Home made dog food

Does anyone have any good home made recipes for dog food?

If you google Dr. Richard Pitcairns

recipes for dogs, you will find a wealth of info in his books. If I was not feeding raw, I would follow his recipes closely. His book is a good one to have on hand.

I have loaned mine out, or I would give you more info.

It certainly is a wise course to follow.

homemade dog food

I have been making my own for 4 months now. My 11 year old French Bulldog was having stomach issues and chronic diarrhea and some blood in stool.

 

Recipe ( good for one week for 23 pound frenchie)

2 pounds of organic ground beef or kosher ground turkey

3 large peeled organic sweet potatoes

5 peeled organic carrots

1 bag of frozen organic broccoli

1 bag of frozen organic brown rice (from Trader Joe's)

1 bag of chopped and washed cabbage (Trader Joe's)

 

I sautee the meat in olive oil until fully cooked and drain

Boil potatoes and carrots until soft and mash

Steam broccoli,, cabbage and put thru food processor until finely blended

microwave brown rice according to instructions (3-4 minutes)

 

Mix all together and let cool. Store in fridge for the week.

I add some fido nutrients and a probiotc at each meal

Home cooking

I have 3 bulldogs and 1 has allergies to food.  I have tried every food out there and always has the same affect.  Scratching,  biting and eye stains.  I started cooking her boiled chicken and brown rice and  she looks great.  None of the above.  Her eyes look wonderful.  I want to make sure she gets the nutrients she needs so need advice on how to figure that out.  I also need the amount to feed daily.  Thanks for any help.
