Benefits/ problems related to home made dog foods? General Dog Discussions
After doing my research, I've learned that its fairly healthy to feed dogs homemade dog foods. The stuff that goes into dog food is sick!However... I need to try and convince my mother to let me make the food, and prove to her why it will be healthier for our Cockapoo.But, now I'm wondering. Is it really healthier for them? What are problems with feeding home made dog foods? Are there any benefits?I could buy a quality dog food; but my mom refuses to spend the money. Our dog has been living on Purina and Beneful for 9 years, and she claims shes not dead/ sick. While she does have some minor issues I've been concerned about (will give them in More Details) I'm not sure if they're food related.Please help me out and give me as much information AND sources as to why I should (or shouldn't) make my own dog food.Thank you!My dog has some breathing problems occassionally; especially when shes on a leash. She makes sounds like she is choking and breathes very strangely.She also has small bumps on her skin that about less than a centimeter in width and about the same/ a little bit more in their height. The bumps are the same color as her skin if not a bit pinker.Her energy level is also very poor. She never plays and sleeps all day, even though I take her for a walk almost every morning.Is it alright to feed them canned peas and canned tuna?
