I want to make my kitten and dogs food. Can I make the same food for my dogs as for the kitten? If not what should I change between the two. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 8 years and 5 months old | 13 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your pets. Home cooking pet food can be very satisfying as most pets love it. However, it is extremely difficult to make the meals nutritionally balanced. For this reason, I recommend using a recipe provided by a veterinary nutritionist. I have several clients using this and have been so pleased with the results. I recommend www.balanceit.com. The nutritional requirements for a kitten will be different from an adult dog. Kittens need more protein and fat for growth and development. They also require an amino acid known as taurine in their diet. I hope this information helps!
