The following is replicated in the exact format as my printout...I can't explain why certain things are underline or in caps.
Home Cooked Vegetarian Diet (no cooked meats, potato, soy/tofu, rice, corn, pasta or wheat)
ANY FLAVORED PET SUPPLEMENT (LIKE GLUCOSAMINE OR HEARTWORM PREVENTIVE) HAS TO BE SUBSTITUTED WITH A NON-FLAVORED PRODUCT.
The RATIO of food should be:
* 1 cup
cooked beans (navy, white, Mung) - smash these before mixing with the other ingredients (they are hard to digest!)
* 1 cup
cooked barley, lentil, or millet (if not in the current diet)
* NO MEAT
* 1 cup
cooked vegetables (BUTTERNUT squash, green beans, spinach, etc. - NO starchy vegetables like corn and nothing that is in the current diet)
* A dash of salt and a tablespoon of fresh onion for flavor
* 1 - 2 tsp of olive oil
Feed 1/2 - 1 cup of the mixture a day. The guideline is that your pet should neither gain or lose weight with this diet. Be sure to switch to this diet over a few days so as to avoid soft stool or vomiting. IF HE/SHE IS HUNGRY, FEED HER MORE.
If your pet is on the diet for more than 8 weeks, we will want to add a multiple vitamin (Vitaline Hypoallergenic) daily.
