Is it safe to feed my puppy boiled chicken, mutton, or fish?

The best to feed Charlie is a complete puppy food for large dogs. This would give him all the nutrients he needs to develop properly. Boiled mutton liver mix may be ok here and there but is not a proper dog food.

You could add some meat or chicken to your puppies dog food but your puppy needs to have some dog food because it is nutritionally balanced for a puppy. Feeding just meat/ chicken and rice is not recommended because your puppy would not be getting the proper nutrition. If you want to use a home made recipe than you should use the website called balance it to make the diet nutritionally balanced for a growing puppy. https://secure.balanceit.com/

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No, it is not recommended to feed dogs any raw meat at all as this can contain high bacterial loads which can result in gastroenteritis and infections. Good luck! He is adorable!

Hello, and thanks for your question. All of these ingredients are safe for your dogs, but they are likely not "completely and balanced" and may not meet all of the nutritional needs of your dogs, especially the growing pups. I recommend feeding a high quality dog food, such as Purina, Science Diet, Hills, or Royal Canin. If these foods aren't available in your area and you need to provide homemade food, here's a helpful website to make sure their needs are met: https://www.balanceit.com Hope this helps!

Yes, you can feed your dog fish. You should cook it, though. Do not feed only fish, as it may cause some metabolic problems and can cause thiamine and vitamin E deficiencies. Fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which dogs need to stay healthy. But you can give fish twice a week as part of a commercial dog food diet.

Trusty can of course eat dry food! Sometimes if they seem uninterested you can add a little warm water to soften the food but this most likely is not needed. I would recommend sticking with a basic hard puppy food and not mixing in human foods. Giving human food to dogs is a hard habit to break the earlier you start it. IF Trusty is on a well rounded dog food she should not need supplementation. Hope that helps

It is difficult to make and feed a balanced home made diet. More often that not, the dog will develop a nutritional deficiency. This is especially true for puppies. Ideally, Murphy should be fed a good quality commercial puppy diet. Brands include ProPlan, Orijen, Canidae and Acana.
