Hi there! If you want to do a home-cooked diet for Temperance, I would highly recommend using the site www.balanceit.com. It was founded by a veterinary nutritionist, and will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a balanced diet using the ingredients you choose, including any necessary additives or supplements :)

Great question! The person who told you dairy products are not good for dogs is correct. It's never recommended to give dogs dairy products because it causes GI upset. As for home made foods, your friend is also correct they typically aren't good for dogs. That's because that many home made diets are not nutritionally balanced, and your dog won't be getting all the nutrients they need. I personally recommend feeding a dog formulated food, but if you want to feed a homemade diet, I will put links to two websites below that have recipes for homemade dog foods that are nutritionally balanced. I hope this helps :-) https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com

It may be difficult to find a reasonably priced vegan and grain free food for Lola. Look at V-Dog diets and the Natural Balance Vegan formula. Many of these diets used brown rice though. Another option would be to discuss hydrolyzed diets with your veterinarian. These diets have the proteins partially broken down which decreases the risk of a reaction.

What food is appropriate will depend on how sensitive your dog's GI tract is to these ingredients. There are some over the counter foods without these ingredients in them. A low cost version available at Tractor Supply is the 4Health Salmon and Potato formula: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/4health-salmon-potato-formula-for-adult-dogs-5-lb-bag?cm_vc=-10005 Another option available at most pet stores would be Purina Proplan grain free formula such as the Savor Turkey and Chicken formula https://www.proplan.com/dogs/products/savor-grain-free-adult-shredded-blend-turkey-chicken-formula#ingredientsandguaranteedanalysis However, over the counter foods are made in facilities that produce many different foods so contamination of a food with an ingredient not on the label is a possibility. If the food allergy is severe, then a prescription diet available from your vet may be necessary (these special foods are made in a facility where contamination doesn't occur). These foods are unfortunately much more pricey. Another option is cooking for your dog. You can use the website Balanceit.com to find a properly formulated homemade diet for your dog.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to reach out to our experts about feeding your dog frozen yogurt. While it is safe to feed frozen yogurt, moderation is important. Plain frozen yogurt with no sweeteners is best as too much sugar, just as with humans, is not the healthiest option. Avoid artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol, as these can be toxic and cause health problems. Feeding small portions is best and take care in paying attention to the additional calories that are being added into the diet, especially with obese prone animals. Yogurt can be a good addition to a bland diet as well. However, if you are seeking the benefits of the probiotics in yogurt for your dog, look at veterinary specific probiotics as these contain probiotics specific to a pet's natural biome.
