Question
I give my 4 mnth GSD puppy 3 time home made feed  daily.my questions are following...

1)is chicken byproduct(inner skin,small bones,intestine etc.) /motton byproduct(inner skin,small bones,intestine etc.) are safe for puppy?
2)is it o.k to give only cooked chicken or mutton byproduct.or should I mix it with something?
3)how much quantity of chicken/mutton I should give him in a single feed?
4)can I give him all 3 feed of chicken/mutton byproduct or there shold be one milk feed,one chicken/mutton feed and one pulses feed?


Answer
Hello Vibhor - I am not able to help with recipes for pups... Mostly I do help with home-made food for dogs over 8 months old.
Giving Cooked chicken and Motton is fine when added to a good puppy kibble ( dry food)

I don't know what brands are available in India....
Try to look for one that is Natural and Holistic -
Try to find a food with very little corn and rice.  ( if possible)

YOU diet is not balanced - you do need to add a good vitamin daily to the diet - Plus please add some good dog kibble -
YOU can do 1/2 home made and 1/2 dry commercial food.

Good Luck
