Sounds like they really enjoyed your home cooking |
I like this recipe, I was wondering if it would be okay to feed this to a 7 week old pup?:confused: Madison is so picky, she won't eat dry kibble, I have to mix it with canned puppy food, or boiled chicken, and then she just picks at it, I also have been thinking about cooking for her but I am scared it will make her sick or she will not get enough good stuff in her diet. Thanks for the info about the eggshells, I think that will come in handy:D |
I started cooking chicken, veggies and rice dinner for my boys because one of them refused to eat dog food and because of it he would get sick. It got so bad that I was having to force feed him. NOW that I cook, the picky eater is a total pig who I now have to keep an eye on or he will try to eat the other dogs food if the look away for one second. |

You might want to show a copy of this recipe to your vet and get their opinion, just to be on the safe side. Good luck, I hope he starts eating better:love: |
Please don't let Simon and Hallie see this thread! I can just hear it now "Moooooommmmmmmmmm Luna and Izzy get good food, our green beans and carrots just aren't cutting it anymore. We are packing up and heading south!" :eek: |
I thought I'd dig this thread back up. :) I found something really cool at the local feed store. Solid gold makes a supplement called steamed bone meal (it's made from beef bones). It is in powder form and 1 teaspoon adds 1368mg calcium and 684 mg phosphorus. Steamed Bonemeal at the Solid Gold website The calcium issue is all that has been holding me back from making my own, so I'm looking forward to trying this. I picked up some whole chickens and some brown rice today, so I can't wait. Misty |
Hi Misty~:D I did buy some bone meal powser, GMTA:laugh: It's a human grade one from a health food store. I asked my vet and he okayed it and also said that the homemade food sounds great. They eat kibbles all day here and there, and a little at night in their xpen while settling in for the night. So he said that would be good enough for their teeth, along with the bully sticks:thumbup: They're just thriving right now, if only we can get Izzy potty trained, ugh! She's one of those that will be good most of the time, then as soon as you let her into the living room, she jumps up on the couch and pees:rolleyes: |
Since they've been on the homemade food now for a little while, tell me: how is their poop (sorry :o )? I'm hoping that with all the rice, that her poop stays firm enough to not stick...kwim? LOL Got my brown rice cooking right now... ;) |
Funny you should mention the poo:laugh: I was going to say something about that in my last post, but thought that I would be going overboard:p FANTASTIC (well, as fantastic as poop can be:rolleyes: ) Firm, less stinky, less sticky:thumbup: Of course they get Missing Link also, that's full of fiber as well. I can't wait to hear how y'all like the food:D |
Gracie is having yet another bout of diarrhea. She must have gotten into something at the park because nothing in her diet has changed. As usual, she loves the bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. This got me thinking about home cooking for her. It would probably be less expensive than what I am spending now on Merricks. I would like to use the home cooked with kibble. My question for all of those that do this, have you run the recipes by your vet and did your vet recommend any supplements? I want to make sure that Gracie is getting a nutritionally complete diet. Also, what do you do when you have to board your dogs? Do you bring a supply of the home cooked food with them? |
Poor Gracie, I hope that the runny butt stops soon:( My vet said that it sounded fantastic:thumbup: I do add a drizzle of olive oil, Missing Link, and a pinch of bone meal to each serving. OH, and plain yogurt, about 2 tablespoons per day, divided between the 2 meals, for each girl. They have done very well on this food, and they do still eat their kibbles whenever they want to, they're down all the time. In addition, I also use PetzLife on their teeth and they get bully sticks. Luna used to stink to high Heaven from the canned food, she smells much better now:thumbup: I bet that she'd LOVE the homemade diet;) My girls clean their plate now:laugh: |

I get the bone meal at my health food store. Just call around, someone will have it. It was about $8 for a bottle that will last a long long time, since I only add a pinch. There's already a few sources of calcium in the food, this is just a little insurance:laugh: |
