I started feeding my Dolly homecooked a long time ago. Dolly could not hold most dog foods down.
I know they need more meat,in their diets more than any thing else and a few things to add other nutrients.
At first I went at it kinda as raising kids,only i don't force them to eat all their veggys.
What i do is cook for all of us each day.I adjusted my recipes to their tummys. What i eat they eat. Ive stopped useing pepper and spices. And if i and hubby want fried onions i do it last. That way its not a huge to do,im just cooking dinner.
There are some things dogs should not have.
Never Chicken bones cooked or raw,they crack and splinter and do not crunch up. That can cause a lot of stomach problems if those splinters get lodged in the digestive track.
Small bones they may choke on if they are a gulper again cooked or raw,some say only cooked bones,onions,hot spices,pepper,chocolate.
I only found out about chocolate and onions being called poison to dogs a few years back,when Doll had an allergic reaction to chocolate.
I eat no more chocolate cake,candy or icecream!! Because Dolly likes to have at least a bite of everything mommy eats.
Other things that should be consumed in small doses are sugar and salt.
Milk and cheese they need for calcium. But be sure they don't have an allergie to it. If they are lactose intolerent find other sorces of calcium!
Small test bites of any thing they have never had before is best,to be sure they don't get sick from it.
Egg and peanut butter,fish, all the things a human can be allergic to so can our Furbabie's.
Dolly will throw up peas but she can eat green beans,potatoes,carrots,and some others.
All furbabies are different in metabalisim and taste or preferences.
A good website to have is :
