| home cook How many home cook for their yorkie? I've decided to home cook instead and I have noticed good weight gain because she was very small for a 7-8 month old. Also, all these recalls are getting out of hand and ridiculous so i've decided to cook for her instead |

| awesome You guys are awesome to home cook for your little ones! I'm thinking of doing the same. I read about the poor dogs who ate the contaminated food.

| I just ordered Dr. Pitcairn's book, and I'm supposed to be getting it this week. I have read that it is very helpful and contains a lot of information on dog health and has recipes.

| I ground all the meats, whether it be veal, beef, chicken ect. I steam my veggies, zucchini, butter squash, celery, very little broccoli, basically I do a rainbow of color with the veggies and whatever is in season. Steam the brown rice then mix everything together, sometimes I use oats or pasta. once or twice a week they get omelets. I also grate a little garlic clove on the food. Liza |

| 90% of romeo's food is home cooked but i still give him his science diet to munch on and leave that out for him all day. his vet says he is a very healthy little boy! at his last visit - 11 weeks old - he weighed 2.65 pounds. he loves yogurt and green beans! (not together ) and he really likes brown rice in which i add either chicken or ground beef. i am going to try introducing green peas to him to see how that goes.

| I have been cooking also. I get a little nervous about adding flavors so I haven't been, but my Holly is thankful for anything that I give her. I have made her boiled chicken with rice and peas, and also some peanut butter balls that a very nice member gave me. She LOVES peanut butter. I have also given her a little bit of mashed potatoes (no butter) and carrots. I would love some new recipes. I too am a little nervous about the recalls.
