Homemade Diet for Puppies
Creating a suitable homemade diet for a puppy requires attention and knowledge of their specific nutritional needs.
Here are some key steps to ensure you provide your puppy with everything they need to grow up healthy and strong:
Consult a Veterinarian
Before starting any homemade diet, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian. The vet can offer personalized advice based on the breed, weight, health conditions, and specific needs of your puppy.
2. Nutritional Balance
Puppies need a balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Make sure the diet includes:
High-quality proteins: lean meats, fish, eggs.
Healthy fats: fish oils, olive oil, coconut oil.
Digestible carbohydrates: brown rice, sweet potatoes, vegetables.
Vitamins and minerals: puppy-specific supplements may be necessary.
You can find more information and a list of ingredients by continuing to read about the homemade diet for adult dogs.
3. Portions and Meal Frequency
Puppies grow quickly and need to eat more frequently compared to adults:
Provide small, frequent meals (3-4 times a day).
Help the puppy eat correctly: in the very early months of weaning, food should be minced to assist the dog during the teething period.
Adjust portions according to the puppy's growth and activity.
Ensure the right caloric intake, which in the case of a puppy is much higher than that needed by an adult dog. You can use this table with the indicative caloric intake for the puppy:

4. Variation and Rotation of Ingredients
Introducing a variety of foods can prevent allergies and nutritional deficiencies:
Vary the sources of protein and carbohydrates.
Gradually introduce new foods to monitor for any allergic reactions.
5. Gradual Transition
If the puppy is accustomed to commercial food, transition gradually to homemade food: start by mixing a small amount of homemade food with the usual one. Gradually increase the amount of homemade food over the course of a week.
Important – Monitor the puppy's weight and overall health: ensure they are gaining weight healthily and adjust the diet if you notice digestive issues or changes in behavior.
Homemade Diet for Adult Dogs
Even for adult dogs, it's ideal to consult with a nutritionist before starting a homemade diet.
The veterinarian can provide specific advice based on the nutritional needs, weight, activity level, and health conditions of your dog.
What Should a Dog Eat?
A balanced diet for an adult dog should include:
Proteins: lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs.
Carbohydrates: whole grains, vegetables, legumes.
Fats: healthy oils like fish oil, olive oil, or coconut oil.
Fruits and Vegetables: they provide minerals and vitamins and are a good filler.
Vitamins and Minerals: the diet may need to be supplemented with specific nutrients, based on the veterinarian's recommendations.
Which Proteins to Give to a Dog?
The most common proteins in a dog's diet are:
Chicken
Chicken is a good source of protein and amino acids (arginine, glycine, and methionine) and contains vitamin B3 and other B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc. It also has a low cholesterol content.
It should be served in lean cuts and without skin, preferring boiled and shredded chicken breast. Skin and bones should always be removed, and it's important to monitor the dog's reaction, as many dogs, unfortunately, are allergic to chicken meat.
Beef
Beef is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for growth and maintenance of muscle mass in dogs. It also contains important nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are vital for immune system health, energy production, and cell regeneration.
When feeding beef to your dog, it's crucial to ensure that it's properly cooked to eliminate any harmful bacteria. The meat should be served boiled, and it's important to remove all bones to prevent the risk of choking or internal damage.
Some cuts of beef can be fatty, which can lead to weight issues if not balanced properly. Also, beef is often a cause of allergies or intolerances.
Offal
Offal, which includes internal organs like liver, heart, kidneys, and lungs, are extremely nutritious for dogs. They are rich in proteins, vitamins (such as A, B, D, and E), minerals (iron, zinc, copper), and other essential nutrients not abundantly found in other food sources.
Offal should be fed to dogs in a controlled and balanced way. It's advisable to cook them lightly to kill potentially harmful bacteria, while retaining most of their nutrients.
They should only make up a small percentage of the dog's total diet (often recommended around 10-15%) to avoid an excess of vitamins and minerals, which could be harmful. In particular, an excess of certain vitamins (like vitamin A in liver) can be toxic. Ideally, they should be administered once a week.
