Even if owners prepare homemade diets using organic and vegetarian products, they may still face nutritional deficiencies. Compared to commercial products, homemade diets are not as nutritionally balanced or healthy because they do not go through the same regulatory and testing procedures. Additionally, diets must cater to varying ages and weights. For example, the dietary requirements of a puppy, such as metabolism, immunology, and body composition, are vastly different from those of an adult dog.
