Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 28 days old | 19.842 lbs
I only have access to pedigree in my country and it's reviews are bad for puppies and i literally have no other choice. So i give her mashed up corn cooked with water and chicken leg and head and liver, only 5% of her total meal. I don't cook the chicken head and leg I just smoke it on the stove. Is this diet healthy and enough? She eats 5 leg and head and about as much corn as she can. She normally leaves some food in her bowl if she is full.

Hello there. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Pedigree is not the most premium food but it is not the worst. I have seen many dogs thrive on it. I really don't think you need to add in the other items but as long as she is not overweight I do not see the harm in it since it is only 5% of the meal. You didn't mention if you are giving her the chicken bone - if you are, I don't recommend you do this. Just give the meat only. It sounds like you are doing just fine. Just monitor her weight. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes!
