I think its great fun making food for pets. I do something like above but everything is cooked seperate without boiling it all in water. For more balance I sometimes add in cranberries or scrambled egg and fish. I only occasionally make homemade food since my animals are living at my mom's house while I'm in college and she isn't going to make all sorts of homemade food for them, but I intend to switch fully when I'm done with school. I hope this dog makes a quick recovery.
