Final Comments


Veterinarian and pet nutritionist Donald R. Strombeck developed this to be fed as a daily homemade diet. It is formulated for a 29-pound dog; if your dog is lighter or heavier, adjust the amounts accordingly. It would be a good idea to divide the completed meal into portions and feed twice, morning and evening.

Bone meal tablets (powder can be used, too) are available at stores such as the Vitamin Shoppe; do not use bone meal meant for gardening uses.

If you'd like, ½ cup of cooked vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, carrots, peas and squash are a few possibilities) may be added.
