In my home, my dogs have a specific meal regimen. In the morning, they get a vegetarian dry food (due to skin allergies), with frozen peas and carrots added. I add hot water to their bowls and add their mix ins. Their mix ins include, bee pollen, allergy meds, (pebbles medication for her Addison's disease) and a tsp of coconut oil. Once the food has absorbed most of the water, I add 1 sachet of probiotics to each bowl and stir it up. If added too early, the heat will kill the bacteria in the probiotic. In the evening, they just get the food, peas and carrots, and hot water. All the add ins are for breakfast only. The measurements are 2 scoops of dry food, 2 scoops of veggies, and just enough hot water to barely cover the food. I'm am very easily adaptable and can follow any meal regimen left for me to follow.
