What Is the Best Homemade Dog Food? Simple, Easy Homemade Dog Food

The best homemade dog food is always one that has meat first. Dogs are carnivores, and feeding them commercial corn-based food is just ridiculous, harmful, and unnecessary.

The best alternative is making your own food from scratch is by using a completely balanced base or "pre mix".

The Best Homemade Dog Food is From a Dehydrated Pre-mix.

WHAT IS A PRE MIX?

A pre mix is a commercially ready, dehydrated product that has all the essential ingredients, vitamins, mineral and supplements.

There are two forms of dehydration. You will find freeze-dried and air-dried offered with and without the meat.

The base mix without protein allows you to add your own meat. This method lets you give your dog a rotation diet, by using a variety of protein sources. My husband is a hunter, so my dogs get a lot of wild game such as venison, elk and wild boar. Of course I also use chicken, turkey, beef and pork when it is on sale. You can also choose to feed raw or cooked, but either way this is the best solution to making your own homemade food from scratch and still getting a superior quality.

The formulas that come with the meat included are 100% complete, and you just need to add the liquid to reconstitute.

The companies that make these types of food are all smaller, family run and use local and fresh ingredients only.

Here are the best homemade dog food pre-mixes:
