 Brown rice or white rice?
We have narrowed Megan's allergies down to potatoes so I've been using rice in their meals instead of potatoes but I have a few questions for those who know.
1. Is it better to use white rice or brown rice in a home cooked dog food recipe?
2. Are sweet potatoes and white potatoes the same in canine nutrition/recipes?
3. I've seen olive oil and vegetable oil used in home cooked recipes but which is better? Megan is sensitive to fish so no fish oil.
4. How much oil is safe to put over each meal? I don't want to cause any problems.
5. Is there a good dog food that doesn't contain potatoes or fish?
The girls went in for a teeth cleaning and ended up with diarhea afterwards so they were on a diet of chicken and rice for a couple of days and Megan stopped itching. So, I started using rice in their food instead of potatoes and she is doing wonderful but I need to know if brown or white is better.
The recipe I use is from the epilepsy angels website (no, she isn't epileptic, it's a complete recipe for dogs so I use it,) it has chicken, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, zucchini and carrots. Is there something else in there that could cause her to itch? |
