I have just transitioned Belle to a fully homemade diet and due to not wanting to use raw meat, she is not on any raw bones. I understand she is supposed to have a calcium supplement and I did order one, but I have been giving her the Vimergy Barley Grass Juice Powder recommended by Medical...
Thank you so much for your reply @Dr. Jeff . I had looked at Small Batch but everything I found there had wheat grass and I have celiac and a wheat allergy, so I don't have any gluten or wheat containing products in my home. Also Belle has been grain free her entire life since she never did...
Thank you @Dr. Jean Hofve . This one I linked is frozen - they slow cook it and freeze it right away and ship it frozen. But it sounds like this is not any better on the Vitality scale than the Honest Kitchen dehydrated beef? I was trying to find a fresh already cooked option so I didn't have...
@Dr. Jeff would this precooked beef be considered on the Vitality Scale as fresh cooked? It says it is plain with nothing added and there are no antibiotics, no added growth hormones, no GMOs, and no animal mRNA vaccines and 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. Plain Slow Roasted Shredded Beef -...
@Dr. Jeff would precooked beef from here work and be better than the deyhdrated Honest Kitchen. It says there are no antibiotics, no added growth hormones, no GMOs, and no animal mRNA vaccines and 100% grass-fed and grass-finished? or that combined with sardines? Plain Slow Roasted Shredded...
Thank you so much for all of this information, I really appreciate it!
This is great to know that the sardines and salmon do contain calcium and that I would not need a calcium supplement with them, it makes things easier. I am only purchasing the ones in water with no salt because that is...
Thank you @Dr. Jeff Since Dr. Hofve said that HK is heavy in the carbohydrates, perhaps during the transition I should give Belle less of it - like just at breakfast. Then at dinner give the fresh sweet potatoes and other vegetables and increase sardines to 1/2 can.
Thank you so much for all of this very helpful information @Dr. Jean Hofve , I really appreciate it!
I am glad to hear I do not have to rush off the Honest Kitchen and that it is a good quality. It is very good to know it is high in carbs though so that I need to be careful about the sweet...
Thank you so much @Dr. Jeff for all of this very helpful information and for the AI information, I really appreciate it!
You mentioned that sardines and salmon are fine as the only protein if I get her off the Honest Kitchen, but the AI said it was not okay, so I am confused. The AI also...
My 13 year old female 29 pound Goldendoodle, Belle, was eating the Honest Kitchen grain free beef kibble for the past 3 years or so. Over the past two years, she started having high liver enzymes and protein in her urine and gaining weight (22 pounds to 29 pounds). A couple months ago she...
