Is my dog's homemade diet safe? Are these ingredients okay for him?

The best option for feeding homemade food is to have a diet formulated by a veterinary nutritionist. This is important, because if Nala does not get adequate nutrients, then she can develop nutritional disorders. I usually recommend feeding the formulated dog food that you can buy at the pet store. These have all the nutrients and there would no need to add any supplements. Unfortunately, we cannot formulate a homemade diet for your dogs through this service, but I put a link below to a veterinary nutritionist who can do this for you. What I can say is that variety is good when formulating a homemade diet. It's definitely good to feed the ingredients you have suggested as part of the diet, but you will likely need other nutritional sources in the diet to make up some deficiencies. There are some foods you want to avoid like garlic and onion. It is also not recommended to feed raw food, as this will increase the risk of getting infectious diseases and parasites for you and your dog. Below is also a link to a list of toxic foods and more information about homemade diets. https://www.petcoach.co/article/10-common-foods-that-are-toxic-to-dogs-and-cats/ https://petdiets.com/Ask-the-Nutritionist http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/2016/07/should-you-make-your-own-pet-food-at-home/ I hope that helps and all is well with Nala.

I would consult a veterinary nutritionist, but I don't know that there are any where you are located. Another good option is the website balanceit.com. They will help you formulate balanced recipes and I believe there is a free option as well.

Hello. By homely, do you mean a homemade diet? If so, it is very difficult to prepare a diet that has all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids & proper balance of protein, carbohydrates & fats that meets a dogs nutritional needs. Royal Canin is an excellent food, so I would really try to maintain this. If you truly want to do a homemade diet, then I encourage you to visit this site that will help you to develop a nutritionally sound diet plan. Thanks for using PetCoach. https://securebalanceit.com/

I'm going to give you two websites that have recipes for homemade diets for dogs. They are run by veterinary nutritionists, so you are guaranteed they are balanced and no need to add any supplements. I hope this helps! https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com

Homemade diets are usually unbalanced and lacking in appropriate amounts of nutrients. When diets found online were tested, 97% were found to be incomplete and this can cause adverse health effects long term. If you want to make a home made diet for Brinkley, you need to work with a board certified veterinary nutritionist. Many of these vets offer remote consultations but your own vet may have a recommendation. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi there. No, this is not okay - Rio needs to be on a nutritionally complete and balanced diet designed for dogs. What you are describing is not healthy for him, and puts him at risk of developing a variety of different health problems due to nutritional imbalances and deficiencies. I would recommend feeding a good quality commercial dog food from a reputable company such as Purina, Hills, or Royal Canin. If you prefer to cook for your dog at home, that's fine - but it needs to be a diet formulated to meet his nutritional needs, not something you make up yourself. In that case, you can use the website www.balanceit.com to put together appropriate recipes using ingredients of your choosing, or consult with a veterinary nutritionist about formulating a custom diet for him.
