FAQs

Can I use white meat instead of dark chicken meat?

Dark meat is preferred for this recipe because it contains more fat and nutrients beneficial for dogs, but white meat can be used if necessary. Ensure it is cooked thoroughly and chopped finely.

Is it necessary to add the Balance IT Canine supplement?

This supplement provides essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that might be missing in a homemade diet. Including it helps ensure your dog’s nutritional needs are met, but consult your vet before use.
