Ok, I got tired of seeing Lucas stick his (cute) lil nose up in the air every time I fed him canned (or dry...) dog food so I decided to try home-cooked meals for him. After reading the posts here, I came up with a simple recipe. Even though I used only foods I found posted here (I think!) I wanted to double-check with those of you who are familiar with cooking for your babies. Also, I'm wondering how much I should feed him? Silly dog will eat as much as he's given if he likes a food!
Here's my "recipe"
1 lb. ground turkey, cooked
3-4 chicken livers (cooked without oil)
1 package petite carrots, boiled in unsalted water and pureed
1 can peas, drained
about 1/2 package whole wheat spaghetti (the small package), cut into small pieces
I browned the turkey in just a bit of water, then added the livers and cooked in the same pan while the turkey finished cooking. I added the can of peas and the pureed carrots and then mixed in the chopped spaghetti. It was a little dry so I added about 2-3 tablespoons of milk and a little hot water from the carrots.
I gave Lucas a spoonful and he gobbled it up, licked his bowl clean for a nice change!
Does this sound all right for my baby? and how much should he be given each day? He's a year and a half, so full grown but still active.
TIA!
