They need to eat more wet because it's about 75% moisture.

That aside, this would be extremely dangerous to feed long-term. It is not balanced even with a multivitamin. There is really only one vitamin supplement made for homecooking (Balance IT). If that isn't used, then a combination of different vitamins and minerals will be necessary. An unbalanced diet can lead to blood, bone, and heart problems just to name a few. It is best to talk to a veterinary nutritionist and get a recipe from them. When dealing with a puppy and their needs, then a nutritionist is a necessity.

It's a great thing to do if you have the time and energy, but things can go terribly wrong very quickly if it is not done right.
