Giving Your Dog The Best In Havanese Nutrition
August 9, 2008
Maintaining proper Havanese nutrition is a vital part of owning one of these special little dogs. Their predisposition to certain genetic defects and health conditions makes it even more important to maintain the absolute best diet possible for your Havanese. Although there are several schools of thought as to what type of diet is best to feed a Havanese, everyone agrees that there is no substitute for the proper balance between meats, vegetables, and grains.
One of the most popular types of diet for the Havanese is the raw food diet. Due to the recent health scares that many dog owners faced when they learned that many commercial dog foods had become contaminated it almost makes more certain sense that a raw food diet prepared in your own kitchen is far more preferable than taking the chance that your Havanese nutrition may be compromised by tainted food. It is this diet that we want to focus on here.
Maintaining proper Havanese nutrition doesn’t have to be an expensive affair, either. You can purchase ready prepared raw food mixtures from many boutiques and veterinary supply stores, but it is much cheaper to prepare it yourself.
Due to that fact that the Havanese is such a small breed, it does not take much of this raw food mixture to make certain that you are giving your dog the very best in Havanese nutrition. About a cup of raw dog food each day is all that is necessary for most Havanese dogs. Some dogs may require more, and some less.
Proper Havanese nutrition requires a healthy balance of all essential vitamins and nutrients. You can get this by mixing equal portions of ground raw meats, such as lamb and beef, together with ground raw vegetables, such as carrots. Most people will generally recommend that you use cooked, long grain rice as a binder. If you choose to do so, be sure that the rice is completely cooked prior to mixing it with the meat and vegetables.
One of the most important parts of Havanese nutrition is remembering to not overfeed your dog, as they can quickly become sick with digestive problems.
With so many different concerns that many dog owners have had to face with the commercial food that is available, wouldn’t it be nice to know that your Havanese is getting the very best in nutrition possible?
Making your own dog food for your Havanese is the best way to ensure that your dog is getting all of the vitamins and nutrients that they need and to help give you the peace of mind that your dog’s food is safe and healthy.
