• Rice and oats should be cooked. Raw rice and oats will expand in the animal's stomach.
• Wheat or corn flour may aggravate dog allergies.
• Eggshell provides much needed calcium and flaxseed provides a good source of omega 3s.
• Dogs need variety. Do not feed your pet the same recipe every day.
• If you are nervous about starting homemade food, start by replacing 25% of the commercial food with fresh food. If you choose to replace 50% or more of your dog's diet with homemade food, you should include a few ounces of a cooked organ meat to the lean protein.
