Hello, yes your dog needs a balanced diet that includes other sources of protein, fat, carbohydrates, essential minerals and essential vitamins. You may find these well balanced in commercial diets most often. If you wish to continue feeding other things than dog food, you can supplement these on her food. If you would like to cook for her, then you can refer to the balanceit.com website to formulate a diet which you can then cook at home for her. Hope this helps and best of luck.
