Making your own dog food can be healthier, cheaper and more satisfying for your pet.
Many veterinarians recommend feeding your dog chicken and rice or hamburger and rice to help with digestive problems. Feeding your dog carrot sticks for treats is a healthy low fat way to treat your dog with something sweet. Chicken is cheaper by the pound than commercial dog food. You can easily make homemade dog food with a crock pot and blender.
Instructions
1. Place a small whole chicken in a crock pot over night until the chicken is falling off the bone. Remove the meat and discard the large leg bones as they can splinter and be dangerous for a dog to eat.
2. Place half of the meat, bones and juice into a blender or food processor. Add two cut up carrots and one cup cooked rice. Saved vegetable cuttings can also be added to the chicken and rice. Blend until bones, meat, vegetables and rice are a smooth paste.
3. Repeat the process with the other half of the chicken, carrots and rice.
4. You can serve the chicken mixture to dogs as is or mix with dog kibble.
