When Zoey was sick, it was quite time intensive to cook for her separately from my other two dogs. Just remember that the big dogs eat about 2lbs of food a day each  |
They are different because the needs are. So you really do have to do them separately. Some of the ingredients are the same...some different. My Cookie is on Tilapia but it was not an option for my young healthy pups ( I think because of fat but I don't know???) . I am not really good with nutrition...that is why I rely on the vet nutritionists. Even if I did feel more knowledgable about it, I would still rely on their expertise.
It really is time consuming, but omg my Cookie is doing SO well.. I also home cooked a few years ago for my Cody who was in the end stages of renal failure. He did well on that diet.
My pups all vary in weights...and it is so hard for me to regulate the amount of kibble. I have found that with Cookie's diet, she stays right around the same weight. It's awesome! That is part of the reason I want to cook for the others...I will know exactly how much they need to maintain their ideal body weight.
Oh...but yeah...your pups are HUGE. hahhaha Lots of work there.
