no nutritional value..... potato chips would be as good a treat. Your heart is in the right place, so try again with just alittle more thought

Homemade dog food doesn't have to be complicated as long as you provide your dog with essential nutrients such as vegetables, pasta, rice, cereals, protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.

Some of us believe that veggies, pasta, rice, cereals, etc. are NOT essential to a dog's healthy diet.

I suggest that if anyone is looking at home cooking - they do their homework and not just copy off recipes from a message board. The recipe posted here could make a dog extremely ill.

That is for sure! Use the NRC or AAFCO numbers to evaluate whether the recipe is suitable or not. Look for a source of calcium in a recipe meant as a meal first off. No food, dairy or other, is going to have enough for a dog. It must have bone meal, egg shell or some other source of calcium included. That along knocks an awful lot of dog food recipes out of contention.

Dogs can digest nutrients from corn, wheat and oats but any grains need to be in lesser amounts and very well cooked to be digested for it to be a suitable food. I prefer to use meaty treats to grain filled treats. Why feed grains to a dog?

I would never feed bacon to a dog unless it was the only way to get food down her. That is junk food of the highest order!

Oy! I agree.

I had considered fried bacon but I wasn't sure if if was good for them. What type of bacon do you use?
