ParticipantHey, I just found this forum and am excited to hear anybody’s opinion.
I have a 6 year old GSD, 115 pounds, healthy weight. No illness or adverse conditions. I have been feeding him a home cooked diet going on three years. In the very beginning I briefly flirted with raw recommended by a vet, but it wasn’t for me. My current vet is afraid to give any nutritional advice and so sometimes I feel like Lewis and Clark here.
His daily diet:
whole wheat sourdough bread
(I make a 250g flour loaf every other day and split it in two)
14-16 oz beef scraps
(Relatively high fat in the 30-40% range depending on the cut)
8 oz chicken meat and bones
(I boil them into a stock for 24 hours so they mush in your hands, no sharp edges)
1.5 cups of said stock
(Seasoned with celery seed, thyme, parsley, rosemary, shitake)
.5 Tbsp butter
1 duck egg
Half a cup of vegetables of some kind (green beans right now)
A small handful of fruit
(Raspberries right now)
A small handful of leafy greensAt least once a month he will have fish of some kind. Mussels, shrimp or other shellfish
My current philosophy is:
I don’t do supplements because I don’t take supplements. If I can meet my own nutritional needs I should be able to meet my dog’s. My goal is for that not to change.
Just curious what fellow home-cookers think.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read!

ParticipantI havenât really seen people answering a lot of the posts. I also make homemade food for my moms dogs and mine due to sensitive stomachs to bag dog food. Our dogs are much smaller than yours. I would be curious to see a response/input to your post. Hopefully you will get a real response soon (mine doesnât count).
