Adding grape seed extracts can provide antioxidants to the homemade dog food. You can also increase the foods nutritional value by adding fruit juice and fish oil to add vitamin supplements.
Some good fruits are cranberry juice and bananas. Fresh fish and meat used for homemade recipes include quality nutrition without the preservatives.
