Katie follows the idea that your dog's diet should be composed of about 30% fresh and raw (i.e., unprocessed) foods because processed food has had the enzymes and micro-nutrients cooked out. Katie cooks this up about once a month. 8 cups oats 2 cups brown rice 6 Cups barley 2 lbs. carrots finely grated 3-4 bunches broccoli - grate stems, chop flowerets 6 zucchini grated or 1 lb. green beans chopped 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped 4-5 cloves garlic, minced Use 8 quart stock pots. Cook oats. In another pot, cook brown rice and barley. Cool (to save time, cook in evening and cool overnight). Next day: Cut vegetables - use food processor. Using rubber gloves, combine all ingredients in a 25 quart stock pot. Shape into balls about 1/4 lb. each. Wrap and freeze. This recipe can be easily scaled down for smaller batches. Back to Top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Home Cooking Submitted by Shirley Bell This is a bulk recipe for those with more than one dog who want to feed well balanced home cooked food. approx. 5 lbs of ground beef or chicken 3/4 cup canola oil 4-5 cloves garlic 32 cups water 8-10 cups processed veggies (various) (carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers, spinach, beets, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) NO ONIONS (not good for dogs) 2-3 cans kidney beans 1/2 molasses (optional) 42-45 oz oatmeal (quick cooking oats) eggs can be added to boost protein In a large 24qt pot brown ground meat, add canola oil and garlic. When well cooked, add water. Bring to boil, then add veggies that have been processed, (frozen or canned veggies will work too). I use dried kidney beans and soak them the night before preparing a batch of food. While I am cooking the meat I have the beans in another pot cooking them. Once cooked, they are added to the above mixture. Next, the oatmeal is added. Frequent stirring is necessary at this point as the mixture will stick. Remove from heat, cool and put into containers. The above mixture feeds 3 Boxers for 1 week. I occasionally add pumpernickell bread and some times substitute brown rice for some of the oatmeal. This recipe is very flexible. I also add a mixture called Healthy powder to each meal. I feed twice daily and add 1 tsp of healthy powder to each meal for each dog.

Add the mushrooms, and keep stirring while adding the rice and the sweet corn. Next add the chicken, stirring a little longer; reduce the heat to low. Keep stirring for a further 2-3 minutes. Lastly stir in the yogurt, reduce the heat to very low. Continue to stir for 1 more minute. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, lifting off the lid and stirring briefly every minute or so. Allow to cool completely. Sprinkle sesame oil on top of food (optional).

Fry the meat in oil with peppers and spices. Pour in some beer. Put in the beans and fill up with water and a can crushed tomatoes. Leave to slowly boil until meat and beans are almost dissolved.

Back to Top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Auggie's Wolfdown Submitted by Dave Ice 16-qt stew pot with cover enough olive oil to coat bottom of pot 5-6 lbs. ground beef 2 50-oz cans chicken broth 4 cups water 1 3-lb bag frozen corn 1 3-lb bag brown rice Brown ground beef in olive oil. When beef is cooked, add broth, water, and corn. (Note that broth and water amount to just over a gallon of liquid; you can also just dump in a gallon jug of water and add a bunch of bouillon cubes.) Bring to a boil. Add brown rice, stir well, cover, and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool overnight. Makes approximately 40-45 cups of food. For Auggie, my black lab, I divide the yield into generous 2-cup portions and freeze most of it (it freezes well). I always have some thawed in the fridge and microwave it for a minute or so to get it to room temperature. I then serve it as follows: Breakfast 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown 1 cup high-quality all-natural kibble Dinner 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown 1 cup fresh shredded veggies 2-3 times a week: a little nonfat plain yogurt and an egg yolk Auggie was a reluctant eater with commercial foods; now he's a tail-waggin', dish-movin', food inhalation machine. Bon appetit! Back to Top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microwave Minced Lamb with Pasta, Carrot & Parsley Submitted by Deanna and Moose & Squirrel 1-1.5 kg of lean lamb mince (can use veal, chicken, beef or hamburger (lean) or combination) 1 bag of vermicelli egg noodles (Nanda/Maggi is better than Vetta) 250 g bag of grated carrot (eg from Woollies/Big Fresh)or do your own Half a bunch of parsley 1 clove of garlic (if very small, use 2), finely chopped or crushed 250 mL lactose-free milk (e.g. Pets Own) or water to make a veggie puree Half a cup of Meat-Bix (from pet shops, they get it in bulk and sell by weight). Puree the carrot and parsley with milk or water. Use a hand held blender in a beaker or tall, narrow bowl, and use as much milk or water as you need to puree with. I usually end up with 500 mL of carrot and parsley smoothie. Boil some water to cook the egg noodles in. Put the mince into a covered microwave-safe dish large enough to hold all these ingredients and mix in the garlic. Cook on high for two minutes then remove and stir. Cook a further minute and stir - repeat this process until meat is cooked evenly (approx 8 minutes total). Break up egg noodles (it is easier to do this now than after they are cooked!) and cook for 3 minutes, then drain. If you use the Vetta noodles, you will definitely need to add oil to the water first, with the Nanda it doesn't seem to matter). While you are cooking the noodles, add the Meat-Bix to the cooked mince and mix well. It will absorb any liquid from the meat. Add the drained noodles to the meat mixture and mix well - if you think it needs more cooking do so now, before adding the pureed vegetables. Mix in the pureed vegetables. Divide into portions and freeze until needed. COMMENTS This recipe is based on one given to me by Moose & Squirrel's breeder. These quantities, if mixed half and half with dry kibble at feeding time, are enough to feed two 5-month-old maltese puppies for about two weeks.

Boil chicken breast for about 1/2 an hour, remove to cool. Add flour to chicken water. Beat out lumps. Add pre-beaten eggs. Cook on low heat until it's done thickening. Pulverise chicken in food processor. Add to flour/egg gravy. May need to add more water. Unfortunately it won't freeze. But using a few tablespoons daily, it should be used up before it sours.
