You could add some meat or chicken to your puppies dog food but your puppy needs to have some dog food because it is nutritionally balanced for a puppy. Feeding just meat/ chicken and rice is not recommended because your puppy would not be getting the proper nutrition. If you want to use a home made recipe than you should use the website called balance it to make the diet nutritionally balanced for a growing puppy.
