How to make a nutritionally complete grain-free home diet for my dog?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 50 lbs

Hi, I'm looking to switch my dogs to a grain free home cooked diet. I've been trying to do as much research as I can to ensure they are getting all of their nutrients but I'm a bit overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed. Is there a basic daily meal plan that I could follow and add supliments to ensure they are getting everything they need? Thank you in advance for your help!

I agree that home cooking is hard! I have a great resource that might be helpful for you. Many of my clients have used and like the site. You can plug in your recipe and they will guide you with what you are missing etc.
