Is my homemade dog food providing enough protein for my 70lb dog?

It depends entirely on what the caloric content and nutrient content of your food is, and that can vary so widely I can't give you an amount to feed.

Pete is a cutie! Individual pets' protein requirements will vary depending on their health status. For example, very active working dogs may need a higher-protein diet than a normal household dog. Also, pets with kidney disease or other health conditions may need a protein restricted diet. If Pete is an average healthy pet dog any dog food that is labeled for maintenance feeding will be adequate. This is a great resource from the FDA explaining pet food labeling: https://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/resourcesforyou/ucm047120.htm Please remember to transition your dog slowly over five to seven days whenever changing the diet. If Pete has specific health conditions such as food allergies or kidney disease, please consult with your veterinarian before changing his diet.

I calculate that an average caloric intake for an 85# active dog is around 1900 calories a day. Of course all metabolisms are slightly different. Balanceit.com is a great resource to help guide you nutritionally. Good luck and happy cooking!
