At one time homemade dog food was all that a dog could expect to be fed. They liked the food and fared well when fed on homemade dog food. Today, the average lifespan of a domestic dog is much lower than that of dogs that were fed with homemade and fresh dog food. The reason why dogs today do not live as long as dogs of the days gone by are that today dogs are being fed commercially produced dog foods. These dog foods are not nutritional and they are also not the healthiest foods that you can feed your dog. Commercial dog foods contain too much grain that help in bulking up the food and increasing profits for the makers of such foods. If you are serious about protecting your dog’s health and if you want to give them foods that they will relish then it makes sense to make them dog treats from baby food. These dog treats are economical to make and they also help ensure the well being of your dog by providing them with proper nutrition. The nice thing about making homemade dog treats is that they will last for a week or even longer and you can also freeze them and make them last longer. This means that you are always going to have healthy and cheap alternatives to feed your dog.
