I need to know what I can feed my 3 month old puppy (unknown breed) that can be made at home.
I live in a place where decent quality dog food is not readily available. I've got a bag of Red Flannel puppy formula as it was the best I could find (and still the first few ingredients are by-products and filler) but Curly doesn't really like it. Most people here feed their dogs cooked chicken and rice, I'm wondering if I should give that a try along with some vitamins if I can find them.

If you are going to cook your own dog food, you need to supplement it properly, especially for a growing puppy. Calcium, Vit C, Lecithin, nutritional yeast, etc. These are all available online if you can't get them locally. Dr. Pitcairn's Book of Natural Health for Dogs and Cats has recipes and a 'Healthy Powder' recipe for supplements. I think you can Google 'Healthy Powder' and get the recipe, but that won't give you the background reading the book will. The book is available online if your library doesn't have it. The other thing you might want to consider is a raw diet. In 'Forums' there is a section on raw feeding. Read a lot before you decide. Gio's post 'So you want to feed raw' is excellent. Type that in the search box.
Enjoy your puppy!

I would prepare natural meats and vegetable blends. The best thing you can do is wait for sales and freeze the meat. I would say meats such as dark & white chicken blend and turkey meats, with maybe a mix of vegetables that you can find from a local supplier fairly cheap. Goodluck!
