1. how bout feeding him dog food? dog food is better for him than human food! human food makes dogs fat and unhealthy. dog food is made specifically for a dog's needs. barking is a bad habit that your dog learned and you're just reinforcing it by giving in to him when he barks! ignore him.. let him bark... if you dont respond to his behavior he'll learn it's not an acceptable way to get attention and he'll stop. dont yell at him! dogs dont understand that you're mad... all they know is that you responded by giving them attention when they barked
2. Dogs need much more than that. If you are going to give him rice, give him plain rice, not cooked with salt or seasoning. You can cook it with plain chicken broth. It might help just mixing some of that with regular dog fodd. You can get dog food samples sometimes at the Pet Store. DOGS SHOULD NOT DRINK MILK they cannot digest it properly. You should really consider taking your dog to the Vet. The Vet will be able to help you as far as nutrtion goes. Dogs needs vitamins just like us. You can't just feed him those for things. As far as him not liking dog food....Just because your dog wants sometimes doesn't mean that he can have it.
3. This not a complete or nutritionally sound diet for a dog. Many essential nutrients missing and you will become a very good customer at the vet down the road if you continue. I reccomend a great holistic food that my four dogs have been eating now for 9 months and their health and vitality have improved in many ways. Their skin and coat are also shiny and lush. Go to my source and watch the video clip about dog food. You will learn alot about pet nutrition and then choose a good holistic food and stick with it. Your dog will eventually eat what you give him you just have to tough it out to do what is best for him. The great thing about this food from my source is that not only is it nutritionally complete but it is fresh, made within 6 weeks of your order and ships directly to your door so you know that it is safe-was not included in any of the recalls as this company has very strict controls on manufacture and ingredients. Give it a try I highly reccommend it.
4. Yes you can feed your dog meat and rice. My brother feeds his Pom chicken and rice or hamburg and rice, the vet suggested it when he was having terrible food allergies. The same vet told my brother the dog had 6 months to live.. well 7 years later the dog is still going strong and is still eating his rice with chicken or hamburg. So yes they can live on it.
5. Yes you can feed your dog that diet. There is nothing wrong with a natural diet but you do have to give them some other supplements if you go down that track. When a friend's dog got an internal infection, the vet made her feed him cooked (boiled) chicken and rice, because that is what the dog could cope with. I feed my dog a combination of foods, as I want to get a balanced diet and don't believe that just processed food is good. If you are not going to feed dog food, there are some vitamins and vegetables that you will also have to give your dog, so that he gets everything he needs. Also, when my dog was a pup, I did feed her lactose free milk for several months while she was growing and this was recommended to me. Dogs do not cope well with normal milk due to the latose so you do have to get lactose free milk. These are two great websites that give you information on a natural diet, please read these before you make your mind up. http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/health/diet2.htm and http://www.drianbillinghurst.com/ or http://www.barfworld.com/
