This is dog food that you make fresh and it is meant to either be kept refrigerated, or frozen in individual bags. A good rule of thumb is 1/4 pint a day for dogs 25 pounds and under. Add 1/4 pint per 25 pounds, up to 100 pounds. Dogs at 100 pounds or over should get a pint a day. Do not leave this dog food unrefrigerated, it will spoil. It will stay ok to eat in a dog dish for up to a couple hours, but I have never seen it last more than 5 minutes.....dogs love it!!
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups of meat or chicken
2 cups of brown rice
1 cup of cooked carrots
1 cup of cooked green beans or English peas
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1 cup of chicken or beef broth (can use vegetable broth)
Directions:
Take all ingredients except meat and broth, and put in a food processor
Process until blended, it does not need to be smooth, just well mixed and cut up
Chop the meat or chicken to about 1/2 inch squares (it can be cooked or raw, your choice)
Pour the mixture into a bowl from the food processor (scrape well)
Dump in meat and mix with a big spoon
Add broth until it reaches the consistency that your dog prefers and stir until well mixed
Makes approximately 6 pints. Keep this in a tightly covered bowl in your refrigerator, it will last about one week, or place in Ziploc bags in individual sized meal portions and freeze. Simply take one bag out every night before bed and it will be thawed by morning

Dog Food for Upset Tummies
Dogs have a habit of eating things they shouldn't. Everything from coffee grounds, to butter, to a whole cake. If this happens to your dog and he or she gets an upset tummy, this is an easy to make dog food that will help settle grumpy stomachs and make him or her feel better. Give it to them for a couple days, until they are back to normal.
Ingredients:
4 cups salt free chicken broth
2 cups of rice
1/2 cup of chopped cooked boneless chicken
1/2 salt free green beans
4 cups salt free chicken broth

1/2 salt free green beans
Instructions:
Place the broth, chicken and green beans in a blender and blend until smooth.
Make rice in the normal manner

Serve at room temperature and refrigerate what is left.

 | I have had a lot of pet food bowls over the years, but I have found that stainless steel bowls are the best. They are much easier to keep clean and you can put them in the dishwasher. They are the only type of bowls that I buy now. Double Bowls in a Wood Frame |
It is very important that you do not leave out either of these foods. It will spoil and if your dog eats it after it has spoiled, he or she may get sick, so make sure the bowl is empty before you go to work or leave your home for more than a couple hours.
