My dog has food allergies so I am switching him to Honest Honest Kitchen's Preference and adding my own salmon or venison. My question is:

What other veggies or fruits can I add to Preference? I was thinking about pumpkin, apples, melons, broccoli, cauliflower… any ideas?

Thanks,

Joy

Thanks for the great ideas from both of you. Should I put the cooked veges in the blender or is just steaming the broccoli ok? I'm still switching him over from his other dog food so I am going to start adding these this weekend. I got a couple cans of 100% meat at the pet food store that I can use in an emergency. A friend went hunting so hopefully I will have some fresh venison soon. The rest of the time he and I will be eating LOTS of salmon. Is the canned salmon good enough to use?

I am also giving him a little yogurt at each meal to combat his tendency to get yeast infections (ears, neck, between toes, etc).

I love my babies.

I feed Preference to Maggie (along with Embark and Thrive by Honest Kitchen as well).  To be honest, I've never even thought of adding more veggie's to their mixes.  In my opinion, I would add as much protein (meat) as you can to keep the carb levels down.

Just food for thought

Thanks. I just bought a salmon filet he and I are going to split this week… lol. But the canned salmon is a great emergency if I don't have anything else to add. I'm hoping some of my friends are successful in their hunting these next few weeks so we get some venison.

I just thought some extra veges couldn't hurt, especially with some like brocoli for the extra antioxidants.

I really hope this helps his allergies. That's the real reason I'm changing.

So far he seems to love preference. This weekend is the test when the transition is over.