Turkey
Turkey is an excellent source of lean protein for dogs, essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. It is also a good source of B vitamins, particularly B3 (niacin) and B6, as well as minerals like selenium and zinc.
These nutrients are important for supporting energy metabolism, skin and coat health, and the immune system's functioning.
When feeding turkey to your dog, it's important to ensure it's cooked without seasonings. The skin and bones of the turkey should be removed before serving.
Fish
Fish is an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, particularly beneficial for the skin and coat health of dogs. It's also a good source of vitamin D and B2 (riboflavin), calcium, phosphorus, and minerals like iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium.
Recommended Types of Fish:
Cod: Lean and easily digestible, great for dogs with food sensitivities.
Haddock: Similar to cod, it is a good source of low-fat protein.
Salmon: Rich in omega-3s, supports skin, coat, and joint health.
Mackerel: Another excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Sardines: Generally safe as they are caught young and thus have lower risks of heavy metal accumulation.
Fish should always be cooked without salt, onion, garlic, or other seasonings harmful to dogs. Make sure to remove all bones to prevent the risk of choking or internal damage.
Some fish may contain high levels of mercury and other heavy metals, so choose only high-quality products. It's essential to cook fish properly to avoid the risk of parasites.
Be cautious with shellfish, which are not toxic, but should be administered cautiously. Read here!
Rabbit
Rabbit meat is an excellent source of lean protein, essential for the health and well-being of dogs. It's rich in B vitamins, particularly B12, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium. Rabbit meat is known for being easily digestible and can be a good choice for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to more common protein sources.
Rabbit meat should be boiled or well-cooked, and although rabbit bones are softer compared to others, it's advisable to remove them before serving to avoid the risk of choking or internal damage.
Pork
Pork is a source of high-quality protein, essential for the growth and maintenance of muscle mass in dogs. It also contains B vitamins, particularly B12, and minerals like zinc and iron, important for energy metabolism and general health.
Pork must always be well-cooked to eliminate the risk of parasites like Trichinella spiralis, which can cause trichinosis.
Some cuts of pork are high in fat, which can lead to weight problems and pancreatitis, so it's better not to overdo it. And of course, we're talking about meat and not processed products like salami and ham, which should not be given to dogs as they contain salt and spices.
Eggs
Eggs are also an excellent source of high-quality protein for dogs, as they contain all the essential amino acids they need. They are also rich in important vitamins like A, B12, riboflavin, and folic acid, and minerals like iron, selenium, and zinc. Eggs can be particularly beneficial for the health of the skin and coat.
It's advisable to give dogs cooked eggs to avoid the risk of salmonella and reduce the presence of avidin, a protein in raw egg whites that can interfere with the absorption of biotin.
Eggs contain cholesterol and fats, so they should be administered in moderation, especially to overweight dogs or those with heart problems.
Cheese
Cheese is a source of protein, calcium, vitamins A and B12, and essential fatty acids. It can be a tasty treat for dogs, but should be administered in moderation.
Cheese is indeed high in fat and can cause weight gain if administered excessively. It's better to stick to low-lactose cheeses, such as cheddar, parmesan, cottage cheese, ricotta, and mozzarella, as some dogs can be lactose intolerant.
Many dogs love the taste of cheese, which can be added to various dishes to increase their palatability. It can also be a welcome treat during training sessions, but it's not suitable for overweight dogs or those with pancreatitis.
Yogurt
Yogurt is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which can be beneficial for the digestive health of dogs. It also contains vitamins B and D.
Choose only yogurt without added sugars, artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol, which is toxic to dogs), or flavors, and administer in small portions, especially if the dog is not used to dairy.
Some dogs may be lactose intolerant, and to be safe, Greek yogurt has a lower lactose content compared to other types of yogurt.
Which Carbohydrates Are Ideal for Dogs?
