Spoiled Sheepdog Lamb Stew

Submitted by Fido

"We have new neighbours who moved in recently. Their dog is supposedly an English sheepdog - I say "supposedly" because he strikes me as a bit of a wimp and I don't think he could chase a sheep if his life depended on it! In any case, his humans apparently cook this stuff for their "precious" little doggie all the time and, though I say so myself, it's pretty darned good. The number of servings in this recipe may vary in direct proportion to your belly size."

There are garlic supplements and dog biscuits containing garlic widely available. My vet has always suggested garlic in homemade dog food to help repel fleas.

Well, I decided to actually try it (on my family, not my dog) and it was pretty good. It wasn't much like a stew though because there wasn't enough liquid for that. I made up the amount of rice it called for but only used about half because there was so much in proportion. I could definately see a dog liking this stuff too.

Onions and garlic contain thiosulfate. Usually about, 500 to 600 grams can lead to problems. It can cause anemia in cats and dogs. Onions is the worst of the two.

I also believe garlic (which is a relative of onion) isn't good for dogs either.

I'm not rating this just posting a comment. Onions can be FATAL to some dogs. I'm not saying all dogs, but you won't know unfortunately until the dog eats it. Chocolate is another No-No and I realize some dogs have eaten chocolate with no adverse effects while some have died from it. Someone mentioned avocados were not good, but I'm not sure about that. I would check into avocados before I would feed them to my dog. Better to be safe than sorry.
