VIDEO: Cooking for the dog yourself
The right amount for your dog
- The right amount of food that you cook for your dog yourself depends on various factors such as castration, activity, age, weight and the dog's state of health. If your dog is overweight, reduce the meat ration and offer him more vegetables.
- For a dog weighing 10 kg you need approx. 250 g of meat and 50 g of vegetables and a teaspoon of oil. If your dog weighs 20 kg, take approx. 500 g of meat and 100 g of vegetables, as well as a tablespoon of oil. These guidelines apply to a daily ration for a healthy adult dog.
Basics if you cook yourself
- In order to be able to use the nutrients in vegetables optimally, you have to puree them if you cook for your dog yourself, or grate them very small. You can also briefly boil or steam the vegetables and then mash them. Vegetables can be ideally combined with meat.
- Noodles and rice must of course be cooked for the dog, but should not be on the menu too often. They are part of the grain and dogs cannot use this very well. If you have cancer or epilepsy, you should avoid grains for your dog. Meat and grains together in one meal can cause gas.
- You can cook all kinds of meat for your dog yourself, but not bones. Cooked bones can splinter and are therefore very dangerous. If you want to feed your dog appropriately, give him the raw meat to eat. Beware of pork. You should never feed it raw, because a few years ago it was infected with the Aujetzkivirus in Germany, which can be fatal for dogs.
