is this a nutritional puppy recipe - please help
I've been searching the internet for a healthy diet to feed my soon to come home puppy. There are so many I feel as though my head is spinning! I found this one & would be ever so grateful for any information as to what to add or not add to the recipe. It is the best one that I have found so far, any thoughts on another I'd welcome. I know vegetables are important, carrots, peas are these something that I should consider? And how much food should I feed him in a day?
1 cup sweet potatoes, cooked 2 cups (1 lb) beef chuck, chicken or turkey with skin or lamb 1 or 2 eggs (optional) 1 cup low fat cottage cheese or yogurt 2,400mgs of calcium (from bone meal - egg shell powder) 2 tbsp healthy powder ( recipie below) 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 fish oil gel caps or 1/2 tsp liquid fish oil 2 tsp cod liver oil 400 IUs vitamin E 10 mgs iron (optional) 1,000 mgs taurine (also optional) Dr. Pitcairn's Recipe for Healthy Powder 2 cups nutritional yeast 1 cup lecithin granules 1/4 cup kelp or alfalfa powder 9 grams (9,000mg calcium ( used to balance oout the phosphorus in the healthy powder) |

Not being a dog nutritionist, I"d say, hmm that's a lot of iron and calcium. I'd add more veggies, like peas, carrots, whatever you think the dog will eat.There is a raw food forum here, they may be able to give you some advice, as they're the ones who feed like this.
Some of us are just part-timers.lol. |

Smaller- breed puppies (up to 10 kilograms at maturity) need higher levels of protein, fat, calcium and phosphorus to support growth and development of bones, muscles, and other tissues.
Larger-breed puppies (25kilograms or greater at maturity) need lower levels of these nutrients to control their growth rate and to achieve healthy weights and skeletal structures. Medium-breed puppies fall between the other two groups in nutrient requirements. http://www.showdogs.co.za/articles/e...pyfeeding.html |

Sorry for the delay. Thank you for your responses. Yes I am fearful of the amount of calcium because I've heard that too much calcium is a harmful as too little for a puppy. Here is the website. The recipe is at the very bottom of the page. http://www.dogaware.com/wdjhomemade3.html
