In 2003, a study conducted by J.S.J Odendaal showed that when humans pet dogs, their body releases a hormone, oxytocin, which is associated with happiness and bonding, and affection. Owning a pet gives us great joy but requires a critical life skill as well, which is to know how to take responsibility. Pets require multiple things such as food, water, and love, and to ensure their healthy long, happy life, they need to be provided with good food. The reason is that tons of recipes are surfacing nowadays toguide other newbie pet owners to prepare food with ease.
1.DIY homemade dog food
This recipe is a healthy homemade alternative to processed dog foods and relatively easy to make.
