dachshundmom
MemberHello all,
Iām new to the forum, and really excited about all the information Iāve found already. But I have a bit of a unique problem, I think. I have an 8-year old dachshund named Ethel, who spent most of her life on brands that are well-ranked on this site. Last year we (me, Ethel, and her ādadā) to Southeast Asia, for work. Weāre living in a big city with a fair amount of foreign goods available, but there are only two imported dog foods: Pedigree and Royal Canin, neither of which are ranked well here. Royal Canin is the better of the two (2.5 stars) but it was the first food that has ever upset her stomach, and the vet asked us to switch off it (to the Pedigree) when blood started appearing in her poop.
Iād like to make my own, and can access all sorts of chicken, beef, pork, fish parts. I canāt, however, buy much in the way of supplements. Soā¦Iāve been using brown rice and leaner meat, mixed with kale or spinach, sweet potato, peas, carrots and other random veggies (Ethel LOVES vegetables, always has). She eats a few sliced apples or mangos a week, instead of dog treats. Her weight has stayed the same (sheās fit) and her coat looks good, and all her tests come back with good results. But Iām winging it. And the āmomā in me is worried that without fish oil pills or glucosamine, Iām doing her major damage. But itās got to be better than the Pedigree, right?
Does anyone have things I should add in, beyond the stuff mentioned above? If you have weird animal body parts (kidneys? hearts?) that you know of that provide the same things as the supplements people in the US seem to be using, Iād GREATLY appreciate some advice.
Thank you!
Cristina (and Ethel)theBCnut
MemberFor fish oil, give her a meal of sardines once a week. And see if you can find a multivitamin that you can give her a piece of a couple times a week. You need to make sure sure she gets enough calcium. Bones are usually the way dogs get calcium, but egg shells work great and eggs are healthy for dogs too. Do an internet search for homemade dog food and you will be able to find some recipes that will give you a good idea of what dogs need. Dogaware dot com is a good place to start. Steve Brownās book āUnlocking the Canine Ancestral Dietā is an ebook, if you can get those.
