All Natural Dog Treatspet food that line grocery and pet store shelves which contain such labels as "Premium" or "Holistic" or "Ultra Premium". These labels have been designed to by pet food companies to make pet owners feel better about the food they are purchasing. These big companies use these types of labels because they want people to think that their pet foods are safer and healthier for consumption.
Unfortunately, there is no definition for what constitutes "Premium" pet food. Pet food companies do not have to adhere to any standards when producing pet foods. These fancy labels do not guarantee that the pet food they are describing is really better or safer for your pet. Many times these labels are designed with marketing in mind; not your pet's health. This is also true of dog treats that are called all natural dog treats. Many companies claim that they use human grade ingredients with no harmful preservatives. Unless tested at a lab, there really is no way to know what ingredients are in fact used to make these dog treats.
One of the safest and most reliable ways of making sure that your pet is eating healthy is to make their food in the comfort of your own kitchen. This way you have complete control over what ingredients are being put into your dog's food or your dog's treats. Recipes for homemade dog food and homemade dog treats are readily available if you know where to look. There are some really great dog cookbooks full of recipes that will satisfy even the pickiest dogs. Collaborative Tails, Inc. has put out a line of really great pet cookbooks. One of my favorite dog cookbooks is The Collaborative Canine. This book is not just a pet cookbook, it's also a pet profile book. Not only is the book full of great dog recipes but it is also full of photos and stories of some of the cutest pups out there! The recipes range from homemade dog treats to grain free dog food recipes. If you have a dog with food allergies, then this doggie cookbook is a must have.
The Collaborative Canine has an entire section devoted to wheat free dog recipes. Wheat allergies are one of the most common food allergies in dogs and this book is full of great recipes that will ease your dogs discomfort if they suffer from food allergies. Our husky puppies have wheat allergies so we have acquired many pet cookbooks and made a lot of homemade pet food over the past several years. This recipe for Bully Boy's Cheesy Biscuits from The Collaborative Canine is a great wheat free recipe. Our dogs just love these homemade dog treats!

short and a little "oily" to protect the dog from cooler temp water, and the regular longer hair that you see on the coat, and on the floor, and on the rugs, and on the furniture, and on your clothes, and...well, you get the point. Bathing and brushing should be done regularly to control shedding, hair matting, and infestations. And speaking of that...
o Infestations - You are going to want to protect your dog from fleas, ticks, and other creatures like mites. The biggest reason, these creatures have no problem substituting humans for dogs. For the most part, they are after blood, not something only the dog offers. Go cheap, and you will reap the rewards by having carpet, bedding, and furniture infestations. This could create a bigger cost to rid your house of these little monsters. One flea laying eggs in carpet that most vacuums do not pick up can create thousands of fleas in a matter of days.
