I would like to make my own dog food for my little dog but I can barely afford to feed myself so I at least try to feed her the best quality commercial dog food I can afford. It's not the most expensive or best but it's not the cheapest and worst either. I still think sometimes she eats better than I do.

Table meat scraps are dangerous for cats...too high in protein. Tinned catfood has the recommended 4% limit.
