  • Senior dogs can be particularly difficult to feed. Their metabolism has slowed down, and they may even have some health concerns that can be helped with the right diet. This homemade senior dog food won't be right for all older pups, so be sure to check with your vet before switching. Read the full recipe here: topdogtips.com/recipe-homemad...
    Before you decide to switch your dog's diet (whether he's a senior or not) you need to discuss the change with your veterinarian or a trained canine nutritionist. Trying to make the switch yourself could lead to malnutrition or nutrient toxicity. This homemade senior dog food will not be nutritionally balanced for every dog, so be sure to check with your vet about supplements and/or multivitamins that would be beneficial to add to the recipe.
    "Once the food has cooled, you can feed it to your dog. The recommended serving size is about 1/2 cup for every 25-30 pounds of body weight. This recommendation is for 2 servings per day."

      This was great, been searching for "how long will a picky dog go without eating?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Sonannah Curious Smasher - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to unlock the secret the dog food industry is hiding minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got great results with it.

    This is great, thank you. I have a senior dog that in his prime he was around 90 pounds and active. He is now around 75 or 80 pounds, and relatively inactive as a senior dog. It seems 1 1/2 cups would be the correct portion size, but how many times a day would you say he needs to eat this recipe? Thanks again for posting

      the only thing you can do is wait. Not giving them more food until they eat what you give them. Just like a little kid😁. They will be fine not eating for a little bit. If he doesn't eat it after two days then he REALLY doesnt want it lol. As long as he drinks water!
