| Did anyone ever notice that there is less doggy smell on natural food? The more dog food my puppy eats the more doggy smell she has. |

| That's the main reason I decided to do this. It's not convenient or cheap, but OMG does it smell a lot better Luna gets her food all over her beard and she smelled like a dirty hamster cage, it was RANK I'm hoping that this will help, and it already has! The smell is going away, YAY!

| It took me about 3 hours I don't spend that amount of time on our food either But this will last for well over a month, so it's not bad at all. I'm making a beef version next, tell Muffin to get in the car and start driving And of course she would want to come home, silly!!! You're such a great Mom to her You girls have been through so much lately with her surgeries you know your bond is stronger than ever

| Heehee, I won't tell My girls are super picky and won't eat much without the canned food, so I wanted to do something that would be better for them, or at least less stinky

| This may be a stupid question, but how come you left the shells on the eggs?

| For the calcium Speaking of calcium, I put 3 tablespoons of yogurt on their food at night, and the pet tabs do have calcium in them. I wonder if that's enough?

No Longer a Member | OK, 3 tablespoons of yogurt comes out at 78mg calcium, so it is a good dense source. Here's some numbers to "chew" on Calcium per cup (16 tb in a cup): lowfat yogurt 415mg (26mg per tb) cottage cheese 155mg (10mg per tb) Calcium per ounce (1 oz is 1/4 cup shredded or a 1" cube solid): cheddar cheese 204 mg I wonder if instead of a tums, if you could get one of those solid, swallowable calcium tablets (like oscal) and dissolve it into the broth you cook the rice in... |

No Longer a Member | It doesn't count the shells, I could look that up online, but divided by 16 cups, I figured it couldn't be that much. Lemme dig around and see what I find... |

No Longer a Member | Ok, here's what I found. The good news is that egg shells are a good source of calcium. 1 tsp of finely ground egg shells has 1900mg. This would be a tsp of pure powdered egg shell, The only thing is I cannot find a per shell amount. This website I found has some interesting information on using egg shells in dog food. http://www.pet-grub.com/part1/scene9.pets. I'm thinking it would take more than 4 eggshells, but that is something you could save from all your cooking to throw in there. |
