Your Smyrna veterinarian knows that you have a lot of choices when it comes to choosing a pet food. In fact, many people forgo commercial food altogether and make their own pet food, but is this a safe practice?

If done properly, homemade dog food can be safe and nutritious for your pet. However, this can be a bit more difficult than people think. There are a lot of nutritional requirements that must be met for your dog to have a proper diet. Many people like knowing exactly what is in their pet’s food, so this may or may not be an issue. Also, since preservatives probably won’t be involved, the food for your pet must be made frequently and can be significantly more expensive than commercial food depending on what you get. If you are interested in making homemade food for your dog, please contact a professional for advice. See details here.
