This recipe contains healthy ingredients and a few supplements to create a balanced recipe adhering to Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) standards. These are the pet food standards often used in the United States, and your vet may ask you if your dog’s diet is balanced to these standards.

This recipe is only one example of the flexibility, simplicity and nutritional benefits of using real food to nourish your dog!

Considering the realities of life, it may not be possible to feed a totally 100% balanced recipe every single day. But this is something to strive for, and fill in with supplements along the way. And, if you are using a mix of commercial food and homemade, the commercial food will most likely be enriched with vitamins and minerals as well.

This sample recipe will last a 50 pound, adult dog almost 3 days, assuming this is all you are feeding. If you are feeding other items, you will need to adjust the amounts.
