With our dogs we have yet to cook something for them. But we have given them some fresh treats. I know Gus loves having banana and strawberries slightly blended and put in his Kong and freeze it. Organic carrots, not baby ones he just goes crazy for as well. Sometimes some a small piece of grass fed organic roast beef slices.

Generally speaking, commercially produced dog foods, especially those that have been certified by national veterinary societies, provide a good, safe and convenient way of feeding your dogs. However, some people find that their dogs are sensitive to some of the preservatives in these foods and want an inexpensive alternative. Other people worry about what they should be feeding their dogs at times when they have let the dog kibble supply run out, or are in some circumstance where commercial foods are not available. Some other people simply don't feel that the monotonous diet of the same kibble all of the time is good for their dogs, while others worry about trace nutritional elements that might be missed any one set diet.

Actually a nutritious and balanced diet based on ?people food? is easy to prepare.

A 12 oz portion is suitable for one day?s ration for a 20 lb dog.
4 oz (1/2 cup) protein ? any meat, chicken, fish or eggs (all cooked).
4 oz carbohydrate ? for example cooked rice or grains, pasta, cooked cereals such as oatmeal, potatoes or even bread (packed tight when measuring).
4 oz vegetables ? any cooked vegetables (obviously not potatoes or other high carbohydrates). Carrots, broccoli, turnips, green peppers, green beans, etc., but not onions which contain high sulfur content which is bad for dogs.
Simply mix the contents together or not as you choose.
While this basic diet is balanced it can be improved by some simple supplements.

To mix the basic supplement use
1 cup debittered brewers yeast
1 cup wheat germ
2 cups powdered milk
? cup powdered kelp
Mix together and store in a cool dry place.
To improve the diet quality add 1 tsp of the basic supplement for each 12 oz portion of the food mixture and 1 tsp vegetable oil (I prefer corn oil or flax oil since they have high content of linoleic acid which is good for the dog?s skin).
12 oz of the basic diet is appropriate for a 20 lb dog, you would double this daily ration for a 40 lb dog, triple it for a 60 lb dog or halve it for a 10 lb dog. Watch the dog?s weight and adjust portion sizes accordingly.
Hi, I have a question. Is this basic recipe suitable for a puppy? I have a little girl who is only 4 months old, but I also have a little boy who is 6years old. I am looking for a noon commercial food for all of the obvious reasons, but the big reason is they both have very dry itchy skin and I think home made would be healthier. She weighs about 3lbs. And he weighs about 5lbs.

I cook stew meat for my babies every morning and have added macaroni sprinkled with parmesan cheese and a few frozen veggies mixed in. My little guy is almost 17, blind and deaf, and he seems to like it. The macaroni seems to clear up upset tummies, too.

I am totally loving this thread! So many great ideas!

I cook for Daisy and supplement with high quality commercial kibble. Someone posting about adding yogurt. I make homemade yogurt. Can she eat that. The yogurt I make is plain with no added sweeteners. The recipe is skim milk, powdered milk and yogurt starter.

Thanks.

Smile Homemade dog food

Hi to everyone. I don't get the chance to talk or reply very often. But today I wanted to give my recipe. Being that the men in my family are big hunters they fill my freezer with deer pork. So my babies max and Molly love their deer meat stew. Here's the recipe. 2 lbs of browned deer burger 1 cooked sweet potato. I cooked apple(skinned and cored) 2tbs of ground flax seed. 2 tbs of olive oil or coconut oil. Green beans cooked. Yellow squash cooked. A couple pieces of cooked bacon and grated cheese. Mix all together and leave chunky or grind with food processor. Can add brown rice. Steel cut raw cooked oats and can add chicken to the recipe or substitute the deer with the chicken. I also add blueberries and orange slices when I have them. Can cook in crock pot. Hope this helps. I keep kibble made by blue fir nibbles during the day. From max and Molly's mom

Some Things to Watch Out For
When preparing homemade dog treats, make sure you take into account any allergies that your pet has to specific ingredients. You will want to avoid adding any ingredient that you know that your pet has reacted poorly to in the past. If you are experimenting with new flavors, feed the treat to your dog in a small amount to see how he reacts to it before distributing an entire treat. Store your homemade dog treats in an airtight container and place them in the freezer. Allow the treat to thaw for 10 – 20 minutes prior to serving to your dog. Treats can last for up to 6 months in the freezer.

Default help

I have a two and a half year old Yorkie poodle mix. Though he is a mix he has recently shown signs of some typical Yorkie food issues. I have had him for a little over two years. He recently suffered from stress induced colitis. I spend most of my time volunteering for a local animal rescue. I am fairly low income and am looking for a healthy but simple way to make my boys food. He wont eat when we travel, if my daughter spends the night at a friends, or if anything stress' him out. I love my boy and want to make sure he is getting what he needs. Does anyone have a cheaper, yet healthy recipe for an every day food? Any help is much appreciated.
