Recipe: High Fiber Homemade Dog Food
If your dog receives too much fiber in his diet, it may make it hard for his body to absorb minerals. If the balance of fiber in the diet is off, your dog may suffer from diarrhea, urgency to defecate, defecating in the house or increased frequency of bowel movements.
For these reasons, it’s imperative that you talk with your veterinarian or a canine nutritionist before switching your dog’s diet. Whether you’re considering a high fiber homemade dog food or a commercial high fiber food, you should consult an expert before making the change.
