I to use a homemade diet for my dogs 2 borders and 1 morkie.
The new diet has made my dogs coats become wonderful and the itchy skin on one of the borders has almost stopped. I also use Dr Pitcairn's book to create my meals. I find the supplements at the health food store and I bake the chicken for them, pick it and then I bake the rice in the juice ( I add lots of water when baking) they love it
It looks so good that one day my DH came in for lunch and had it on his plate

I had to tell him it was for the dogs but I did get a good laugh out of it for some time
