Homemade Dog Food?

[Dogmama]

I always go back to the Pitcairn book. There are lots of opinions out there but most vets and reputable sources will refer you to him. He is a vet who is well versed in natural, holistic methods of healing. His diets are balanced and there are many options to his recipes. They are not as complicated as some and all lend themselves to making in huge batches & freezing. The Pitcairn book has been around for a couple of decades and I've successfully used his recipes with my irritable bowel shepherd and my currently allergy prone dog.

Be careful with internet sites. I haven't visited the aforementioned sites so I cannot comment - but remember that anybody can say anything and pass themselves off as experts.

I do not feed raw, as I have never seen a good outcome with my dogs. Cats are very different in terms of their needs for a good quality meat protein source. BTW, Pitcairn has cat diets too. He advocates raw for both dogs & cats, but I cook for my dog & see no difference.
