I am so happy that Benny actually ate a lot of something and that he got his tummy full. I hope that he continues to eat it until it's finished, then I will make another recipe for him, just to give him something different. I'm going tomorrow to purchase from Multivitamins for him since he won't eat any kibble. This has made my day!  |
I'm a HUGE proponent for feeding homemade and raw...but you should speak with a nutritionist. There's so much research that goes into these meals (i.e., stick with one meat for 2 weeks before introducing something else) and it's not so easy as giving some chicken with a bit of green beans and carrots. You have to make sure it's balanced and know exactly how much to give, when to give it, etc.
And a salesperson at your local pet store will not know the details.
But I'm so glad to hear that he's eating!
