I'm making my own dog food!

So, many of you know that I make and bake my own dog treats. I love doing this and being

able to share it with all of you. It's great to know that those little treats are home made, natural and super healthy for my pups. So, I have been researching and talking with my vet because I want to start making all of my dog's meals. I wish I could make and share with all of you but they have to be refridgerated. So, instead I am going to share my recipes. I'll be putting them up as I make them and my dog's approve.

It is super simple to make your own food for your dogs. They need protein, veggies, grains, fruit and calcium. Check with your vet before switching your dog especially if they have allergies or any other health problem. Also be sure to slowly wean them off of whatever they are currently eating or you will really upset their digestive system. You also need to switch up the meals so they get a little of everything in their diet. I have six meals and I run through all of them in order throughout the week.

You'll also need to speak to your vet about the amount of food to feed your dog. Every dog is different and you will need to figure out what is best for your dog.

So, here is recipe number one. My dogs gobbled this one up and were in the kitchen for about 5 minutes afterwards, licking their bowls free of any tiny morsel that may have been left behind. I made a huge portion of this and have it stored in the fridge and freezer in meal sized portions for my two.

Meal #1:

*box of whole grain rice

*bag of frozen corn, peas, carrots (important... do NOT feed your dog corn on the cob. They can easily choke on the cob pieces)

*diced, cooked chicken pieces

*1/2 can sodium free chicken or beef broth

*1/2 package of blueberries

*6 tbs cottage cheese

1. Cook rice a little longer than the directions call for (extra couple of minutes)

2. Add vegetables and cook an additional minute

3. Mix in all other ingredients and serve at room temperature

4. Refridgerate or freeze leftovers and nuke meals just long enough to bring to room temperature.
