I just want to make sure that I am giving them the best, as they deserve it! Also, the different dog food brands always has something that I don't like in them, plus I have no control over the manufacturing process. All this info makes my head spin.
I agree with talking with your vet before making this type of diet change. But, if you do decide to start feeding a home cooked diet you still need to consult with an experienced nutritionist. Most vets have very little education in nutrition and proper balancing of ingredients. Be cautious about feeding any recipe you find online (including on YT) without first running it by your nutritionist. Consultation fees for nutritionists aren't that expensive and they're well worth the cost for your pups' health.
