I have been feeding my puppy royal canine maxi starter 3-4 times a day. Can I start giving him home meals like rice, mashed veggies, boiled eggs now? Rocky is about 3 months old.

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. I would recommend keeping Rocky on a balanced puppy food such as Royal Canin or Science Diet. If you want to cook a home diet, I recommend using ( www.balanceit.com ). Please let me know if you have any further questions and I would be more than happy to help you further.
