There was an article in one of the local papers here about homemade cooking for dogs, some pros and cons debated by owners and Veterinarians. Thought I would share the two nutrtional website links they recommended...both are links to click on.

BalanceIT (at Home page choose pet lover or Vet)
The article also had a list (By The Associated Press): Some Foods To Avoid When Cooking For Pets (source is ASPCA). I thought the list was interesting, especially the garlic (and avocado) as there is garlic in so many natural dog treats and food.
Alcoholic beverages
Avocado
Chocolate
Coffee
Fatty foods
Macadamia nuts
Moldy or spoiled foods
Onions and onion powder
Raisins and grapes
Salt
Yeast dough
Garlic
Products sweetened with xylitol
Please don't shoot the messenger! Just sharing the info from the article and thought it would be interesting to pass along for discussion, or not. K? [
