Here is a diet developed by a canine nutritionist who I've recently come across and am liking quite a bit, it provides some guidance (and for me, is much less complicated than Pitcairn) (you can cook the meat if you want, btw, you don't have to do raw): http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/UserFriendlyDiet.pdf

I too had a lot of anxiety when I was homecooking. I then worked w/ a nutritionist and that eased a ton of anxiety, but I already knew then that I eventually wanted to move to raw. She supported that transition as well.
Hope some of this helps, I know how you feel! |
That is a good link! I am going to share it on the Maltese forum I belong to. We have a lot of members who started homecooking during the pet food recall who are not following a recipe and not adding supplements!
I wouldn't homecook if I hadn't run out of commercial food Lady could eat because of all her health problems. If not done right, homecooking can be harmful.
