Homemade dog food with fish: tips

Dog food with fish is delicious and healthy for our four-legged friends. As a component of homemade dog food, fish also provides your pet with valuable animal proteins and healthy fatty acids.

If you enjoy cooking, you may have tried your hand at homemade dog food. Fish offers a valuable alternative to meat, should you be in the mood for variety on your four-legged friend’s menu. But before you start cooking large quantities of seafood specialties for your dog, you should try them out to see if your pet likes them at all – not every dog likes the taste.

Homemade dog food with fish: safety first

For dog food with fish, the common varieties that also taste good to humans are suitable, such as salmon, tuna or trout. It is very important that you always feed fish only cooked. What’s also important when you use fish in your dog food: Make sure you remove all bones beforehand – after all, you don’t want your four-legged friend to get seriously injured by your lovingly prepared meal. Bones act like small needles and can lead to internal injuries if they are swallowed.

Recipe idea with fish: fish cakes for the dog

Fish cakes are suitable as a starter dish for homemade dog food with fish. For this you will need a pound of pollock fillet, a cup of milk, two wheat buns and a banana. Let the buns soak in the milk for a while and mash the banana with a fork. Then cook the pollock fillet in a little water and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Once the fish is cooked, chop it up and mix the pieces with the banana puree and the softened roll. Then form bite-sized meatballs from the pulp, which you can easily feed to your four-legged friend.

Rice and fish – also a good combination for dogs

Mix about 250 grams of cooked fish fillet with equal parts of cooked rice and half a liter of water. For the extra portion of vegetables, you can add a piece of celeriac and two carrots. Make sure that you serve the dog meal only when it has cooled down and your furry nose can no longer burn itself.

Dalmatians: nature and character of the beautiful dogs Clever, fun-loving and very active: Dalmatians charm not only with their pretty appearance, but also with their lively and affectionate nature. Who wants to acquire a dog of this breed, but should first think carefully whether the character of the four-legged friend really suits him. In order to find out, you should inquire well about the nature and the optimal keeping conditions of a Dalmatian before the acquisition. Of course, each Dalmatian is individual, but you will find the characteristics discussed below in many representatives of this dog breed. Dalmatians: Lively dogs that need clear rules A well-behaved, sweetly treated and well-used Dalmatian has a happy, playful and affectionate nature. He is a smart, adaptable family dog who needs lots of love and is sensitive to pressure and stress: Anyone who meets the Dalmatian with too harsh or unfair dog training will most likely get to know him from his stubborn side. Praise, on the other hand, will achieve much more with him, so positive reinforcement is the best training method for him. Despite their sensitivity, Dalmatians are definitely self-confident dogs with strong characters that can become stubborn if you don't take the lead. It is important that you don't use an authoritarian style of leadership and definitely don't try aversive training methods on your dog. Instead, you can use clear instructions, consistency and patience to ensure that your Dalmatian follows you of his own accord. If you use clear commands and regular training to ensure that your four-legged friend understands what you want him to do, but at the same time treat him lovingly, he will voluntarily follow you. Nervous nature? Prejudices against Dalmatians For a while there was a rumor that Dalmatians were nervous and even aggressive in character. This was due to the fact that the dog breed with the black dots experienced a boom as a result of the Disney cartoon "101 Dalmatians" in the 1970s. Unscrupulous breeders and inexperienced breeders followed the trend and bred the dogs without paying attention to their mental well-being and decent socialization from puppy paws. If dogs do not grow up in a safe environment from birth and get to know other people, conspecifics and other animals as well as everyday noises at an early age, they are particularly skittish later on. Some then compensate their fearfulness and nervousness with aggression. However, this has nothing to do with the breed, but with a lack of socialization and education. History of the dog breed and importance for its character Dalmatians are a very old dog breed and it has not been handed down beyond doubt what their original purpose was. However, they later proved their worth in Great Britain and the USA as companion dogs of horse carriages. In the USA they were frequent companions of the fire department when their carriages were still pulled by horses. By their barking they drew attention to the arrival of the fire department, so they were a kind of siren on four paws. They also guarded the carriages and kept stray dogs away. It is also believed that Dalmatians acted as guard dogs on farms, chasing away pests from the farm. For its nature, this means that mainly character traits such as alertness, intelligence and attention, as well as versatility were taken into account in breeding. In addition, the dogs are physically enduring and capable of making independent decisions when needed. At the same time, however, they feel very comfortable in the company of people and help their two-legged partner with great pleasure. The Dalmatian and its nature: Occupation is important The Dalmatian is very lively, which he shows only outside, if he is properly exercised. He loves to run and does this with a lot of endurance. Occupation for the little head is a must for the intelligent dog. The four-legged friend feels best in a family where there is a lot going on. He also gets along with children, as long as they do not tease him or treat him as a toy. As a city dog or animal that is constantly alone or mentally and physically underchallenged, he would not only become unhappy, but could also develop behavioral problems. So overall, the Dalmatian is an advanced dog that needs an owner who is well versed in the breed and its characteristics! Dog sports for the Dalmatian In order for your Dalmatian to really let off steam, it is recommended that you engage in regular dog sports with him. Dog dancing, for example, is both mentally and physically a great activity for the pretty spotted bearer. But agility and obedience training also come into question.
