This is a very important question. After the recent pet food debacles and the tragedy that befell many pets and their owners, the choice of safe food for dogs have come down drastically.

I was in the US last year, and when coming back, I brought back a host of gifts for my dogs. That included several packets of dog treats. This was just before the pet food scandal became public. I came back home and found out about it from the news. We promptly wrote back to the manufacturer asking them how safe these treats would be for out dogs. After examining the batch numbers in the packs, they concluded that although several of their products have been found to be “tainted”, these weren’t.

Would you take the risk and go ahead and give your dogs those treats? I wouldn’t, and I didn’t. The packs were safely disposed (we had to keep in mind the several dogs that made rounds of the dumpsters for food), and we were back to our original diet.

That one adventure aside, we had always been giving our dogs food that was prepared at home. They love it, and it has nutritional value. We have noticed that when it comes to dogs, the food preferences are similar to that of children—different dogs prefer different biscuits. Some would sulk if they do not get their regular brand. Some prefer wheat to rice.

What does your dog eat? Is he/she still on packaged dog food? What brand are you using? Do you cook for your dog? Do you have a special recipe that you would like to share with us? Let us know. Leave a comment for all our dog loving readers to see.
