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  |
Gail, I know you addressed Linda, but I wanted to answer also. For my boys, I typically do chicken and butternut squash. Sweet potatoes were my staple until recently. I add veggies to the mix. My Daisy also has the squash, and some veggies (she can't tolerate carrots), and she has chick peas in her diet. All have oils - usually omega 3s, although this represents a departure from the diet as written. My female also has omega 3s.
I sometimes change up meat. Last night, I gave two of the boys salmon rather than chicken. I also change for turkey. I don't vary all that much, but there is room for variation.
These are generic diets Dr. R made up while she was in Boston, and they may be of interest to you to take a look at. In fact, maybe they will work for your crowd without needing a consult etc. There is a cat recipe as well.
