Must have meal for a Indian Pariah

Indian Pariahs should be fed a balanced diet with high-quality protein (like chicken or fish), whole grains (such as rice or oats), and vegetables (like carrots or peas). They should have 2 meals a day, with portions adjusted based on their size, activity level, and health needs to ensure they stay healthy and energetic.


What to avoid?

Most commercial dog food contains fillers like grains and soy which can be difficult for them to digest and may cause allergies. Choose dog food that is made with whole, natural ingredients and free from unnecessary additives.

Organic homely food that your pet might love

Organic home-cooked meals for Indian Pariahs should include lean proteins, whole grains, and vegetables. Avoid salt and additives. Ensure a balanced diet with proper protein, fats, carbohydrates, and essential nutrients. Adjust portions based on the dog's size and activity level, and consult a vet for optimal nutrition.

Two must follow steps for home cooked food

  1. Preparing home-cooked meals may be time-consuming and nutritionally incomplete, consider adding dog food toppers or supplements to make up for the lack of nutrients
  2. Indian Pariahs need Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and joint health. These essential fats also help reduce inflammation and boost overall immune function.
