I found this same exact recipe, but they already have the raisins crossed off

oh thats a relief

They must have went back and crossed off the raisins after the found out you were talking about it and realized it was not good for dogs. I commend them for that

[behinderhereyes]

Yeah, I am so excited to start making my own dog food. It is going to be alot healthier then the dog food from commercial brand dog foods.

You have to be really careful to balance the phos/calcium ratio as well as adding all the other required nutrients for balanced nutrition for your pupper.

Dont get me wrong it can be done, just with education on canine nutrition first.

That's good news and it might be prudent to check the date on the website for the last update. Emilie's right, raisins nor grapes would be found in foods today, but recipes from maybe even five years ago it is possible they were included.
