We are thinking of going the home made raw diet route. For Ranger we are going to try one protein and one carb. Since she seems to do best with beef I think we will try that and sweet potato for a while and see if that stops the itching and bad poop. I have a feeling the itching is environmental and I hope this doesn’t result in a false positive.
Scout (the GSD) on the other hand is fine stool-wise with most proteins and whatever carbs are in the NV.
I am wondering if it is better to give dogs cut meat or ground meat. I guess if we wanted to make our own patties we could use meat, bone, and sweet potato. My mother used to use a grinder with a crank to make ground beef. I wonder if I should get one of those.
We tried Orijen when they were babies and their stool was still bad so I don’t think dry kibble is the way to go for them.
I didn’t know Fish Oil contained Omega 3′s and I also didn’t know that I needed to use a supplement with it. Do Omega 3′s cause a Vitamin E deficiency?
