Learn How To Make Dog Food That Tastes Great

Many Dog owners switch to homemade Dog food because they have fussy eaters. Dog can become very disdainful of commercial Dog foods and may decide that enough is enough and become very fussy eaters.

Before I continue I will state that I absolutely do not believe in giving in to a fussy eater. The main reason why Dogs begin to turn their noses up at food is because they simply know that if they hold out long enough they will be supplied with something better. I would never advise a Dog owner to give in to this. Dogs should eat what they are given as naturally they would not be fussy eaters. The giving of scraps at the wrong times can lead to fussy eating and I would advise all Dog owners to never give in to a fussy eater. Homemade Dog foods can be just as much a problem as commercial foods when it comes to this problem.

If you repeatedly supply super tasty meats and fish then you may find you have the beginnings of a fussy eater. Healthy homemade Dog treats should always be fairly similar in the quality so you never end up with this problem. Learning how to make dog food that consistently tastes great will help stop this problem ever happening and will lead to a more stable eater.

Learning how to make Dog food that tastes great is very worthwhile to know, but bear in mind that a Dog that is simply given a raw Chicken carcass will be in Doggie heaven. These Dog food recipes, while worthwhile should never dominate your life. A simple throwaway meal of raw meaty bones or raw meat is always a super healthy Dog treat and if you are pushed for time I see nothing wrong with this. You can always make up for it tomorrow, right?

Preparing homemade Dog foods takes time on our part, and if you have chosen to go down this road then a break for the chores that are often involved is not admitting defeat. Feed raw bones regularly to your Dog f they have no adverse side effects. They really are very important to your Dog. Apart from being a great source of protein and calcium, raw bones do a fantastic job of keeping your Dogs teeth clean.

How To Make Dog Food That Tastes Great

If you have decided to prepare homemade Dog foods on a regular or permanent basis then there are a few tips that will keep the flavors quite consistent and mean that every meal has a great taste and is more than palatable to the fussiest of eaters.

The typical healthy homemade dog food may consist of some of the following basics:

  • Brown Rice

  • Oatmeal

  • Vegetables

  • Eggs

  • Powdered Milk

  • Oils

  • Meat

  • Potatoes

  • Fish


All these ingredients will form the basis of a very healthy home made Dog food recipe. Trying to keep the flavors consistent and high is not difficult and the answer lies in the addition of a stock or gravy. To make fantastic stock that can be added to all meals can be prepared in the following way:

  1. Ask at the Fish or Meat counter for carcasses of Chickens and the remains of boned Fish. All these ends and Heads etc, while not the most palatable are fantastic as the basis of a liquid to add to the recipes for Dog food that you will be preparing.

  2. Boil up any bones, heads, carcasses you can find in a large pan of water. Simmer for an hour or so.

  3. Once boiled and the very high flavor imparted you can simply sieve the contents to give you an extremely rich and tasty liquid that you can add to each meal. You can re-use this liquid to cook meats for the Dogs meal or simply pour, slightly warm, over raw ingredients.

  4. This simple and very cheap, or sometimes free, stock will be full of great protein and will even get your mouth watering.

  5. By adding this stock to meals that you prepare for your Dog you will be keeping a fairly consistent flavor to the meals and your arsenal of healthy homemade Dog food recipes will have been given a significant boost.


As stated earlier I am no advocate of pandering to fussy eaters as it is normally the fact that Dogs are given too many scraps at times when it is not appropriate that can cause fussy eating. I would say that no Dog will ever starve itself to death. Many Dogs can easily go for a few days without eating with no adverse effects.

If you are wondering how to make Dog food that will always be palatable then follow the above instructions for a fabulous addition to the home prepared Dog food. This way you will know that the food is consistently tasty and if your Dog does choose to ignore or not eat the Healthy homemade Dog treat of a meal then you know it has nothing to do with the food. It beats a bowl of Kibble right?
