Home cooking I would really appreciate some advice on home-cooking for my two. I'd like to switch over as Rosie is quite a picky eater and many of the dry foods are too big for her and she just refuses to eat wet dog food. Is there a specific ratio of meat to rice/pasta, or there alternatives to these two? They get scrambled egg once a week, just started them with cottage cheese... how often? Introduced sweet potato today as I saw it on another thread, What about normal potatoes? I sprinkle on S.A.37 a couple of times a week, and put a few drops of fish oil and evening primrose oil on each day. They're coats look really good with no scurf or dandruff, should it be some other oil. Any help or advice will be much appreaciated. Many thanks. |
I would suggest you talk to a vet (probably a hollistic) vet because it is my understanding that if you are giving a certain percentage of the food as home cooked you have to have it balanced correctly. You can cause future problems if its not. I looked into it at one time, but it seemed pretty complicated. I do a combination of home cooked and a good kibble, my vet is happy with that combo. I also use supplements in my home cooked food that he has given me. I do about 75% kibble and 25% home cooked. |
Thankyou for your advice, I would say Alfie is on about the same ratio as yours, Rosie is more of a dilema, I continue to put kibble in her food everyday, sometimes ehe'll eat it others she wont. The main aim at the moment its just making sure she continues to eat and keep weight on, so I'll keep working on it. She absolutly loves fruit, particularly strawberries, rasberries, blackberries, banana and apple. Hope none of these are toxic. |
