Actually I have three Questions, and I welcome your ideas....

Some suggest you can make your own dog food (such as rice, chicken and carrots), and I really like that. But I have heard from others that is is better you feed dry kibble (premium). Is there really a “good” and “bad” way in this?

Also, I read her that adding crushed garlic cloves to food can be toxic, and some say it helps to prevent worms. So a little confused.

Is it necessary to use Nutra Cal, or is there a good substitute?
Thanks for your help.
