Question 1

Is homemade dog food actually safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when it is nutritionally complete and balanced. BetterBowl's recipe builder audits any recipe against AAFCO Adult Maintenance and NRC guidelines using a whole-food ingredient database, and the library includes 103 complete meal recipes that have already passed both standards. The other 279 recipes (toppers, treats, broths, special-occasion and condition-specific) are designed to complement those meals.

Question 2

Do I need to add synthetic supplements?

Accepted Answer

No. BetterBowl uses whole-food balancers like eggshell powder, kelp, hemp seed, and organ meats to hit the full nutrient profile without pharmacy-grade supplements.

Question 3

How is this personalised?
