Also needed, usually covered by a meat based recipe

Essential amino acids (arginine, lysine, methionine and others): met easily when most calories come from meat, heart and liver.
B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folate): liver, heart and meat cover these well. B1 is the one most often low in home cooking, since long cooking destroys it.
Potassium, magnesium, sodium, chloride: meat, sweet potato and green vegetables usually cover them. Don't add salt.
Taurine: not strictly required for dogs, but heart is the richest source and supports heart health.
Fiber: sweet potato, pumpkin, green beans and oats keep stools firm.

A balancer like Balance IT covers every vitamin and mineral above in one scoop, which is why the short base plus balancer is the simplest complete option.
