I make my own Dog Stew
Pick up a Rotisserie Chicken at Costco or Sam's club. Right around $5
Add 4 cups of water, and pressure cook for 30 minutes. The bones will soften, so you pet can safely eat chicken bones - they are moistened and crumble
Take lid off, take your hamburger smasher and smash up the water and chicken, to break it up
Add 3 stalks of broccoli Add 3 carrots, cut into small pieces Add 1 peeled Sweet Potato (cut into small pieces) 1/2 cup Pinto Beans 1/2 cup Brown Rice (whole grain rice) Other veggies you may want are green beans, cauliflower (I think this adds a bad odor), corn, peas
I chose to add left-over bacon, and some slices of ham to the mix. Pretty sure dog's universally love bacon.
NO ONIONS (dog's don't tolerate onions very well).
General goal is ~30% protein, ~30% Carbs and ~30% fats
DO NOT ADD SALT - dogs don't tolerate salt like we do, there is plenty of spices in that Rotissere Chicken.
This is less than $20, and should provide about 2 gallons of Dog Stew; I feed two medium dogs (~24 lbs each) and this lasts a little over 2 weeks. The only thing in it that wouldn't be in what we eat, are the WHOLE CHICKEN and bones.
If you feel the need to add multi-vitamins, figure your dose and divide by the servings and your dog's weight. Scle accordingly, but I don't believe they are necessary. It's a HELL of a lot better than what you are going to get from China.
I freeze half of it, so after one big container is gone, there is a backup that stays fresh in the freezer.
And animal organs.
Good point, I didn't think of those- primarily because I don't eat them. But that is a cheap source of protein.
Sounds good. Move over Rover.
Wow. What an amazing recipe. Thank you so very much. I feed raw. Raw ground beef or ground turkey, raw eggs, Greek yogurt, sourkraut, raw organ meat. That's breakfast.
Dinner: Meaty bones or ham neck, raw chicken drumstick. Once a while I might throw in a can of tuna.
Damn thing is 70-80 lbs (I have 2). One is 18 and still go on hikes with us. 5 miles and keep going.
Thanks. I have thought about doing this. We have two 70+ pound dogs though. And one is on prescription food…this is why I think about making what she needs instead of buying it.
Many recipes out on the internet with variations on the recipe. I have a short hair terrier that has always had dry skin, and bald patches on her back. Since starting her on this, her dry skin has remarkably cleared up, and her "bald patches" are growing hair. If nothing else, this gets them the oils that are generally cooked out of most dog food.
Thank you. I will do some looking. I’d definitely rather feed them more wholesome food. Happy New Year! Cheers!
Pfffftttttttt….riiight. Cuz the magic virus can withstand the processing and high cooking temps of commercial pet food.
Put it in during inspection.
Exactly. If it's actually in there, it was put there on purpose, after the final product was made.
Shame they didn't use the same due diligence with the evil vax.
Of course not. It's a scam.
They take a sample, squirt bird flu into it and then scream to high heavens. It's contaminated!!!!!
I'll bet you are right.
ROFL LMAO
They are too obvious now.
