Homemade Dog Food Recipes

RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Post by momo5 (7) | (09/25/2008) Blog! | Contact I am interested in hearing from Denise who posted this last recipe. Our dog has stomach and skin conditions and is very nervous. We use lots of alternative remedies, but the diets are not seeming to cut it and the vet books I bought about home made diets do not say which veges can bother the stomach.

This is what I have been feeding him for 7 months. So far so good. 3 to 5 lbs of beef (usually chuck roast is on sale.) I bake it with about 2 to 3 pounds of sweet potatoes put cooked meat and potatoes thru meat grinder then I add 16oz of frozen peas (puried in blender) My dog loves it. Sometimes I add flour, make small balls and bake for 15 mins. he thinks they are treats.

Seems there are a hole lot of pets out there that have to be on meds or are ill , and have some kind of problems! This just sounds like way to many pets are getting ill. This tells me something is really wrong with the pet foods we buy. Think about it please!

My dog was fed a frozen top notch raw food diet and had chronic diarrhea and contracted food poisoning from it. So he now eats a baked and steamed diet. This allows the bacteria to be killed but does not allow the loss of nutrients that boiling meat and vegetables causes.

Buy sweet potatoes and bake them first. Then slice in pieces about 1/4 inch thick and dehydrate. It is a healthy snack.

You put it where it eats and drinks each day, and it will eat sooner or later, People must remember that its a dog, You can love it and walk it and enjoy it, But its still a dog, when we treat them like humans , that's when problem s start. Take the dog for a good walk, them put the food down and walk away. Good luck.

This is a WONDERFUL pet store... Everything they carry is high end, but without the sky-high prices... (in fact "Greenies" pet treats are only $2.99 there instead of $3.99 like they are in Wallgreens) ...It kind of reminds me of a health Food store for pets... Their employees are extremely knowledgeable & can help you with your questions. They also carry some of the harder-to-get ingredients for making dog food (like salmon oil & calcium). This is where I recently ran into a gal who makes her own dog food for her 2 White Siberian Huskies. In fact I was so curious as to why she was purchasing a huge quart size bottle of Salmon oil that I asked her "What are you going to do with that stuff?" To which she replied "I make my own dog food"... I found making your own dog food so fascinating that we ended up talking about the subject for over half an hour in the parking lot after we left the store. Here's just a tiny bit of what I learned: Dog food is NOT like people food, in that dogs have VERY exacting requirements... They not only need certain oils, but they need a certain mineral ratio in their diet or their bones will become weak. You will need to talk to an expert about this! Find an expert like someone who shows your particular type of dog at shows or someone who raises & breeds your type of dog. I can't remember the exact details she gave me, but I do remember that she said that her male husky requires different amounts of certain minerals etc than her female husky. I also remember all the work & money this took her. She had been doing research on making dog food for quite some time before she felt ready to actually make the switch. She makes up a new batch every Sunday then freezes it in individual bags which she defrosts nightly. Mud Bay Granary has 14 locations. I believe the closest to you would be in Olympia. (It's off of 101) Before you decide to make the actual switch to making your own dog food, go into their store & talk to them. They have so many more pet foods to choose from than any other pet store. Another bonus is, you will leave there with so many free samples that you won't believe it! ...The first time I went in to one of their stores I went in only to purchase a natural cat litter (made from wheat grass) that I could compost in my back yard so I wouldn't be adding to the landfills. But when I mentioned that my cat was a bit overweight They gave me 5 or 6 samples of food for overweight cats & then I mentioned that my daughter's cat has allergies, so they gave me a bunch of free samples of food for cats with allergies, Then I mentioned my mother has 2 new kittens & they gave me even more free kitten food samples. By the time I left there I had a whole bag of free samples & literature. This is no "regular" pet food store... These guys run their business like I would. You can even take back any item (even a bag of half-eaten dog food) for ANY reason, even if you've lost the receipt! They are absolutely a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" store! They have customer service like they had back in the old days. So do yourself a favor & go in to one of their 14 locations & talk to them about the dog food they sell (you may want to try some for your dog) & also talk to them about the ingredients they sell for making your own dog food & how to do it. You wont be sorry!

Homemade Doggy Dinners is so easy I order off their web site at http://www.HomemadeDoggyDinners.com and they deliver the frozen dog food to my house, all I have to do is defrost a serving and my dog has a healthy gourmet meal that I know is great for him.

I make up a batch and put it into the refrigerator till all used. Found that my Shh Tzus liked it better than the canned Hill's.

(07/01/2008) By alisacarol RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes To Lynn: my dog to was scratching his face and licking his paws. It turns out he was allergic to the wheat in his dog food which i later found out was quite common in dogs. I now feed him science diet dry food which has been doing wonders for him I also give him homemade meals. For something quick and easy I usually use some sort of canned meat (chicken, fish or beef) and I mix it with rice or potatoes and baby food vegetables (carrot or green beans). When I'm up for it I make more elaborate meals which can be found anywhere on the internet. The dry food keeps his teeth clean and the homemade food keeps his tummy happy. My cat also suffered from allergies from commercial food which were life threating. She now is on prescription diet. Which is awful since that is the only thing she can eat and can not enjoy the same variety my dog does. Commercial food has proven to be very dangerous in my home and I try to stray away from it.

I prefer to give her food that I have made myself. I am at this moment baking turkey breast, which I am going to chop up and add cooked brown rice and carrots.

