| This is from a friend in Sarasota.... I had to increase the serving size because Taylor is a "JORKIE" = "Jumbo Yorkie This makes only about 2 weeks worth for Taylor... but he's a big guy. In a large pan I very briefly sauté in 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 pound of ground chicken and 1 pound of beef, add a total of 9 cups of half water/ half unsalted chicken broth, stir in 3 cups of millet and let simmer. After 10 Minutes, I add 2 cups of a combination of grated Carrots, Zucchini, Celery, Fennel, Parsley, (no beans or cabbage...!!) and very little garlic powder plus sometimes fruit like bananas, very little Mango, Apple or Berries, sometimes a little Peanutbutter or Parmesan. (Just to change the flavor.) You can divide the cooked mixture and add different final flavors to it. Let cool, fill in ice cube trays, (or other small containers) freeze and fill in Ziploc bags to avoid freezer burn. I take two of the cubes out every evening to let thaw in the fridge for the next day. I serve it to Filou in the shape of a little mount and put his quarter of Vitamin pill (description on bottom of page) on the very top so he gulps it down with his first eager bite. Depending on the size of your dog, this portion will last between 2 and 4 weeks. The only setback about this preparation is Filou barking during the entire 20 Minute cooking time! Plus I add a Super VitaChew from PetMeds to his food each day...and cut it up with a pill cutter and mix it with his food. Taylor gobbles this! Also I ordered the book "The Whole Pet Diet" from www.amazon.com and it has a lot of good recipes and information. |

| Just started reading this thread and found it very interesting. In light of what has been happening in the dog food industry, we are all becoming more aware of what we feed our beloved pets. It made me pull out a book that was given to me a couple of years back "Bone Appetit!" Gourmet Cooking For Your Dog by Suzan Anson, and began to read it. It is very detailed on required nutrition charts, feeding practices contains a multitude of recipes from making your own kibble, main courses, soups, vegetables, sauces, decadent doggie desserts and food for special needs. That said I guess I'm going to begin cooking. Mary

| I am certainly no nutritionist but I hope that before you give any homecooked food you make sure it is somewhat balanced and you are fulfilling the dogs calcium needs as well. Some of these recipes are not really suitable to feed every day. I think someone suggested Dr Pitcairns book in this thread, it is a good book a good starting place and well worth the money. |

| Anne's BowWow Peanut Butter Cookies With electric mixer, beat together 1 cup milk, and 1 cup natural peanut butter. Add 2 cups whole wheat flour mixed with 1 T. baking powder, blend together with spoon or: this dough isn't like other rolling dough , it works if you squish it with your hands and then roll out! Roll out (about 1/4 in. thick) and cut with dogbone cookie cutter. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 20 min. at 375. Makes about 2 doz. biscuits. Watch them carefully so that they don't burn! DON'T KEEP IN CLOSED CONTAINERS RIGHT AWAY - NEED TO GET HARDENED! I'm pretty sure that those of you who bake alot, could experiment with other flours.

| Raw or Cooked??? Ok, Mia is a very picky eater. We have tried all kinds of things with her. After reading these recipes I noticed that most say "cooked"... problem is Mia is not a big fan of mushy food Can I cook the meat & rice/oats and bag it for the freezer adding the vegatables later?

| Ellie had a vet appt. last night and they gave us a paper with some recipes. They are mainly for special diets and I really don't like the looks of most of them but maybe they will help someone on here. I will post one or two of them but please research it out because this paper says Hill's Pet Nutrition on the bottom (makers of Science Diet). I wouldn't trust them too much. CANINE REDUCING DIET 1/4 pound ground round or other lean beef 1/2 cup cottage cheese (uncreamed) 2 cups drained canned carrots 2 cups drained canned green beans 1 1/2 teaspoons dicalcium phosphate2 Cook beef in skillet, stirring until lightly browned; pour off fat and cool. Add remaining ingredients and balanced vitamin-mineral supplement and mix well. Keep covered in refrigerator. Yields 1 3/4 pounds. Analysis Protein.....5.5% Fat.....1.7% Carbohydrate.....4.5% Moisture.....86.0% Metabolizable Energy.....250 kcal/pound Feeding Guide 5 pounds.....1/3 pound 10 pounds.....2/3 pound 20 pounds.....1 pound No snacking except for occasional raw veggies.
