Organic, Gourmet and Homemade Recipes and Treats – Best Dog Food Recommendations.

• 7 cups of turkey ( or other lean protein choice )
• 5 cups brown rice ( or substitute 4 cups pasta, or try 6 cups of mashed potatoes )
• 4 cups cooked pureed veggies and fruits mixed together. ( Pureed vegetables and fruits make them easier to digest ) see below for combination ideas to try.
• 3 tbsp canola oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• daily multivitamin/mineral supplement

I also give my girls a calcium supplement every day. 

• Remove fat, skin and drippings from the pan after cooking the meat.
• Cut the meat into small cubes and mix in the veggie/fruit puree and add the rice
• Make sure the meal is not hot – I wait until it’s room temperature as Lady always gets an upset tummy if I give her food that warm.
• Cook the starch you are using a little longer than necessary to make it softer.
• When the meal is ready add the salt and drizzle with the oil. Yummy!

The veggies and fruits should be cooked and pureed.  Use any combination your dog prefers. 

He/she will let you know quickly which are the winners. 

Don’t introduce several at once. 

Start with the basic carrot and apple combo. This adds sweetness to the food that most dogs love.

I usually use approx. 3/4 to 1/4 ration of veggies to fruit. For my recipes above that is 3 cups carrots and 1 cup apples, pureed and mixed together. 

My girls like carrots, beans and peas mashed together so I use 3 cups of this and add one cup of mixed fruit consisting of apple and pears.  (I use canned pears without sugar). 

Sometimes I use blueberries in combo with the apple or pears.  I use frozen fruits and veggies a lot in the winter, and cook them till I can whiz them up in the processor.

In the summer I use loads of fresh picked from my own garden and local fruit stands.  Either way this is much healthier for your dog than the cheap commercial chemical filled dog kibble you can buy at the store. 

• 1 lb beef liver (cooked and pureed)
• 3 tbsp. peanut butter
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup cooked barley (measure after cooking)

Mix pureed liver and peanut butter together. I just put them together and whiz until combined and the consistency of toothpaste.

Mix the flour and barley together and then add this to the paste mixture and combine well.
Bake at 350 degrees in a 9 x 9 brownie pan for 20 minutes.

Cut into small bite size pieces after cooling and store in the fridge for no more than one week.
