You need to know you are getting some false information here. you CANNOT give a dog a human vitamin and assume you are covering your basis. Dog nutrition is COMPLETELY different from human and your dog will be lacking many many things which will not cause any issues right away but in the long run you will have some MAJOR issues.

Layla's diet was created by a nutritionist as she has pancreas issues. If you dog is completely healthy you COULD do as the second poster mentioned- use Dr Pitcairn's book to create your meals. He has MANY diets already created and you make up your own supplement. I would just make sure that his diets are in accordance with the AAFCO.

Home cooking is GREAT but not something that can be taken lightly or done without thought. Dog nutrition is much more complicated than human nutrition and you really really need to do your research.