He gives the dog 4 cloves of garlic a day. This is fresh garlic and can be put in food you make. He also gives the dog some olive oil. Apparently olive oil is good for dogs. His dog is extremely healthy. He cooks chicken and cuts it up and cooks liver and also hamburger. He puts onions in it and dogs also like carrots and corn is used in there food. He also puts brown bread broken up into the mixture. You can also use cooked macaroni. He has also told me that oatmeal is good for the dog, I believe it is cooked and he says cinnamon is good for the dog as well, but that would go better with oatmeal. His dog likes alot of vegetables. The vet has never seen such a healthy dog and the dog is older and acts like a pup. The garlic is a big part of keeping the dog healthy and young. (11/29/2007) By Betty RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes NEVER EVER FEED ONIONS OR GARLIC TO A DOG... THEY ARE DEADLY! You might as well feed them a hershey bar while your at it. Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet's red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic There are many items you can not feed a dog - Chocolate, Onions, Garlic, Macadamian Nuts, Grapes, or Raisins. (12/07/2007) By Jo RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Most of these sound fantastic! However, if you make such large quantities, how would you store the unused portions and how long would they last? Most of these recipes sound like they would make A LOT! Do you warm it up first if it's kept in the freezer or bring it to room temp? I work full time and would need further detail on storage. I have a three year old Westie and a 9 1/2 year old Sheltie. Do you just cold turkey them from the store bought food and start them on the home made? Does it tear up their tummies to just change their diet so drastically? I too have given homemade food serious thought since the recall started. My babies are my babies ! I don't want to lose them! Thank you - lm (12/21/2007) By Lisa-Marie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I feed my dogs Spots Stew recipe... chicken, lots of vegs, oats, etc. I combine all to make the stew. Then I refrigerate. After refrigeration, the chicken fat goes to the top, and I remove it. Should I discard it or be using it in the stew? Editor's Note I'd remove the extra fat. Leaving a little is okay but most of it should be removed. (12/24/2007) By Kris RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes My Jack Russell Terrier has had 2 surgeries to remove calcium oxylate stones from his bladder. When he got the second stone which required the second surgery, he had already been on the Hill Science U/D formula for 4 years. On researching online, I came across the "Animal Advocate", William Cusick, who has many yrs experience researching dogfood and is an author on books regarding what foods certain breeds should be eating. He came up with a recipe specifically for my dog. I have been making this recipe for my Jack Russell and he has been on this for 4 years. His coat has never looked better and so far he has been stone free. I would recommend contacting Bill Cusick. I hope this will be of help to you!

I have 3 wonderful pugs all with different dietary needs and I am looking for recipes that they can all benefit from. First, there is Chango (5 yrs.), he is currently on the Hill's c/d diet for prevention of struvite crystals. He has been on this diet since he was 1 yr. old. Then, there is Smash (5 yrs.), who has recently been through surgery to remove calcium oxalate stones from his bladder and has had 3 encounters with elevated liver enzymes and is currently taking a thyroid medication for hypothyroidism. This guy is the hardest to evaluate only due to everything going on with him. I just need him leveled out to find out what is causing all of the commotion. He is currently eating the Hill's l/d diet and advised to eat zero protein. But the more I investigate, this diet is all wrong for him. Then, there is Chopper, who has allergies. I was feeding him Solid Gold Hund n Flocken (lamb & rice), but now he seems to have a bit of a weight issue. I have recently switched him over to Blue Buffalo Weight Management. Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate all of the advice I can get. Thank you. Sincerely, Linda :o) (03/01/2008) By LBorjas RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have a Chihuahua who is very picky.

(03/03/2008) By Carol RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have a 16 week old Norfork Terrier who I started cooking for a few weeks ago, and I have researched this subject relentlessly and have come up with some very good combinations and he loves it. Oly only weighs 8 lbs, and won't be more than 11 - 12 lbs. when fully grown, he eats 6 oz. a day. I cook up several meats. Very lean ground sirloin, ground chicken, ground turkey, hard boiled eggs, boneless chicken tenders, chicken giblets, hearts, eye round roast (cut into small cubes). At least half my recipes are protein. It is very important to make sure your puppy dog gets variety. The more, the better. The other half is a combination of veggies (peas, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash etc.) Note: I buy jar baby food. The only thing in it is veggies and water. I add in some applesauce (unsweetened), or banana, mixed berry, a little pure pumpkin, some lentils on occasion, a touch of honey, organic minced garlic is good, yogurt or cottage cheese, a little parsley or basil, sometimes a dash of no salt salt, either purified water or beef or chicken broth and freeze it in 6 oz. plastic freezer Ball containers. (Yogurt should not be frozen, but should be added just before serving to your pet) I also add in his supplements. I also feed him liver once or twice a week, but only about 5 to 10% of the recipes should be liver, so I freeze it already cut up in a freezer baggie and take a few pieces out when I add it in. He gets different combinations and sardines or salmon added about once a week. I take one container out, thaw it, I mark it so I know if it has cottage cheese in it, if it doesn't, I add a little yogurt to it for probiotics, which they need. He's little so I add 1/8 tsp. calcium (ground eggshell - rinse and dry eggshells overnight, and grind in a clean coffee grinder) he also gets 1 probiotic (keep refrigerated, and use daily, I open it and pour it over his food) I also crush to powder 1 puppy vitamin and add. Every 3 days he get 1 fish oil soft gel because it's 1000 ml and he doesn't need that much every day because of his body weight. He loves it, and I feel safer. Mix everything in really good and serve warm. Sometimes I give him some long grain brown rice, a little wheat germ etc. and I also make him homemade snacks. His coat is shiny and softer, his stools are firm and less frequent (not runny and 6 times a day, and not as foul) He's much happier, and when I spoke to the vet about what I was doing, they thought it was a great thing to do. It doesn't take that much time out of week, and he's worth every second I spend making his food, and every cent I spend on it. It is a good idea to research your specific breed as well to find out if there are target foods that may not be advisable to feed your specific breed. I know mine for example has traits of contracting kidney problems, and therefore, white rice and any soy products are probably not good for my puppy. It never hurts to research and the more you do, the more you learn. I feed him warm food because cold is not good for the tummy, and I change his water often (stainless steel seems to be best - plastic brings in more bacteria I've read) I warm his water as well and add in either chicken or beef broth in his water, and I get lots and lots of kisses and waggly tails !!! PS. I also let him have RMB's. It helps with balancing out what he needs nutritionally. (03/03/2008) RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Garlic is not "toxic" to dogs - and neither is broccoli. Fresh glove garlic is actually good for your pet, and so is broccoli. There are several good sites out there and what is toxic to dogs are chocolate, grapes (too many) raisins and onions are toxic as well, there are a couple others as well but garlic and broccoli are not two of them. There is too much research available and if properly balanced, there is no reason that an otherwise healthy pup can live to be 25 or 30 years old, and I have found that the very best dry dog food available is Life's Abundance available on line through Dr. Jane Bicks. The Best food you can give your pet is home made with supplements. Lots of variety too ! How would you feel if you ate the same slop day after day? A dog feels the same way, mix it up and see how much your dog loves you! (03/03/2008) RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I run my own toy breed site which advises on feeding your dog, I personally recommend a raw diet for toy breeds prone to allergies. We make our own vaccum packed meals called back 2 basics and it sells well . I am a qualified aromatherapist, and use much of what I was taught to supplement the food with herbs, each pack is made specifically for your dog if they have an illness. I can state thus far , all dogs now using our diets have less tearstains, no illness, no allergies and hey they dont itch. (03/17/2008) By Karen RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Fresh garlic most certainly IS toxic to dogs. Please do your homework before posting such an irresponsible thing. Dogs living to 30 years of age? Get serious...just as people can live to 150 years of age? Yeesh. (03/17/2008) By Boujie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes My Wheaton/Westie Mix, Jackson, Loves peanut butter. He also loves fruit. His favorite home made treat goes like this. 1 1/2 c. mashed bananas 3 cups of quaker oats 1/4 cup of applesauce 1/2 c chopped peanuts Blend together and pat into cookies. bake at 350 for 15 min. (03/20/2008) By Christie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I've been raising dogs all my life and cooking for them almost as long. I started out feeding just table scraps and then switched over to regular diets. Leafy greens are very good for dogs. Including broccoli. The only one I wouldn't feed is iceberg lettuce. Spinach can be used as long as it is in very small amounts and not everyday, and there is nothing wrong with feeding brocolli to your dog either. You need to lightly stem your veggies and then put them into a food processor with some purified water and process them up really fine. There is a lot of controversy over whether garlic is "toxic" to dogs or not. Garlic can cause anemia to an animal if you feed an over abundance of it. Onions on the other hand are toxic. But Garlic is okay if you don't overdue it. It actually helps with fleas. The last thing I would like to say is this; if Garlic is toxic and you can't feed it to your dog and broccoli is toxic too and you can't feed that to your dog either then I must be doing something wrong here. Maybe I need to ask my dogs who eat everything and look for more! I've been feeding both of these things to my dogs for years and years, and my late dog, god bless her -- lived to be the ripe old age of 24 and she was still wagging her tail right up to the time she died. (03/27/2008) RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I am currently making homemade dog food for my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - Holly and Teddy. I am mixing 40% meat (two of the following - organic or free-range ground chicken (dark), turkey (dark), duck, lamb, venison or bison/buffalo), 40% veg (red or yellow potatoes plus at least 3 of the following - sweet potato, yam, turnip, cauliflower, carrot, broccoli, peas, beans, beet, rutabaga, parsnip, spinach, cabbage - if canned no salt added). 10% fruit (different varieties of apples or apple sauce, pear, berries especially blueberries, pumpkin). Sometime I add yogurt and occasionally substitute the potatoes, for oatmeal or rice. I make up about 4-5 days of food at a time and since rice can cause bacillus cereus food poisoning if kept over 24-48 hours in the frig, I seldom use it. But, I am thinking about substituting barley or some other grain for the potatoes from time to time. To prepare, I add all the ingredients into a large pot with water and simmer slowly for an hour or so until everything is soft. Then I drain much of the water off and mash it up finally a squirt or two of grizzly salmon oil and Im done. To serve, I mix in a small amount of quality dry food right before I feed them for crunch and just in case. I also give them a doggy vitamin every couple of days. When I was feeding them store bought food they got diarrhea all the time, now they seldom get it. They look healthy and have loads of energy. What do you think?? Am I missing something.

