Does anyone make their dog’s food at home? 🐶 If so, are there any key ingredients I should use beyond the basic proteins, fats, veggies, starches, etc? Both my dogs have sensitive stomachs and I’d like to try making their food from scratch.

I haven’t tried it personally but if you do go for it make sure to do a lot of research on key nutrients dogs need or look into dietary supplements. It can be very difficult on a homemade diet to meet a dogs nutritional needs but with careful research and vet nutritionist guidance, it’s possible. I would consult with a specialist before doing anything. A lot of homemade diets do more harm than good.

It’s very difficult to get all the required nutrients and you will more than likely need to add supplements as well. If you’re up for the challenge, just make sure you find a diet plan to build your recipes off of that meets AAFCO nutrition standards. You might be better off trying elimination diets to determine the source of the sensitivities, we thought my golden had a corn allergy for a long time, but turns out she just needed a different protein source instead of chicken. There are also brands out there that make human grade fresh meals for dogs, that might be worth looking into before you try to do it completely in house. I’ve seen ads for the Farmer’s Dog, but haven’t done any research or used it myself. Maybe something to look into though.

I do half dog food and half homemade food. I try to avoid anything with carbs because they don’t actually need carbs and some dog treats already contain carbs. I mix mashed potatoes with shredded chicken breast/minced turkey/minced beef and put in a kong. For all the meat i make sure they’re lean meats so it’s easier. I boiled the meat without any seasoning.

Talk to your vet beforehand. Odds are they'll tell you not too, but will be able to sell you some supplements to add to your homemade food.

I have lots of friends that do who compete in dog sports. You can always start by buying RAW dog food kits to get an idea of the ingredients.

I’ve stated feeding my pup weruva. It’s canned or pouch, but most of them have a pumpkin base (good for sensitive tummies) and you can tell what the food is - the chicken and vegetables actually look like chicken and vegetables. I was feeding her boiled chicken with rice and pumpkin for a while (plus fruit veggies as snacks/treats) but it was a lot to keep track of

I do! I use the recipe from Just Food for Dogs plus their nutrition powder and omega 3 fish oil. Some of the ingredients are a little tricky to find, but my dog's been loving it!

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

I own a 1973 Chevy nova and and a 1988 Dodge ramcharger. Eventually I want to put a 6.6L duramax in the nova, and make it into a sleeper/fun weekend car, restomod the interior for comfort, convenience and tech etc. Then I want to put a Cummins in the Ramcharger and make it into kind of an overland/back country truck that I can still take down the road to get to the back country. Also restomod it for comfort, convenience and tech. Thoughts ?

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

Hot take: permanent WFH is NOT here to stay and we will all be back in the office by Feb 2021 14 days after you're vaccinated (just like in Contagion).
It's simply impossible to train new staff to the same standard. Juniors do not learn from seeing other people doing things.
