Hello! I was wanting to post to ask about my recent dog food recipe? - 1 10lb bag of chicken leg quarters (deboned and skinned. Boiled) -1 tub of chicken livers (the Tyson tub 1.25lbs. Boiled) - I bundle of Kale (boiled) - 1 1/2 sweet potatoes (diced and boiled) - 1 1/2 cup brown rice - 2 gala apple (skinned and diced) - 2 Great Value mixed vegetables (12oz steam bag with carrots, corn, green beans and peas) - 1 cup blueberries Now, I do puree the chicken before mixing everything in. I also mix in some Dr. Harvey’s multivitamin and mineral with some salmon oil and a quail egg, with the shell! As well as having him on Hill Science Diet for Seniors! He is a 7 year old Chihuahua! submitted by /u/Muted_Ad_8703 to r/HomemadeDogFood [link] [comments]

My fur baby is 11 yo with Cushing’s. It seems like she’s been sleeping way more. She seems less energetic and doesn’t eat as much as she used to 😩 (she gets hills science diet sensitive stomach and skin dry food) Do senior dogs need a special diet? Just wondering. submitted by /u/ResponsePleasant7145 to r/schnauzers [link] [comments]

TL;DR: My 1-year-old male Labrador (English show line) isn’t as excited about his food as he used to. Healthy, active, not overweight. Switched between Diamond Naturals and Member’s Mark lamb & rice. Any food suggestions or insight on why he’s eating slower/picky? Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice or recommendations on dog food for my lab. I have a 1-year-old male Labrador (English show line). Lately, he hasn’t been as eager to eat his food. He’s usually very food-motivated—he even tries to eat inedible things sometimes. Some background on his diet: • His breeder fed him Diamond Naturals Lamb & Rice formula (large breed puppy). • I continued that for about a month after getting him, then switched to Member’s Mark Lamb & Rice (all life stages). • He did really well on the Member’s Mark food. But for convenience with auto-ship from Chewy, we switched back to Diamond Naturals. He ate Diamond Naturals without issues for about two months, but now he’s less enthusiastic. I’ve had to mix his food with a bit of peanut butter or a cooked egg to get him to eat. Once he does start eating, he finishes the bowl, but he doesn’t eat as quickly or happily as he used to. Because this is my first Labrador (I’ve had other dogs but never a lab), I’m wondering: 1. Could this be normal due to age? (Maybe he’s just less excited about food now.) 2. Is he being picky because he’s been offered peanut butter or eggs? 3. Could the food itself be the issue? If it’s the food, what do other people feed their labs? I’ve heard mixed or bad reviews about Purina, Pedigree, Blue Buffalo, Hill’s Science, Royal Canin, and Taste of the Wild, so I’d like to avoid those if possible. Some extra info: • He’s a bigger boy but not overweight. • He gets plenty of exercise. • His behavior hasn’t changed, he’s lively, playful, and happy, with no signs of illness. Also, here’s a pic of Jefe for tax 🐾 Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated! submitted by /u/NootNootFarms to r/labrador [link] [comments]

So I have three dogs- 1 chiweenie, 1 Chihuahua and 1 Coonhound. I have been trying to do research but there is so much back and forth information idk what to believe. At first I was feeding my dogs Hills Science Diet, but the coonhound only ate like 2-3 a week because she just didn’t like the food. I started farmers dog and did half Hills and Half farmers dog- which seemed to work pretty well. They really liked FD so I’ve been doing FD, but my Coonhound has watery poops, and apparently FD has high fat content. I looked into JFFD, but it also isn’t backed by too much research. Apparently Royal Canin is goood, but there’s so many additives. Should I look into feeding raw? I just want the healthiest food option for my dogs. I don’t want bad additives and fake food, but I want them to get all nutrients but also enjoy their food. Any suggestions?? submitted by /u/Commercial-oreo7502 to r/DogFood [link] [comments]

