In a raw diet with bones, the bones provide this benefit to help keep stools firm. Since a home cooked diet will be missing the nutrients found in bones, these will be added to the home cooked diets. For a raw diet, you will probably feed around 2% to 3% of the dog's body weight daily. This amount can be split in half and fed twice daily, as listed below, or served four times daily in smaller amounts. Variety is suggested to keep the dog's appetite stimulated.
A Raw Diet for cancer dog
Morning Meal
Feed a variety of high fat protein sources, alternating between or mixing together any of the following: - Muscle meat: especially high-fat varieties such as hamburger, lamb, pork or goat - Canned fish: including mackerel, salmon, or sardines packed in water, not oil (do not feed tuna) - Eggs: These are very healthy and can be added to every meal if desired - Dairy: whole milk yogurt and cottage cheese - Organ meats: including liver and kidney in small amounts (no more than 10% of the total diet. It is usually best to feed small amounts daily rather than larger amounts periodically, as these foods are rich and can cause diarrhea if too much is fed at one time) - Heart: this is another very healthy food to include in the diet - Vegetables: although they are not necessary, you may also want to feed vegetables (either cooked or pureed), including broccoli, dark leafy greens, cabbage, zucchini, crook neck squash and Bok Choy Evening Meal Raw Meaty Bones: - chicken necks, wings, backs and frames - turkey necks - beef necks and ribs - pork necks, breast, feet, and tails - lamb ribs Raw meaty bones can be ground if the dog has trouble chewing
Cooked Diets for cancer dog
Cooked diets also need to offer variety, and large batches can be packaged into meal sized portions and frozen for later use. Feeding amounts are the same, approximately 2% to 3% of the dog's body weight daily. For instance, a 100-pound dog would eat two to three pounds of food a day, a fifty pound dog would eat one to one and a half pounds of food daily and a 25 pound dog would eat 1/2 pound to 3/4 pound daily. A cup is approximately 8 ounces or 1/2 pound, some dogs will do well on two meals a day, others may need three or four smaller meals a day. More vegetables are used in the cooked diets, to use as fiber. Do not overcook the meat, but rather cook lightly which will retain more of the nutrients. Butter can be used for cooking (unsalted butter for those dogs with kidney or heart problems), for flavor and palatability.....to continue reading this article please click on here...
