Anyone doing homemade dog food here?

I used to feed ACANA and Nutriedge in the past, but lately, I have been preparing homemade dog food.
For sharing purpose, here is the recipe:

Daily Meal (Slow Baked in Oven)
I make this in a batch and freeze it (1 week supply)
Total time spent: 2 Hours on every Sunday
1. Meat - Chicken / Lamb / Beef. (I usually mince the meat with food processor)
2. Fish - Occasionally, Fresh Sardines, bones removed
3. Organs - Chicken Liver, chicken gizzards Why Organ Meat is important for dogs
4. Hard Boiled Eggs Eggs Benefits
5. Pumpkin including seeds Pumpkin for dogs
6. Green Beans / Long Beans Can dog eat green beans?
7. Green Vege - Bak Choy / Green Mustard- blended in food processor.
8. Cooked white rice Should my dog eat rice?
9. Egg Shells Powder for Calcium - DIY - Refer here How to make Egg Shells powder
10. Tumeric Powder - Refer here for the benefits Tumeric For Dogs
11. Olive Oil - Reasons to add Olive Oil for dogs

Additional Natural Food: Apple, Watermelon, Yogurt. I take the same too.
Occasional bone broth from chicken feet.
Supplements: 1 capsule of 1000mg Fish Oil per day. I take the same fish oil too. Fish Oil and Omega 3 for Dogs

My approach is to feed human grade natural food as far as I can.

The results?

Pros
As compared to ACANA / Nutriedge / Nutrience
- Lesser Poop quantity, frequency. Lesser smell from the poop.

Generally,
- Shinier coat
- Active & happy dog.. rclxms.gif
- No vet visit for 1/2 year thumbup.gif

[U]Cons[/U]
Additional few hours time spent during the weekend, including time to buy ingredients in the market.


Cost??
RM 20-25 Per week. Works out about RM 80-100 Per month.
