Recently, due to the interference of bird flu and mad cow disease, many brands of dry dog food have been removed from the shelves or reduced production. To this end, many dog owners have changed to eat their own dog food. However, when preparing dog food, we must pay attention to the fact that dogs don't need much salt and can't prepare salty dog food. This is a basic principle.

Veterinary experts point out that dogs are different from humans. Their only sweat glands are on the soles of their feet, and their demand for salt is very low, less than a quarter of that of humans. So if you make your own dog food, whether it's starch or meat, just cook it in water without adding any salt. Regarding the intake of protein, veterinary experts suggest that you can choose chicken and mutton, boiled in water, which dogs like very much. In addition, you can also add some whole grains, such as noodles, oats and rice, or mix them with ready-made canned dog meat. Remember, salty food will only increase the pressure on the dog's kidneys and will not bring any benefits to the dog's health.
