After a few days of unspeakable peristaltic (and excretory) events
among our dogs last month, D and I have begun making dog food for the
little SOBs. The canine shits and the heaves have calmed down so far
(knock wood).

Do any others out there make dog food?

After checking with the vet, what we make basically is a spiceless
doggy jambalaya of rice and boiled cheap chicken chunks with peas and
carrots. Any other recipes for cheap dog nutrition?

I feed my girl frozen chicken carcasses during summer, and defrosted ones
during winter :-)

She also gets raw chicken pieces (wings/thighs, drumsticks etc) with the
bones in, roo tails, and dry dog biscuits now and then.

Any lamb chops (blech!!) that I *have* to cook, or T-bones etc, I cut the
raw bones out and give them to her.

I also have a friend nearby that makes doggy treats/biscuits to sell (looks
to be for *bloody* small dogs though) so I'll grab her next time I see her
and ask if she'll part with the recipe.

I thought dogs had problems with choking on splintering chicken bones.

Only *COOKED* bones......... chicken, beef or whatever.

Dogs/cats die from eating cooked bones.




*Only* feed you dog/cat raw bones.

Cooking/applying heat to raw bones changes the structure of the bone. It
goes from being pliable (in the dogs gut) to being like shards of glass.

But, having said that, you can feed your dog cooked bones and 99 times
out of 100 it won't kill the animal........ but there will always be
that *one* time.

Dog Bones 2

Recipe By (Tom R. Rice)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound beef liver
2 large eggs -- shells washed
1 cup cottage cheese, lowfat
1 1/2 cups wheat germ
3 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour

Rinse liver and cut into 1-inch chunks. Put in a 2-quart pan with 1 cup
water, and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer
gently until liver is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Put liver in a
blender, saving the liquid from previous step. Break in eggs, including
shells. Whirl to puree, adding reserved liquid as needed. Scrape mixture
into bowl, adding remaining cooking liquid, cottage cheese, wheat germ
and 3 cups flour. Stir until evenly moistened. Knead until dough no
longer feels sticky, adding more flour as required. Roll out dough onto a
floured board until 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with floured bone-shaped
cookie cutter. Bake in 300 degree oven until bones are tinged darker
brown and feel firm to touch, about 1 hour. Cool on racks. Once cool,
bones should be hard when pressed; if not, bake 10 minutes more at 300
degrees and cool.

(Makes about 4 1/2 dozen 3 1/2 inch long bones.)

Michael, when my dog Sampson was needing special food to make him eat (and
this was 1999) the vet told me lightly cooked ground beef (drained of most
but not all fat) combined with a rice and a soft vegetable mix would entice
him to eat. No added spices; definitely not onion or garlic!! She
suggested vegetables like canned no salt Veg-All. And he had very brittle
teeth at age 17 so the food was soft. Google apparently doesn't retain
posts from that far back. I got some good suggestions back then.

Yep. Hamburger meat and rice, boiled to submission.

Google indeed does retain posts from that far back.

And your point would be? I made him ground beef with rice, vegetables and a
little fatty broth. Would you like to resurrect the post about the final
solution?

When my dogs ( eat God knows what when out running around the woods)
get upset tummy and pukes or acts ill I make kettles of oatmeal or
rice and they recover quickly. When they get "backed up" I drizzle
olive oil over some dry kibble for them and if that does that help
them out I mix a can of pumplin in and that always works.

During the winter the outside deck cat gets warm broth every evening
with her dinner.

I'm not interested in reading about the Holocaust tonight.

I am used to make that as a food for my kittens and puppies, but some holistic pet food reviews says that some nutrient that our pets needed cannot only found on foods like that,

Looks good. I consulted a veterinary nutritionist at UC Davis where I
work and was told to also add calcium to their diet. Also sunflower
oil and a smidge of salt (dogs need sodium too). She also said that a
canine multi-vitamin was good insurance - I take my multi-vitamin for
the same reason even though my diet tends to be pretty well-balanced.

We make our own dog food. Lean ground beef, rice and heart, ground up.
