I’m not the one to figure out if your recipe is actually balanced, but the one thing I did notice is with your omega 3. First of all, flax is not a good source of omega 3s for dogs. Flax is rich in ALA, but dogs are not efficient at converting ALA to the forms of omega 3s that they actually need, DHA and EPA. Also, cooking omegas is not good. They need to be added fresh right before feeding.

You may want to look on Dogaware dot com for more recipes. And Dr Karen Becker has a great book “Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats” that will help you learn about everything that needs to go in your dogs diet and will give you more recipes. Feeding variety will help keep the diet balanced.
