I see that there are lots of recipes for dog food with suggestions for amounts of protein and veg. They seem to suggest that you can mix any protein with any vegetables, you just need to get the quantities correct. I think this is right but the dietitian told me I cannot mix chicken, or other proteins with just any veg. It has to be specific vegetables??!! What do you think? I told him that I wanted to give my dog a selection of vegetables and not stick to the same ones. He said he could not help me with that as it would be 'too complicated and wants me to stick to the ones he gives me. He says to give her chicken, butternut squash and carrots plus BalanceIt - I can give her one egg a week as a treat. My dog is healthy normal dog. I feel that she should have a variety of veg and fruit in small amounts during the week. I have given her during a week a carrot, beans, squash, sweetpotato, put a sprig or two of parsley in her food, a few young spinach leaves, broccilli sprig, 2 slices of pear, a small piece of mango, small piece of melon. Obviously, I don't give them all to her in one day, but I just feel variety is healthy. Am I wrong? How can giving a dog the same three ingredients for the whole of it's life be healthy? I was also making her a health broth and giving her a cube of that a day, which she loved. but he doesn't want me to give her anything other than what he has told me to give her.
