When making homemade dog food, keep in mind that most breeds need a diet that contains of 40 percent meat; 30 percent vegetables and 30 percent starch. Follow this formula and your dog may be eating a more well-balanced diet than you!
Canned dog foods generally have more fillers than homemade varieties, so most dogs transition well. Since dogs use their sense of smell most to determine what they will and will not eat, fresh home made dog foods are often preferred by most pets compared to their manufactured counterparts. There are a few important things to remember though, when making your pet's food:
It may take a few tries to find the recipe your pet enjoys most. Finicky eaters especially may require a little kitchen experimenting to find the best mix.
Use ground turkey instead of ground beef when possible - it's leaner and healthier
Liver, kidneys and eggs are excellent nutritional sources for dogs
Start with a basic mix of ground turkey, rice and carrots. Most dogs love it!
Offer your dog a variety of foods to ensure they are getting all of the nutrients they need
Consider crushing a dog vitamin in their food
Eggshells have a lot of vitamins in them. Finely crush one in your dog's food when available.
Most pet owners switch their dogs to home made dog food in an attempt to give them a safer, more nutritional food supply. But, there are some dangers to doing it yourself. Here are some things to watch out for when preparing your dog's next meal:
Cook all meat thoroughly. Dogs can get e-coli too!
While a small amount of cooked garlic is a natural flea repellent, experts warn that raw and spoiled garlic is toxic to most dogs!
Never feed your dog chocolate!
Only keep precooked meals for three days, than toss the leftovers!

2 1/2 cups flour (wheat is probably better!)
water

1 egg, beaten
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup wheat germ
3 cups whole wheat flour

Mix well. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead 3-4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make very stiff dough. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
