How legit is this video from Bon Appetit where they make their own dog food?

Thanks for reaching out! It's great that you're considering the quality of food for your dog. Making homemade dog food can indeed be a viable option, as long as it meets all of your pet's nutritional needs. The video you mentioned from Bon Appetit likely provides an overview of how to prepare dog food at home, which can be perfectly legitimate when done correctly.



However, it's essential to keep in mind that dogs have specific dietary requirements that need to be balanced for optimal health, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Without the right balance, you risk deficiencies or excesses that can impact your dog's health.



If you're thinking about making your own dog food, here are a few tips:

- Consult with a veterinarian to ensure the recipe meets your dog's needs.

- Use high-quality, whole ingredients and avoid any that are toxic to dogs, like onions or garlic.

- Introduce the homemade food gradually to prevent digestive upset.



Look out for signs of nutritional deficiencies or imbalances such as dull coat, weight loss, or lethargy, and seek professional help if you notice these.



To get a personalized plan tailored specifically for your dog's dietary needs, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet, where we can delve deeper into their health and nutritional requirements.
