Hi Everyone,
We're just new here. Does anyone know if the 100% natural dog food recipie that is listed on this site , is OK to give to 3 month old puppies??
My vet just wanted me to check it out as he wondered about the calcium and phospherous in it. I have made some up and the dog just loved it. But maybe its only ok for Adult dogs??
It certainly seems to have a lot of good stuff in it.
Can you post a link to what diet you're talking about? There's so many talked about on here that it's hard to be sure which one you're talking about.
Thanks.
I just glanced at it and noticed raisins which aren't good for dogs. It's also missing amounts for bone meal, kelp and vit. C and those amounts (especially for the first two) are very important. I also don't like the molasses or the honey--not necessary. And dogs have more difficulty digesting grains so you have to add twice as much water and cook for twice as long to help break them down. Finally, the veggies should be pureed and mixed in raw, not cooked. I rotate veggies when I cook for them and sometimes use sweet potatoes (pureed) instead of grains.
That would be great if you could.
my email [email protected] will remind you though LOL
thanks
yes we're from "down under" plenty of sheep and cows !
Will check out that recipe..just about to go to town
I've raised two puppies to adulthood (and they are the picture of health) on a BARF-style raw diet of ordinary meat/bones from the grocery store. Chicken, turkey, pork, fish, lamb, rabbit, etc. Many others here have as well.
A "natural" canine diet can be as simple (or as complicated) as you want to make it--but it's certainly possible to do it without a lot of cooked grains, vegetables, sweeteners, etc.
There's a BARF/Raw forum on this board with lots of info, if you're interested in exploring that style of feeding.
I see there was a similar post a week or so ago, but wasn't sure if it was appropriate to piggy-back off of that one. So I started a new post.

My puppy is now 9 months old and I believe he has a food allergy to something as he has stools which range from loose to completely liquid depending on what he's eaten. The vet prescribed Royal Canin HP dog food which he has been on while I try to figure out what causes the diarrhea and he seems...
Nothing like the second post being about an upset stomach. Ever since I brought home my 4 month old pup he’s had loose stools, sometimes distinctive shapes, other times more of just mush. Last night he had a pretty significant episode of Diarrhea. The breeder had him on a mixture of Victor Nutro...
Hi, i have a male gsd puppy (5mo), his weight currently about 28lbs, and i feed him 450gr of dryfood and minced cooked chicken everyday ( i mixed it ). Is that the right amount of food for puppy at his age? I’ll put some of his pic
Just got my new GSD puppy. She’s 10 weeks old today. The breeder started her on Blue Buffalo Freedom large breed puppy which she loves, can’t get enough of it. I don’t care how much her food costs as long as she is on a premium food that will promote the best health possible. Her vet does not...
