Hi there! It's certainly possible to feed Titus a homemade diet long-term if you want to - but you do need to be sure that what you're feeding him is complete and balanced. This can be more complicated than it sounds, so it's hard to give a good answer here - especially since he has some health conditions to take into account. I really like the website www.balanceit.com for clients who want to feed a home-cooked diet to their pets. It's run by a veterinary nutritionist, and will walk you through how to put together a balanced diet for Titus.
