Please help.

Hello. well frist he needs a suppliement if you are going to home cook. If you have a quality locally owned pet store around they usually carry suppliements. If you can get the Solid Gold Seameal.. it's great.
You should probably give him more of a varitey of meat.. i just went to the grocery store yesterday and bought Layla some ground lamb, ground veal and ground extra lean beef. And veggies are VERY important... but they need to be raw and kinda ground up... carrots are very important and you can add other veggies like broccoli, cauliflour, celery.... and if you are going to give him a grain (not needed but you can) try to not give him white rice.. it has very little nutritional value but brown rice is great or potaote, or sweet potatoe

and if you decdied to homecook for a while.. i suggest that after 6 months you go to the vet to get a blood panel just to make sure he is not lacing in a certain nutrient! good luck! homecooking is great
