Is your dog experiencing ear infections, skin irritations, cysts, and other unpleasant health issues? People have been cooking meals for their dogs and swear home cooked meals have solved many of these problems. A while back someone asked me about dogs ears having a foul odor. Well, for the last ten years and still continuing. Our family cocker spaniel, Brandy, has also had his ears medicated off and on for chromic ear infections. Many people stand by the fact that home cooked meals for their dogs has helped very much to lessen or remove ear infections. Yes, he has had his ears cleaned and deep cleaned by the vet and all of the above have relieved the symptoms, but none have cured his ear infections.

Prepare raw meat the same way you prepare for your family. Work with fresh meat, clean utensils, clean cutting board, and keep doggies dishes clean. I cut meat at one time and portion into serving sizes and freeze what is not being used for the day. There are excellent home cooked recipes which can be found in many books, pet trade magazines, and Online.

There is a new garden mulch product which contains Theo bromine. The mulch product supposedly retards cats from entering your garden and dogs are said not to eat it. It has been discovered dogs are dying from this mulch. The poster indicated that death can occur within a few hours or about eighteen hours after ingestion.
