If you want to cook for your dogs, the diet MUST be balanced correctly. The best way to do this is to have a recipe formulated through BalanceIt.com and purchase their supplements to use in order to balance the diet out with all the vitamins/minerals needed for your specific pet. I suggest you refer to their website. ( https://secure.balanceit.com/recipegenerator_ver4/index.php?rotator=EZ )
