Cooking up dog food

[judy]

I'm cooking up a huge pot of food for the dogs. I'm using a new recipe - about 5 pounds of chopped turkey, boiled, 2 packages off frozen peas and carrots and 1 package of frozen spinach in the same pot , bring to a boil, add a box of brown rice
and leave it until the water is absorbed by the rice.

It can't be easier! I also ordered fish oil treats and chondroitin treats on eBay.

I wish I could make healthy, low fat food for myself so easily. I could always eat the dog's food too.

I don't think so!!!

Katy wants to come to your house for dinner!

I didn't know you cooked food for your babies! Sometimes I feel guilty because I don't, but heck...I don't cook that often for us..LOL. I just don't think it would be something I could do, and like it.

It would be my luck that I'd make all that food and Reuger would turn up his nose. He is sooo very picky!!! I guess that Mollee, our airdale, would be happy. She always gets what ever Reuger won't eat!

I didn't actually want to cook for them Janet! Opening up a can is so easy, but Gracie Leigh had giardia and then the vet said she probably had some kind of worms too. Mandy started me on cooking for them and I find that it's easy on Gracie's stomach.

I also found that it's so much easier than I thought it would be, or I'd be trying canned food again.

Don't think Max didn't try to turn his nose up at this new recipe this morning! He did eat it though finally.

I cook for our dogs, but I kinda cheat. I cook up a big pot of rice using chicken and/or beef broth instead of water. I put this in the refrigerator and when time to feed, combine it with leftover scraps of chicken/turkey, whatever we have to make about 1/3 cup, warm it in the microwave and mix in about 1/4 cup of Diamond Lamb and Rice kibble. I divide it about 1/3 for Zoe, 2/3 for Chase. I don't know if it's totally nutritionally balanced, but I started doing this to transition them back to kibble when they all got sick this summer and we had them on chicken and rice per the vet. We never finished transitioning them. They love it, and seem to be doing very well, so I figure they are okay.
