That's the easy part.
The tricky part is the calcium/phosphorus ratio. I think you either have to follow a recipe that specifies which supplements to add or consult a nutritionist.
I have diet for liver compromised dogs (Lady has liver damage from years of seizure medications). I follow it to a "T"! 
1 cup raw rice
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 egg
1 cup diced poultry
1 T canola oil
1 tsp bone meal
1 tsp salt substitute
This diet contains 19 grams of protein. |
This is what confuses me...all these recipes that say give one multi vit a day or so much per pound. Supplements (if we are following AAFCO) are supposed to be given in proportion to the amount of food given. It really doesn't have anything to do with the weight of the dog. I only follow AAFCO because that is the best that we have right now. So I just leave the whole supplementation thing alone and tell people to get a nutritionist.
That isn't to say that it can't be done per pound of dog but with processed dog food, it is done by the weight of the food or something like that...
