Lamb or veal can be hard to come by...if you can find it, you can also try ground buffalo or venison, cuts of beef (cut very small or ground), or fish like salmon, tilapia, perch, etc. You can also add legumes to their diet for a protein boost-my dogs like kidney beans, split peas, blackeyed peas, and others-and those are really inexpensive too!
I feed each of mine a quick breakfast of 1/2 a hard boiled egg, about 1" of mashed banana, and 1 tablespoon cottage cheese or yogurt. Sometimes I switch it up and give 1 tablespoon oatmeal, with a little applesauce mixed in too.
