Make Your Own Dog Food

dog-food1

A lot of the most popular dog food brands have recently been recalled because of food poisoning, and in some cases its been fatal. If you are concerned about the health of your dog and want to make sure that they are getting healthy foods there are ways of making your own healthy dog food. A suggested formula is 75% carbohydrates to 25% meat.

A simple dog food recipe is to mix and cook brown rice, ground meat, vegetables, water and a small amount of brewers yeast. Dogs can’t digest vegetables very well, so they need to go through the food processor thoroughly before adding. Amounts of water vary depending on whether you want dry or wet food. Your homemade dog food should be served at room temperature.

Rachel Ray’s Nutrish Dog Food

Rachel Ray’s Nutrish Dog Food

Fido, meet Yum-o.

Rachael Ray is bringing her trademark brand of culinary perk to the pet world, launching a new line of premium dog food.

The Rover-friendly line, dubbed Rachael Ray Nutrish, features two varieties of all-natural pooch chow recipes, which have been both named after and developed for Ray’s own four-legged friend, her pit bull Isaboo.

Proceeds from the products will be donated to Rachael’s Rescue, an organization founded by the foodie that helps at-risk animals through the adoption process.

“I love my dog Isaboo, and as a member of my family, I need to make sure that she eats as well as the rest of us,” Ray gushes. “With the launch of Nutrish, I now have the opportunity to share with other pet lovers some of her favorite meals, flavors and special treats.”

Those favorites include the somewhat cloyingly named treats Isaboo Booscotti and Isaboo Grill Bites.

“It seemed like not a lot of extra time to donate to something that could potentially raise millions of dollars for championing these little creatures that can’t speak for themselves,” Ray said of the line’s charitable bent.

Ray has made no secret of her dog-loving ways over the years, featuring her pup in the opening credits of her Food Network show 30 Minute Meals, as well as featuring the dog on her syndicated talk show, Every Day With Rachael Ray.
