Well, technically, a dog can eat a whole bunch of things on the same day! But the better question is SHOULD they eat all of those things. I prefer my patients to be an a commercial dog food for 90% of their caloric intake. This ensures that they are taking in a balanced diet. When you start to add chicken or vegetables to their diet and feed less of the dog food, they may not be taking in the correct amount of vitamins and minerals that their bodies need. It is also very easy to feed too many calories if you add these foods to their normal dog food. If you would prefer to feed a homemade diet (for either part of Soska's meals or all the time), I recommend using BalanceIT to make a balanced diet that contains added nutrients. https://secure.balanceit.com/
