Thanksgiving Day is one of the treasured holidays in which we gather with our families to celebrate, eat and enjoy each others company. Most dog owners include their furry family members in the celebrations, whether their dog is laying in front of a warm fire in the family room or enjoying some snacks off their plate from underneath the table. Everyone has their own way of celebrating the holidays, and there is no reason why it cannot be an enjoyable occasion for your dog as well!

Many dog owners want to share their homecooked food with their pets, which is why it is very important to know your dog and to know what foods are considered toxic to pets.

If your dog is enjoying the amazing benefits of a homemade dog food diet, or a raw food diet, then a little bit of your homecooked food will be fine to share. If your dog is fed a commercial kibble diet, you need to know their level of tolerance and stomach sensitivity prior to feeding homecooked food to avoid giving your dog an upset stomach.

It is extremely important to be aware of the food that is considered unsafe and even toxic for pets to consume. Do not feed anything containing onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, xylitol, artificial sweetners, raw yeast or bread dough, macadamia nuts, alcohol or avovado. Those ingredients have been deemed toxic and can harm your pet.

Depending on how big your family is and how loud these events can be, it is important to provide a safe and quiet place for your dog to sleep if they require it. Holidays can be hectic and busy for many people, and some dogs do not tolerate loud noise and large crowds very well, so be aware of your dog during these special gatherings.

For dogs that must stay home during the holidays, consider bringing them a special treat or snack to make it special for them as well! You can even make a special homemade meal that night for your canine companion using dog friendly ingredients!

Happy Thanksgiving Day from K9 Instinct!

A homemade dog food diet is packed full of real wholesome meat, nutritious fruit and hearty vegetables. This whole food diet is the perfect way to provide your furry family members with real nutrition that will promote health and longevity.

Second only to a Raw Food Diet for dogs, a homemade diet is an extremely healthy alternative to often unhealthy commercial kibble diets. With a homemade dog food diet you can control the ingredients, potential allergens, additives and nutrition of your dog's food. Better nutrition means a longer, healthier life and ultimately less time your dog will spend being sick and less money you will spend at the veterinarian hospital! Making your own homemade dog food is a great opportunity to provide your dogs with a wide variety of different meat, fruits and vegetables which results in a nutrient dense diet!

A homemade dog food diet is perfect for dogs suffering from allergies, since you can control exactly what ingredients your dog is eating. Adding supplements that improve skin and coat condition while feeding ingredients that do not create allergic symptoms in your dog can alleviate allergies or eliminate symptoms completely! People often notice their dogs smell much better, as that infamous "doggy odour" often goes away when dogs are fed a clean diet. Homemade dog food can also improve a dogs' physical condition, improve symptoms of various medical conditions, promote good dental health and strengthen their immune system to ward off illness and disease!

Homemade diet recipes are created with both cooked and raw whole food ingredients, looking much like meals you yourself would eat! Homemade diet recipes use meat (muscle meat and organ meat) with processed (cooked or pureed) whole vegetables and a moist carrier (yoghurt, cottage cheese, kefir, tomato sauce, applesauce) to mix a multivitamin into. The multivitamin is of vital importance to a homemade dog food recipe because it replaces any nutrients lost during the cooking process and ensures complete and balanced nutrition. The multivitamin used in homemade dog food recipes must be a complete whole food multivitamin, as some are not balanced or complete enough to be used in a homemade diet recipe There are several excellent choices, but it is best to consult a dog nutritionist who can help you learn how to properly balance meals.

There is a list of vitamins and minerals that must be added to a cooked homemade diet in order for it to be nutritionally complete, you can learn about these nutrients in my eBook "The Healthy Canine". Since fruits and vegetables are difficult for our dogs (who are carnivores) to digest, we must process them by cooking them and/or making a fruit and veggie puree. Breaking vegetables down for our dogs helps them absorb the nutrients found within.
