Is feeding my dog only cooked meat safe? What about homemade meals?

Question

Hi, I was wondering if it is safe to feed my dog just cooked meat? If not what can I add to feed him a fresh cooked meal? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 50 lbs

No, meat is not a balanced diet. Even raw meat is not balanced. Balancing a home made diet is difficult and is not recommended unless you work with a veterinary nutritionist. When online, home made recipes where tested, 97% were found to be unbalanced and lacking in 1 or more essential nutrients. Unless you plan on working with a nutritionist, I recommend to feed a normal commercial diet that is AAFCO certified. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
