Dog Food Recipes

Does anybody have good and easy to prepare dog food recipes? I‘m not looking for a change in diet, but would like to supplement and add some variety with home made meals. I‘m already boiling meat and rice that is being added to the regular meals. I‘m open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

microwave a chicken quarter and potato , put the chicken quarter in the fridge till it's cold , run the chicken quarter through a meat grinder bones included , mix the ground chicken quarter potato and a raw egg , add a b-complex vitamin and fish oil ……… once in awhile instead of the b complex and fish oil , add a flinstone vitamin …… you can add anything like liver , chicken gizzards , hearts , fish , just throw it in the grinder with the chicken quarter , you can also use sweet potato or rice ……… boiling the chicken takes nutrients out of it , better to microwave it , you can cook it as little or as much as you want , the potato or rice you definitely want to cook ………

I cook up meat...usually chicken or ground beef in a crock pot and when done, remove chicken bones, add rice and let it cook in. It makes a week of meals, which I break up with sockeye salmon just to keep it interesting. Sometimes I get stewing beef, and cook up in a fry pan with some butter at a low heat, turning often. Then I add water and let it simmer for a while. Once it has reached a lovely broth with it, I add (just cause I'm weird like that), a little bit of Bisto to thicken up the gravy and boost the taste. She adores this!

Last night I got some thickly cut round steak, and I simmered it as well, cut it into bite size pieces, and thickened the broth with Bisto. I break it up into meal size portions and the Princess goes wild!

She also gets a good quality kibble and her regular treats, which are fortified with vitamins and minerals. Liver treats, Milk Bone Gravy Bones and Marrow Bones, Denta Sticks...the usual with a bully stick thrown in for good behaviour and as a hedge against boredom...especially now during isolation.

When we have sausages, I make one for her, too. And when busy, I buy a cooked chicken from Metro. I like theirs better than Costco's which don't feel well enough cooked for my liking. Generally, I go to rice for a combination rather than a potato, but it all does the same thing, makes it thicker and more satisfying for them. Occasionally, I mix some mixed veg in, but it isn't her favourite. We had a Beagle once that loved beef stew, and we'd give him a bowl. That dog would lick it so clean that you wouldn't know that it had been used, except for one small clue: all of the peas were licked clean, but left there in silent protest. Nothing green passing that dog's lips, he was a meat and potato type of hound.

This is supplemental feeding rather than a replacement diet, he should be getting the majority of his requirements from his regular food. How often are you thinking of giving him home cooked? Many home cooked diets aren't sufficient for replacing kibble and I know they suggest working with a veterinary nutritionist for long term home cooked diets. I did find this link. I don't honestly know if it's a reliable source of info or not, but it may be helpful.
