Vegetarian, Vegan and Animal Rights

Seriously have you read the ingredients labels on commercial dog and cat food? It is corn meal and bone meal and who knows what else. I would hate to take a tour of the factory.

I try to make homemade dog food as much as I can. I can make a healthy meal as cheap as I can buy that junk in a can or a bag. Generally I buy meat on sale- chicken, pork, beef, fish - whatever and mix it with spinach, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, oatmeal, quinoa, green beans, cooked potatoes. They also like treats of bananas and yogurt. For spices you cant give them any salt, but they love Italian seasoning and fennel. The list is endless but search online for foods that are poisonous to dogs - like raisins, onions, etc. Not sure about cats, not a cat feeder.

In the wild I think dogs eat more than just meat. However, I think meat should be a very major part of their diet, and the more varied and natural the better.
