Note
*The ratio of the meat, vegetables and starch depends on the dog's needs but the basic rule is 40% meat, 30% vegetables and 30% starch.
Also, you should use at least three different vegetables. It is also a good idea to add a supplement like brewer's yeast or kelp depending on your dog's needs.
I often combine a little dry dog food with my homemade batch so as not to shock my dog. Please consult your vet before you introduce homemade dog food for the first time.