Pasta, rice, and potatoes are commonly used carbohydrates in dog diets and can be a source of energy and nutrients.
Here's how they can be administered and the benefits they offer:
Pasta: Should be cooked without salt or seasonings. Whole grain pasta is better for higher fiber content. Pasta is a good source of complex carbohydrates and provides long-term energy. It also contains B vitamins and minerals.
Rice: Especially brown rice, is an excellent choice. Should be cooked in water without salt or seasonings. White rice can be used in cases of gastrointestinal disturbances for its ease of digestion. Rice is easily digestible and a good source of energy. Brown rice also provides fiber, which aids digestion, and essential nutrients. However, it should always be rinsed thoroughly to remove as much starch as possible to ensure greater digestibility.
Potatoes: Should be well cooked and served without skin or seasonings. Sweet potatoes are a good alternative for higher fiber and vitamin A content. They also provide vitamin C, potassium, and other vitamins and minerals. Potatoes are a source of light carbohydrates and can be a good alternative for dogs with wheat sensitivities. Always use fresh potatoes; old and wrinkled ones contain higher amounts of solanine and could be toxic.
General Considerations for Cereal Administration:
Carbohydrates are not technically indispensable in the diet of dogs. Unlike humans and some other animals, dogs do not have a specific dietary requirement for carbohydrates. However, carbohydrates can play a useful role in their diet, offering several benefits: they provide a source of readily available energy, contain fiber, and can spare the use of proteins for energy, allowing proteins to be used for other important physiological processes.
2. Carbohydrates should be part of a balanced diet that also includes high-quality proteins and healthy fats.
3. It's important to control portions to avoid an excess of calories, especially in overweight dogs or those with a low activity level.
If you're introducing these foods for the first time, do it gradually to avoid digestive disturbances.
Which Vegetables Are Suitable for Dogs?
Incorporating fruits and vegetables into a dog's diet can offer numerous health benefits, thanks to their high content of vitamins, minerals, fibers, and antioxidants.
These foods can help promote healthy digestion, strengthen the immune system, and contribute to the dog's overall well-being.
Recommended vegetables include:
Green beans
Zucchini
Broccoli
Carrots
Pumpkin
Celery
Peas
Cauliflower
Fruit can be added to the diet as a snack. Among the most appreciated are:
Apple
Watermelon
Mango
Banana
Strawberry
Papaya
Some fruits and vegetables, like grapes, onions, and garlic, are toxic to dogs and must be avoided.
Which Fats Are Recommended for a Dog's Diet?
Fats play a crucial role in a dog's diet, providing energy, supporting skin and coat health, and aiding the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential for a dog's health and must be obtained through the diet.
The best products containing them are:
Fish Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil (like salmon oil) is beneficial for reducing inflammation and supporting skin and coat health.
Olive Oil: A source of monounsaturated fats, it can be beneficial for overall health.
Coconut Oil: Contains medium-chain fatty acids and can support skin, coat, and immune system health.
Hemp Seed Oil: A good source of essential fatty acids, it can support skin and coat health, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular and joint health.
Krill Oil: Particularly rich in omega-3 EPA and DHA, which are crucial for brain, heart, and joint health. The omega-3s in krill oil are in the form of phospholipids, which may be more easily absorbed compared to forms found in other fish oils. Also, krill oil is often praised for its sustainability and lower likelihood of contamination by heavy metals and toxins.
Flaxseed Oil: Another source of omega-3, useful for dogs that don't eat fish.
Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil: Sources of omega-6 fatty acids, useful for skin health.
Are Vitamins and Minerals Necessary for a Proper Homemade Dog Diet?
Yes, vitamins and minerals are essential components of a balanced and healthy homemade diet for dogs.
Even though a dog receives most of its proteins and fats from animal sources, vitamins and minerals are crucial for a wide range of bodily functions, from bone and dental health to the functioning of the immune and metabolic systems.
