Making your own homemade meals is the best way to make sure your dog eats an all-natural diet.Make sure the meals you make are balanced with vitamins and minerals.Purchase dog food that is made with wholesome meats, fruits, and vegetables if you don't have the time to make your own meals.There are artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners in dog food.
Step 1: It's a good idea to choose a high-valueProtein.
40 to 50 percent of your dog's diet should be high- value proteins.Lean meats should not be more than 10% fat.Ideally, you should choose poultry, beef, and organs such as the heart and liver.Salmon, trout, mackerel, and sardines are some of the fish that are good for you.Eggs are a great addition to your dog's diet.Pomeranians can only be fed half an egg three times a week.
Step 2: Fruits and vegetables should be added.
30% of your Pomeranian's meal should be fruits and vegetables.Green peas, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, and celery are non-starchy vegetables.Fruits such as bananas, apples, blueberries, strawberries, oranges, raspberries, mango, papaya, watermelon, pineapple, and peaches are great additions to your Pomeranian's diet.
Step 3: Use healthy sugars.
Carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet, but should only make up 20% of the diet.It is a good idea to include potatoes, sweet potatoes and winter squashes in your Pomeranian's diet.Grains such as oatmeal and brown or white rice are good for you.
Step 4: It's a good idea to mix in vitamins and minerals.
Adding vitamins and minerals to your dog's meals is important.The supplements make sure that your dog is getting enough vitamins.All homemade meals need to be supplemented with calcium, oils, and vitamins.The amount of calcium per pound of food should be 800 to 1,000.The immune system is helped by fish oil.When you don't feed your dog fish, give 300 to 30 pounds of body weight to EPA and DHA.If you don't feed your Pomeranian much poultry fat, you should use a plant oil to supplement its diet.It's a good idea to add oil to every pound of meat.
Step 5: Make sure to cook the ingredients thoroughly.
In a large pot or dutch oven, cook olive oil or coconut oil.Add in the meat and cook for three to five minutes.Then, cook your vegetables thoroughly.Until heated through, mix in any cooked carbohydrates.It's important to cook vegetables thoroughly.Cut the meat into small cubes.
Step 6: Evaluate the first three ingredients.
The first two to three ingredients in dry food should be animals.There is a lot of water in meat.The first two ingredients are necessary to make sure your dog gets its daily intake.The meat meal should be either whole or fresh.The first two ingredients on the list should be chicken meal and beef meal.
Step 7: A brand with whole, unprocessed foods is a good choice.
A dog food that contains whole, unprocessed grains, vegetables, fruits, and other food products is a good choice.Compared to processed foods, unprocessed foods are more likely to have their vitamins intact.Champion Petfoods' Orijen is one of the great all-natural brands.You can find them at specialty pet stores.Try to avoid big name brands such as Beneful, Iams, Pedigree, and the like.
Step 8: You should be aware of natural brands.
Similar to human products that claim to be natural, dog foods can still contain unnatural ingredients.These ingredients include animal by-products, chemicals, Preservative, and artificial colors.Before buying your dog food, make sure to check the ingredient list.Don't buy brands that list meat as their main ingredient.For example, "lamb meal" should be as specific as possible.
Step 9: Ask other dog owners.
Asking other owners for suggestions is a great way to find out how to give your dog a good diet.Find out what kind of dog food Pomeranian owners give their dogs.There is a degree of variability in the diet of the Pomeranian.What works for their dog might not work for you.What kind of food do you feed your dog?Do you ever cook for your dog?Which brand of dog food do you use?Which brand did not work well?
Step 10: Don't buy brands that contain meat by-products.
Meat and bone meal come from the rendering process.They can hold food waste from restaurants and stores.Dog food that contains by-products can also contain toxins, such as mold-produced mycotoxins and pentobarbital.
Step 11: Don't buy brands that contain chemicals.
Commercial dog food can contain harmful chemicals.Don't buy products that contain BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, and propylene glycol.Natural Preservatives, such as Vitamins C or E, are good for you.
Step 12: There are brands that are free of artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners.
Artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners can cause diseases in dogs.Blue 2, Red 40, and Yellow 5 and 6 are artificial colors.All of the flavor in your dog's food should come from healthy meat and fat.It's a good idea to avoid food with sweeteners, such as corn syrup and Xylitol.
Step 13: You should consult your vet.
There are brands that offer the best ingredients and where to find them.Specific brands can be avoided.Your vet will be able to recommend brands and a diet regimen that caters to your pet's needs.You can schedule a trip to the vet's office.You should bring a pen and paper.
