You should probably give him more of a varitey of meat.. i just went to the grocery store yesterday and bought Layla some ground lamb, ground veal and ground extra lean beef. And veggies are VERY important... but they need to be raw and kinda ground up... carrots are very important and you can add other veggies like broccoli, cauliflour, celery.... and if you are going to give him a grain (not needed but you can) try to not give him white rice.. it has very little nutritional value but brown rice is great or potaote, or sweet potatoe  and if you decdied to homecook for a while.. i suggest that after 6 months you go to the vet to get a blood panel just to make sure he is not lacing in a certain nutrient! good luck! homecooking is great |
Thank you. I was thinking of other meats as well. I'm on a limited budget, so lamb or veal would be a rarity. But that would get me to eat some too which I love both. And rice is a good inexpensive grain, white or brown. I know flour is not so great for them. Why do the veggies need to be raw? Is it bad for them to eat them cooked? Mostly I buy frozen veggies and I know they are somewhat pre-cooked. I like the idea of cooking for him, I am a cook without someone else to appreciate my efforts!
And he certainly does appreciate it.
