Polo's Meatloaf

1 can of canned Tuna
1 can of canned Chicken
1 cup of brown rice
1 cup of Chopped Green Beans
1 cup of Chopped Carrots
1/3 cup of shredded Parmesan Cheese

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl including juices of the Canned Tuna And Canned Chicken spray a meatloaf pan and cook at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes cool and slice and serve!

I made this recipe up Polo loves it when I add it to his Kibble he licks the bowl clean

I cook for my Maltese, who has MVD(microvascular dysplasia, a liver anomoly). I am considering doing the same for my new addition, Tank the Yorkie.

Because Pico's MVD requires a special diet I don't have recipes for a healthy dog and was interested in this thread. However, I see that most of the recipes do not add calcium and that is an important need for dogs. I use Calcium Carbonate (NOW brand) in Pico's recipes and I also supplement with a few drops of salmon oil upon serving. They also both get a probiotic every morning.

There is another website I found extremely informative but i don't know if I can mention it here. The owner is a Phd in animal nutrition and they also sell supplements for animals. I got this diet from them.

Here's my recipes for a liver-impaired diet:

CHICKEN:
6 boiled eggs
18 oz pumpkin
32 oz cooked oatmeal
24 oz poached chicken breast
2 1/4 tsp calcium carbonate

FISH:
6 boiled eggs
18 oz steamed pureed green beans, squash, carrots, in any proportion
32 oz cooked brown rice
24 oz poached cod
2 1/4 tsp calcium carbonate

Chicken gets pulverized in the food processer. Veggies get pureed the same way. As do the eggs. The fish I just mash apart with my fingers.

Mix each recipe separately and for my 5.5lb Maltese I put a generous 1/3 cup in a snack baggie, flatten it out and freeze. Then I take out one of each recipe and give him 1/2 of the chicken recipe for one meal of the day, and 1/2 of the fish recipe for the second meal of the day. Liver dogs eat small, more frequent meals.

Because of his liver he also gets Marin and Denosyl along with the salmon oil and probiotic.

Hope this helps someone

these recipes are great and the BRAVO'S BODACIOUS HEARTY BURGER STEW sounds good i want to try it myself

how about drinks or adding anything to their water sometimes i feel bad that all my dog drinks is water im scared that he might get tired of is there anything out there. or is water the only thing they should be drinking

Simple chicken broth recipe:
In the evening just before going to bed ----
Put whole chicken in crockpot and cover with filtered water
Turn on low and forget until morning.
Turn crockpot off -- let cool enough to handle
Strain broth and put in the refrigerator -- the fat will get hard and you can discard it.
Pour the defatted chicken broth into the ice cube trays and freeze
I feed these delightful treats outside because they are messy
LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Bone the chicken and make fresh home-made chicken salad for dinner (impress someone --maybe YOURSELF!)

Simple Beef Broth Recipe:
Use beef Shanks -- they are tough cuts of meat that are very tasty and excellent for soup and broth..... they have a round bone that makes the best and safest chew toy too.....

In the evening just before going to bed
Place shanks in the crockpot cover with filtered water
Turn crockpot on low and forget until the morning
Turn crockpot off and cool slightly
Strain broth and refrigerate so that any fat will float to the top and harden
Scrape off fat, fill trays and freeze.

Use the beef to make a stew or soup. Yummy!

Great recipes, I will use my nifty pressure cooker for these and spoon the floating fat out..should take less than 30 minutes thanks!

HI!
My mom is a health fanatic! So, she decided that our yorkie would live by the same standards that she sets for our family. At one time, she had a Westie on a raw food diet because the breeder requested that she keep the dog on the same diet she had the dog on before she purchased it. Well, that dog came down with a disease that our vet and never seen and died. Now my mom has taken the safe route and makes organic meals for Mimi, our yorkie. No need to use organic - That's just my mom!!

