Cooking up dog food

[Gina]

I wish I could cook for Gucci, poor thing is on the L/D diet and I see that somedays she doesn't want to eat. I guess its the same boring nibbles over and over. But it keeps her healthy.

I think she still is cooking for her babies. I hate cooking so much that the only way I would cook for mine is if I HAD to. I hope that never happens, but if they needed it, I sure would cook.

Zoe just refuses the kibble. Chase will eat it, but I gave him some Diamond Lamb and Rice with his rice and broth one day this week instead of meat and when I got up the next morning I had vomit and runny poo to clean up. They seem to do much better with my concoctions, but I know mine aren't balanced. No veggies, just rice, broth and meat.

Growing up on the farm, the dogs lived on corn mush cooked with bacon grease and were healthy with nice shiny coats. However, they did catch wild rabbits and other varments to supplement their diets. I know this is not what I want for these little yorkies.

I may just try to make Judy's recipe or go to YT and see what others over there are doing. I just don't do so well in big crowds and that's how I feel over there.

It always makes me giggle when I read about you all cooking for your dogs.
I'm sure mine would love if I did a bit of that too, but when I consider cooking enough for as many big dogs as I have, it stops me dead in my tracks. I go through about 50+ lbs of dog food plus treats per week. Can you imagine how much cooking that would be?

So please don't tell my dogs what you're doing for yours... I can't afford to get on their "list". lol

Tink, you made me chuckle. No way would I consider every cooking for your crew, not even one dog that large unless there was no other option. I can cook 2 cups of rice and 3 large chicken breasts or 6 thighs and they will last almost a week. I cook the chicken in chicken broth in my pressure pot and it only takes 15 minutes or so. Rice cooks in 20 minutes and I'm set!! I did buy the ingredients to make Judy's recipe, but will wait until next week to make it.
