Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You absolutely can. However, this ends up being quite expensive and time consuming. If doing this you would have to make sure that you are feeding Izzy all the important and crucial nutrients. There are several books out there such as the "the whole pet diet". I suggest reading a book and more information on this subject before starting. Good luck on this journey!
