This would not be a complete diet for Peanut and would not meet all her nutritional needs. I'd recommend a high quality dog food like Hill's Science Diet or Royal Canin. If you really want to home cook for Peanut you can look into balanceit.com for nutritionally balanced home cooked options. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