Dear devoted pet parents, My 18 month old small mix breed was perfectly perfect in every way until she was fed a grain free diet along with homemade food. I got her at 3 months of age. edit: She started the GF and homemade at 12 months of age. So I reality it was 5-6 months of grain free and homemade food before her diagnosis. I made the choice to feed her these out of love and naviety. I honestly bought the marketing that grain free was a less inflammatory, less allergenic, and overall a more natural option. I saw this food as an option, nothing fringe or risky. I looked at the grain free dog food bag and saw steak, potatoes, peas, blueberries, and thought “geez this is something I would eat,“ so of course I want to give it to my dog, she is family. I was also feeding her homemade steak, eggs and split peas. All out of love. Before giving her split peas, I looked up “are peas good for dogs?” and I read, yes in moderation. So I regrettable gave them to her in moderation. Not daily, but the steak and eggs were daily. The homemade food we added later, it did not begin when I first got her. Edit: After conversation with my family, we now remember that we had fed the dog Hills Science diet puppy small dog for the first 12 months we had her. My mind was a bit overwhelmed upon her diagnosis, but I am glad this was remembered. So in reality its is after 5-6 months of eating grain free and later homemade food that my sweet baby went from having no heart murmur and zero health issues, to recently being diagnosed with a “really bad” heart murmur, enlarged heart and very likely dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) She was referred to a cardiologist several hours away. The appointment is in three weeks. I wish I would have been told of the risks of making home made food and the risks of grain free food. Especially as a lay person really has to search deep to find out that there are risks to these diets. It’s not common knowledge, at least to me. When I learned of the heart risks of what i had been feeding her, I brought her in for a check up to rule out damage done. During this vet visit, I was told that she has a ”really bad” heart murmur and an enlarged heart and very likely dilated cardiomyopathy. I knew immediately that I caused the heart disease by what I had been feeding her. When I asked the vet if this new diagnosis was caused by diet, she assured me no. When I told her what I had recently learned about the link of diet to these heart issues, she said she would look it up and left the room. I could then hear the vet and a vet tech taking turns reading out loud all the horrible things this diet does to dogs hearts. It seems they had no idea of diet related DCM. My dog was not yet given heart medications. Her diet immediately changed and I now only give her dog food from the WSAVA guidelines, which include Royal Canin and Purina Pro Plan. There may be more, so ask your vet. Don’t trust Google! This is all very new, so she has only had the change of diet for five days. She appears fine and happy, but she has coughed a handful of times and last night she vomited up foam. I am hoping that she is one of the dogs who recovers from this. This is all very recent, so I am still very shaken. What is also getting me is the same vet gave my now deceased chihuahua, who was born with a heart murmur, prescription grain free dog food (for sensitive stomachs) for years and years. All while also giving him heart medications. The poor guy lived to be 15, but he suffered. So my warning to all the loving pet parents out there, don't blindly trust anyone. Just because they sell a food product like grain free at the local pet store as an option, doesn’t make it safe option for your dog. And while it’s fun and seems loving to make a warm home cooked meal for your dog, it’s extremely risky. Unless you are a food scientist, it is impossible to assure your dog gets all the nurtients they need. Dogs are not like us, although we love them like our children. You are gambling with your dogs life if you give them grain free, home made, or any food not on the WSAVA guidelines, which include Royal Canon and Purina Pro Plan. Both being popular among the ”in the know” crowd. I am overwhelmed with sadness that I caused my dog harm by the choices I made, but I am also very upset that grain free food, which is for sure linked to diet DCM, was even an option for me to purchase. And why didn’t my vet give me the heads up that this diet is at the minimum controversial? PLEASE SAVE YOURSELVES AND YOUR BELOVED DOGS THE HEARTACHE AND ACCEPT THIS WARNING ❤️‍🩹🐶 EDIT TO ADD: I appreciate all the kind responses and words of hope and healing. I am also very glad that so many of you are already “in the know.” That’s wonderful. Aafter conversation with my family, we remembered that the dog was fed Hills Science small puppy food for the first 12 months we had her. So in reality it was only5-6 months on this new diet (GF and homemade). I just want to clarify that I am a pretty basic person and did not buy grain free because it was trendy or boutique. Until this conversation, I had never even heard of the term “boutique brands” dog food. I shopped for the dog food at the local big box pet store. I now know after reading these comments that there is a big difference between the GF prescription dog food my chihuahua was given and the GF products sold at these pet stores. I had no clue. Also, I always gave my dog the dog food along with the homemade food, as I unfortunately believed Google when I read that there can be benefits to giving your dog homemade dog food, as long as it’s paired with regular dog food to sure all the nutrient needs are met. I did not realize that google gives people differing responses, as someone commented that when you look up “can I feed my dog homemade food?” all you get is No and a list of red flags. Sadly my algorithm did not provide that sound information. I really wish it had, That commenter should count themselves lucky. Please be kind to me and others going thru this. If this GF dog food thing is such an important issue, which I agree that it is, the FDA should be taking a firmer stance and not relying on the dog owners to get this information on their own. Many pet owners do not have access to good vets and it’s a bit extreme to expect the average pet owner to seek out this information, especially when they have no clue that it exists or why they should be seeking it out. submitted by /u/Louisa1774 to r/Dogowners [link] [comments]
