I never went back to dog food. I got a couple of good recipes (protein, carbs
and veggies basically) and that's it.
I'm also looking for supplements now. I have to look up what you guys have suggested. I give them chondroiton every few days and omega oil treats. I think they need more omegas and I don't know what else yet.
I'm so pleased with how easy it is to cook for them and I know what they're getting. |
The most important thing to supplement is calcium. Dogs have to have it or their body will start taking it from their bones....no good. Calcium is best balanced with phosphorus. It doesn't work without vitamin D but that is best found in certain foods.
