1 can of Mackerl
1 cup brown rice
1 cup rolled oats
1 can green beans
8 cups water
1 apple cored and cut into small squares or pieces
Take the bones out of the mackerl and flake the pieces of Mackerl into a 2 quart pan along with the liquid from the can. Add the rest of ingredients, cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour, stirring every now and then. Take off burner and let cool.
Store in plastic gallon ice cream bucket in fridge and serve for lunch and dinner to your dog. We heat ours up in the microwave for 2 minutes to give the dog a warm meal. ( we feed something different for breakfast)

*Just* found your blog thanks to Miser Mom! I commend you for thinking outside the bag when it comes to dog food. Big fan of that myself. However, as I look over your recipes, there are some missing ingredients. Ingredients that really need to be there if you are doing *no* commercial food whatsoever. I would seriously consider diversifying the veggies used - kale, parsley, dark leafy greens, purple cabbage - to get a more complete vitamin panel. Boneless skinless chicken breast, is also not enough. Dogs need a variety of meats, particularly some organs and connective tissue found in bones, necks, wings. You are also costing yourself a lot of the nutritional content with extended cooking times. The diet you advocate is certainly better than your average back of Alpo, but long term I'd be concerned about issues of vitamin deficiency. Wheat, also a super common allergen for many dogs btw.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Dogs or Dollars, I did not think of purple cabbage! I do feed her much more than what the recipes here show though, these are just a few of the many. We do feed her batches with leafy greens such as turnip greens, dandelion greens and collards and she gets salmon, lean beef, liver and other types of meats as well, it all depends . We have not had any problems with the wheat cereal but I will take that into consideration.
DeleteShe also gets breweres yeast and cod liver oil, along with small amounts of yogurt or berries too.
She really does get a nice variety that is hard to show without posting every single recipe and doing a whole post of how much, when and frequency of diets!
Thanks so much for your commenting it is full of great advice!
