I also should have said the loose stool issue i experience was when it was just our westie and we had him on completely cooked food because we couldn't find a kibble at the time yet that agreed with his allergies and body. but since then that has changed and we have 2 kibbles now that work with him we just want to do a little cook for them during the day. as even studies have shown that dry kibble from the store is not 100% nutritional filling as it should be, so that's why we just want to give them the best.
I understand why you want to do this but you can cause more harm than good by not doing it the right way. You can cause skeletal problems or problems with the organs by not feeding a balanced diet' you need a recipe from a nutritionist
