My Bestfriend

The worsening economy affects us all, out pets included. An increasing number of pet owners are giving up their furry companions for adoption or leaving them in shelters simply because they couldn’t afford the growing veterinary and food expenses. Other owners are trimming their budgets and thinking of ways to keep their pets.

Shaun Olmstead, a responsible pet ownership advocate, says that one way to cut cost on pet care expenses is to provide them with home made meals. He adds that aside from being cheaper, home-prepared pet food are also more nutritious than their store bought counterpart which are laden with high levels of fillers and preservatives.

Below is a simple and healthy dog food recipe that is full of protein to give the dog added energy and help to condition the coat.

Ingredients:
A large piece of liver, cut into cubes
Garlic powder
1 cup of rolled outs

Procedure:

Stir in the garlic powder
Lightly boil the carrot, leek and potato until soft. Drain thoroughly
Mix the liver, oats, carrot, leek and potato together until thoroughly combined.
Store in an air-tight container until ready to serve to the dog.
