We'll have to wait for NoBoDe to explain, but from my reading the dog had a fair amount of cottage cheese etc. which would have been protein - nuts, too, contain protein. My little cat was a pure meat-eater, kangaroo meat it was and never a lot - she was a moderate eater and she ate slowly - always slim, never ill - perhaps a lesson to be learnt for us humans, too.The latest addition to my family is grand-dog 'Ziggi' - belongs to one of my daughters, a mini Schnauzer and she regularly gets raw broccoli stalks, loves them, but has the usual mix of dried pet food and 'sausage' meat - and the odd bit of cheese.
I am happy to just be dog-sitting now and then, would not want the constant worry and care of a resident dog or cat - they do tie one down.
Have just done a 4-week stint of puppy-sitting and found myself missing her - still do, but it is an extra responsibility.
go well
