In a recent local magazine, this (not local) article highlights how easy it is to make your own dog food. This is not a board certified vet nutritionist and this recipe is not balanced. Please do not use this recipe.
We understand the growing interest in making your own pet food. There are some websites that are "vetted" that we recommend:
animaldietformulator.com
BalanceIT.com
MixitPet.com
This biggest challenge is not "getting lazy" over time and leaving out some ingredients or switching to something cheaper or easier to find.
Please remember, the more you change your pet's food, the pickier they get. The more people food you feed them, the less dog food they eat. High quality dry dog food is not glamorous, but it is well balanced and dogs don't need variety in their diets... in fact, their guts do better with the same food every day.
