I had a somewhat similar experience. Joey had a seizure which I correlate to taking Simparica. He looked terrible so took him to the vet when the first seizure happened and he was late Stage 2. Put him on Royal Canin kidney kibble and Hills kidney wet food and 4 years later he has only had 1 more seizure and his kidney values have remained constant. I will believe your homemade version is most likely better if you have the correct proportions. All the best to your Bs! Joey will be 15 in November.
Goats Milk?

A question for the experts….what are your feelings on raw goat milk as a supplement for lactating bitches? Our shepherd breeder swears by it and some of what I have read looks promising. We are currently feeding Phoenix about 1 cup of Orijen six fish, 38% protein and very high in good fatty acids, 1/5 cup of raw Sojos veggies and fruits, 1/3 cup of raw quail with ground bone, twice daily.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have never used goat's milk, but I know some breeders that have. For my bitches with pups I use cottage cheese lots for the fat content… And I do a semi raw with high quality kibble, 99% of the time no grains.

Thank you!

I used to give my Bs goat's milk yogurt and they liked it.

I am a bit confused about raw goat milk in GA. I remember not that many years ago looking into it for making butter and being told it was illegal to buy it. So I went to look and I guess you can buy it for your dog, but I do admit that the issues with raw would have me not thinking any benefits were worth the risk to my bitch.
