A culinary formulation involving minced fowl, specifically Meleagris gallopavo, prepared for canine consumption. This type of preparation often involves the inclusion of other ingredients such as vegetables, grains, and supplements to ensure nutritional completeness for the animal. For example, a typical homemade preparation might consist of cooked ground turkey, brown rice, carrots, and a canine-specific vitamin and mineral supplement.
The appeal of this preparation lies in its perceived health benefits and control over ingredient sourcing. Owners may opt for it due to sensitivities or allergies their dogs may exhibit to commercially produced food, or simply as a means of providing a perceived higher quality diet. Historically, homemade diets for canines have gained popularity as awareness of pet nutrition has increased, leading owners to seek alternatives to mass-produced options. This method allows precise adjustment of macronutrient ratios and allergen avoidance.
