Description

Homemade or commercial—if you’re not meeting energy needs, you’re starving the micros. Vet Dr. Susan Recker breaks down energy requirements, why “feeding less than the bag” makes synthetic-balanced foods micronutrient-deficient, and how to fix DIY diets with Animal Diet Formulator (ADF). We cover common homemade pitfalls (iodine, manganese, vitamin E, choline, zinc), a simple vet checklist, and practical targets for balanced raw or cooked meals.
