I don’t think my dog (a 11 lb 10 mo old Maltipom) is getting proper nutrition. Trying to feed human food or raw frozen/and dehydrated. Eats muscle meats ok, a few vegies, cheese, egg occasionally, a bit of raw milk and kefir. Doesn’t like raw bones either, so not much calcium. Would like to supplement her with calcium/magnesium, enzymes, fish and flax oils. Think good, or some others possibly? Thanks!

Getting a homemade recipe that is balanced for dogs is very difficult, but I will give you a link to a website that gives recipes for balanced and nutritious meals for dogs. It's run by the UC Davis veterinary school, and is an excellent resource:
