Question

Okay I have a couple of questions. So I make homemade dog food and normally mix it with a little kibble. I always used a little kibble as I’m afraid he’s not getting enough nutrients (I can give the recipe of the homemade food and get your input). So how do I ensure he gets enough nutrients? Also do you add rice or some type of grain to your homemade food?My other question. Is about grain free food and the linkage of it with DCM. The peas, sweet potatoes and legumes are supposedly what causes DCM as it slows down the absorption of taurine. However, if this is the case, why isn’t it talked about when adding these same foods (peas, sweet potato, legumes) into homemade dog food? Doesn’t really make sense to me.

My homemade dog food recipe: Homemade dog food * 7 lbs 90% lean ground beef , or lean ground turkey or chicken * 1.5 cup hempseeds, or 1/3 cup hempseed oil * 16 oz canned sardines in water * 4 tsp ground ginger * 4 tsp kelp powder * 8 eggs, pasture raised * 4 egg shells * 15 oz pumpkin puree * 8 oz beef liver, 12 oz if using ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef * 8 oz broccoli * 8 oz spinach * 8 oz red bell pepper