Essential vitamins include:
Vitamin A: Important for vision, skin health, and immune system functioning.
B Vitamins (B12, Riboflavin, Niacin, etc.): Essential for energy metabolism and nervous system health.
Vitamin D: Essential for balancing calcium and phosphorus and for bone health.
Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage by free radicals.
Vitamin K: Necessary for blood clotting.
Essential minerals include:
Calcium and Phosphorus: Crucial for strong bones and teeth.
Potassium: Important for nerve and muscle function.
Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Selenium: Support various functions, from energy production to immune health and cellular repair.
If needed, they can be administered through specific supplements for pets, but it's best to consult with a veterinarian first.
How to Prepare Meals for Your Dog?
Adopting a homemade diet for your dog can be an excellent way to ensure they receive healthy and balanced nutrition.
Generally, a proper homemade diet for dogs should provide a minimum of 50% animal protein (predominantly mixed meats, offal, fish, some eggs, and occasionally fresh cheese), 25% carbohydrates (well-cooked pasta and rice), and 25% vegetables (carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, etc.).
Based on this formula, here's how you can prepare meals for your dog:
1. Protein Sources:
Use a variety of meats (such as chicken, beef, lamb), offal (liver, heart), fish (salmon, mackerel), eggs, and occasionally fresh cheese. Cook meats and fish without seasonings or oils. Offal should be served in moderation due to their high vitamin and mineral content. Eggs can be cooked or served raw if they are high quality and fresh.
2. Carbohydrates:
Ensure carbohydrates like pasta, rice, and potatoes are well-cooked to facilitate digestion. Cook pasta and rice in water without salt or seasonings. You can vary between white rice, brown rice, and different types of pasta.
3. Vegetables:
Include a variety of vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, and pumpkin, which are rich in fiber and essential nutrients. Vegetables can be steamed or boiled to make them more digestible. Ensure they are mashed or finely chopped to facilitate assimilation. You can also add a spoonful of peas to make the meal more tasty.
Once the various foods are cooked, mix them using the indicated ratio, adding a bit of olive or coconut oil if the calorie count allows.
Fruit can be used instead of commercial dog snacks and served away from meals as a treat or snack, in moderation.
How Much Should a Dog Eat?
A large adult dog with a normal level of exercise should consume about 2-2.5% of their body weight in grams.
Small adult dogs have a faster metabolism and the percentage of food should be 4% - 5%, divided into 2 or 3 daily meals.
For example, a 5 kg dog should consume between 150 and 200 grams, which can be divided into:
100 grams of protein (predominantly meat or fish)
50 grams of carbohydrates
50 grams of vegetables
Small breed dogs should follow a light and balanced diet as they tend to gain weight easily.
The amount can vary based on the dog's age (puppies need more than adults, while senior dogs need less), daily physical activity level (especially in the case of hunting or working dogs), and the general state of the dog (e.g., pregnant or lactating females, dogs with specific health conditions, overweight or obese dogs).
Therefore, it's advised to always consult a veterinarian specialized in canine nutrition. For a starting point, you can read our guide: How much should a dog eat? And how many times a day?
For help with calorie counting, use our table with indicative calorie needs for the daily requirement of a dog based on weight.

Here are some examples of the amounts in grams for a homemade diet for dogs, intended as the total of the mixed meal of proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables (minimum and maximum based on age and level of physical activity):
Dog weighing 5 kg: 150/200 grams
Dog weighing 10 kg: 300/400 grams
Dog weighing 15 kg: 375/450 grams
Dog weighing 20 kg: 400/500 grams
Dog weighing 25 kg: 500/625 grams
Dog weighing 30 kg: 600/750 grams
Dog weighing 40 kg: 600/800 grams
It's important to consider not just the quantity, but also the caloric intake provided by the foods. The specific needs of a dog can vary greatly depending on factors like their metabolic rate, activity level, age, health status, and breed. A more active dog may require more calories, while an older or less active dog may need fewer.
