| No it isn't. But a vet nutritionist should balance the food for you. BalanceIt.com offers a free recipe but you will need your vet's approval. I've fed my dogs home cooked food since they were puppies.

It's especially important w/ young puppies whose systems are still totally developing to make sure that any home diet is really balanced. Otherwise, you could have serious issues later down the line...

| 107Barney and Wylies Mom hit the nail on the head with concocting your own diet for your pup.....you really must get professional guidance from a vet nutritionist to keep this baby healthy and to be absolutely certain you are providing every aspect of a well formulated diet for this baby. |
