Home Cooking and Supplements I have two Yorkies, both age 8. My boy has weighed as much as 14 pounds. Before I started cooking for him, he was about 12 pounds. Now he's about 10-11 pounds. He looks better. My girl looks the same with the same activity level. I am a chef and nutritionist, so I am concerned about nutrients. I vary their diet (vegetables and starches) about every 3-4 days. I have heard mixed things about giving them vitamins/supplements. I hear that people food is mostly deficient in calcium and such. I asked the vet, and she said to find a credible blog with credible recipes. If I follow the recipes, it should be sufficient. A vet friend told me to pick up just any dog multi-vitamin. Has anyone done any research about this? I want to make sure I'm taking good care of my dogs. Thanks! :animal-pa |
Many people on here home cook. If your a human nutritionist that is not going to help your dogs you need a vet nutritionist because there needs are much different then human needs. You can really hurt your dog by not doing it right. You can not just pick up a multivitamin for a dog you need a supplement that is recommended for people who home cook. Hopefully some of the people who home cook will see this. |
I use BALANCE IT as recommended by Dr Remillard They have been very accommodating to all the questions I asked. I'm sure there are other supplements as well. |
Welcome to YT! I think it's wonderful that you want to home cook for your dogs! With so many recalls out there, I don't blame you AT ALL! I've never done more than boiled chicken for my girl as a treat, so I'm no help. :) I just wanted to say hello! :wavey: |
Welcome to YT!! I agree, if you can home cook than why not!! Lots of Yter's do so you will get some great advice and info!! That is awesome you are a human nutritionist, Dogs can eat lots of human foods that are just as healthy for them. If you know human nutrition, canine nutrition should be super easy for you to learn ! I'm pretty sure you know the difference between the two, also I highly doubt you would just give your babies a multivitamin and call it good. Good luck in your research!! |
