What you have listed? If so, that's not a balanced diet. He needs much more than this. If you are adding this to his food on occasion it's fine. Why not just buy a good quality kibble? There are plenty of reasonable priced dog foods out there. Your dog needs a complete and balanced diet - just like with humans. You are essentially feeding your dog all starches. That's not healthy.
