Ya some dogs can tolerate more then others. Some have cast iron guts and others will cost you big time in vet bills trying to figure out what they can eat.
After getting my Golden Retriever and being retired I started making her home food, you really have to be careful of the ratios of meat, veg's and I use rice as the binder with pure pumpkin. Not the pie filling one as it has tons of sugar. The ground beef and skinless chicken breast I boil for 20 minutes, let cool and run the chicken breast through my grinder and mix every thing together. She will not eat carrots for some reason. Loves peas. I mix it all in with her dry dog food. Some days its gone faster then speeding bullet and other days she takes all day to eat it.
I also make these homemade dog treats which she just loves. I freeze them and on hot days its like a doggie popsicle :)
