| Grainless homecooking I am homecooking for my yorkie and golden. I think my golden has allergy issues as she is a constant licker of her her feet. I thought when we swiched from kibble to homecooking it might get better but for a while it got worse. So now I have stopped using grains in thier food and it has gotten better. BUT... Now my question is...does anyone feed grainless homecooked meals. If so can you please help me out on what to use as base for thier food? Right now I am using potatoes, sweet potatoes and veggies and then mix in whatever meat we will use for the day. I just keep wondering if it's ok to feed so many potatoes day after day. Kim

| My Yorkie is on a special diet for her liver. Her food is low protein and homemade. The grain source in her food is non-existant right now unless you count potato and sweet potato.

Layla gets a cooked meat and some veggies.. that's it... if we are eating some potatoe for supper i'll give her some of that because she likes it so much... but otherwsei she doens't get any grains/ carbs at all. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I do grainless homecooking - I think grains are just too irritating for our little guys. I use white or sweet potatoes, steamed/pureed green beans or zucchini and white fish. I'll soon be adding salmon as well. Nothing wrong w/ giving potatoes all the time....just think of how much better it is than giving PROCESSED (kibble) potatoes all the time. Potatoes are a nice, clean, simple carb - so it's easy on their system.
