Why switch to a home diet?
To prepare good pies gives him the impression of spoiling him, and it is the case when one respects his needs. The dog takes so much more pleasure to eat a dish "prepared" than a bowl of croquettes, or even pâtés that are his preference. Except of course dogs so used to kibble that they do not want to eat anything else.
We control what he eats and it's always more reassuring.
Of course it does not only have advantages: the cost is higher, it takes time, it is important to know very well the nutritional needs of dogs, which can vary according to his age, his race, his physical activity. But on this last point your vet can advise you. Of course the change of regime must be progressive.
The basis of homemade food
- ⅓ protein: cooked or raw red or white meat, raw egg yolk (the white 'egg can be given, but cooked), fish. Cheeses are generally limited, like all dairy products, especially fermented cheeses.
- ⅓ Well-cooked cereals: rice rather than pasta and other starchy foods whose gluten content is difficult to digest for an animal that does not have the necessary enzymes to do so. Make it especially well cooked, it must be sticky.
- ⅓ vegetables: carrots, zucchini, green beans, leeks, raw (and mixed) or cooked, no fruit. Do not put vegetables that ferment, like cabbage and canned vegetables.
- Fats: Choose vegetable oils, extracted at first cold pressure, rapeseed, sunflower, corn, which you can alternate. Put in a tablespoon a day for a dog about 25 kg.
- A supplement for vitamins and minerals that will be missed.
Warning: some foods are not recommended, others forbidden: chocolate, onion, sugar and salt ...

The BARF diet: raw meat
For some, the best diet for dogs is a diet based on raw meat, half bone-free half meat plus bone, plus some vegetables and a little oil, but mostly without cereals. The weight of the daily ration of an adult BARF dog is equivalent to 3% of its weight. A 35 kg dog will need 1050 g.
