Feeding a dog with fresh food
My labrador has occasional but persistent diarrhoea which effectively limits where I can take him, so have been looking around this forum for advice. There is plenty of advice about changing types of dry food (use JWB at present) or try a wet food which he has never had. Also try small amounts of probiotic Yoghourt which seems an interesting suggestion. I may try some of these ideas but it all seems a bit hiit and miss and even if I find something that is suitable then there is no guarantee that the formulation of it will not change as may have been the case with JWB. I was thinking of starting from the other direction and feeding him fresh food so I know exatly what he is getting and perhaps introduce some variations from time to time. It is obviously at lo more work than pouring out the dry food but I was wondering if any else does this and can offer practical advice. My dog care book tells me what foods are suitable to make a baalanced diet but not much about the preparation. Could I use the microwave? Can I prepare it in advance and keep in the fridge till required? How long can it safely be stored? What about when he goes to kennels? Any advice on this subject greatfully received. Thanks
