How to Choose an All Natural Homemade Dog Food
With so many issues about commercial dog food, more and more pet owners are now switching to all natural homemade dog food. Homemade dog food is not only safe but also healthy. Choosing and preparing your own dog food are relatively easy if you know how. Here are some useful tips:
Before switching to all natural homemade dog food, it is best to consult your vet and get some advice. You also have to understand the healthy diet requirements of dogs with regards to their breeds, age and other factors. Generally, dogs need 40% protein, 30% starch and 30% fiber.
Slowly switch to all natural homemade dog food. A sudden change in your dog’s diet may result to an upset stomach and other digestive problems.
Choose healthy fresh lean meat for your dog. Meat is the basic component of protein requirements of your dog. An all natural homemade dog food may contain lean meat like turkey, chicken, beef and fish. Kidney, liver and other organ meat are also good for your dog. Cook the meat before feeding it to your dog. Although dogs are carnivores, it is best to cook meat to kill the bacteria that may cause health problems to your dog.
Another source of all natural homemade dog food is the addition of vegetables to your dogs’ diet. Vegetables act as antioxidants and a good source of nutrients and vitamins. You can add cooked corn, squash, peas and potatoes. Raw carrots and lettuce are also good for your dog.
You also have to make sure that your dog is well hydrated and there is plenty of water available for your dog. Avoid feeding your dog with table scraps; it is not a good habit to teach your dog to eat leftovers.
Switching to all natural homemade dog food is not only cheap but it also ensures your dog’s health and safety.
Get some healthy, well-balanced dog food recipes and start feeding your dog homemade food. Do you want to discover a step-by-step survival guide that makes your dog live a longer, healthier life, so you enjoy up to 8.3 more years of happiness & companionship than is statistically predicted?

Natural Cat Food – Do It Yourself Easily And Quickly
In the last decades of the 20th century, people were generally hoodwinked into believing that processed and prepared food was better for your health and that of your pets.
Happily, people are now realising that this isn’t the case. More and more people are looking for a healthy diet for themselves and their pets.
When you search for a healthy diet for your cat, you really can’t go past natural cat food. Nature does know best, despite the clamouring of the pet food manufacturers. Of course they clamour – it’s big business.
But it doesn’t mean that the clamouring is based on fact.
So how do you set about finding a natural cat food? You probably have certain criteria, such as:
- it must be easy as you’re busy
- it must be nutritionally complete
- it must satisfy your cat mentally as well as physically
- it must be realistically priced
As the demand increases, businesses will spring up everywhere that offer natural pet food. Some will indeed do their utmost to fulfil this honestly, but sadly, there will always be others who will cut corners on quality and truly natural cat food.
Who do you trust?
The only person you can really trust, when it comes down to it, is you!
But I don’t have the expertise, I hear you say.
No, you may not now. But you can learn. And learn quite fast. All you need to do is to follow natural laws.
Lets look at a wild cats diet first, as that’s the most natural cat food there is.
A cat will kill and immediately eat small animals up to about their own size. This can tell you five important facts:
- the food is very fresh
- the food is raw
- the food is warm
- the food contains bones
- the food is mostly muscle meat and bones, but there are small amounts of offal
I can hear questions forming in your mind – can you really feed cats raw meat? Doesn’t that contain harmful bacteria or parasites? Won’t the bones splinter and pierce the intestinal tract?
You know, nature doesn’t get things wrong. It’s had a long time to perfect things. If the raw meat and bones in natural cat food created health problems, cats would have died out long ago. But we all know, that given the right conditions, wild or feral cat populations can grow very large.
So yes, raw meat is the healthiest and best natural cat food you can give your cat.
And no, raw bones won’t create problems. It’s cooked bones which can splinter and create all sorts of health issues. But cooked bones aren’t natural, so it’s logical that they have the potential to create mayhem.
And no, bacteria and worms are not a problem for cats.
So nature has got it right. Raw food is best!
Of course, it’s not that simple – nothing ever is, is it? You need to know the right balance, what to supplement and why, how many meals a day, what sort and size of bones are suitable, how to feed growing kittens and pregnant queens, how much offal and what kind, because you can get it wrong and then your cat can suffer the consequences.
And the big question on how to convert an adult cat to raw food – this can be quite a challenge. It’s not dissimilar to the concept of raising your kids on fast food, then telling them it’s all raw fruit and veggies from now on. You’re likely to have a riot on your hands!
However, once you get the hang of doing it yourself, it’s a doddle. And the best thing about it, is that the health of your cat will steadily improve to the best it’s ever been. And the spin off from that is much lower health professional fees.
Don’t you just love a win-win situation?

