Okay, I am tired of feeding the furkids food that I don't know what is in. I need a recipe that I can fix up in 1 week batches for my dogs and a recipe for my cats.

Thanks Teresa. I worry about the vitamin/mineral thing with homemade food, especially the calcium.

Its called Vitadog , and I get it thru my daughter, who gets it from a friend of hers who works at UC DAVIS Vet College. But with my years working for Vet's, just know that a "complete", vitamin/mineral supplement is all you need.

Thanks, sounds easy enough. What vitamin do you use for your dogs, I looked at so many at vitacost, overwhelmed and just picked one. I also give my dog udo's pet essentials for dogs. She would not eat it at first, but seems to like it now.

organ meat(beef, chicken & lamb or any mix or single)grind to hamburger consistency,
cheap cuts of beef, chicken and/or lamb, also grind and mix with organ meat
brown rice cooked
cooked and mashed sweet potaoes,
gr beans,cooked squash,cooked carrots,peas,
peaches, apples purreed
mix meat mixture with rice, veggys and fruit,
form into a loaf, cook at 325 til it holds loaf shape and is medium pink in center, let cool and slice into portions that are right for the size of your pet. Freeze all that is not used in 2-3 days.
Get a good all purpose liquid dog/cat vitamins/mineral combo and add to food just before serving (remember cats and dogs have differant vitamin/mineral requirments, so each species gets their own), do not heat vitamin/minerals.
It will be trial and error to come up with amounts of the ingrediants to make your loafs, I make it in HUGE amounts once a month, as I have 5 dogs and 3 house cats.
Any questions just ask...

If you want I will post easy recipes for both dogs and cats here, they are Vet approved and my dogs and cats have been eating them for years, nothing artificial, and no perservatives.
