I can't quite get my mind around raw meat so I have been giving her, several times a day because she is hungry, brown rice, ground turkey (cooked), shredded carrots and snap peas. She likes it ok but I'm worried she's not getting enough. I've only had big, mixed breed dogs that eat anything and I'm a little frightened of my new precious baby. Please help.
There is a health & diet forum that might help you out. There are a lot of threads on both raw diets and homecooking. There are many members that do both and can offer you a lot of advice. If you want to homecook, I just suggest finding recipes that you know are balanced and healthy for your dog (either from a nutritionist or someone who has been homecooking for a while) You most likely need to be adding a good supplement with the diet you are feeding. Good Luck and welcome to YT!