I've used info gleaned here and from a few other sites and have made my 10 year old Yorkie (who recently had a pancreatitis attack - boy was he sick!) homemade food. He's been eating it for 2 weeks and he absolutely loves it. He is waiting for me in the kitchen first thing in the morning and we always give him a second feeding just before we eat dinner. My son (who picks up the dog patch every week) can hardly believe the difference in his poop. He's had no more symptoms of any kind. I'm making another BIG batch of 30 one cup containers which I will freeze. I thaw it through the night in the fridge, and warm it slightly before serving it to him. He would do back flips for it! I steam deboned chicken breasts in a little water, salmon or another fish and extra lean ground beef. I save the chicken water. I food process the chicken, mash up the ground beef really fine, and flake the fish. I have these proteins in seperate bowls. In a large bowl I mix a big pot of cooked oats (no salt) and brown rice (no salt). In another bowl I combine food processed cooked veggies - last time I did sweet potato, carrots (lots), celery and green beans. I bought 30 Ziploc freezer bowls (1 1/2 cup size) and I measure 40% protein, 30% veggies and 30% rice/oats mixture into the container (just over a cup total). I mix it, pop on the lid and throw all these in the freezer. I take them out as I need them, warm them a little and add a spoonful of plain, organic yogurt. He loves it, and a couple of hours of work on a Saturday afternoon will give me enough food to feed him for a month. I'm so relieved that he is feeling so well. His energy is great, his elimination problems are over and he seems like a youngster again. A month ago we wondered if he was going to make it!

