Great question! The person who told you dairy products are not good for dogs is correct. It's never recommended to give dogs dairy products because it causes GI upset. As for home made foods, your friend is also correct they typically aren't good for dogs. That's because that many home made diets are not nutritionally balanced, and your dog won't be getting all the nutrients they need. I personally recommend feeding a dog formulated food, but if you want to feed a homemade diet, I will put links to two websites below that have recipes for homemade dog foods that are nutritionally balanced. I hope this helps :-) https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
