Homemade vs. commercial dog food: What's best for my dog and how much?

If you are cooking for your dogs, the best place to help formulate a good homemade diet is ( www.balanceit.com ). This website was created by a veterinarian in nutrition and will help you formulate the best home cooked diet for your girls. The website is quite easy to use and you can purchase the vitamin / mineral supplement for the food directly from the website. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

It depends entirely on what the caloric content and nutrient content of your food is, and that can vary so widely I can't give you an amount to feed. However, I would recommend that you visit this website for excellent guidance in formulating a homemade diet for you dog, including how much you should feed.

I typically don't recommend it because it's very hard to get the correct balance of nutrients needed. If you do want to feed Rascal a homemade diet, check out these two websites. They are run by veterinary nutritionists, and they provide healthy and balanced homemade diets for dogs. I hope this helps! https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com

Homemade foods are tough because they are almost always deficient in vitamins and minerals without a supplement. It is not impossible, however. I like the website balance it.com. You can set up an account, look for recipes, and they can even analyze the nutrients in your current recipe. The key is a meat+ grain+ fruits and veggies for nutrients. Good luck!

I am so glad to help you! In my opinion, the best choice is a commercial kibble like Royal Canin. Royal Canin does have veterinary nutritionists on staff. I'd also recommend Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Iams. They also have veterinary nutritionists. I personally feed my dog Iams.

Hi there! It's certainly possible to feed Ziva a home-cooked diet if you want to, but it's almost impossible to correctly formulate this yourself without help - especially for a growing puppy. I recommend using a website called balanceit.com, which uses formulas set up by a veterinary nutritionist to help you put together a complete and balanced diet using whatever ingredients you choose.

It's very hard to get the correct balance of nutrients to keep your dog healthy with a homemade diet and instead of trying to do it yourself, I recommend checking out these two websites I will link to below. They are run by veterinary nutritionist and provide recipes for homemade diets that are both healthy and balanced for dogs, providing al the nutrients they need. I would feed Sasha a diet from recipes you find on there. I hope this helps :-) https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
