Luvs Lulu Donating Member | For those looking to feed home cooked here is a recipe I got from North Shore. Chicken ?N Veg Healthy Pet Meal Here's a tasty one-pot meal that can be made for your dog or cat once a week. Infinite variations are possible, so feel free to experiment based on your pet's individual tastes. Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut up or 6-leg family pack 6 cups water 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats, (or 2 1/2 cups brown rice) 1 lb fresh or frozen mixed vegetables (a combination of green vegetables peas, carrots, corn is great) Optional for health: 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/2 cup brewer's yeast Cooking Directions Place chicken in large, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer 25 minutes or until meat is easy to separate from bone. Remove chicken and set aside, saving chicken broth in pot. In a blender, cover vegetables with hot chicken stock and blend briefly to lightly chop up. Semi-pureed is fine. Add veggies and liquid back into the pot. Add oats and boil 10 minutes (40 minutes for rice), stirring occasionally to keep bottom from sticking. Meanwhile, carefully pull out all bones from chicken and chop or shred meat finely. Add chicken to oatmeal mixture and stir in brewer's yeast and parsley. Allow to cool before serving. Portion out in individual Ziploc packets. Store in refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer. Tasty Variations for Cats (or dogs!) Sprinkle with 1 tsp brewer's yeast or powdered kelp just before serving Add a spoonful or two of canned tuna, or leftover (cooked or raw) fish Add 1/2 cooked egg Tasty Variations for Dogs Add a grated, raw carrot to the meal just before serving Add 1/4 cup cottage cheese or other mild, grated cheese Add 1 tsp olive oil Add 1/4 cup leftover cooked meats

| For those who are useing the missing link or any other vitamin, look to see if it has kelp or brewer's yeast before adding more into the diet. Too much kelp or brewer's yeast can be bad on the kidneys. |

| When my kids were little, I used make their baby food. I would blend it up and freeze it in ice cube trays and then put in bags. It worked great. We could do that too with the dog food and just thaw the little portions-- of course if your dogs eats a lot this probably wouldn't be the best way unless you want to thaw out several cubes. |
