From PETA:
The recent pet food recall has sent many people scrambling to find food that is safe for their animals. Many are resorting to making their own dog and cat food, which is understandable, since the tragedy has highlighted the fact that there are few laws governing what can go into pet food.
Guardians who prepare pet food from scratch must be careful to ensure that the meals are properly balanced. They must also be careful not to feed animals undercooked meat or eggs, or dairy products, which can cause digestive problems. Certain foods that are safe for humans, including chocolate, coffee, avocadoes, onions, garlic, raisins, and grapes, can be toxic to dogs and cats.
I personally feed my dog the recipes on www.Vegepet.com. These recipes are scientifically formulated, easy to prepare, and use inexpensive and wholesome ingredients like oats, rice, chickpeas, and lentils. My dog loves his food and thrives on it.
For more information on healthy, homemade meals for dogs and cats, as well as the latest recall information, visit www.PETA.org.
