Which homemade chicken or goat soup is better and safe for my GSD puppy?

This would not be a complete diet for Peanut and would not meet all her nutritional needs. I'd recommend a high quality dog food like Hill's Science Diet or Royal Canin. If you really want to home cook for Peanut you can look into balanceit.com for nutritionally balanced home cooked options. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hello. This may be a pretty low quality food. And adding unnecessary supplements may do more harm than good. You are much better off feeding a good quality large breed puppy food such as the ones made by Purina, Science Diet & Royal Canin. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello, and thank you for rescuing the puppy. You can feed any national puppy food & do very well with it. My favorites are Hills Science Diet, Royal Canin & even Purina. They are all excellent without being gimmicky. Have her seen by your vet soon for parasite protection & vaccinations & she should grow healthy & well.

Hello! I recommend feeding a diet that has been established for a long time and has undergone feeding trials and follows AAFCO nutrition standards. Purina, Royal Canin, Hill's, and Iams are all examples of good brands. I would avoid any raw, grain free, other "fad" diets as their lack of scientific evidence often leads to chronic nutritional deficiencies in senior pets that are fed these diets long term. I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Why does your Vet want Lexi off beef? I would be careful with grain free diets as there is s huge issue with taurine deficiency is some of these diets that are causing heart disease in some dogs. There is no medical reason for a dog to eat grain free. I would only feed a raw diet if it is balanced by a Veterinary Nutritionist especially since your dog is a puppy and growing. It is VERY important to supply the correct ratios of calcium and phosphorus. Commercial dog foods that are managed by nutritionists are your safest bet. I would consult the Vet that recommended stopping beef as I do not have all Lexi's medical information to guide you. If you want to cook/feed raw please visit: https://secure.balanceit.com/ I wish you and Lexi the best!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Mio. No, homemade diets are not recommended for puppies. It's very hard to get the correct balance of nutrients. You should feed him a commercial diet like Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, or Iams. He needs a puppy food. Vomiting blood is a medical emergency, so he needs to see a vet now. Best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! No onions, garlic, raisins or grapes. I would be careful cooking for a young growing puppy. I don't like it for adult dogs because unless a veterinary nutritionist is balancing the food appropriately you are at risk of causing problems. You have to be sure the diet has the correct calcium/phosphorus ratio and has sufficient amounts of certain amino acids, for example taurine. A diet that doesn't have appropriate levels of taurine can cause heart disease and heart failure in animals. Commercial diets are the best thing to feed your pets.
