Of course it's fine to give Stormy an occasional taste of chicken or egg you make for your family along with her kibble. Just make sure you never feed her fatty meats like bacon, sausage or ham that can trigger pancreatitis or human foods that are toxic to dogs like grapes or onions. |
I agree- you need to supplement if home cooking is going to be more than 20% of her diet.
