While commercial dog food provides balanced nutrition, many Indian dog parents prefer supplementing with home-cooked meals. Understanding the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables is essential for your dog's health.

The Balanced Plate Approach

A properly balanced homemade meal should generally consist of:

• 40-50% protein (chicken, fish, eggs, paneer)
• 25-30% starchy carbohydrates (rice, roti, oats)
• 25-30% vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, peas)
• Small amounts of healthy fats (coconut or flaxseed oil)