Remove chicken and clean meat off the bones. Save stock and chill. Chop chicken in food processor and set aside. Next day: Remove fat from broth. Use broth to cook 5 cups brown rice. While rice cooks - pulse frozen green beans, raw carrots,broccoli stems and place in large bowl with chicken. Add cooled rice and 1 cup of wheat germ at this point. Form into hard ball size ball. Place on cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Bag them the next day. This recipe will make two cookie sheets full. I serve one for breakfast (microwave till warm) and then a little kibble in the evening. I have been feeding this way for 3 years and my dog is lean and healthy and he sure loves his rice balls! He's waiting by the fridge when I get up. By annie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have never bought wet food for my dog because of the cost. I buy liver fry it up,chop it or ground it up , mix in brown rice, grated carrots, oil ( veg,olive or flax) they will love it. It's cheaper than the wet stuff and much healthier. Any meat can be used of course I just find liver most cost effective. By valerie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Here's a page with Cat and Dog Food Recipes: http://www.cooksrecipes.com/category/pet-recipes.html By Luvyabye RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Without going into boring details, we accumulated many frozen turkeys in our deep freeze. When I realized just how many and how long they had been in my freezer I was shocked. I could not be wasteful and just throw them away so I decided to make dog food! I did a little research and what I learned was that a mixture of 1/3 protein (meat), 1/3 starch (rice, potatoes, pasta) and 1/3 vegetable was an acceptable mixture...maybe go a little heavier on the protein and less on the starch. I thawed and cooked two of the turkeys. I pulled all the meat off the bones and shredded/diced it and discarded the bones. I measured how much meat I had (in cups) and then cooked enough cheap rice (Dollar store-Aldi's) to equal the amount of meat I had. Rice usually doubles in quantity when cooked so if you need 4 cups cooked use 2 cups uncooked. I cooked the rice in the leftover broth from cooking the turkeys. Cooked carrots was suggested as a good choice for the vegetable so I bought the needed amount at the cheapest price I could find at Aldi's. I mixed these three ingredients up well and put portions in cheap storage bags, mashed them flat and froze them. This made a huge quantity, at least a 5 gallon bucket full, so I shared this treat with our dog, our son-in-law's dogs and a friend's dog also. They absolutely loved it! I did not add anything else no salt, no garlic, no onion etc. I feel good about the whole process. I did not waste any of the meat and the dogs got the benefit of some pure good food, no additives or preservatives. I have more turkeys to cook! Next time I will cook ONE! The large quantity was difficult in my small kitchen. I also plan to cook up other "lost" meat packages that have ended up at the bottom of my freezer and use them up the same way. The dogs don't notice the slight "off" or "freezer burn" flavor we humans get picky about. By Grandma Margie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes For grandma margie: Thank you so much for your reply re recipe. My recipe for my yorkie is almost the same as yours. I use 2 pounds of medium ground meat and add a bag of frozen vegetables, with a little garlic, and then alternate with chicken sometimes. She seems to be tired and finicky with the food now, and was wondering if there are any other recipes you can offer. She has a yeast allergy therefore cannot use any rice in her food, or any type of wheat. By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Are there any balanced dry food recipes for dogs and cats other than for making treats? By Dotywen@aol.com RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Caution when making pet food.(b) Onions and Garlic are poisonous to dogs and cats(/b) Here is a great list, read at the bottom of the website for other toxins as well http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/storytemplate_process.cfm?story_no=257(b)(/b) So is Broccolli, grapes, raisins, coffee grounds ETC... By Cara RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes My yorkie seems to be burping a lot, and I was told that because I am giving her broccoli and brussel spouts this is very gassy. Can anyone offer a recipe that can be made like a soup with fish and other vegetables. She also seems to be very bloated and my recipe that I am giving her now is ground meat with frozen vegetables including the ones that I mentioned above. Please if anyone out there can help me I would most indebted. Thank you By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes 1lb ground beef (antibiotic &hormone free) 2 cups cooked organic brown rice 1 bag organic mixed vegetables 1-2 lb container of organic yogurt.(I use Vanilla) From a breeder I got this recipe. Ground beef that is antibiotic and hormone free. So the poor dog doesn't get the bloating and gas that we get. Also this recipe calls for raw burger. That is not safe from regular burger from the grocery store, unless it is organic! Look at health food store. Organic vegetable blend like for stir fry put in a food processor. Cook some organic brown rice. Then you combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly! You can freeze it in small containers thawing only as you need it. For small dogs this recipe lasts about 2 weeks. Pets and people have the same symptoms food allergies and other problems due to all the antibiotics in our food. It is sick. I complain to everyone who will listen. FDA and even food companies! Hope it works out for you. You can call a breeder for recipes any time. I did and they were very nice about it. Gave me a safe way to get rid of fleas, ticks, and mosquitos! Listerine and water mixed sprayed on your pet illiminates the use of heartworm pills as I was told they do more liver damage than good. By LisaBee RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes i use frozen chicken that was boiled (cooked), and mix it with rice and chicken broth. They love it so much. With this my dogs lost weight and are healther. It also turned my one dogs life when he is 14 and he didnt what to anything, and had problems, and now he is acting like he is a puppy.

I Have 5 50lbs. plus dogs, all strays, whom I love dearly and since this food recall I have been at a loss as to what to do other than make our own dog food. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I lost my cat to this disaster and I have 1 of my pups undergoing kidney treatment. By Sheree Halliburton RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes For Sherri Haliburton: If you look down the page of the feedbacks, you will notice that I posted my recipe for my yorkie. I buy 2lbs of medium ground meat, add a bag of frozen vegtables, without broccoli or brussel sprouts, cover with water, add some garlic, let it all cook together for about one and a half hour. Then portion out the amount to feed your dog and put in baggies in the freezer. Use as you need and microwave for the day. Very healthy and their bowel movements are really good with this recipe. Good luck with your animals and I hope they pull through fine. So sorry for your loss. Let me know if you need further assistance with this. By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes For Joyce: I noticed your recipe for your yorkie. How much does she weigh and what is the amount of either of the meat that you cook and for how long. I think that the sweet potato gives gas, I am not quite sure. But what does the oatmeal do for them. I never heard of this to cook. My dog has a yeast allergy, do you think the brown rice is good for her. Appreciate your answer. By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes What is considered protein and what is considered carbs for dogs. Pls let me know By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have tried several of your receipes for my 14 year old cocker who now in the last few months is also very sick with kidney disease. I would like to share a treat that we have found that she loves 1 cup of oatmeal 1/2 cup of low sodium chicken broth 1 sweet potato (cooked and mashed) 1/2 cup of wheat flour use teaspoon and drop mixture unto cookie sheet bake at 325 for 10-15 minutes By Debbie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes HI I AM LOOKING FOR ANY RECIPES FOR HOME MADE DOG FOOD THAT ANY ONE CAN GIVE I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD POMERANIAN AND HE CAN EAT TURKEY OR CHICKEN BUT ANY THING ELSE IS GOOD .....THANK YOU By butterflf kisses RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes All of this has scared our family, but I've have cooked for allergies for years so I took out my slow cooker and some organic meats to save my 6 month old puppy. I'm less concerned about the meat I can buy in the butcher shop than what is in the can we have been using. I used carrots, brown rice and rolled oats for the base. I stirred about 1 cup of each together and then I stirred in a pound of ground chicken, 2 pounds stew beef and 1/2 pound of ground pork. Stir it all together and allow it to cook on low for about 4 hours. The juices from the meat will cook the rice and oats. Then I pureed the mix for my dog (she's small) but you can cut them small or decide for yourself. This made about 50 servings! She used to pick at her food, now she cleans the bowl and asks for more. I watched for digestive track changes and she has been better if anything! By Ange RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have a 7 yr old Jack Russell who was diagnosed with numerous food and plant allergies as a puppy. We have been making all her treats as well as food. We boil 10 lbs of chicken with a few carrots and cloves of garlic. De bone the chicken cut up carrots and use some of the broth to cook 1 cup of brown rice, mix together and put into freezer containers. We were told by the vet that green veggies cause gas, and that rice has alot of protien and some dogs are allergic to the protien in rice. Her treats are bacon and garlic bones with whole wheat flour. We also make her salmon brownies and the cat loves these as well. If interested you can email me for the recipies. By debby825 RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi, I have 3 medium size dogs. I am looking for a DRY dog food recipe. I have found plenty of recipe's for dry treats, but not dry food.

