I feed my Roxy Human Food because I have read so many horrible stories about even some of the better dog foods with the "By Products" and preservatives. True you can't just give them meat or table scraps. I cook separate meals for Roxy- I have found several balanced recipes on line. Mainly she eats a mix of chicken breast, white potatoes, green beans, green peas, carrots and sweet potatoes. Some times I sub ground turkey for the protein and switch up the veggies. I used brown rice for the starch for almost a year- then she seemed to be allergic to it so I switched to the potatoes. Roxy also gets raw carrots and peeled apples as treats sometimes instead of her sweet potatoe and fish formula treats. I also put some fish oil from a gel cap on her food every other day or ground flax seed. She also loves broiled salmon, I just put her a small piece in a different dish without all the spices and lemon I put on mine. Occasionall she gets eggs scramble lightly in olive oil. My vet had no problem with the mixes. She gets a doggie vitamin too. So let's be more specific when we say HUMAN FOOD.  |
What does the way you feed
your dog have to do with the OP and her sick dog? If you would like to discuss the ingredients in your home cooking there is a forum on this board for that purpose. We usually try to stay on topic.
