From the guide

Start with the whole day

Write down everything your dog eats in a day, including training rewards and table scraps. Measure the main food rather than guessing by eye. Treats and other extras should provide no more than 10% of daily calories; the rest should come from complete food. Your veterinary team can help you set an appropriate calorie allowance.

Questions

Before you choose a guide.

Are the guides sold individually?

Yes. Each guide is sold separately for £12.99.

Which guide should I start with?

Choose Feed Your Dog Well for everyday basics, Homemade Dog Treats for occasional rewards, Simple Bowl Toppers for small additions, or The Organised Dog Kitchen for household routines.

Are the recipes complete meals?

No. The treats and toppers are complementary extras. They do not replace a complete diet. A fully home-cooked diet needs an individual formulation from a veterinary nutrition specialist.

How much room is there for extras?

Treats, toppers and table food together should provide no more than 10% of daily calories. Ask your veterinary team to help set an appropriate allowance for your dog.

Are the recipes suitable for every dog?

They are intended as ideas for healthy adult dogs that tolerate the listed ingredients. Puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, and dogs with medical conditions or prescribed diets need individual advice before changing food or adding extras.

Do the recipes contain raw meat?

No. The examples use cooked ingredients. Meat must be fully cooked and free from bones, skin and seasoning.

Is homemade food automatically better?

No. What matters is whether the overall diet meets the individual dog’s nutritional needs. Homemade extras are an optional activity, not a requirement for good feeding.

Can I change ingredients in a prescribed homemade diet?

Follow the formulation exactly and discuss changes with the professional who created it. Ingredient substitutions can change the nutrient balance.

What language are the guides written in?

British English.
