We have a new Yorkie and are researching how best to feed him. We came across a good link that rates the commercial dog foods already out there: http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/best-dog-foods/.

After reading that, we started looking into home cooked recipes, but came across the following article that says that 85% of cooked recipes are not balanced: http://news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=10666. We actually contacted the folks at UC Davis, but their reply was they couldn't just share one of the recipes that was accurate; We would have to go through a process to meet with one of their veterinary nutritionists and draw up a customized recipe for my dog's needs. We still might do this. But wanted to share what We've found so far. If anyone has any of the "winning" recipes, We'd love to see it!

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I am trying out home cooking using balanceit.com recipes and when I find one my dogs likes I will be buying there supplement that you mix into the food and that will balance it.
