Doggie Stew

3 lb. meat (chicken or turkey, cooked)
1 lb. raw organ meats (livers, kidneys, hearts)
2 c. peas
2 c. brown rice
1 c. lentils
4 garlic cloves
3 c. raw veggies (kale, carrots, parsley, tomatoes, sweet potatoes)

Bake the non-raw meats along with any dry vegetables such as split peas. Debone the meat and shred pieces by hand. In a food processor, mulch up raw meats. Cook the brown rice and lentils together. In a food processor, mulch up vegetables and garlic. Mix all together and spoon into containers for freezing. Take concentrated stew, add some water and heat in microwave until warm. Mix in with dry dog food and serve.

Lamb & Rice

1 lb ground lamb (beef if you wish)
1 1/2 cups brown rice
2 stalks Broccoli
2 medium potatoes — (2 to 3)
3 medium carrots
4 cloves garlic
1 sheet kombu — Sea Kelp (optional)

Brown lamb in a fry pan. After it gets going, put on the chopped garlic to
brown. Boil water, put about 4-5 cups into a crock-pot, so it is already hot
while you are fixing the rest of the ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the
fry pan. Cut broccoli and add this to the crock. Put the rest of the works in
the pot, add enough hot water to cover. Add pepper to taste. Throw in 1/2
cup brown rice and mix.

Woody’s Wolf – down

16 qt stew pot with cover
enough olive oil to coat bottom of pot
5 lbs. ground beef — (5 to 6)
2 cans chicken broth — (50 oz)
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.

The Basics

4 c. rice
9 c. water
1/4 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 T. eggshell, ground fine (about 2 eggshells)

Put all the above in a large cooker and bring to a boil, then add, while stirring:

8 oz. ground beef (or chicken or lamb)
3 T. corn oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 clove garlic, chopped fine
2 c. vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.), chopped fine

Stir, turn heat to low, and cook for about 20 minutes until all water is absorbed. Then spread out in flat Tupperware containers cool and cut into half cup squares. When feeding, add cottage cheese or yoghurt, and 1 tsp. supplement mix per 30 lbs of dog weight:

Supplement Mix:

Place all ingredients into a large casserole dish. Cover with water and mix. Place lid on casserole. Microwave on High for 10 minutes and then Medium for 10 minutes. This should be cooked at least an hour before feeding so that it is well cooled.

Warm Tum

1/2 Tin pedigree chum
3 small potatoes
few chopped carrots
plenty of gravy so that the food is very
moist.

Put your chum in then add the potatoes and carrots and mash them all
together then add the gravy stirring it in as you pour.

Gratissimo

olive oil
sesame oil
1 potato — peeled and finely
chopped
3 button mushrooms — cut into quarters
or sliced (3 to 4)
50 g/2 oz cooked whole grain rice
50 g/2 oz canned sweet corn
75 g/3 oz cooked chicken — in strips or chunks
39 g/2 tbsp plain yogurt

Heat the oil, throw in the potato pieces, and saute until translucent. 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).

Hold the Onions Please

5 lb ground beef or chicken
3/4 cup canola oil
4 cloves garlic — (4 to 5)
32 cups water
8 cups processed veggies (various) — (8 to 10)
(carrots, cauliflower, bean sprouts, celery, broccoli,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers,
spinach, beets, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.)
NO ONIONS (not good for dogs)
2 cans kidney beans — (2 to 3)
1/2 cup molasses (optional)
42 oz oatmeal (quick cooking oats) — (42 to 45)
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 pumpernickel 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.

This is a bulk recipe for those with more than one dog who want to feed well balanced home cooked food.

Finely puree in a food processor. This mixture keeps well up to 2 weeks.

Soak oats approximately 2 hours with enough water to cover; the amount
of oats depends on the size and activity level of the dog. Add raw meat;
again the amount of meat will depend on the dog. Add all ingredients; mix
well.

This recipe is to be daily 2x. It seems like a lot of work but I prepare the
food 2 weeks in advance using Ziploc bags. I used to be an avid
commercial food user but I’ve been cured!! The dogs’ all Rotties have
nicer coats, smell better, no fleas, love their food and are not finicky eaters
as before. It takes a little longer daily but well worth it!

