Spud and Homemade dog food...

One of the loves of my life is my Lhasa Apso, Spud.



Spud is 12 inches tall and spends his day trying to protect me from the Fed Ex driver, the waterman, wild Turkey's, our cat, a whistle pig (one of the various names given to groundhogs, woodchucks, it's a large rodent) and follows me around all day. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it! 

When the first information about tainted dog food from China surfaced I determined it was time to become proactive and make dog food. Here is the recipe I use 2 Cups raw Carrot, 1 cup cooked rice (I make brown), 3/4 cup chicken breast, 1/4 cup cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons oil (I use Olive). The carrots and chicken go into the food processor and after chopping it into a wonderful meal, add the rest, stir well and form it with an ice cream scoop into 1/3 cup mounds and freeze them. After they are frozen, I place them into storage bags and feed as needed. The only downside is the dog now has an orange poo. He loves his new food and now takes it from the freezer to his bowl all by himself!

  1. I failed to mention you cook the rice and chicken breast and when they are cooked and cooled I chop the chicken breast and carrots up...
