It should be noted that a homemade diet is not a balanced diet for long-term use, and although is not likely to cause a problem for the trial period of 1-2 weeks it should not be fed long term. A nutritionist should be consulted if it is decided to continue with a home-produced diet to ensure that it is nutritionally balanced and contains all the necessary components. Prescription renal diets are a nutritionally balanced alternative. With other foods it is important to looks for those which contain a good-quality protein in conservative amounts with a carbohydrate source which is easily digestible. Canned foods generally have fewer, or no preservatives and dry foods generally have most preservatives. If behaviour deteriorates when a commercial formulation is reintroduced other problems apart from solely the protein content should be considered.
