A Feast For The Dog

Dogs sometimes get tired of always eating the same thing. In their case it is mostly dry food. That’s why you can offer them delicious and healthy homemade food every now and then.

Dogs and humans have something in common: they are social beings. They both like to interact with their fellow dogs. Therefore, a feast for the dog is also appropriate now and then.

After all, he has the right to celebrate his birthday or another family celebration!

The animal’s taste will guide you in choosing the right recipe.

You want to prepare a tasty dish with lots of nutrients and minerals. It must not contain sugar, too much fat or carbohydrates. Remember that the health of your fur nose is very dependent on its diet.

It doesn’t have to be a special day to prepare a feast for the dog  .

Many dog ​​trainers assure that  our fur noses have earned a treat every now and then. 

Serving them the same thing over and over again will eventually bore them and even reduce their appetite.

Which foods are best to combine? We recommend veal, carrots, peas, fish, spaghetti, rice, artichokes and apples, among other things . 

With this we can cover about a third of their nutritional needs. The rest should be good quality dry food.

When in doubt, the best thing to do is to contact the veterinarian. Due to the dog’s age or physical condition, he may not be able to consume certain products.

There are also foods such as onions or chocolate that are absolutely forbidden.

General tips for preparing a celebratory meal for your dog

If it is actually your fur nose’s birthday,  you have to make an effort to give them a festive meal.

If you then invite his friends over to enjoy this new menu, he will surely be delighted.

Of course, every dog ​​owner has to take care of his four-pawed friend when it comes to serving. Otherwise there could possibly be arguments.

Two hours will be enough for him. This is because dogs are not alert for a particularly long time.

It is best to choose a large garden or park for the birthday party. Any place outdoors is sure to please the fur-nosed friends.

The number of furry guests, their size, and the time of year will all help you make the best choice.
