Dog is allergic to dry dog food can only feed canned dog food this is expensive what can you do?

Answer 1

Depending on the brand, even the seemingly expensive foods can actually turn out cheaper in the long run. Very high quality foods will look expensive, but because they have no cheap filler in and are primarily made from meat, a dog will need to eat a lot less as its nutritional needs are met with a smaller amount of food.

Raw food is becoming a popular choice for pet owners. However, one much conduct a lot of time to research to what exactly a dog needs in its diet. Missing out on one vital ingredient could be catastrophic later down the line. There are many many ways and recipes for raw feeding. Many just use meat, organ and bone (some use fresh, whole carcasses) with some added supplements, whereas some add vegetables as well. Some grind the food up into a mince, whereas some roughly chop it up so the dog can keep its teeth clean by chewing.

Here is one recipe example:

Use chopped or shredded meat. Never use mince as this can increase the risk of illness if any bacteria was on the meat prior or mincing (which would have mixed the harmful bacteria into it). Mixing some offal (organs such as lung, liver, kidney, etc) will provide the dog with needed nutrients. The amount of meat depends on how big your dog is. I have large dogs, so 1/2 lb ea.

Add in grated zucchini, carrot and a small potato. If you have vitamin E and/or fish oil capsules, pierce and squeeze into mix. You can also sprinkle in a tablespoon of brewer's yeast. Mix it all well together, it's like meatloaf. Feed your dog.

It's all one to one measurements. 1 serving meat, 1 zuke, 1 carrot, 1 potato, 1 vit E cap, 1 fish oil cap, 1 Tbsp yeast = 1 serving for 1 dog.

You can make ahead for three days.