Very concerned Mom By angelofdeath7929@aol.com RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi Peggy, I just read on another page that garlic and broccoli are toxic to dogs By Laura RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I've given all my dogs garlic tablets for years. It keeps fleas and ticks from them and they have never had any problems. I boil a pack of calf liver and a bag of chicken thighs, after they cook, I save the broth. Add 2 eggs (good for dog coat), 1/2 cup flour, 1 cup oats and 1 cup shredded carrots, mix up, dice small the chicken and liver, add all together, drop by teaspoons into the boiling broth and cook until done. All my dogs love it. I have 2 chihuahuas, Pekingese and German Shepard, also 6 cats, they like it too. By Shirley RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hello Everyone, I have recently started cooking my dog's food at home in light of the pet food scare. I have consulted a holistic vet as well as several websites and doggie cookbooks. For a dog around 10 pounds: 1 pound of lean or extra lean ground beef 1/4 cup brown rice 1/3 of a sweet potato 4-5 2" X 2" cubes of squash 1/3 of a zucchini 7-8 baby carrots 1/4 of an apple 1 egg When preparing the foods before cooking, cut the vegetables into the proper proportions above. You should freeze veggies you will not use (2/3 of sweet potato etc) in raw form. Boil rice until cooked through. Boil all vegetables in one pot until soft. Boil egg in a pot until done (the yolk should be solid). Cook beef on a skillet. Do not drain the fat. Put veggies, rice and egg (take shell off) into a food processor. Blend until semi-liquid form. Add beef. The end product should be a paste. Put daily portions into containers and freeze. This should make about 6 meals for a 10-pound dog. Meals are half the daily intake so need to feed twice. Provide a vitamin supplement daily. By Priya RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes For Priya: Your recipe sounds good. However my yorkie has a yeast allergy and I was wondering whether the rice or egg would affect her allergy, because I think rice or any dairy product is not good for a dog with this condition. If you know anything about this, could you kindly post it or email me. This would be appreciated. By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Just to let people know broccoli and garlic are good for dogs, some have said it was not. Grapes coffee and raisins can in some rare cases be harmful. By Ralphy RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Why is everyone cooking the food for the dogs????

By Chris Bettencourt RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have a 7 yr old yorkie and he was at the emergency vet for 2 days for pancreatitis. They said that feeding him "people food" aggravated the condition. I know that a lot of what they were referring to was fatty foods. I am so scared to feed him or my Aussie even dry commercial food now due to the recalls. Will it hurt my little guy to feed him homemade "people food"? By doucmpuppiespn RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I use a 1/3 protein to 2/3 starch and vegetable mixture for my German Shepherd. For the protein, chicken livers and gizzards are great! The starch can be rice or oatmeal and for the vegetable I use carrots. Add a little wheat germ and garlic. My dog loves this!

