Hello everybody :wave:
as I said in the "Pictures" my time in "internet world" was very limited for a while
but now already had the time to see the new pics here (which are great!), read some topics :wink:
and of course I am here with a question!
well...to cut it short...I switched Pupa to a home cooked food...
I mean it is a bit late for me to stay asking if it is worth it...
I really doubt she will go back to Science Diet (which she was "eating" before) and I dont see the necessity for it.
I made this decision cos she was eating bad...I mean really bad...and loosing hair. And when she has thrown up one evening - it was the last thing I needed. I was kinda thinking before that it might be a bit boring for her to just stick to this Science Diet for all her life.
So I read a lot of info in books and Internet, and found out what I can cook for her and what I shouldn't...
so here I am asking you people (who maybe feed their babies with home-cooked food or who know about it)
if I am doing everything right:
the menu includes:
meat: chicken, beef, sea-fish(once a week), by-products (not a lot)
grain: rice, corn, oats, buckwheet, pasta, bread, noodles
dairy: lowfat ricotta, lowfat cheese, yogurt
vegs: cabbage, brokkoly, peas, carrot, marrow, pumpkin,cauliflower etc (excluding sweet peppers, onion, tomato)
additional: veg/olive oil, parsley
fruit: apples, banana etc (exc. grapes)
eggs: boiled or omelette (once a week)
what not to give:
- fried
- smoked
- with a lot of salt and spices
- sweets
- milk
- nuts
- onion
- grapes
- beans
- sweet pepper
Also I bought good vitamins (in the pet store they told me that if I am feeding at home, I can just crush half a pill with the morning food and half a pill in the evening and it gives the required vitamins)
So for example what I've been feeding her:
- boiled pieces of chicken with carrot, peas and rice
- noodels with scrambled eggs,carrot,marrow,chicken
- thick stew of all vegs (mentioned above) + small pasta beads + I added there her kibble (she eat it all) or I can add pieces of beef
...
also on the weekend in the very morning I give her a bit of mashed banana with ricotta and so on...
I noticed that she started going to poop only twice a day (before it was like 3-4 times) - which tells me that more food is being digested properly. The poop is solid and doesnt stink a lot.
She doesnt have "fishy" smell from her mouth any more...
What I am worried about is if my menu is rich enough, if maybe I forgot something, what else if necessary for her to eat?
I heard something about cod liver? what is it? where do i buy it?
Also any tips about home feeding will be appreciated highly!!!
Sorry I bored you guys with so much information, but I really need advice
Thanks in advance! :wave:
