Pet food is not regulated in the same way that human food is, therefore many of the grocery store and cheap foods have ingredients that are deemed unsuitable for human consumption. Ingredients such as meat by products include what is called the 3 D's. These are dead, dying and diseased animals these by products also include nails, beaks and even euthanized animals.

The raw diet for dogs is another way to make your own dog food. Fresh raw meats and vegetables have all of the nutrition intact. Your dogs digestive tract can easily handle most raw meats and many people have had terrific results feeding a diet that consists of raw meats and vegetables. One consideration for people feeding a raw diet is that even though your dog can handle these raw meats people can not.
