TGIF. It's been a quick week in this household and some of us are taking naps. TBall, soccer, hair cuts, walks in the park, Korean tutor and a really busy work schedule will do it to you. And the pups have been there right there with us
Last weekend, we started a more holistic diet for the girls. I took Trojan to a vet that specializes in this area. She actually has 7 rescue Cavs so knows the dogs well. We made the decision to try some home cooking instead of Merrick. So off we went in search of chicken hearts, liver and beef...uckie, right. I blended this with veggies and fruit and made a puppy loaf. I have to say it looked darn good. And the girls approved. It was slowly introduced, but they gobbled it down. And no leaky issues at the other end...so success.
The vet also suggested Omega 3 and direuitic foods for them to help their hearts and flush fluids. And let me tell you, it's working. As in, 3 am potty calls. Just like women going to the rest room as a clan...once one of them stirs...they all want out.
And we switched their treats. Banana chips were not a hit with them...but our little guy loved them. The girls were more into a little ball of peanut butter, oats, and parsley. The good news is that I can break that ball into pieces and feed all three of them.
We'll see how week two goes with the homemade diet. But, it really wasn't as time consuming as thought it would be. And if it helps the girls....then it's worth the time