Natural Balanced Dog Food
When you shop for natural balanced dog food, what should you look for when choosing the best product for your canine friend? In general, the best natural dog foods achieve balance through the food ingredients they contain. However, you need to know what to search for before you’re able to find truly natural and healthy options for your pet. Most dog foods are marketed as ‘nutritionally balanced’ or ‘nutritionally complete,’ indicating that the constituent food ingredients have been supplemented with nutrients at the levels recommended by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), which is essentially a pet food industry regulated entity. Although these recommended nutrient levels are based on individual research data collected by the National Research Council (NRC), these data cannot possibly reflect the actual needs of every pet, as even identical twins may exhibit metabolic differences based on environmental factors alone. How can laboratory-based nutritional studies, or even laboratory-based feeding studies, compare to real life scenarios if even the qualities of the water supplied to the animals differs from lab to lab and home to home? Moreover, most laboratory studies are conducted with ‘purified’ diets, which are a far cry from present-day commercial dog foods. As well, the quality of nutrients added to attain the AAFCO established levels to allow dog foods to be marketed as ‘complete’ or ‘balanced’ are often of such low quality that they may actually pose risks to, rather than support, your dog’s health. Many of these supplements are manufactured in China, where manufacturers may have low quality assurance and are often subject to little oversight.
A natural balanced dog food is composed of real food ingredients that supply the nutrients that your dog requires to maintain good health—just as nature intended. Of course, supplementation with nutrients often becomes necessary when low-quality food ingredients are used, as is often the case in most so-called ‘balanced dog foods.’ Both non-certified and feed-quality ingredients alike contain low levels of nutrients, as well as a variety of toxic chemicals from agricultural and manufacturing processes. Not surprisingly, pet food manufacturers balance these ingredients with added nutrients to provide at least some nutrition for your dog. Moreover, the long shelf lives of most balanced pet foods—designed to accommodate consumer convenience—require the addition of preservatives, which in the best case are ‘natural’ (albeit often derived from cheap, genetically modified plant materials with high pesticide and other chemical residues). In general, the bioavailability of all these added nutrients may be a far cry from optimal, as many of the supplemental vitamins and minerals may be not bioavailable. Bioavailability of added nutrients is especially low in cases where pet foods or their ingredients have been treated with high heat, which can destroy most vitamins and all enzymes, and may denature all amino acids.
A true natural balanced dog food contains ingredients that are rich in the nutrients your dog requires. High quality, organic, humanely raised animal-derived ingredients and properly grown, certified organic plant material are much richer in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and other nutrients than conventional (and significantly less expensive) ingredients. Although natural balanced dog foods are necessarily more expensive than most conventional dog foods, they are unquestionably healthier for your dog.
Feeding your dog natural balanced dog foods gives you the unique opportunity to provide real food for your dog and reserve supplementation—with high quality nutritional supplements that are truly healthful and bioavailable—for times when such supplementation is required (i.e., after injury, during pregnancy, or to mitigate the effects of particular breed-associated chronic diseases that may occur in older dogs). Ideally, natural balanced dog foods are either fresh or frozen, but may also be dehydrated for convenience. But be careful: not all dehydrated natural balanced dog foods are created equal! Even dog foods labeled ‘natural’ and ‘balanced’ may contain otherwise good quality ingredients that have been subjected to high heat before being mixed with other, lower quality, ingredients and dehydrated. Given current laws governing the pet food industry, you, as your dog’s true guardian, must do your homework before serving him or her a natural balanced dog food!

Awaken to the Benefits of Natural Food Supplements
If health food supplements are supposed to be natural solutions for dietary deficiencies in human beings, all natural health supplements should come from human food.
After all, fish eat fish food, dogs eat dog food, cats eat cat food, cows eat grass and dung beetles eat dung. That, by the way is how its always been.
Naturally it would be safest for humans to supplement their diet with human natural food supplements. Consider the overall benefits – weight loss, no obesity, natural cures, healthy lifestyle, weight control. What more would one ask for?
When natural really is natural
Carrots and whole grains are natural and healthy for humans that have been proven. So why do so many supplement manufacturers use strange ingredients in their products that have no safe, long-term, non-toxic history of use? The answer is not complex really. There is no other market for this kind of junk, so, as no one else wants it, it’s cheap and plentiful.
what scientists don’t really know are the long-term detrimental effects of these non-human foods. Who really wants to be a guinea pig? For instance, let’s take dunalliela salina thats used as a carotenoid; it grows in stagnant polluted water that no living creature eats. Its use in food supplements is based not on nutrition but on profit margins and hype-marketing.
Natural foods and food supplements are strong marketing expressions. And the majority of marketers have no issues with concocting tales, stretching the truth and misusing these words to promote their “unnatural” products particularly if it increases their profit margin.
Human food chain nutrition
If you want nutritional foods that go way beyond natural, you ought to consider whole food and even organic foods. These natural food supplements use traditional fruits, vegetables and whole grains as their source of ingredients. They are even guaranteed to be free of all toxins and have been proven to work. Hundreds of thousands of satisfied people in dozens of countries around the world have been using natural supplements for over 50 years to look and feel their best – naturally.
Benefits of natural food supplements
They encourage access to key nutrients that prevent disease. Thus they eliminate the population of diseased, malnourished customers.
They make artificial food supplements more expensive, putting their purchase out of reach of more consumers.
With the loss of vitamin sales, a lot of artificial health retailers will be forced out of business. This is good for the health industry at large. The fewer health shops, the less competition there is for prescription drugs.
They set the stage for the future banning of artificial food supplements that prevent disease such as blueberries, broccoli and garlic.
They allow for the arrest and incrimination of key proponents of bad health (drug manufacturers, retailers and consumers), removing them from the public stage so that they no longer have a voice.
They allow natural health critics to use circular logic to attack the drug industry.

