It can also be cooked to the point of being pretty soft, so it might work well for your little guy! You might want to mince up the chicken more if it's not ground sufficiently and I'd maybe just simmer/cook for an extended amount of time beyond what the recipe calls for to make it very soft.
Also, for a second opinion on feeding your pup a homemade diet, I would definitely check out Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats. I agree you have to be careful to provide a balanced diet, but I would absolutely question your vet dismissing homemade food out of hand like that. Dr. Pitcairn's book provides a lot of ideas and info for balanced, whole food diets for dogs and he's a trusted source (in my opinion). |
The problem with your link is it says nothing about the supplements that need to be added. I have seen dogs eat home cooked food without the supplements and end up losing all their teeth and having very brittle bones. It’s much better to use either a vet nutritionist who can tell you what supplements need to be added or something like balance it or just food for dogs. I noticed in the link she said balance it was great for lots of recipes but those are made to use their supplements with them and are not just magically balanced without them.
