What are the benefits of homemade pet food?

Well, for one, you know exactly what's in it because you made it. It isn't highly processed or made in a factory somewhere.

The benefits for pets are that fresh homemade food is more hydrating, contains higher quality ingredients, and doesn't contain fillers that are put into pet food (like ash). Homemade meals, calorie for calorie, are usually much bigger than dried kibble and keeps pets feeling full for longer. Their poop doesn't smell as foul and their breath isn't as smelly.

Many pet owners who've made the switch report fewer allergies, less itchy skin, and fewer vet visits. The world's oldest dog ate a diet of homemade human food. He lived to 31 years old!
