Advice and recipes for All Natural high protein homemade dog food ?

My dog was just diagnosed as having thyroid cancer and I have been doing a lot of research in relation to his diet, supplements etc and would like to ask people for their own advice, secrets, petfood recipes and general guidance and information.



Because of the location of his tumor, surgery is the not really an option. He will be undergoing a treatment of oral radiation which will not give him any symptons or side affects except leave him a little radioactive for a short period of time.



I have another 2 dogs and am going to totally change and re-vamp all their diets to one that is using only Raw, natural homemade foods that are free from chemicals and over processing. The use of Raw, natural foods keep coming up as one of the most important things to do in the fight against your dogs cancer, the second most important is the use of herbal/natural supplements daily.



I have been reading that a high protein diet 95% protein and 5%carbohydrates is required for dogs with cancer as carbohydrates can often fuel and fed the cancer.



I would be so appreciative if you guys would share your knowledge, recipes, stories of encouragement and advice that will help me help my little man to recovery and many years of a healthy and happy life.

Just feed raw meaty bones from the grocery store or butcher(bones must be edible!) and organ meat. (bravo raw dog food brand sells a ground beef organ blend). You can give veggies as a treat. Like blueberries,yogurt,eggs,finely chopped carrots and apples. Dogs with cancer should NEVER be fed grain.Advice and recipes for All Natural high protein homemade dog food ?
We feed our dogs roo meat mixed with vegies and rice and some dry food. Uncooked bones are good as a treat, and will help keep their breath fresh. I find that egg whites and anything with too much dairy such as milk etc can give them an upset tummy, and you may find that they will throw this up. Also, every now and then add a tablespoon of virgin olive oil in with there dinner- this will keep their coat healthy and shiny.Advice and recipes for All Natural high protein homemade dog food ?

Please, before you make this radical a change in any of your dogs diets ask your veterinarian. I would question whether or not your sick dog will have the energy to digest that much meat and other proteins. Protein digests very slowly and requires a lot of energy to do so. I would suggest you talk to your vet about the change and contact the closest veterinary school that surely has some nutritional training. I think your dogs might benefit from is a combination of diets. I know there is a lot of hype concerning the RAW diet,but move with caution. You could stress your dogs system more then it already is.
There have been lots of talk about the merits of raw food to dogs' nutritional needs. Some would say that dogs being direct descendents of wolves have digestive systems that are best suited for breaking down raw food. Still others would argue that a raw food diet actually poses a risk to your dog's health because improper handling may expose your dog to salmonella.
