Good for you. Keep reading on the subject. I use a 70%/20%/10% mix of meat, veggie/fruit, carb. Hope you didn’t revert back to bag food.

Good job. As I’ve also discovered, making chow isn’t rocket science (although the pet food industry wants owners to think this). The key is in remembering dogs are dogs and while most human foods can be used, they need a dog-proportioned diet.

I’ve made my own dog food for 2 years and my mutt is absolutely thriving. His coat is extraordinarily shiny and he has lots of energy. He rarely scratches nor gnaws himself. His stools are regular and consistent. A big improvement over expensive kibbles.

Eliminate the oats …
Eliminate the oats entirely. Use potatoes - skins and all instead. Also, the healthiest dogs I have ever owned or seen eat raw meat and eggs. No need to cook it. Their natural diet is raw meat. Have you ever seen a wolf barbequeing it’s prey? You are using too mch organ meat. That much is not good for them. I like your idea of using egg shells. I hadn’t thought of that.

I would eliminate …
I would eliminate the grain. Grain is not a part of a dogs natural diet. It’s filler. But at least oats is better than corn. I don’t know why you would only feed them this “temporarily.” Maybe you meant to say that you alterate this with commercial food. My son is a veterinarian. Remember, pet food companies give vet schools tons of money and they brainwash vet students. The most advertised brands of commercial food (Benefil, Iams, Eukinuba, etc.) are total crap. They are the worst.

I like the cook’s attitude as well as the recipe. Thanks so much. What, if any, vitamins do you give your dogs?

I have been doing this sort of diet for my dog since she was a pup, and she loves and and the vet says she looks great. I mix up the meat weekly (chicken liver, ground turkey, ground beef, etc….)I make it all in the weekend and then refrigerate it till we needed. I totally recommend the 5 extra minutes for your dogs health.

Very good!
But I would cut down on the meat to %20
and no eggs, don’t want clogged arteries.
