Homemade dog food


I need to do more research and joined a facebook group on this, but trying out homemade dog food.  Still using half kibble and half homemade for now = 1 scoop (half cup) of kibble + homemade food twice a day.  Will adjust as needed.
Using large muffin silicon pan - two 12 cup and works great.

Dog food notes:
Luna weights ~47 lbs
Total dog food per day: 2% of weight = 0.94 lbs of food per day = 15 oz
Total meat per day: 62.5% of food = 9.375 oz
Rest of food per day: 5.625 oz
Liver: 10% of diet ~1.44 oz per day --> 5% of diet!
