hello I am considering switching my dog food to homecook food. Is it actually better? If I brush her teeth everyday and give her some crunch. And if yes, how much percent of what to give? As I researched for 40%protein,50%vege and 10%starch. Cause many dogs lose allergy, gain weight and is healthier after switching to homecook meals.
