Due to some fairly recent pet recalls, many dog owners are turning towards the idea of making their own dry dog food. This is a fantastic choice, because many store brands do not have the quality of ingredients that your pet needs for a balanced diet and nutrition. By making your own dry dog food you can always be sure that the ingredients you feed your dog are fresh, healthy, and contain the vitamins and minerals that they need.
There are some real nutritional benefits to feeding a dog a balanced diet of raw foods (meat and veggies, along with some whole grains). If you were to add some meat, chopped or shredded fresh vegetables and fruits to the dried food, it would be really beneficial and would contribute more nourishment than feeding a dog only the highly processed contents in commercial dry dog foods!
There is much more caloric density in dry dog food due to wet having a lot of water in it. Remember, if you are going with dry, ""premium"" dog foods are better. Please understand that even though it will cost you more at the cash register, you will use less at feeding time due to its nutritional value, therefore, the cost will actually seem the same.
