Dog Food Recipes

dog food recipes

We all love our dogs and want the best for them. On this page you will find dog food recipes you can make for "Man's (and woman's) best friend" to show them you love them. Dogs have been eating table scraps for years. Now all of a sudden, it is bad for them? What? Homemade dog food is probably the best dog food there is. Sure, it takes a little time, but most of us cook anyway. Why not throw on a pot for the dog?

Dogs can eat people food just fine. There are a few things you want to look out for, though. It is a good idea to stay away from the following when looking for good recipes:

• Chocolate
• Avocado
• Moldy foods
• Any candy containing the sweetener Xylitol
• Grapes and raisins
• Milk
• Onions and onion powder
• Macadamia nuts and walnuts
• Mushrooms
• Mustard seeds
• Onions and onion powder
• Garlic (raw, cooked and powdered)
• Yeast dough

dog vitamins

And of course items like coffee grounds, tea, and alcohol should be kept away from your dog. Let's face it, they don't make good dog food! For more information, please see the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center website.

Akita Style Lamb & Rice

2 stalks Broccoli
2 or 3 medium potatoes
3 medium carrots
1 sheet kombi, Sea Kelp (optional)

Directions:

Brown lamb in a fry pan. Boil water, put about 4-5 cups into a crock pot, so it is already hot while you are fixing the rest of the ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the fry pan. Cut broccoli and add this to the crock. Put the rest of the works in the pot, add enough hot water to cover. Add pepper to taste. Throw in 1/2 cup brown rice and mix.

Auggie's Wolfdown

Ingredients:

16-qt stew pot with cover enough olive oil to coat bottom of pot
5-6 lbs. ground beef
2 50-oz cans chicken broth
4 cups water
1 3-lb bag frozen corn
1 3-lb bag brown rice

Directions:

Brown ground beef in olive oil. When beef is cooked, add broth, water, and corn. (Note that broth and water amount to just over a gallon of liquid; you can also just dump in a gallon jug of water and add a bunch of bouillon cubes.) Bring to a boil. Add brown rice, stir well, cover, and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool overnight. Makes approximately 40-45 cups of food. Divide the yield into generous 2-cup portions and freeze most of it (it freezes well). Always have some thawed in the fridge and microwave it for a minute or so to get it to room temperature. Suggested serving is as follows:

Breakfast

1 portion (2 cups) Auggie's Wolfdown
1 cup high-quality all-natural kibble

Dinner

1 portion (2 cups) Auggie's Wolfdown
1 cup fresh shredded veggies
2-3 times a week: a little nonfat plain yogurt and an egg yolk
