Homemade vs. Store-Bought Pet Foods and Treats: Pros and Cons

Being pet parents of such adorable little beings, one of the crucial decisions of our lives revolves around the food requirements of our bubs. There is no way we would settle for anything less than the best and most nutritious diet plan for our pets. Depending on our resources, requirements, notion of health benefits, and time on our hands to spare for our pets, we choose between homemade and store-bought foods and treats. 

While we try our best to offer food that we believe is the best in terms of required nutrients and make an informed decision after learning about the ingredients and nutrients the food offers, we often get stuck when it comes to choosing between homemade food and treats and store-bought ones. Each of these choices has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. In this blog, we have tried to compile all the information that you need to be aware of before carefully choosing your cherished companion as per your suitability. 


The Case for Homemade Dog Foods, Cat Foods, and Treats

Homemade Pet Food

Cooking food for the pet seems like a better idea to some pet parents, as they are convinced that these are filled with more nutrition as compared to packaged store food. Plus, this enables you to offer fresh food to your pets and you can also give them more variety of food with different tastes. This ensures that your pet is not bored of eating food of the same flavour. Given below are some of the benefits and complications related to homemade pet foods


Pros of Homemade Dog Foods and Treats

  • Gives You a Choice of Ingredients:

One of the most significant plus points of offering homemade dog food or cat food is that it gives you control over what ingredients to use and the quality you incorporate. You can handpick high-quality, organic, and locally sourced components, ensuring your pet’s dietary needs are met.

  • Ability to Customize:

Preparing homemade food or treats for your pet offers the flexibility to tailor recipes to suit your dog’s preferences and dietary restrictions, if any. You can personally customize the food or treat such that it is what your pet loves and at the same time, is safe for them, devoid of any ingredient that they might be allergic to.
