I have decided to make all my dogs food is it better to cook it or serve raw?

I do not want to feed her commercial dog food because of what goes in it so i decided after speaking to my vet to prepare the meals myself should I cook the meals or feed the B.A.RF Diet and does anyone have nutrious recipes i could use she is a puppy but will be a large dogI have decided to make all my dogs food is it better to cook it or serve raw?
A basic raw food diet will consist of:



Meat

Bones (50% raw meaty bones Or 10% actual bone)

Organ meat (10% organs)



Based around that, you will need to feed as much variety as you can by way of proteins, add in a raw egg a couple/few times a week and feel free to add in other extras such as cottage cheese and yogurt. Vegetables are optional. If you feed them, either feed them pulverized and raw or you can steam them.

Raw is better. BARF diet is the best diet to put a dog on. I cook for my dogs, that's a personal choice. But for advice, I recommend RAW. This is why, because cooking it, gets rid of ALOT of things inside the food a dog should have. Plus, their shxt won't smell as bad, also, it usually just crumbles and bloe away in the wind..

I cook a vegetable stew with rice and pasta, use any veggie,and serve with raw meat, i.e mince beef, chicken, necks and wings, heart, liver( do cook the liver) don't forget some bones, and a good dry food.Also calcium tablets for bone Development(most important)I have decided to make all my dogs food is it better to cook it or serve raw?
If you do not want to feed commercial feed raw. For a Husky it would be very beneficial anyway, don't forget the fish which is a very important part of the raw diet.
Dogs are built to eat raw meat. Their stomach comes with enzyme that kill things like ecoli in raw meat. I have decided to make all my dogs food is it better to cook it or serve raw?
Welp whats your pups breed? There is a difference between like a Dane and a Siberian.
Raw is much better. Cooking destroys a lot of the nutrients.
A friend of mine owns two golden retrievers... medium as the breed goes but the two can pack away food.



I know she often will do a mixture of cooked vegetables (beans usually), well-cooked ground beef or liver, and plain white rice with their regular food or as meal substitute. Sometimes she'll put in cottage cheese, sometimes it'll be pumpkin (ala from a can, like for pumpkin pies, to help with digestion). EVERYTHING she's made for her dogs, she has discussed with her vet about portion size and health (and everything was also cooked, without spices or salts or other additives).



I don't know much about the BARF diet, though it seems that by giving your dog raw meats, you run the risk of introducing risky bacteria or parasites into their diet. Cooking meat eliminates the risk by killing those potential invaders. Any diet change you make, I recommend you do a gradual switch from whatever you're doing now to what you want to feed your dog (just like us: sudden shake ups in diet, such as if you travel to a foreign country, might cause upsets in your digestion, so gradual change cancels the chance of that happening).



From what I've read and heard, there's really no scientific proof that the BARF diet is really all that much more beneficial over cooked foods. Then again, I'm sure there are pros and cons to both methods.



Please consult your vet if you do make a diet change, to double check that anything you feed your puppy is nutritional and healthy. :)