Stimulus Bill to Destroy Health Freedom
http://wholesomeherald.blogspot.com/
Natural Solutions Foundation
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/
These latest food Bills do NOT have our safety in mind. This is a move to obtain tyrannical control of the food supply.
Codex Alimentarius does not get near enough attention. Codex Alimentarius represents the single largest threat to our health and freedom. We are talking about control of our food supply and the banning of vitamins herbal supplements. Organic seeds will be considered contaminants and you will be fed the GMO crap that has no nutrients.
If the food supply becomes this controlled, it will matter more than money. THE ISSUE OF CODEX ALIMENTARIUS HAS IMPLICATIONS FAR OUTREACHING 9/11 TRUTH, FEMA CAMPS, OR THE DOLLAR COLLAPSE. AS IT IS ALREADY, AND BY GOVERNMENT ADMITTED FIGURES, MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE DIE EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES DUE TO PROPERLY PRESCRIBED DRUGS. IMAGINE THESE SAME CORPORATIONS CONTROLLING ALL YOUR FOOD, ALL YOUR MEDICINES, AND BANNING ALL NATURAL HEALTH MEANS. THESE ARE THEIR GOALS!
A speech by Ian R. Freeman
I transcribed the main points of the video:
The profitability of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies exceeded the profitablity of the other 490 companies in Fortune 500. These companies have teams of people working on strategies to maximize the opportunity brought about by the implementation of Codex Alimentarius. Codex serves the interest of Big Pharma. And what is really a concern is the World Trade Organization will implement Codex using Napoleon Law.
Common Law means unless something is considered specifically bad it is ok. Napoleonic Law is completely opposite. Unless something is specifically mentioned, it is banned. What the pharmaceutical companies and the food companies are trying to do with the Codex Committee
is to make the testing process so outrageously expensive that the only people who can get things on the approved list are the Monsantos and the Pharmaceutical companies. Nobody else will be able to afford to go through the rigorous tests that you have to go through to get a product unto the approved list.
This has already been tried before in the United States in 1994. It was defeated because of the public outcry, but still a lot of people never heard about it because of a lack of international and national mainstream media coverage.
But it is back in the form of:
Food Safety and Tracking Improvement Act S424 and Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 HR875.
I have read both these Bills and they serve the globalist agenda. There are vague definitions in the bills to give wide reaching scope and I saw where there was a fine of $100, 000 a day per offense. These draconian bills HAVE to be stopped!

When is natural food good for you, and when is it bad?
I have some homework, and we have to find out if natural food is good for you, so far i’ve found out "eating too much of the same thing can be unhealthy" and "when you cook food it can make a chemical reaction(or change) which can be harmful" are they right, and is there any good times and more bad points please.
The trick is to eat in moderation.
When you are eating pasta, for example, a full adult portion of uncooked pasta is 100g. Now it doesn’t look like much, but when it’s cooked for 10 minutes in salted boiling water, it becomes more than twice as bulky.
Same for potatoes – one with your meal is okay, only have a second if you’re really hungry and doing heavy work, because potatoes are a good source of slow-release energy. No butter or mayo or creamy sauce!
Too much carbohydrate (potatoes, pasta, grains and other starchy foods) is unhealthy when there’s too much taken of it and the body stores it and then doesn’t do anything to use it. Hence the need to balance out your eating with regular exercise. However, not enough carbohydrate while trying to do too much exercise, as is often the case with sufferers of eating disorders like anorexia, is not good either as those muscles trying to burn (non-existent) fat need carbs to function.
Too much meat is hard on the digestion. Have you every had a huge steak and eaten all of it, and felt very sluggish afterwards? Meat is tough and heavy to digest, cooking helps make it more digestible, but it’s really better not to have too much meat. That said, meat is an excellent source of protein, iron and all kinds of other minerals and vitamin B, which your body needs to help burn carbs – if you think of vitamin B as a kind of Castrol GTX for your muscles, then this might give you the idea of how it functions. If a meat eater suddenly decides to go vegetarian, this can be a shock to the system, so they have to be very very careful to make sure they have a suitable meat replacement. Meat is natural food, the earliest humans were hunter-gatherers, so don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
A classic food for you are beans. No, not in the tin. Beans also come dried, it’s the best way of storing them. You cannot cook them without rehydrating them first, which simply means soaking them in water overnight. However, they are still not edible – these dense little nutrient-packed parcels need to boil hard for about 15 minutes to get the excess starch out of them, then simmer for another hour, depending on the type of bean. Only then can you go doing other things with them.
