How to transition my senior dog to a natural homemade diet?

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

Good for you for committing to make Sweetpea's food in order to help manage her food allergies! It can be tricky to assure that home cooked diets for dogs are properly balanced with all necessary vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. I always recommend utilizing recipes formulated by veterinary nutritionists, such as those available on www.balanceit.com. These recipes can be tailored for dogs with food allergies to avoid certain ingredients (or even just use the ingredients currently being used), but will also have the vitamin and mineral supplements available to assure that the diet is balanced. I hope this helps and that all goes well for Sweetpea!

Great question! Check out these two websites below. They are run by veterinary nutritionists, and provide balanced and healthy recipes for homemade diets for dogs: https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com

Yes a well balanced home cooked meal is definitely better than dried, pre-prepped food that has preservatives. You will need to resource an online dog recipe website for specifics on how to get a well balanced diet for Snowie. Here are some websites that should be able to assist you in achieving this. https://secure.balanceit.com/ <- has recipes for certain conditions in pets as well!  https://www.petdiets.com/  And yes you are correct, pets are healthier on an home-cooked diet regimen.

Hi there! I highly recommend the website www.balanceit.com if you want to start a homemade (or partially homemade) diet for Otis. It was designed by a veterinary nutritionist, and will help you formulate a balanced diet for your pet that takes into account his age, body condition, any medical issues he might have, etc. It will also recommend any appropriate additives or supplements, if needed.

I would recommend adding a supplement such as BalenceIT. Their website can walk you though creating a balanced diet using the foods you're already used to cooking for her. It's always important to have a balanced diet, but as she gets older her body will be less able to handle the stress of any imbalances. As far as her weight, I'd recommend decreasing the overall amount rather than cutting out a macronutrient (in this case carbs)

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
