That makes a big difference. Commercial prepared raw is complete and balanced. As long as you don't feed more than 20% homemade with that, they should be ok. But if it's all homemade, I would definitely consult with a recipe book for homemade feeders. This is the one I have, but I'm sure there are others. http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/real-food-for-healthy-dogs-and-cats-cookbook.aspx Unbalanced homemade is the worst food you can feed due to the fact that undernutrition can lead to malnutrition which can lead to organ failure. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/choosing-dog-food/karen-becker-best-worst-dog-food/ Emily,

Unbalanced homemade is the worst food you can feed due to the fact that undernutrition can lead to malnutrition which can lead to organ failure.

One of my dogs are allergic to many many foods. Are they getting enough minerals through feeding them fresh and raw foods or should I be adding chelated minerals to their food? If so where do you buy them? I feed my two 15 lbs Cavaliers a raw and a cooked diet. One of my dogs are allergic to many many foods.

Excessively soft stools and frequent defecation can be a problem. And although these symptoms can be related to a new food, they can also be a sign of another health issue. If things don't clear up soon, you may wish to contact your vet. Hi Jana… Excessively soft stools and frequent defecation can be a problem.
