Homemade Doggie Treats

Milita and SnowPea are so amazing with their food intake - they adapt to every brand of dog food we ever bought. Well our male Master got to thinking. The rig is so small and storage is a huge issus and well there is something personal and special about making our items including homemade dog food and dog treats. And so this week we will do all sorts of research because lets face it, a chihuahua is so different from a border collie and we want to make sure we are each getting each the best. We are going to have our first homemade cooked meal this Thusday after our Masters do their food shopping for the week and here is what's on our first nights menu.

6 cups water
1 pound ground turkey
2 cups brown rice
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli, carrots and cauliflower combination

Directions

  1. Place the water, ground turkey, rice, and rosemary into a large Dutch oven. Stir until the ground turkey is broken up and evenly distributed throughout the mixture; bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the frozen vegetables, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate until using.    

Now yummy. We can both handle that. Our Masters have been working with Milita because she is so tuned in on the hard dog food because it's what she is use to. But now I eat carrots, peas, and here is the big one strawberries (the trick is to give it to SnowPea first and then Milita becomes Monkey See Monkey Do). 
We need a working oven to make homemade dog treats and so when we head back to Rufus we'll get to making those. So come back often for new doggie food/treats ideas and pictures.


NOW PLEASE READ THIS - DO YOU RESEARCH BEFORE FEEDING YOUR PETS - BECAUSE NOT ALL HUMAN FOOD IS GOOD FOR YOUR PETS AND DEPENDING ON THE BREED TOO (CHIHUAHUA OFTEN HAVE ALLERGIES TO CERTAIN FOODS) CAN HAVE BAD REACTION TO CERTAIN FOOD. GARLIC AND ONION AND CHOCOLATE SHOULD NEVER BE FED TO YOUR DOGS.            


QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Do you make your dog food and
if not what do you feed your pet/pets?
