Generally dogs needs about 40 calories per pound of body weight daily (can vary though). So you would need to mess around with the carbs to get it just right and since he is smaller than Ellie it might have to be split in half...
1 ounce white meat chicken (boiled..no fat..no skin..no seasonings)
60 grams mixed veggies
88 grams carb
1 tsp. oil
Supplements
Supplements are probably the hardest thing to get right. I use an all-in-one because it is easier for me. For oil I usually use olive or canola. For carbs I use rice or noodles or oatmeal or barley... For veggies you can steam or boil whatever you want (I usually use carrots or green beans or squash...). Then for meat you can use beef (I like lean steak boiled) or maybe turkey as long as your dog doesn't react to it...
There are lots of books on the subject or you could consult an animal nutritionist. |
Thanks! Ill give that a try tomorrow.
