ill share my recipe with you
lightly cook some minced beef, pork, or chicken, add some ';frozen veges packet';, and boil some rice, or pasta, then stick it in the blender for just a few seconds to mix it upI want to feed my dogs with home cooked recipes so looking for a book with DOg food receipes?
plenty of books but here is a site that I pulled from refdesk:http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/3鈥?/a>I want to feed my dogs with home cooked recipes so looking for a book with DOg food receipes?
If you want to do this, first research dog nutritional needs to make sure not only that you're feeding the right nutrients in the right proportions; but that you're not using anything that will cause health problems.
Also your dogs needs change as they age, plus when they're ill or have pups.
Its really not a good idea until you've done your research, and you can check your recipies with your vet. In the meantime use a good quality dog food.
Home cooked food is surely better than kibble, as long as you give the dog a good variety. However, there's really no need to cook the food. In fact, cooked bones are dangerous to dogs, while raw bones are not.
People will tell you that dogs have adapted to the way we feed them and that kibble is best (like McDonalds is best for humans ... uh huh), but dogs only vary from wolves by 0.2% of their mDNA. They are still completely capable of digesting raw food.
Also, dogs have no need for vegetables or grains. They do not need carbs like humans do. The reason you find wheat and corn in kibble is because it's cheap. That's the only reason.
You can find recipies on line but remember that it is very hard to assure your pet is getting the complete nutrition that they will need when you are cooking their food.
I used to cook for my pets until I found this great brand of food.
You should check it out it is recall safe-holistic and very healthy food that is nutrient dense and does not contain any wheat-gluten-corn-or soy- which were reasons for the recall and also common allergins for pets.
My four dogs love it and it is delivered fresh to your door.
No sitting on warehouse or pet store shelves.

It never hurts to look for the best option for your pets health and well being.
If you are still insistant on cooking then at least add the daily suppliment also available on this site to ensure that your dog is getting all that they need.
Wishing you and your pet the best.
you clearly have a lot of time and money of your hands!!
Try putting dog food cookery in google and see what comes up
I second Melindhra, also check out www.ukrmb.co.uk %26amp; Tom Lonsdales book Work Wonders.
ask your vet about which meat and veg to use and quantities if you boil some rice aswell to go along with it but dont cook it completely if it has a bit of crunch to it ur dog will like it better and remember variety you wouldn`t eat mince and tatties every night ur dog doesn`t want to eat the same thing every day either it`ll eat it cos its hungry but it wont like it
hello i feed my German Shep broccoli and chicken meat no bones ,mix together . Chicken and rice no salt oil added cook all in water great healthy food goes down well:)
Instead of using a book, try this:
1 can of corn
1 can of chicken
1 bag of rice (only a 2lbs. bag)
I learned this from my mom and my dogs LOVE it. Just make sure that the chicken has no bones.
HiThere,
There are many dog food recipes on line that you may find suitable. Also for cookies and treats. Also some vets will give you ';diets'; for your dog and supplements (I always got mine free, because I said I used a raw diet???)
Anyway I will give you an idea of what I have experienced and tried in the past and now. VERY nutritious and obviously delicious ALL my dogs flourished on this, not to mention weight control and allergies control (oh and no need to worry about Recalled foods!)
Anyway here goes:
Liver Treats: a good size piece of liver (kidney, heart works too) boil gently with a couple cloves of garlic for 30 mins then on very low heat in the oven ';bake'; for 2-4 hours until very dry, slice and cut into little pieces and use as treats!
Dinner: in a strong blender Add any or all of the following
a couple cloves of garlic, a slice of ginger, flax seed, brewers yeast, vitamins/minerals, a couple eggs, (I always use these)
then any combo of below **just No onion or grapes or corn
apples (to fill blender)
banana
blueberries
blackberries
spinach
kale
chard
broccoli
cauliflower
cucumber
zucchini
bok choy
turnips/rutabaga
alfalfa sprouts
carrots
sweet potato or yam (precooked works best)
mango
avocado
tomato (no more dead grass spots on the lawn)
green beans/yellow beans
pumpkin (precooked best)
beets
parsnips
peas
Anyway I'm sure you get the idea, carrots, sweet potato, broccoli and spinach/kale are faves. Anyway blend this all
up (you may need a little water or milk) until smooth and then I
would pour it in with either 1-3 lbs of hamburger, chicken cut up, lamb (we have sheep so cheap) or minced pork or salmon filets cut up (also live near ocean so cheap) or a can or two of tuna occasionally or any other cheap white fish we can get. Mix it all up and Voila! Dinner. On occasion maybe a time or two a week I would add a couple cups of steamed brown rice, or barley to give it a little more substance. Occasionally I'd add grated cheese or cottage cheese or plain yogurt too.
The combinations are obviously endless and all VERY VERY healthy which I'm sure you can see. We actually saw huge improvement in mostly our old dogs, for arthristis I could and did add gluosamine and chronditin and Vit E oil judiciously for heart and skin health. It sounds difficult but actually I got where I was whipping it up while making people dinner and it was done in no time. And contrary to popular belief I found we saved money, I grew a large garden, asked around for freezer burnt meat from neighbour etc. and went to the dock for fish, and if anyone we knew went hunting they would save us ';the extras'; same with the local butcher/slaughterer.
And of course if you don't have 5 dogs like us at any given time then you'll probably find it reasonable.
Oh one more thing stew is BIG with our dogs too, i simply cut out the onions and some of the salt and there they go.
WOW! Long post ----I do hope I have been of assistance and I hope you do decide to feed this way for doggies benefit!
Happy Eating!
i sent u links for recipes.. i hope they help you...
