We're going to stick with the home cooked turkey and oatmeal. I always thought home cooking would be a pain in the neck, but I make a batch on the weekend, put them in baggies, into the freezer, and he's set for the week. Ally173 has been great about sharing her experiences with IBD. It helps having someone who has been there.
Today is better than yesterday, and I hope tomorrow will be better than today. : ) |
The only time I have done home cooking is when I have had a really sick pup that there was no rx diet for. I do know people who home cook. The only thing I have to offer is that if you continue to do home cooking, you do a consult with a nutritionist. There are supplements that must be added. I know that some people on YT do this, and some go with nutritionists who are not certified which is entirely up to the indidual. Personally, I only use board certified vet nutritionists. There is one at Texas A& M and there are others.
Good luck..I am glad your pupster is doing better!
