home cook How many home cook for their yorkie? I've decided to home cook instead and I have noticed good weight gain because she was very small for a 7-8 month old. Also, all these recalls are getting out of hand and ridiculous so i've decided to cook for her instead :) |
i would like to home cook. the recalls scare me. anyone have any good recipes? |
check the sticky at the top of this forum:D |
I plan to start home cooking for Gordon within the next food months. Right now I have him on Honest Kitchen. |

awesome You guys are awesome to home cook for your little ones! I'm thinking of doing the same. I read about the poor dogs who ate the contaminated food. |
I just ordered Dr. Pitcairn's book, and I'm supposed to be getting it this week. I have read that it is very helpful and contains a lot of information on dog health and has recipes. |
I cook for my crew. 50% protein, 25% veggies and 25 % carbs. along with fruit,bone meal and supplements. Veal, Turkey, Beef, Duck, Lamb and Eggs. Very little broccoli and no onions nor grapes! Liza www.bbci.org |
Another good book is: Natural Nutrition for dogs and cats by: Kymythy R. Schultze. Liza www.bbci.org |
What kind of things are you cooking for your little ones? |
I ground all the meats, whether it be veal, beef, chicken ect. I steam my veggies, zucchini, butter squash, celery, very little broccoli, basically I do a rainbow of color with the veggies and whatever is in season. Steam the brown rice then mix everything together, sometimes I use oats or pasta. once or twice a week they get omelets. I also grate a little garlic clove on the food. Liza |
90% of romeo's food is home cooked but i still give him his science diet to munch on and leave that out for him all day. his vet says he is a very healthy little boy! at his last visit - 11 weeks old - he weighed 2.65 pounds.:) he loves yogurt and green beans! (not together:p ) and he really likes brown rice in which i add either chicken or ground beef. i am going to try introducing green peas to him to see how that goes. |
My dogs get their home cooked meals in the morning and I have dry food down all the time. I alternate days giving them California Natural one day and the next Natural Balance Duck and Potato along with Solid Gold Wee Bits. Liza |
I have been cooking also. I get a little nervous about adding flavors so I haven't been, but my Holly is thankful for anything that I give her. I have made her boiled chicken with rice and peas, and also some peanut butter balls that a very nice member gave me. She LOVES peanut butter. I have also given her a little bit of mashed potatoes (no butter) and carrots. I would love some new recipes. I too am a little nervous about the recalls. |
Oh do they love peanut butter!!! That's their favorite. I'll get some recipes out to you ladies as soon as I can, OK? Liza |
i am interested in some peanut butter recipes!:thumbup: |
Peanut butter, Honey and Oat cookies. 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2 Warm peanut butter in the micro for about 1 min., until soft enough to mix the other ingredients. 3 Grind 2 cups of the quick oats in a food processor or blender until a coarse flour. 4 In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together all ingredients. 5 Drop the dough onto a breadboard sprinkled with flour. Work the dough on the board until you can make a ball. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. 6 Use a 3 inch dog bone cookie cutter to cut the dough into shapes. 7 place the cookies on greased cookie sheets. 8 Bake for about 10 min or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. 9 Remove from the oven, let cool thoroughly and store in an airtight container. Makes 50 3 inch long shaped cookies Hope they like! Mine do. Liza |
When you cook the meat how are you cooking it -- boiled???? |
I brown the meat with a bit of Olive Oil, steam the brown rice and veggies. Liza:) |
I have home cooked for my two yorkies for the past 5 years. I boil chicken breasts, with celery and carrots. Remove chicken, celery and carrots from broth. Cook rice in broth. Meanwhile, shred chicken with a sharp knife and then chop till chicken is very fine. Chop veggies and add to rice and chicken . if you have any broth left, do not throw away. Add some to mixture and stir. Save the rest**. Occasionally, I chop cooked green beans ( or canned) and add to mixture. I make a huge batch and freeze it in snack baggies. My girls have this every morning for breakfast. If they are on medication, I crush the med and add to mixture. ** If your yorkies get sick, they love the home made broth. I freeze broth in ice cube trays and use when needed. They will lick the ice cubes in a tiny dish. Love,love it. Hope this helps someone. :wavey: :wavey: |