I want to THANK all of you for caring. Kevin, Big Bear City, CA. By KCA1636 RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi, I feed my dogs a homemade diet of cooked hamburger or chicken, fat free chicken broth, cooked carrots and brown rice. I divide it in baggies and freeze it, and just pop one in for them, mixed with their natural dry dog food. I will not give them wet canned food ever again. At nite, I give them non fat yogurt or cottage cheese mixed with a little dry dog food. It's easy and inexpensive, and great peace of mind. By Owner of 5 dogs RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Thank you all for the recipes ideas. I just want to add that regular chicken boullion has too much salt to use. Also organ meats such as liver have too much cholesterol. My vet recommended 2 parts cooked white rice and 1 part hard boiled eggs for upset stomach in dogs since this was easy to digest and let their stomach rest and recoup, So these would be good ingredients to use but since the eggs are high in cholesterol also, I would cut back on them. By cyndel RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hey, My scottie has pancreatitis and I have to watch everything he eats. After several years of changing dog food brands...either he gets tired of it and quits eating or he get sick...I began making his food. I use lean ground beef, well drained; rice and frozen peas and carrots. Once a week I make a big batch, divide it into serving sizes and freeze. When he's ready to eat, I nuke it and add 2-3 Tbs. plain non-fat yougurt. I tell him its Beef Stroganoff and he loves it. He hasn't been ill since I took control of his diet. However, I need a recipe for crisp dry food as a fill-in for when I travel or as a snack for him. Peggy homes4u2000@yahoo.com By Peggy RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Have 2 small terriers that I cook for about every 2 wks. They rarely get commercial "dog food". Both are very healthy. Dogs are OMIVORES rather than just CARNIVORES. (Don't feed raw meat because might be contaminated, especially chicken.) Means they can eat most foods, especially proteins, and a balanced variety, just like us. I buy chicken, ground beef, turkey, catfish, salmon, (or whatever is on sale) and organ meats. About 7 lbs. of mixed meat/fish which I bake in oven with little water. In a big pot I add 1 lb pkg of frozen black eye peas (could be beans, garbanzos, etc.) 4 to 5 big carrots chopped in processor, 1 med. can tomatoes, 1 lb pkg. frozen greens (spinach, collard, etc.) 3-4 cloves chopped garlic, water as needed. For more starch I'll use a lg. sweet potatoe chopped, or 1/2 c. rice. Vegies also include celery, parsely, squash, peas, string beans, (I've never used corn). Mix the meat & veg. freeze in small containers. For breakfast treat I cook scrambled eggs with a hot dog and or grated cheese and milk to cool it off. They love dairy products including yogurt. It's fun to try different healthy foods on your pets. They'll show you what they like. Start small till you get it right. By Rosemary Freskos RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes For Rosemary My yorkie has a yeast allergy and so cannot give her any dairy product. Was also told to stay away from potatoes, and eggs. Cannot understand why but maybe you can help me with this. Do you think this would affect a yeast allergy if I were to cook your recipe. I now cook her Ground medium minced meat with frozen vegetables. But the brocolli and brussels sprouts make her burp a lot as they are gassy. Please get back to me as I am desperate for a good recipe to homecook for a yorkie with this condition. thanks a lot. By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I know that rice noodles are a great thing when it comes to allergies. You can brown ground meat( I also hear lamb is the best for allergies,too), add water, rice noodles,and one veggie at a time (each different time you make it I mean) this way you can see if there is an allergy with veggies as well. Hope this was helpful!! By Dee RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Can someone send me a recipes for a dog with kidney stones. If i feed her anything but chicken she passes blood and pus. please send any recipes that will help my dog. she is 13 year's old now. thank's Rhonda By Rhonda RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes re your dog that passes blood in stool other than chicken. I had this with my dog and this is called lower bowel syndrome. If you homecook for him try minced meat with frozen vegtables in it with a bit of garlic. This he will tolerate and will not get the symptoms you mentioned. Try it, it is worth it. By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hiya guys, i recently became interested in feeding my dog a natural diet, firstly because he seems to have a skin condition (flakiness etc), he tends to get hyperactive on normal dog foods (prob due to the colourings) and also because it will likely save money... and feel better all round. I've decided not to prescribe to a raw food diet, simply because i feel that cooking helps break down the fibres in the veg etc, and makes it easier for the animal to digest. I've been trawling the net for ages now, and reading up etc... and thought that perhaps a few of these links might be helpful to others who perhaps haven't found them: http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/storytemplate_process.cfm?story_no=257 (gives info on possibly toxic foods) http://www.i-love-dogs.com/dog-food-recipes.html (has some recipes, though not all garanteed to be perfectly balanced!) http://www.healthrecipes.com/pet_supply.htm (more recipes!) http://www.expertvillage.com/interviews/homemade-dog-food.htm (some great video clips with useful tips on making meals for your babies!) From what i can understand about the garlic thing and broccoli thing... garlic and broccoli have to be eaten in large amounts for it to have a poisonous effect, onions are dangerous because they have much greater quantities of the poisonous element than garlic. So as long as your careful with the amount of broccoli and garlic and don't give them way too much, then they should be ok... Atleast thats what i've gathered from what i've read around, and the advice from my vet... Oh, and something else thats useful, the video clip above says that you can pressure cook chicken wings etc in a stew, and the bones become soft, and therefore don't splinter and risk your dogs health... I have yet to try it, but it'd be a great way to get more calcium into them... course i'm gona test that advice before i give it to my dog! Hope that helps by the way! Cat >^..^< By nightbird RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes There is a book called "The Holistic Animal Health Book" that has tons of home made recipes for animals in it. By Mythi RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes This is in response to : RE: Homemade Dog and Cat Food Recipes Post By Rita (Guest Post) (04/06/2007) Rita, you were asking for dry food recipies, and I just 'perfected' some really good ones. You can use prety much whatever meat or veggies you want. My vet has told me that its good for dogs to have 60% lean meat, meaty bones, and organ meats, 30% veggies, and 30% starches like rice, whole wheat flour, pasta, potatoes. For crunchier food, use cooked meat For moist bites, use raw meat. 2 parts lean meat (ground turkey, etc) 1 part veggies (carrots, corn, squash) Blend all ingredients together using a blender or food processor. Using a strainer or just your hands, squeeze the excess liquid from the mash, and save it in another bowl. Working with the new drier mash, gradually add in eggs and either rice flour or whole wheat flour. You're trying to get dough like consistency. Take the dough and roll it into small kibble sized balls. Alternatively, you can roll out tubes and slice them into kibble. (Don't make the bites too big. You want to ensure that the meat cooks fully) Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray, and place a single layer of kibble. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn/Stir up the kibble and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. Can be left to sit out for 24 hours when offereing to your pet. *****For your cat, you will want to add very little vegtables, and as little flour as possible. When picking veggies for cats, try to think of what might be in an animal's stomach when your cat would catch it. (Grasses, greens, etc.) I hope this helps and I'd love your comments on it. By Chris Bettencourt RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I am using a mixture of 1 family size beef stew 1 bag of frozen peas and carrots and beef broth and brown rice. Take the meat package in a dutch oven 2 tbs. Olive oil. Brown meat add 1 bag of peas and carrots and 1 cup of beef broth low salt. Cook until meat is done about 40 mins. Add 2 cups of brown rice (min rice does well) i have 2 lab pit bull mixes and they were on pedigree can and 1 scoop of dry food 1 can equals 2 cups of this mixture. Put in freezer bags. I get about 8 meals out of this. For the dry food i use 3 pieces of whole wheat toast cooked well done. Let it cool down so it's hard. I make 3 days worth and put in plastic bag. My boys have been on this since the start of the food recall and love it. I also do the same thing with chicken hearts and gizzards cooked the same way with chicken broth and the veggies and rice. I give them beef one day and then chicken the next. By JAN RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi everyone I am very interested in cooking for my dogs and i have a pretty good idea of what to make and ratio of protein, starch and vegetable but I have a question about how much of the mixture to feed the dogs? I have a 3 1/2 lab/pit mix who isn't very active shes 70-75 lbs. I also have a very active 2 yr old 60-65 lb mutt (we think hes a shepard mix). I know it will vary with each dog I just want a guideline of about how much each would need daily. If you could email me at sweettigger.25 AT hotmail.com I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks By sweettigger RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes i have a 13 year old chow-welsh corgie mix all the food thats been recalled i dont know what to feed him.he likes chicken and beef. he won't even eat by himself i have to feed him with a spoon. i want to cook for him but dont know what. please help? By sally RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi Everyone I was wondering how much a 65 lb and 75 lb dog would need each day if i cooked their food one is not very active she is 3 1/2, my 2 yr old is extremely active. I know it will vary with each dog i just want a guideline so i know how much to make and to offer them. Thanks for your help. By SweetTigger RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I've been making my own dogfood for about 2 weeks now and they love it. I have two 15 lb "Jacks" who begged for treats all the time. Now that they eat my homemade food, they hardly ever want the treats. I found so many great dog food recipes on a web site called "recipezaar.com" and another called "Suite101.com". I began digging old meat out of the bottom of my chest freezer and grinding it in my food processor and using the recipes as suggestions for what to add. I also bought some BREWERS YEAST, a nutritional supplement and added it, wheat germ and olive oil to the recipes. They are much happier doggies now, even the 16 yr. old! This is my baby boy who used to always be hungry- - not anymore. Now I know what he's eating and all of us are a lot happier. By Anderbarbk RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I've been cooking a mixture of brown rice and chicken for my large Akitas. They don't like veges. Anything else I can add for more fiber,and nutrition? (b)Editor's Note:(/b) You could try grating carrot and cooking it with the rice, add a little and see if they will eat it, then try putting a little more in each batch.

