Hi,
I feed home cooking and love it. Dog's digestive tracks are just like yours and mine---I have a pack of 4 dogs--a labradoodle--almost a year, 2 chi mixes and Dash--my little 4 year old yorkie. Following the canine food pyramid will help you---protein is on the bottom--then veggies, then fruit--and grains are at the top. Remember that dogs get their energy from the fat in the protein so they don't need many carbs. A meal for my yorkie might consist of 2 tablespoons of chicken---today he had fish--browned in olive oil--very good for dogs----some green beans---and a couple of slices of apple. He loves the variety--I feed 3x daily as small dogs need to eat more often. Never been a fan of supplements as one has to be so careful---just feed balanced. Once a week we have some dairy--but use sparingly--I use with cottage cheese---or plain yogurt. The yogurt is wonderful for their digestive tracts--and also cuts down on any gas. |
