Great question! It is very hard to get the correct balanced diet for a dog from homemade food, so I recommend checking out these two websites below for recipes. They provide balanced and nutritious meals for dogs, and one of the sites has recipes from a veterinary nutritionist. I hope this helps :-) https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
