I don't give supplements and I feed total raw and bones. However I know not everyone is comfortable with that. Just make the ratio of meat greater than the veggies. I really believe that if a dog has a good, well rounded diet they don't need supplements and I feel they are a waste of money unless it is for a particular problem. Sheila

Katie is just precious! I enjoy seeing the photos of everyones babies. I found one site that said 75% carbs and 25% meat. I think that is far too much carbs and not enough meat. Another site said 40% meat, 30% veggies, and 30% starch. I think that may still be just a wee bit much on the starchy carbs and maybe a bit less meat than I would give. Some say nearly all meat and bones, but I'm not convinced of the bone thing. I think I'll stay away from the bones and maybe go with a calcium suppliment or bone meal (not the garden variety!). But, I am still in the process of researching. Has anyone heard of "The missing link"? It is a suppliment that was recommended when feeding "real food".

All dogs should be given meat, raw or cooked, veggies, and even fruit. But NEVER give onions, raisins, grapes, or chocolate. And there is no need to salt food you cook for them - salt is not good for dogs. But garlic is good for keeping fleas away. Here's the recipe: chicken breasts or legs, boiled veggies - potatoes, peas, carrots That's it. lol Katie just LOVES this!! Of course you can add whatever other veggies you want. I can't get her to eat any other veggies though. She will be one year old next week, and has only recently started eating the carrots. This is a very simple recipe and doesn't take long to cook. I'm not positive, but I think dogs need more meat than the veggies, so keep that in mind when you cook the meal. And NO cooked bones. There's a lot of home cooked meals for dogs on the Net. I got an ebook of home cooked meals for dogs on ebay for $1. Anyway, I hope you find this recipe helpful.
