On Grains and Legumes

Some people will tell you that grains are not good for dogs and that they need meat. I wouldnt support that statement. In fact, dogs can do without meat and gain all their nutrition from grains and vegetables(with eggs and milk, of course...and a calcium or multi vitamin supplement).

Some grains to make their porridge with milk/curd and veggies...maybe a cooked egg.

Rice
Barley
Ragi
Corn meal
Rava(sooji)
Oats

Soy flakes are also a great source of protein, but this is not for everyday meals.

Chapatis are fine as long as they are not fed too much as it can get pasty in their stomachs. No Naans or anything that has a leavening agent or baking soda/powder.

Dogs love pasta! Once a week, a nice macaroni bake with cheese and eggs with veggies(of course) will make them very happy!

With rice, cooked and mashed moong dhal or toor dhal can be added along with vegetables nd rice for a wholesome meal. A dash of curd wont hurt either. If the dog is a meat eater, a little bit of meat with occasional organ meats over the week will take care of the dog's needs. A spoon of powdered eggshells will take care of the calcium. Otherwise, calcium tablets or bone meal tablets are available in medical/wholefoods/pet stores. This along with a multi vitamin should take care of the necessary supplements. In my opinion, multivitamins and calcium as tablets shouldnt be overdone.

Beans can also be included...channa, rajma,split pea etc.
