Why A Homemade Diet is Ideal for Tilly

1. YOU Have Full Control Over Ingredients
With homemade meals, you choose exactly what goes into her body—no hidden allergens, fillers, or low-quality meat meals. This helps you eliminate common triggers like wheat, corn, soy, dairy, and excess starch, all of which can aggravate:

- Yeast infections (red ears, foot biting)
- Digestive upset (burping, mucus in stool)
- Immune dysfunction

 

2. Easier on the Digestive System

Homemade food can be tailored to include easily digestible proteins (like turkey or whitefish), gentle cooked vegetables, and gut-soothing additions like parsley. When paired with digestive enzymes and probiotics, this helps reduce:

- Burping and regurgitation
- Gas and bloating
- Overgrowth of Clostridium and yeast

 

3. Better Support for Gut Healing

Commercial foods—especially kibble—often contain high heat-processed ingredients and binders that can inflame the gut lining. Homemade meals allow the use of whole foods and fresh, anti-inflammatory ingredients like:

- Lean proteins
- Steamed non-starchy vegetables
- Healthy oils (like olive or fish oil)


These work with supplements (like Gut Soothe) to rebuild gut health and reduce long-term inflammation.
 

4. Reduces Yeast Overgrowth

Yeast feeds on carbs and sugars—common in even “natural” kibble. Homemade meals are naturally low in starch and sugar, which:

- Starves yeast
- Improves ear and skin issues
- Helps eliminate paw biting and redness

 

5. More Appealing to a Picky Eater

Tilly doesn’t like her current kibble but prefers real food—homemade meals are much more palatable and satisfying. When dogs enjoy their meals, stress decreases, digestion improves, and they’re more likely to thrive.
