I strongly recommend consulting with a veterinary nutritionist before doing a home made diet. If you do not have one available to you, then a website such as https://secure.balanceit.com/recipegenerator_ver4/index.php? would be helpful. Many homemade diets are not balanced and can cause health issues due to malnutrition. Good luck and thank you for using Petcoach.