Next Day Dog Food

8 cups oats
2 cups brown rice
6 Cups barley
2 lbs. carrots finely grated
3 bunches broccoli – grate stems — chop flowerets (3
to 4)
6 zucchini grated or 1 lb. green beans
chopped
1/2 bunch parsley — chopped
4 cloves garlic — minced (4 to 5)

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.

More Lamb & Rice

1 lb. ground lamb (or beef)
1-1/2 c. brown rice
2 stalks broccoli
2 or 3 medium potatoes
3 medium carrots
4 cloves garlic
1 sheet kombu (sea kelp, optional)
Salt, pepper, water

Brown lamb in a fry pan. After it gets going, put on the chopped garlic to brown. Boil water, put about 4-5 c. into a crock pot, so it is already hot while you are fixing the rest of the ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the fry pan. Cut broccoli and add this to the crock. Put the rest of the works in the pot, add enough hot water to cover. Add salt and pepper to taste. Throw in 1/2 c. [?] brown rice and mix. (Also from Canine Connections, posted by Lee Love, with 1/2 onion [NOT RECOMMENDED: ONIONS CAN BE POISONOUS FOR DOGS!], browned with garlic, makes about a dozen 8 oz. baggies of stew; add 1/2 bag to kibble morning and night.)

Lamb & Pasta

1 kg lean lamb mince (can use veal — chicken, beef or
hamburger (lean) or combination) (1 to 1/2)
1 bag vermicelli egg noodles (Nanda/Maggi is
better than Vetta)
1 bag grated carrot (250 g)
Fresh)or do your own
Half a bunch of parsley
1 clove 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).

1. 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.

2. Boil some water to cook the egg noodles in.

3. Put the mince into a pot large enough to hold all these ingredients and mix in the garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat is thoroughly cooked.
4. Break up egg noodles (it is easier to do this now than after they are
cooked!) and cook for 3 minutes, then drain.
5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Mix in the pureed vegetables. Divide into portions and freeze until
needed.

COMMENTS
These quantities, if mixed half and half with dry kibble at feeding time, are
enough to feed two 5-month-old small puppies for about two weeks.

Fresh Breath Food

5 cups uncooked rice
10 cups water
2 pounds low fat hamburger
5 tbs dried mint

Bring rice to a boil. Add hamburger and mint. Bring back to boil. Mix well.
Reduce heat to low. Cook until all water is absorbed.

Mutt Mush

6 c. brown rice
12 eggs
4 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. olive oil
Three whole chickens
Large bag of carrots (=8 c. processed)
Large bag of spinach
20 whole black peppercorns
Large bag of broccoli
6 whole bay leaves
2 c. peeled garlic cloves
3 T. sea salt

You will need a 24 quart or larger kettle with lid, a 24″ (twenty-four inch) wooden ladle, a food processor, and a two-cup measuring cup.

How to Cook:

Clean three chickens: remove necks, gizzards, heart, & liver, and trim wing ends. Place chickens in the pot and fill 3/4 full with cold water. Add cleaned garlic cloves, sea salt, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer for 2 hours, or until chicken falls from the bone. Strain the stock and remove bones, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Return chicken meat, stock, and garlic to pot. On medium heat, add brown rice, rolled oats, olive oil, carrots (grated or run through a food processor), and eggs. Stir all ingredients, breaking up egg yolks. Bring to a light boil stirring occasionally. Cook for about 2 hours or until rice is soft and mushy. Add entire bags of spinach and broccoli and continue cooking 1/2 hour more. Put a week’s worth of food in a container and refrigerate. Bag the rest in one-gallon freezer bags and freeze.

To Serve:

“I feed 1 c. of kibble (I use three-dog-bakery all natural chicken kibble), 1/2 T. of sea meal, 1 heaping T. of cottage cheese, 2 T. of Vita Shine fish oil, 1-1/2 c. of Mr. Marley’s Mush, and finally 2 chicken wing ends or turkey necks or hearts, gizzards, or livers.

Taters Au Doggie

3 c. boiled sliced potatoes
2 T. grated vegetables
1/2 c. creamed cottage cheese
1 T. nutritional yeast
2 T. grated carrots
1/4 c. whole milk
1/4 c. grated cheese

Layer in a casserole dish the first 5 ingredients (potatoes, vegetables, cottage cheese, yeast, and carrots). Then pour the milk on top of all; sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 15 minutes at 350 F. until cheese melts and slightly browns. Serve cool. As a potato substitute, you can use 3 c. of cooked oatmeal or 3 c. cooked brown rice.