You can get small containers with lids very cheap at the grocery store deli then freeze, pop in microwave. If you can get to the grocery store early in the morning you can get deals on discounted meat. Oh yea, I also add a little fish and flax seed oil. My dogs are very healthy and happy.

Thanks By gloria RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Any information about feeding a large dog: Newfoundland at 155 pounds? By Marilyn RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I started making my own dogfood for my scottish terrier several years ago. He had skin rashes and I had tried every commercial food. I found this recipe in a book at the library and it had a chart comparing the nutritional value to commercial foods. It was comparable to an expensive food. My dog is healthy, loves the food and his rashes have cleared up. I have passed this on to several friends. 1 # BROWN rice 1 meaty soup bone 1/4 cup parsley 1/4 cup olive, canola or safflower, oil Simmer all ingredients EXCEPT oil until rice is soft...about one hour. Remove bone. ( I let my dog chew it to keep his teeth healthy). Drain any remaining liquid. Stir in oil. Let cool and store in a sealed container in fridge. It is easy and lasts my dog about one week. By Karrie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes For Karrie: Your recipe sounds right, however would like to know how much brown rice to use for this recipe also what kind of bone do you buy. Sounds easy and good. Thanks for your reply. Appreciate your reply and will try this as soon as I see your answers for this.

I don't have a book or a website yet but I have a lot of good ideas and recipes that work. catjane06 AT yahoo.com By Jane vitamin supplements I read everywhere that you need to supplement homemade dog foods with a good vitamin supplement. Can someone recommend one? I notice that some a very expensive and some seem very reasonably priced. Is there a significant difference? What vitamins specifically do I need to supplement? By blb4711 @ excite.com RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi there just make boiled white rice mixed with cooked chicken breast . Good Luck By Vincent Vitamin Supplements Just posting to the comment about vitamins with homemade food recipes. One good one is Canine Plus, available at any vet. office and you can add a fish oil tablet for ( skin/coat) and a calicum tablet- ask vet. how much per pound of weigh and you should cover all the vitamins your dog will need.

Berman RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes does anybody know how to treat a dog with a skin allergy and what to do for this and what to feed thanks for your reply By gloria. RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I would like to THANK WNR for her great tips and recipes. my DOGS LOVED THEM WNR- I will call you again Thank you to ck. out WNR go to thewildliferadio By Nathaha Stanton RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have a small dog and she loves raw or cooked asparagas. I noticed none of the recipes have asparagas in them. Does any one know if it is bad or good for dogs? Since the recall I have been making her dog food she use to be a very finicky eater and would let her food sit for hours or I would throw it out. Now she waits to be feed and eats it all. I buy a large bag of frozen chicken breast it will last weeks (boneless & skinless) while I make my coffee and do my dishes I make the dog food for the week it takes less then 30 minutes. Put about 4 frozen chix breast (or other meat) in a glass dish with about 1/2 cup water Add 2 to 4 cut up or shredded carrots About a cup or more if desired of frozen aparagas pieces (or other veggies your dog likes). We eat a lot of fresh aparagas and I keep my left over pieces off the ends of asparagas and freeze them. About a cup or more of cooked rice (I cook a lot at one time and keep it frozen I break it off to use as needed) Microwave the mixure with a lid on it for about 7 or 8 minutes on high. The chicken will mostly thawed and partcially cooked. Cut up the chicken in large chunks stir and put back in the microwave for another 5 or 6 minutes or until done. I shred the chicken and mince the veggies or put in all in a blender for a few moments. Add about 5 tablespoons of "vita gravy" (about 1 tablespoon per day of food). I bought it at pet store (to fill in her vitamins). My dog doesn't like too much rice or veggies I put about double the meat to rice & veggies. Refrigerated it will last about a week for a small dog. Or seperate it and freeze it in individual bags. My dog perfers it slightly warm or room temp so I heat about 3/4 cup in the micro for 30 seconds before serving. Thanks to the recipes here I will try mixing it up with hamburger, chicken liver, eggs, peas, sweet potatoes and yogurt for a varitiy. By Paula RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have 5 dogs: 2 terriers, 2 beagles and a Pekingese. Since the dog food recall, I have been making my own food for my girls. I am looking for what kind of veggies I can put in with their food that is safe for them. I have been either boiling them ground beef and rice or chicken and rice but I would like to add veggies to their diet also. Any ideas, please email me at sasyblueyedbabe AT aol.com By Leslie RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes does anyknow of a good recipe for dog food for my 6month old yorkie???do not want to feed him the science puppy food no longer since some of science food were on the recall list By dcontreras RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes this might helphttp://dogs.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_make_your_own_dog_food By maxy RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes and Garlic or not Garlic Hi Everyone, I was happy and impressed to see this great site! Well, my three yr old Yorkie has been dining on home made food for the last week or so. The morning I heard about the venison Natural Balance recall -which I had just started giving him-, I decided to start cooking for my Yorkie. Raw diet probably would be even better, I know. However, I need to educate myself a little more to get to that point. Since I started cooking for him, the hot spot on his leg simply vanished and he loves eating what he thinks is 'mommy food'. Of course, I do not give him any spice, salt, fat (olive oil is o.k.), fried foods, desserts, ice cream, chocolate etc. Well, here is what I feed him with: For dogs; it has to be always %25 meat (ground beef/chicken/egg/salmon canned or fresh/lamb, NO PORK, veal is o.k.) %75 carbs+grains, veggies (no grainy veg's for cats); celery, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower(just a little)brussel sprouts(not much)green beans, bok choy or Chinese cabbage rains/yams, rolled oats (cooked 20') /barley flakes/millet/couscous. You will find that dogs do not digest rice well. Even if it is brown rice. IMPORTANT:NO ONIONS FOR THE KITTY! GARLIC IS GOOD FOR DOGS+CATS also HELPS TO KEEP THE PESTS AWAY. Apples, banana, cantalope (a small piece) are good for them too. 1 Tbs yogurt, cottage cheese also o.k. I would give all of the above veggies either in pairs or singly at a time. The grains should be fully cooked. Veggies should be mushed, serve at room temp. And, please try ORGANIC. Also, give dogs chewy treats (only natural) and a very good supplement (I am trying to find a GOOD one myself for my Yorkie at the moment). Enjoy life, the planet and your wonderful animal companions!

