BONNIE'S NUTRITIOUS VET APPROVED DOG FOOD

Steps:

• 1. FIRST: Let's get the disclaimers out of the way. This is a Feeding Guideline Only. If your dog has any medical issues, consult with a vet or veterinary nutritionist to make sure this homemade diet works for your pet. You can make your own homemade dog food with human foods, but it must have the right balance of protein, fiber and carbohydrates to be healthy. Vets generally don't recommend making your own raw dog food because of the risk of bacterial contamination or possible public health risks.
• 2. A BALANCED DIET: Your homemade food needs to be balanced. It must contain protein, fiber and carbohydrates. Puppies require 25% protein in their meals, and adult dogs require 18%. Be aware that protein needs change according to the dog's age and vary according to breed. Check with your vet. The percentage of carbohydrates is not set in stone by the veterinary community and regulators. Again, check with your vet to determine your dog's ideal weight. FEEDING AMOUNT GUIDELINES: Feeding amount is according to your Vet's guidelines to maintain the dog's healthy weight. SOURCE: This information came from the Massachusetts' Animal Medical Center. The recipes are for dogs weighing 15, 30 and 60 pounds.
• 3. THE DOG DIET PROTEIN SOURCES: The primary protein source is dark chicken, but you can substitute with turkey, lamb, pork, beef or eggs in the same proportions. All meat should be cooked. CARBOHYDRATES: Consist of pasta, white or brown rice, sweet potato, barley, peas, corn or oatmeal. All grains should be cooked. FIBER: Comes from carrots, bell peppers, green beans, baby spinach, squash or broccoli but should be no more than 10% of the dog's entire dietary intake. Vegetables can be cooked or uncooked.
