Hi there! It's certainly possible to feed Ziva a home-cooked diet if you want to, but it's almost impossible to correctly formulate this yourself without help - especially for a growing puppy. I recommend using a website called balanceit.com, which uses formulas set up by a veterinary nutritionist to help you put together a complete and balanced diet using whatever ingredients you choose.
