Good question. You should always follow the guidelines of a dog cookbook or online recipe source for that information. Here are two websites that should be able to get you off to the right track towards home cooked diets that are well balanced for your pet https://secure.balanceit.com/tools/ez2/index.php? https://www.petdiets.com/Homemade-Diets Best wishes.
