My little girl has been turned into a MONSTER by my adoring husband. He's spoiled her with treats and human food like eggs, chicken etc that she wonlt even touch any kibble now. ( I could KILL Him!) THEN.. if she was hesitating at all with what he gave her, he'd give her something else. So now..she will make herself ILL waiting for us to give her something that appeals to her sat that moment. The nutritionist I spoke to said that fr an adult dog I should shoot for 40% protein ( 50% for puppies) 40% complex carbs, and 20% veggies. I make batches of food and freeze it. My little girl is 3 lbs so a serving for her is a good solid 8th of a cup twice a day. Once the food is done I press it into the little measuring cup firmly and dump onto a baking sheet to freeze. I label the bags with the different recipes an rotate them so she doesn't get tired of any one.

SOme of her favorites

diced beef, quinoa, diced tomato, spinach, and squash * Cook the beef forst then add quinoa to beef with half unsalted stock and half water. The beefy taste will cook into the quinoa.

diced chicken, rice, peas and carrots( break the skin on the peas or they can't digest the celulose coating to get the nutrients) *cook rice with a little unsalted chicken stock.

diced Lamb, potatos ( sweet or regular) , apples, and pears

and if she is REALLY finniky and has waited too long and the bile production has amped up as result, SHe can NEVER resist bacon fried rice.

take a strip of LOW SODIUM (and preferably no nitrates)bacon and cook in a pan until crisp.Leave the oil in the pan. Add 1/2 cup diced organic chicken breast, 1/2 cup cooked rice, 1/8th cup small diced sweet potato, and 1/8th cup frozen peas and carrots. with about 3 tablespoons unsalted chicken stock. Cook until the veggies are soft, chicken is done, and liquid is almost gone. Crumble the bacon strip into tiny pieces. and mix it all up. This is her absolute FAVORITE.. but I only use it when she has made herself ill because even low sodium and no nitrate bacon is still not good for dog.

I also make sweet potato apple, beef and chicken crunches for treats..dice whatever you are using..potato, apple, beef or chicken into small cubes, COok in 250 oven until almost completely dry. Will store for up to a month in the refrigerator. ( if you have any left) Doggis love them!
