Homemade Dog Foods

my dog has allergies and i read making her home made dog food could help anyone know of any? she a pit bull

we can bring our own food to the reception and i like my dad’s cooking more than anybody so here is the list (we are black if that helps lol)

1. Juice
2. Homemade Mac n Cheese (not the box kind lol)
3. Grilled Hot Dogs
4. Grilled Burgers
5. Potato Salad
6. Fried Chicken
7. Potato Chips
8. Sodas

14. Alcohol for the ppl. who drink lol

we will have ketchup and other like that any thing else i need

also if my fiancee rents a tux does that have to be altered
thanks yall but i forgot to add the lettuce,

i might not have the stakes

we’ll have green beans,

the chips are for people who like it with their burgers and hot dogs, t

he fruit tray would include strawberries, grapes, watermelon, ect.

the vegetable tray would include celery sticks, carrot sticks and what other type do yall think…and i will have different salad dresses
it will be set up buffet style that way they can have what they want

I want to change due to the recent recall of one commercial raw food diet and also other pet foods that contain ingredients from China and other substances which make them unsafe. I want to be able to put together a diet in my Kitchen, knowing what ingredients I put in it. I don’t mind adding veggies and fruit either, doesn’t bother me and I know the added vitamins are good.
Should I be adding a multi vitamin and mineral and fish oil supplement also? I really don’t want to risk my dog not getting all the nutrients he needs.

Thanks!

What’s the best way to switch them from store bought dog food to a home made diet?

Does anyone have any recipes and/or websites they can share?

Also, did you notice an improvement in your dog’s health?

Also, my two Labs who love to eat. And we got our older Lab from a family who didn’t take care of him, so he weighed 120 pounds at 8 months, so he’s prone to packing on the weight now. So does anyone have any suggestions on the serving size my boys should get?

In doing my research I was told to speak to the vet about switching my dogs but when I spoke to the vet (I spoke to several vets actually) they told me not to switch them, to keep using the store bought food. However I feel the store brands are full of fillers and nothing healthy. And the brands that are decent I can’t even get where we live, and I don’t read Japanese so I don’t know what the local dog food is like.
I just would like to add that I live on one of Japan’s islands and they will not ship dog food to me.

Also, at this time feeding my dogs raw isn’t an option, we’re looking into it but until we can work something out we are not able to do raw, which is why, for now, we’re doing the homemade meals.

Hey!

I don’t know whether to buy the prescription food from the vet or just cook my dog homemade meals.. I’m worried she won’t be getting adequate vitamins or whatever. Does anyone have any recipes suitable for a dog with chronic pancreatitis?

Thanks!

I have two 18 month old chihuahuas. They got sick ( runny doo doo ) The vet suggested a temporary diet where I cook for them. bland mashed chicken and rice, then switch back. Switching back made them sick again. They are doing okay now with the homemade food.

After looking at the ingredients in a lot of dog food brands, I have decided I don’t want to buy pre-made food anymore.

Can you suggest a cook book for dogs?
Yes I will verify with my vet.

I’d like to cook food for my dogs. Do you have any recipe of a homemade food that your dog likes to eat?

I’ve taken in a lot of rats in need of a home. I currently have 23. As you can imagine, food can be quite expensive. They don’t even like half the crap in the the store bought bags. I’ve heard you can give them dog or cat food.

What kind of dog/cat food is best?
What else do I use for my homemade mix?

I know there are a lot of rattie lovers on here! What do you guys use?

There will be kids there ages ranging from 12-15. I’m 13 though. There will be my parents there semi-supervising.
So, this is "the plan."
