Gday peoples,
I'm looking for some good recipes for home made dog food. My bull arab has just got another abcess due to blocked anal glands/infection. The surgery to remove her anal glands is not a nice one- long recovery and very painful, with risks i'm not 100% willing to take just now. I know it is a disease and there is a good chance surgery is the only thing that will stop it, but im willing to give alternative solutioins a try first.
I have been recommended giving her more protein in her diet to try harden up her stools, which in turn may help to empty her glands more often.
We occasionally give the dogs heart, kidney and liver with a bit of veg and rice/pasta with their dry food (royal canin), but now i think i need to start making a hell of a lot more fresh food for them.
I'm thinking raw roo/chicken mince, pasta, veg, brown rice?, eggs. no idea of quantities, but i got 2 mutts to feed so im hoping to brew up a good 2 weeks or so worth of food each time.
So any ideas, ingredients, quantities? Any info on what is good and bad appreciated.
Cheers
