Are the beans and spinach OK to use if my sausage suffers with a sensitive gut and colitis. I don't want to blow his tummy up.

Also can I replace with something like ostrich as he is allergic to chicken and I was told to use a novel protein.
Can I mix in some brown rice.

He weights 10 kgs and needs to be about 7 or 8 kgs

Thanks so much

Not sure how much to feed him

He also suggers from constipation so I give him butternut, sweet potato, carrot and physilium husk. I hope its not all too much of a mix

Hello! If your pup is allergic to fish, you can replace the cod with another lean protein like skinless chicken breast, turkey breast, or even ground white meat turkey. These options are low in fat and work well for weight loss recipes. Just ensure you adjust the amount to keep the protein levels balanced with the rest of the ingredients.
