Any suggestions for a basic homemade dog food with all neccessary nutrients?
I want to start my dog, Story, on homemade dog food because she has a sensitive stomach. Lab/bull dog mix. She has been responding well thus far. White rice, chicken, carrots, cottage cheese, egg, and crushed egg shells. 40% meat and 30% carb and 30% vegetable. Her poop is no long runny. I just want a simple cut and dry recipie that I can switch out a few items for variety bi-weekly. I want to make sure she's getting proper nutrients and even if I have to give her suppliments; any suggestions. There are so many recipies that vary with ingredients like flax seed and cornmeal and oatmeal and other items. A list of different basic veggies, meats, and grain would be great. Nothing fancy. Thanks in advance. Serious responses only please.
I feed raw, but one of my dogs doesn't like raw so I have to do homemade with him.
Here's our recipe:
1/3 oatmeal
1/2 meat
1/6 veggies
an egg
canned Jack Mackerel/Sardines
+ yogurt/supplements and maybe a couple organs (liver, hearts, gizzards)
The key to homemade diets is variety. Use turkey, beef, rabbit, pork, whatever meat you can find. Heck, I know some dogs who eat kangaroo and bison! Use varying types of veggies, like bok choy, kale, chinese cabbage, carrots, peas, alfalfa, etc. Whatever veggies you eat, save a little for your dog (as long as it's not poisonous like avocado). It's nice to have a basic recipe, but as long as you have a wide variety, your dog's diet will be "balanced over time".
