Anybody have a homemade dog food recipe?

I currently feed my dogs Innova but I want to switch them to a home-made diet. Not exactly raw, but maybe cooked vegetables, chicken and some type of rice.



I just want to know if you can tell me exactly how much chicken to mix with how much rice. (eg. 2 cups rice to 1/2 cups chicken)



Also, do I have to add any supplements? I currently put a teaspoon of flaxseed and a teaspoon of sunflower oil on their food daily for their coats, but what about other stuff? If you could also tell me how much they cost that would be great. Thanks



P.S, all of my dogs range from 40lbs and up.Anybody have a homemade dog food recipe?
I agree with Showtunes. You need to do research. Here is what I feed my dogs. I ran this by my vet but I would STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU CHECK WITH YOUR OWN VET before feeding them this diet as dogs are different and have different needs.



FOOD

A 12 oz portion is suitable for one day鈥檚 ration for a 20 lb dog.

4 oz (1/2 cup) protein 鈥?any meat, chicken, fish or eggs (all cooked).

4 oz carbohydrate 鈥?for example cooked rice or grains, pasta, cooked cereals such as oatmeal, potatoes or even bread (packed tight when measuring). Dogs do not process fibre as well as humans so I mix white and whole grain.

4 oz vegetables 鈥?any cooked vegetables (obviously not potatoes or other high carbohydrates). Carrots, broccoli, turnips, green peppers, green beans, etc., but not onions which contain high sulfur content which is bad for dogs.

Simply mix the contents together or not as you choose.



While this basic diet is balanced it can be improved by some simple supplements.



SUPPLEMENT

To mix the basic supplement use:

Debittered brewers yeast (B vitamins) - 2 cups

Wheat germ - 1 cup

Desiccated liver powder (A, D and iron) - 1 cup

Bone meal (Ca and P) - 1 cup

Sunflower seeds, ground fine (E and B) - 1 cup

Sodium ascorbate (C) - 陆 cup

Powdered kelp - 录 cup



Mix together and store in a cool dry place (fridge).

To improve the diet quality add 1 tsp of the basic supplement for each 12 oz portion of the food mixture and 1 tsp flax oil.Anybody have a homemade dog food recipe?
It's very difficult to provide dogs with the necessary nutrition on a home made diet. It's more difficult than doing so for a human. You should talk to your dogs' vet about their health and their specific needs and your vet can suggest foods that will provide all the necessary nutrients.Anybody have a homemade dog food recipe?
Research research research.

Not exactly sure of what it is you looking for, but Rachel Ray often puts some in her magazines. You might try looking her up on her website.
