It’s really great that you’re putting so much thought into your dogs’ food. I’ve been in a similar situation myself — my dog had kidney disease a while back and when I took him to my local vet at Beyond Pets, they made me realize how important it is to get the balance right with homemade meals.
Your chicken and veggie recipe sounds delicious, but you might want to make sure your pups are getting enough calcium — plain chicken and veggies can fall short. A simple option is adding finely ground eggshell powder for extra calcium.
Also, healthy fats like fish oil can help with Omega-3s. For vitamins, try to use a good dog-specific multivitamin, but add it after cooking, since some nutrients lose their strength when heated too much in a pressure cooker.
Rotating proteins like chicken, red meat, fish, or liver is smart — just be careful with liver because too much can lead to vitamin A issues.
You’re doing an awesome job — your dogs are lucky to have you looking out for them!
