Hi Keith! Thanks for your questions. We’re no experts so we recommend you discuss specifics with your vet first. Subbing a few eggs for liver is probably fine, but its not recommended to make eggs your main protein source as its higher in fats. We’ve read that lots of folks will use vitamin supplements in their dog foods, but we’ve never used them for Kacang. Can’t speak to the brewers yeast either. We prefer to use whole foods and keep things simple when making her food and pairing homecooked meals with some kibble helps us feel like she’s not missing out too much on anything important and any huge negatives will be, well, negated. So far, this has seemed to work really well for her. Sorry to not be of more help!

Hi Lucy, we’re no experts, so we really recommend talking to your vet and figuring out the best plan for your lab. Likely, the plan will be to slowly change his diet in addition to getting him more active. Assuming you’re not giving him extra treats or food already, the easiest way would be to use a weight-loss oriented kibble as the main feed. If you’re making his food, that will take a lot more planning. You’ll want to lessen any extra fats or swap them for healthier fats (like instead of chicken fat, use coconut oil). You could also lessen the quantity you’re giving him slowly over time, so for the first week, just take out a spoonful or .5g less. Then the next week, again less a spoonful or .5g. Add more activities to his day. We were always told that there’s no exact science to dog nutrition, so the best you can do is keep an eye on his weight and energy level and stop the changes when he gets to a healthy place. Don’t do anything too drastic and just build on small changes. Best of luck!
