We feed our dog a mixture of kibble (1/3 or less) lightly boiled ground beef or sardines or hard boiled eggs. Also we mix in pumpkin, blues berries, apple, watermelon, bananas, carrots, romaine lettuce, peas, and broccoli. It’s deepening on which fruit or vegetables we have on hand. We just started our first bone both batch today. Do you have anything other suggestions on ingredients we should add or change? I’m thinking we want to completely get away from use of any kibble type of food.
It’s great you add fresh foods to the kibble, the more the better! However, you need to remember to ensure their nutrition needs are met. For example, ground meat is low in calcium which is needed for healthy bones so if you’ve reduced the kibble, you’d have to somehow replace calcium with either a raw meaty bone (ribs, wings, necks, etc) or bone meal. The same goes for iodine, zinc, and other ones. So I’d recommend contacting a certified canine nutritionist who’d formulate a recipe for your dog or find recipes formulated by trusted experts, ideally those that’d include the nutrient breakdown. It’s relatively easy to make a complete and balanced meal, so please don’t feel intimidated, but it’s best to research what’s best for your dog (in case they have any health problems). Hope this helps ❤️