Breakfast
- 2 Tbs. of cooked organic oatmeal with ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
- diced up poached organic chicken (She cooks a few breasts of organic chicken each week and cuts portions from that for each meal) or 1 Hardboiled Organic Egg
- 1 Tbs. of organic goats milk yogart - plain
- a few slices of banana
- blueberries and raspberries
- a sprinkle of Organic shredded cheese
- Mash together with fork and serve

Lunch/Dinner
- 2 Tbs. of Organic mashed potatoes with a bit of garlic to keep fleas away or organic brown rice cooked in the chicken broth.
- diced up poached organic chicken or Alaskan salmon
- 1 to 2 Tbs. of organic apple sauce
- 1 to 2 Tbs. of organic Yam or pumpkin cooked and mashed
- organic carrots diced into small pieces
- a few pieces of organic spring mix salad - greens
- a splash of raw apple cider vinegar to keep intestinal track clean of parasites
- parsley, thyme, and rosemary
- 1 tsp. of organic extra virgin olive oil
- Sprinkle a bit of organic shredded cheese
- mash together with fork and serve

Mimi loves her meals. My mom is currently researching organic supplements for Mimi. She worries that she may be missing some important nutrients. Any ideas on a good organic supplement? Thanks so much!

Incredible! And my friends and family think I am a fanatic. Those recipes are more complex than what I cook for my family!!! I would like to know the benefit of parsley, thyme and rosemary because I could add those to Pico's recipes. I cook and freeze portions and then thaw. Check out www.b-naturals.com. I think they have organic supplements.

Dehydrator I ordered came on Friday
Saturday we went to the commissary and bought some 97% ground beef and some sweet potatoes.
I mixed the ground meat with a beaten egg and a little shredded cheese then added a cooked mashed sweet potato. Formed it into thin strips and put in the dehydrator. Took about 6 hours at 160^.

Beamer and Lil Bit loved them, and SugarMamma was visiting with Sugar Baby, so Sugar Baby got to try them too and she seemed to love them too.

I have them stored in the refrigerator in ziplock bags - but I may just transfer some to the freezer to make sure they keep longer, and just keep enough in the refrigerator for a couple days worth of treats.

Going to dehydrate sweet potato chips next- Sugarmamma brought some treats with her too and some of them were dehydrated sweet potato chips, and although Lil Bit and Beamer didn't seem to care much for them at first, they ate some later. But Bruce liked them anyway - so I can give him a treat when he is good

Hi all,

I am new here. We rescued a 3 year old Yorkie. THis week we had him neutered and they also had to pull 25 teeth. Poor little fellow. When we got him, his teeth were as black as his nose. We worked on the teeth but it was too little too late.. Do you any ideas what I could feed him?? Since he had his teeth pulled on Wednesday, yesterday I gave him some veggie meat baby food. However, I need to regulate his diet more than that. The vet did suggest boiled hamburger and rice. I know he likes rice.. Any idea would be welcome.. especially if you have had something similar happen to your dog.

I never had this problem but when my children was ready for food other than just milk before they had teeth,I made my own baby food.I purchased a little grinder or blender.You use just about any food in this way.Just add what you want to feed for the day add little liquid to it and you can grind it as fine as you need.I don't know why your Vet recomened burger although you may feed that some time.I would think that chicken brown rice not white some carrots,green beans ect is a pretty good diet.I also know that dogs love chicken livers,cheese,eggs.Just stay away from ham and turkey.I don't know why turkey but that's what my baby's beeder told me.I hardly ever bought baby food for my kids.Good luck and hope this helps

[winnipeg]

thanks.. good ideas

Winnipeg,
You may want to start a new thread in this forum (Health and Diet) to make sure everyone sees it. Not everyone may read the Recipe section.

And, before I forget:

Do you give 1/2 of the 1/3 cup that you flattened of the chicken? (and then the same w the fish?) Sorry I got a little confused, lol. Thanks!
