I agree with Mia C - you need to know what you're doing when you feed home-made.





My dogs have been on home-made for about 9 months now and are thriving on it. There's an excellent book out for anyone interested in feeding home-made (with raw meat) - Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats.





It's got lots of recipes, as well as all the additives you need and what each one is for. If you decide to feed home-made, you're responsible for making sure your dog gets a complete diet. This book will make sure you're giving him that.





It has a lot more info on dog care than nutrition, that's just the best reason to get this book.What are some good homemade dog food recipes?
You need to do a looot of research before switching your dog to a home cooked diet.





It's not just chopping up cooked chicken and tossing it with some vegetables and rice. Most homemade/home cooked recipes are seriously lacking in balance due to the fact that people don't go beyond a cooked chicken breast and a few vegetables. They don't stop to think, hey, maybe he needs more of what he would eat in the wild? And therein lies the delicate balance of organ meat, vitamins, carbs and fruits and veggies.





A few rules of advice:





1. Meat and organs come first. Always!


2. You may need to settle on a diet of 75% home cooked and 25% kibble, high quality kibble is balanced for the most part and you may need to rely on the kibble to balance the diet and fill in the gaps for any nutritional deficiencies.


3. Go easy on the carbs. Dogs really don't need rice or potatoes or wheat, they metabolize things differently but carbs do add bulk to their diet and their stools.


4. Buy books! You cannot do enough research, really!





Good luck, this is not a subject to be taken lightly.
i like to give my dogs a nice mixture of beef and rice also a boiled egg either full boiled or just enough that it is still liquid but almost to the fully boiled side.the egg helps them alot. also buying a couple of pounds from the market of chicken and putting them in a pot of hot water and let sit then they can eat
There are some recipes in here.

don't let the gross name fool you! :0)





There is also the raw diet, also known as the B.A.R.F. diet that you should look into. Here is a good page with information on getting started on it.

I have 2 Welsh border collies and find a good diet to be:-





Breakfast: tinned fish (omega 3 for joints)





Main meal: mince, gravy wholemeal dried dog food as mixer.





They're both 7 years old and run about 30 miles a day.
Take a good tenderloin, sear it and serve.








--make sure you don't use a chocolate sauce.
