    Home cooked meals fed long term

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Posted

    I home cooked for a super senior for the last year or so of her life (13-14). She ate chicken and egg noodles with toppings of full fat yogurt and canned pumpkin. Because of her advanced age I wasn't super worried about getting all the nutrients right, in our case it was just about getting food into her that she could tolerate. It was pretty good though; protein, carbs, calcium, and fiber. I was working with a palliative care vet who approved of it and Lila did really well on it, maintained her weight, perfect poops, beautiful fur, and was happy and bright.

    This company sells supplements, https://balance.it/recipes but the recipe builder section will also help you put together a balanced meal based on your dog's needs. That palliative care vet recommended it and said it provided good nutrition even without using their supplements.

    Good luck!

    Playtime!

    I miss my broodies! Once Kate discovered toys and play, she would come into the bedroom every night at about midnight to get me. I would have to come to the living room while she did spins and flung toys. She only did that late at night after everyone had gone to bed, but she always shared it with me. 

    It is so sweet that she wanted to share her joy with you! :wub:    And if you catch me on the right day, I'd be willing to box Wiki up and send her your way. ;)

    Mistress, that picture of Wiki is so wonderful.  You need to share it at your next Wednesday meeting.  

    Yes, the Wiki Wednesday fans will love it!

    Welcome Cassie!  She's very pretty and it sounds like you're all getting along pretty well already.

    I don't know anything about the breed other than thinking it could be a possible sighthound option if I need to size down from a greyhound. I'm guessing a much higher energy level than a greyhound?