When preparing homemade meals for dogs, it's essential to achieve a balance between proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables to ensure they are getting a complete and balanced diet. Additionally, monitoring the dog's weight and health condition regularly is important to adjust the diet as needed. It's always recommended to consult with a veterinarian or a canine nutrition specialist, especially when switching to a homemade diet, to ensure all nutritional needs are being met and to avoid any potential health issues.
What are the forbidden or discouraged foods for a dog's diet?
Here are some foods that are discouraged or forbidden in a dog's diet, and should therefore be excluded from a homemade diet:
1. Sweets and Baked Products: Contain sugars and are very harmful to your dog.
2. Chocolate, Especially Dark Chocolate: Can cause poisoning and damage to the dog's nervous system.
3. Coffee: Contains caffeine, a stimulant called methylated xanthine, which can be lethal for dogs. All caffeine-containing products are also forbidden.
4. Nuts and Macadamia Nuts: Contain a high level of phosphorus and can cause muscle pain, weakness, joint swelling, and vomiting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade Dog Food
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked by those who choose to feed their pets homemade food, which we quickly summarize for you.
For more information, you can read our guides on canine nutrition, which you'll find in the nutrition section of our website.
What can I give my dog instead of pasta?
The best carbohydrate for dogs is rice. Pasta can be given as an alternative to boiled rice (well-rinsed and overcooked, preferably a low-starch variety) or puffed rice.
How much rice can I give my dog per day?
The recommended daily amount of rice for a dog is 25% of the daily ration, the same as for vegetables.

Can dogs eat eggs?
The answer is yes, dogs can eat eggs, specifically:
Dogs can eat raw eggs. They can be given raw, but it's better to cook them, especially if they're not from a supermarket. The egg white should always be served cooked.
Dogs can eat eggshells. But only if they're properly dried and powdered, as otherwise, they could damage the stomach lining. Avoid if you don't know how to prepare them, or if your dog needs calcium, buy a specific supplement for dogs.
Eggs should be given in limited quantities. If you're wondering how many eggs a dog can eat, it's best to limit it to two eggs a week, although it obviously depends on the size of the dog.
Dogs can be allergic to eggs. The most common symptoms of egg allergy in dogs are hives, swelling, sneezing, lethargy, and breathing problems.
Puppy dogs can eat eggs. However, they should only be given after weaning, boiled, and in limited quantities.
How can I switch from kibble to homemade food?
Dogs are creatures of habit, and the transition should be done gradually. The best thing is to alternate dry food with homemade food during the first week to avoid sudden changes in diet having side effects on the digestive system and causing gastrointestinal problems.
Some dogs might resist the switch from kibble to homemade diet due to the taste.
Kibble is indeed added with artificial flavors to make them more palatable to pets, so you might need a few days for them to get used to the new diet.
But generally, homemade diet is appreciated by almost all dogs, if sufficiently varied and structured to provide nourishment and flavor.
Potatoes can be considered a substitute for pasta and rice, as they are tubers and not true vegetables and have a much higher caloric intake.
And obviously, they must be given well-cooked, as they contain solanine, which is toxic to dogs.
And ideally, they should not be the only source of sugars in the diet, but a welcome addition between a rice-based dish and another.
How many meals can I prepare?
As many as you want, you can freeze them already prepared in daily portions and thaw them before serving.
Choose non-toxic plastic food containers that can be microwaved if you need to defrost quickly.
What type of diet is best for the dog?
There is no exact answer to this question. A dog's diet can vary depending on the breed, age, and lifestyle, but mostly based on the owner's choices.
There are owners who prefer to take advantage of the many benefits of dry food, such as ease of dosage and not having to spend time cooking.
Others prefer to ensure that their dog only eats high-quality foods, with raw materials chosen by them and that ensure many years of well-being for the dog.
Whatever the diet, the important thing is to choose only high-quality foods, ensure that the ingredients provide the required amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and that the dosage is right for the weight and physical condition of your friend.
