Default Diet and Finance

Hi, I had changed Bert's (spindle cell sarcoma) diet to feeding him Better by Narure by Pedigree but looking at the dog food analysis website in another thread I suspect that this is not rated very highly although I cannot see this food the other foods by Pedigree come out with one star! I now understand that carbs feed cancer and that I should feed him high protein and low carbs. Would meat and vegetables (with supplements cod liver oil, glucosamine & fish oils) be enough to feed him and would it be okay to cook these as I think he would prefer cooked? I am looking for a good diet which is not expensive as I really don't have a lot of money and it is taking all my money to pay for the surgery he has had so far. What I do have is lots of time and love for Bert so any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

Default Nutrition and Diet

For BERT:
Please check the thread on DIET (Benpaws) I have just listed a number of foods which are great to give dogs with cancer. Lots of options and not a lot of money involved.

Good Luck.

Default Dog foods

When Lucy was diagnosed with cancer my research indicated that grains were bad for dogs as it weakens the immune systems so I switched her diet to a non-grain food (Wilderness Blue) and also to my amazement, she loved raw meat so I just gave her some raw hamburger in with her dry food and she loved it. My vet also recommended the cod liver and fish oils
