The ingredients are okay but watch the fat content in the meat. You might want to stick with lean boneless skinless chicken breast or turkey breast for now. You need to add a source of linoleic to the diet (olive or canola oil is fine). It is best to have a recipe formulated by a nutritionist so that you aren't giving too much fat, etc. A multi regular multi vitamin is nowhere near enough and does not balance the diet. If you are feeding more than 10% homecooked, a nutritionist really should be consulted about supplementation. You can also use Balance It (balanceit.com) but the regular product for dogs does contain menadione which is controversial. You could talk to them about using Balance IT K which seems to be better.
