With the recall, a lot of people have started cooking their own meals for their pets. Personally, I barely have enough time to cook a healthy meal for myself, so I often don't venture into daily home made meals for my dog. However, I can understand everyone's concerns. I've written plenty on what a disgrace the pet food industry is right now.
Keep in mind though, that when cooking for your pets, it is not easy to provide all the nutrition, vitamins and minerals your furry friend requires.
In addition, common foods can be dangerous. The FDA and the American Veterinary Medical Association are urging pet owners to switch brands if they are worried. The veterinarian group also warned that many common foods are not safe for pets, including salt, garlic, onions, grapes and chocolate.
I can't say I blame you if you decide to make home made meals, but wanted to mention these things that need to be considered.

I worry that a lot of people will start making their own dog food without doing all the research into a dog's special nutrition needs.
