Homemade pet food recipes

I notice a lot of pet owners on this forum and with the concerns over the contaminated pet foods some owners are making their own pet foods so heres a couple of recipes -one for your cat and one for your dog.


for cats
2 cups of cooked chicken
quarter cup of carrot ,grated
1 cup cooked brown rice
chop or grind chicken into small pieces.Mix chicken and carrots with rice.If there is any fat from chicken,pour about 2 teaspoons over the mix.Serve at room temperature.

For dogs

3 cups cooked oatmeal or cream of wheat
2 cups cooked ground beef
2 tbsp plain yogurt
1 apple(small)cut into small pieces
Mix together and serve at room temprature.

Doggy Hamburger Helper

1 cup hamburger meat, stir-fried in 1 tbsp canola oil

2 boiled eggs, chopped

1/2 cup cooked plain oatmeal

1 jar baby food green beans

1 jar baby food carrots

2 Tbsp cottage cheese

1/2 cup boiled mixed vegetables, I use veg-all

PUPPY MEATLOAF

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 (24-ounce) container cottage cheese
* 4 eggs
* 1/2 cup dry milk powder
* 1/4 cup wheat germ
* 8 slices oatmeal bread, crumbled
* 8 cups cooked oatmeal
* 4 cups cooked brown rice

PREPARATION:
In very large mixing bowl, combine ground beef and cottage cheese; blend well. Add eggs, milk powder, and wheat germ and mix. Then add the crumbled bread, oatmeal, and brown rice and mix well.

Divide among ten small (5-1/2" x 3-1/2") aluminum loaf pans.

Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then promptly refrigerate. This food is perishable, so don't store it in the fridge longer than three days.

We always froze all but one of the loaves. To defrost, let them stand in the refrigerator overnight. Crumble the meatloaf into a bowl, drizzle with some water, and microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm. Make sure the food doesn't have hot spots after microwaving, as your pet will gobble this up!

Make sure to discard any food that has been sitting out for 30 minutes or longer.


CHICKEN & RICE DELIGHT

1 whole chicken (okay, this one is cooked)

1/2 bag wild brown rice (cooked in with the chicken)

1 C Quick Oats

small can of sweet peas or cooked fresh peas. *optional


Puppy Porridge

one healthy homemade meal!!!!

1 cup of oatmeal(cooked)
mashed carrots(cooked)
veggie babyfood
1 teaspoon of sugar

First, mix the oatmeal, carrots,and baby food together and then add the sugar.Next,tell your dog he is the sweetest dog in the world and then serve.


Doggie Ice-Cream


2 cups vanilla yogurt
Mashed bananas
2 tablespoons honey

Mix ingredients and freeze in ice cube tray. Voila.. sweet, cool bitesize treats for your pooch!

thank you very much for the recipes, I do not have a dog myself, but my son and his fiancee have a darling little shitz zu. I passed the recipes off to them and they asked me to thank you very much for them. Their pup has a very sensitive stomach as most of that breed do ~ besides she thinks she is human... lol !

I know they like human food the best. Good idea.

I'm willing to try all of these recipes... right now it costs close to $100 a month to feed our pug... as he is allergic to corn and its many products (gluten, meal, flour, syrup, etc...) But, is anyone aware if these recipes can be used as a daily menu and not just a treat once in awhile?!? I worry that some nutrients would be lacking.

Sierrawind26 heres some sites that may help give you the information.
