Dog Food - Chicken Feast

"Since the loss of a furry companion in 2010, I have started to make my own pet food and am posting the recipes I found to be successful with my two 'hard to please' little mutts. I use free-range, antibiotic-free protein, organic vegetables and organic grains where I can and if the budget does not permit this, I resort to human grade food. Watching flyers helps to ensure economic options to feed your dog healthy choices. If you are concerned about reaching dietary demands, a multi-vitamin from your veterinary office can offer that extra they may need."

directions

  • Roast chicken until done (until juices run clear when chicken is cut). Let cool and then either cut or tear the meat into smaller than bite-size pieces.
  • Take bones and place them into a crockpot. Cover with boiling water and cook on low for up to 24 hours or on high for 8 hours. Let cool and crumble bones into the chicken. This is a good source of calcium!
  • Dice organ meat into 1/2 inch pieces. Gently pan fry chicken hearts (gizzards, liver, etc) just until done.
  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add quinoa. Cook for about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Peel and dice vegetables into 1/2 inch or smaller pieces. Blanch mixed diced vegetables in boiling water for about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain.
  • Mix all together. Spoon into containers (try to find containers that will hold two or three days of food), seal and freeze.
  • NOTE: Vegetables can consist of pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, peas, wax beans, zucchini, spinach, etc. PLEASE BE CAREFUL of those items toxic to dogs such as garlic and onions!
  • Feel free to substitute turkey with chicken.
