I just adopted my roommates dog, a 1 year american bulldog/ boxer mix.
He left the country for a job internship and wanted me to look after him since I love the dog.

He bought an ebook from dogsdeserve.com full of recipes.

How often should I feed the dog homemade petfood without him shying away from his normal food?

He's been really picky lately though, sometimes I have to force him to eat his normal dog food?

I too would be interested in hearing from anyone who cooks their own dogfood. A couple of times, I've run out of dog food, so in a pinch I set aside a small portion of what the family had, modified: a small bit of meat, mixed with some diced potatoes, green beans or peas, carrots, and some peeled diced apple. She loved it, of course, but it's not an all the time thing. I'm not entirely certain people food is all that good for her. Also, my dog doesn't seem to have the same tastes as other dogs-- she really doesn't care for apples and carrots, unless they are mixed in with some other food she loves, like meat and gravy. But she does love dates and frozen peas! Does anyone cook for their dog? How much, what type of foods, is your dog healthier/a healthy weight for it? What about stools? How does a homecooked diet affect your dog's bowel habits?
