Hi Angel! Mom just started home cooking for me this week! Boy is it better that kibble! She was a little overwhelmed at how much meat I'm supposed to get. She was told that I should have 10 ounces of meat and two ounces of veggies twice a day. 20 ounces of meat a day sure is a lot. Well, not to me anyway! Do you eat that much meat?

The lady told her I could have sweet potatoes, any squash, any green dark veggies, kale, zuccini, borccoli, and dandellions. She also said to add 2-3 eggs per week. Basically she said any veggies or fruit. Just no onions.

Mom also read in the Whole Dog Journal that we can have apples, banannas, papayas, mangoes, berrries and mellon. Also jack mackerel and sardines once or twice a week. Also salmon, yogurt and cottage cheese.

Boy, I can't wait to try all these things.

Oh and I get calcium, cod liver oil, and digestive enzymes added in. Boy mom has her work cut out for her!

Hi!wave

Do you not like green veggies because of the texture? Have you tried blendng them like a puree and then mixing it with food? Maybe try a sample and mix it in one meal to see if it works for you guys!

Also, we tend to love mushrooms and zucchini. We eat lots of different yummy fruit especially apples, bluberries and pear. Cauliflower, carrots, sweet potatoes is a really yummy addition!

Your distaste for veggies may also have something to do with how its prepared. Me and Mia didn't like celery at all raw but once cooked thoroughly to thepoint of mush, we ate it right up. And if you cut the veggies really fine, and mix it in a meatloaf style dish, your pups will love it!

Good luck and I know you will find the right veggies for you!dancing

Gabe loves cooked mashed sweet potatoes. that could be a good one to try because I think many dogs like the sweetness. he also likes cooked pureed sweet peas mixed in w/ food!. zucchini may be a good one to try also because it is so bland.
