Yes. If you mix a “complete and balanced” kibble with a “complete and balanced” home-made recipe, the mixture will deliver “complete and balanced” nutrition. Owners who wish to add some fresh human foods to their dog’s regular kibble diet can easily do this using the recipes in the book.

Owners should make up an entire home-made recipe as per the instructions in the book (including HILARY’S BLEND supplement), to yield a kilogram of food. Then that kilogram of home-made food can be mixed with kibble in whatever proportion the owner wishes. Make sure to reduce the amount of kibble accordingly. For example, an owner could feed kibble at half the usual serving plus a home-made recipe at half the recommended feeding and this would provide the dog with a complete and balanced meal.

Improving the nutrition of your dog is not an all-or-nothing thing. If you prepare one meal/week using human food ingredients, you will improve the health of your dog. If you substitute 1/10th of your dog’s calories from kibble with the same calories from a complete and balanced home-prepared meal, you will improve the health of your dog. Obviously, the more meals you prepare yourself, the greater the benefit to the dog, but this way of feeding doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. You can derive great benefits from small changes.