Personally, I'll be at the bookstore this weekend in the doggie/kitty cookbook section. Doggy Fish Dinner 1 can of salmon (bones removed) 1 egg beaten 3 Tbsp cornmeal 1 potato 1 carrot 1 stick celery 1 Tbsp peanut butter Combine salmon, egg, and cornmeal and mix well, form into patties, and coat them with a little more cornmeal. Fry in a tiny amount of canola oil until brown on both sides. Chop patties into small bites and stir together with chopped and boiled vegetables. A spoonful of cottage cheese may be stirred in for moisture if desired. Finish off dinner with peanut butter as dessert. Doggy Hamburger Helper 1 cup hamburger meat, stir-fried in 1 tbsp canola oil 2 boiled eggs, chopped 1/2 cup cooked plain oatmeal 1 jar baby food green beans 1 jar baby food carrots 2 Tbsp cottage cheese Combine all ingredients and serve at room temperature. A good doggy multivitamin/mineral supplement may be added for good measure. Be sure to store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and discard any remains after 3 days. Doggy Casserole 1 cup boiled poultry, chopped 1/2 cup cooked brown rice 1/2 cup boiled mixed vegetables 3 to 4 Tbsp unsalted chicken broth (Note: Salmon may occasionally be substituted for boiled poultry, with chicken broth omitted.) Stir together and serve at room temperature. A good doggy multivitamin/mineral supplement may be added for good measure. Be sure to store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and discard remains after 3 days.

Add 1/4 pound beef liver and fry on both sides until cooked but not dry inside. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and mix it up with all the brown bits. For dogs, cut the liver into pieces and serve; for cats, grind the liver in a blender, using the pan juices By LuAnne P RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have been making my papillon's dog food for 4 weeks now.. He has stopped begging for treats and his fur looks better already... I buy the bags of frozen chicken breast, I cook 2 at a time in the microwave, this takes 10 mins (this lasts 3 to 4 days for a small dog) ... then chop them in small pieces and keep in a baggie and keep in the fridge.... Then daily I make a base of either brown rice, cheerios or wheat bread, cubed... Add chicken, vegies, cottage cheese or shreaded cheese and serve.... Slightly moisten with milk, water, broth or what have you.... By Mackyh RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I have two beagles but my eldest beagle had some problems in the past with eating liver. Hence I will not be feeding my dogs liver. Period. Too much of anything is not a good thing and I strongly believe that feeding my dogs organs from animals on a regular basis simply can't be good. Think about what you are feeding your animals. I ask you all to think hard before feeding you animals raw meat as well. Should you decide to do so please keep a close watch on your beloved pets. Blood in their stool is a sign of a serious problem. I just ask that we all be careful here, as I am extremely cautious as to what I feed my 'babies' here. I constantly watch them for signs and symptoms. If we were to eat raw meat or raw eggs do you realize the risk and dangers with that? Same thing goes for your beloved pets. Please visit with your vet and keep in touch with him/her. Also, watch your pet's coat whether they are a dog or cat. If their hair falls out after you change their diet-there could be a problem there too. I just want everyone to realize that if you truly love your companions, your pets, your other family members you'll go that extra step for them as they always do for you. I would truly like to thank each and every one of you for helping all of us out! I makes me sick to see these sites who want to charge for recipes. This is one of the BEST I've seen yet. A community of people for ther pets! This is a really nice place to visit. I've bookmarked it!! See you later on everyone. By Mary Myers RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes Hi Everyone: This is a great recipe for a homecooked food. 1 cup of Brown Rice, 1/2 cup of turkey, (brown the turkey to take out the pink) add vegetables, such as spinach, celery, green beans and grate some carrots. Cook these all together, then add to the brown rice. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Very healty, bowel movements are perfect. Also give your pet a multivitamin every day, and you will see how well your pet will do on this diet. I have been doing this for three months now and it is wonderful. Try it, you will see the difference this makes. GOod luck.

Thank you again for all your kind emails Wendy Nan Rees By Wendy Nan Rees Homemade Dry Dog Food Question I travel quite a bit and want to start making my own dog food. When I'm at home (with stove, oven, refrigerator, etc) it's no problem. However, I don't know how to make my own dog food that is dry. I need for the food to last for at least 2-3 weeks without refrigeration. Does anyone know how I would make dry homemade dog food? Thanks!

By hobo aka ken smith RE: Homemade Dog Food Recipes I am looking into making my own dog food but am confused? I thought Dogs and Cats were carnivores that get some veggie matter from their victims stomachs, they also eat eggs when whey raid nest. Rice, oats, rye and barley are the fillers that dog food companies add to cut down on the more expensive meet products and make their food go farther. What wild dog eats rice and wheat unless it raids a garbage dump--large amounts of carbs and no fats are bad for humans who are omnivores wouldn't they be worse for carnivores who stomachs don't contain the same microbes to break down the sugars so why would dogs and cats need any type of carbs other than some veggies? So shouldn't a dog food recipe be higher in meat and fats with some veggies and no rice, oats, barley, wheat or rye to be healthy and hypo allergenic. I know that wheat, rye oats and barley are deadly to 1 in 144 people and causes many of human health problems and we are omnivores - so why would these be good for a carnivore? (b)Editor's Note:(/b) Although cats are carnivores, dogs are omnivores like people. Dog's are scavengers and will eat a lot of things that cats won't. Although I had a cat a long time ago that would eat beans and pasta and leave the meat. My dog does fine with rice, veggies (carrots, celery, green beans) and chicken or turkey with the broth. She loves it and gobbles it up. I've heard that 1/3 meat to 1/3 veggies to 1/3 grain is a good mix for dogs. As for allergies, each pet is different but you take a chance with any store bought food, too.
