Nutritionally complete is a phrase that many dog owners here in the United States haven’t considered — and it should be. There are thousands of store-bought pet foods on the market, and most lack the proper balance of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for your pet. Homemade dog food recipes are nutritionally complete to ensure that your furry friend is receiving the best nutrition possible.
Best homemade dog food for pitbulls
Introduction
Dog food is supposed to be a balanced diet for your four-legged friend, but it’s often made with ingredients that can cause health problems, like obesity and allergic reactions. If you’re looking for homemade dog food recipes that are healthy and delicious while also easy to make, look no further than these recipes from Pitbulls Across America founder Pam Walker!
Protein-Rich Meats
Protein is an essential part of a dog’s diet, so you want to make sure that your pitbull is getting plenty of it. The best way to do this is with meat. Meat contains all the essential amino acids and nutrients that your dog needs to be healthy, which means that you don’t have to worry about adding supplements or vitamins into their meals.
There are many different types of protein-rich meats you can use for homemade dog food for your pitbulls: chicken, beef and bison are good choices if you want something leaner; pork or turkey works well if you want something fattier; fish also makes a nice alternative because it doesn’t have any bones (which can be dangerous for dogs).
Healthy Oils
The main reasons to add these healthy oils to your homemade dog food for pit bulls are that they’re a great source of the essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, which are required by all animals and are important for many different bodily functions. Healthy fats help keep your dog’s skin and coat healthy, as well as their heart, brain, immune system, joints and metabolism. One study found that dogs fed diets low in omega-3 fatty acids had an increased risk of developing fatal cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). Omega 3 also helps prevent cancer in humans while preventing inflammation – two things that we definitely don’t want our dogs to suffer from!
Fruits and Veggies
Fruits and vegetables are a great addition to any dog’s diet. They’re high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and low fat. They also give you a chance to be creative with your dog’s food by using different colors of fruits and vegetables for each meal (example: red fruits for breakfast; green veggies for lunch).
As far as which fruits and vegetables to add—that depends on what you have available. My personal preference is carrots because they’re easy to cut up without having to peel them first!
Dairy
Dairy is one of the most common ingredients in homemade dog food recipes. It’s a great source of calcium and protein, as well as fat and vitamins. But some dogs are lactose intolerant, so be sure to test your dog before introducing it into her diet. Dairy can also cause digestive upset if your dog isn’t used to eating it regularly (like humans).
Grains
Grains are a great source of carbohydrates, but they aren’t a good source of protein, fat or vitamins and minerals. The same goes for grains’ lack of fiber.
In addition to being low in protein, a grain-based diet can cause your dog’s coat to become dry and brittle. Grains also contribute to the formation of kidney stones in some dogs.
Raw and Cooked Diets
If you talk to a vet about the best diet for your dog, you will probably hear them say that dogs are carnivores and should eat a high-protein, high-fat, low carbohydrate diet. This is true. However, there are some situations where a raw or cooked diet may be beneficial for your little pup:
- If your dog has a sensitive stomach or is prone to allergies (e.g., food sensitivities) it may cause them issues if food changes suddenly from one day to the next.
- Some people would rather not deal with the messiness of raw meat and prefer to use commercially prepared diets instead of making their own at home all the time!
- There are some dogs who have health conditions that need specific dietary restrictions (e.g., kidney failure). For these dogs it’s important not only which ingredients go into their food but also how much each ingredient makes up in relation to one another so as not overdo any particular nutrient while still getting enough calories overall across different meals throughout each day!
Pitbulls, like all dogs, need a specific diet to be healthy.
Pitbulls need a specific, balanced diet to be healthy. They’re very active and need a lot of energy, which makes them prone to allergies and other health issues. Plus, they have a higher metabolism than other breeds.
Pitbulls require lots of protein: About 40 percent of their total diet should come from lean meat sources like chicken or turkey, along with eggs and dairy products like yogurt or cottage cheese. Dogs also need calcium for strong bones and vitamin C for a strong immune system—both are found in fruits such as oranges or green beans that you can chop up into small pieces before adding them to your homemade dog food recipe. Finally, dogs benefit from fiber-rich foods such as broccoli florets; carrots; apples; whole wheat breads made with brown rice flour instead of white flour; rolled oats (oatmeal) cooked into cereal; barley cooked into soup (barley is good for digestion); anything made out of soybeans (including tofu), nuts such as walnuts or almonds …

Pitbulls are a lot of fun and make great companions, but their nutritional needs can be tricky to meet. Luckily, it’s not too hard if you put in the time and effort.
