I am watching a show on Iowa Public Television called "B Organic." I really like this show because it is all about being eco-friendly and it is made in Iowa. On today's show, the host has a lady on who bakes dog treats and meals. I think this is a little weird, but would be fun to do.
I understand that making meals for your dog is beneficial because it allows you to know what your dog is eating. I think I would do this for my dog if I had the time. All the recipes you can make for your dog, humans can eat also. Another disadvantage would be you have to spend the money on fresh vegetables and some different ingredients.
The treats look a little more reasonable. I would like doing this for my dog because I like to bake. The treats are bread based and you can add bacon and peanut butter to them. They are also made in mini cupcake pans so you can make a lot at one time. I would enjoy this better than making a meal. This could be a monthly thing and wouldn't take up too much of my time. The ingredients would also be cheaper and easier to find.
I am not sure if making your dog treats and meals would be cheaper than buying the bagged stuff. I would think it would be a little more expensive in the end because everything is fresh. It also may be cheaper than buying organic food and treats because that stuff is always expensive. It is also easier to just run to the store to get more dog food than take the time to make it.
In the end, I support baking and cooking for your dog because it is healthier for the dog and gives the owner peace of mind knowing what their dog is eating.
I think any kind of healthy eating is likely more expensive than pre-produced food.
