There are six simple questions you should ask when assessing
the nutritional adequacy of a particular homemade diet:
- Are all five food groups included in the recipe?
- What is the source of carbohydrates?
- What kind of protein is included?
- Are adequate calcium and other minerals present?
- Is the protein source lean or fatty?
- Are micronutrients properly balanced?
You should also monitor your pet throughout the course of feeding any
homemade diet.
Unfortunately, improving the nutritional profile of a pet’s diet for
all 40+ nutrients is not a simple task. To properly balance a
homemade diet requires both the experience and scientific knowledge
of a veterinary nutritionist.
