| chicken and rice When you make this for your pups, how do you do it? Do you use white or dark meat? White or brown rice? I wanna try it for Chloe to see if she will eat better. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

| Boil one chicken (no onions or salt),cook white or brown rice in chicken broth from chicken (2cps broth one cp rice). In a separate pot cook cut up baby carrots and peas (I use frozen peas),start with a little and see if your baby likes them,you can add more next time if you wish. Cut up about a cp of chicken that you boiled,drk or lite is up to you,I mix. Again you can add more next time. Mix together,I serve approx. 2 or 3 TBL with a bit of kibble on top for breakfast. This will keep for only a few days in the frig. I freeze part of it and take out as needed. I make triple this once a month for 5 dogs. |

| I think cooking for you pup is wonderful but if it is their main sours of calories and nutrients be sure you are feeding a diet that meets their needs. I use a recipe I got from the Balance-it web site. The vet is a certified vet nutritionist. I have purchased the supplement to add to the food. Good luck and happy cooking

| I only plan on this being an occasional dinner. If I plan on cooking more and it being the main source, I will definitely get the balance it supplement. Thanks

| I will usually just buy a boneless skinless chicken breast.. boil it and serve. I will also cook a sweet potato and mix it with the chicken instead of using rice.

YT 2000 Club Member | When Teeka was sick, I stopped at a local Chinese restaurant and bought her some steamed rice. I then boiled her a chicken breast tender. She loved it!

Then either rice (usually white) or sweet potato, plus peas, carrots, sweetcorn and green beans. Plus his supplement on top, as it's his 'main meal' of the day It's everso scrummy..... Sally + Harry x | |

I want to double, triple how important it is to have the correct supplements. Cathy is very knowledgeable about this. I read a story of a pet owner who fed her dog just chicken and rice and how sick that dog became because of a nutritional defencency. In fact his bones became brittle. .. Just like us if we don't eat a variety of foods. My vet is not "pro" homecooking but he does say if you do be sure you get the information from a vet nutritionist.
