Both are athletes so the crabs are important.
So cooking for a fur kid is no different?? I feed them the basic food groups, use a multi vitamin, use calcium and thats it??? Is Missing link or force a multi? |
Yep, the egg shells are for calcium. And I did mean a good multi-vitamin, sorry for being so muddy. Missing Link is mostly for EFAs (essential fatty acids). The multi I use, however, contains vits, minerals, EFAs, digestive enzymes and probiotics - so it's much easier than doing a bunch of separate supps. This is the one I like:

The weird thing about homecooking is it's not
quite as easy as "the basic food groups", which is why I think people get turned off by it. There are a gazillion opinions - and then I think you have to decide where you land in the midst of all those opinions, that's the hard part. I'm of the belief that dogs don't need grains (they're just filler) and veggies, though somewhat beneficial, are debatable. I also think high protein is just fine, in fact better, as long as the dog isn't liver or kidney or otherwise compromised.
BUT, if you seriously wanted to go for it, I'd be willing to draw up a few recommendations for you - I'd probably want to put it in a word document or something you can print.

MARCELS POOS TURNED FIRM 1.5 DAYS AFTER BEING ON HIS NEW DIET...UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!!! Plus, oddly, his poos don't really smell anymore...neither do Wylie's.
