It looks like you're using a LOT of veggies, which could be quite hard for them to digest. Then you add in the beans - and it might be quite a gas-producing combo there. I would add veggies in slowly, even one at time, pulverized is best. IF you steam them, you'd need to add the lost nutrients back in, if you feed them raw and pulverize, then you keep the nutrients.

You must supplement w/ calcium - I use Solid Gold's Bone Meal. You also want a multi vit/mineral, digestive enzymes, EFAs, and probioitics. I use this one: http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/produc...at/999065.aspx

Do you have just one recipe or do you mix it up? I would like to change to homecooking and I am looking for examples to try out. I am a little nervous about my furbabe not getting enough nutrients
