Make your own dog food. Please.

There are tons of recipes and online sites to offer you assistance. I was reading BARK magazine and forgot I was reading a dog magazine. I saw a great recipe for healthy cookies so I took mental notes so I could make them for ME!  All of it sounded like a great mix but I have yet to make it. Not much into cooking but I get why people are, and do cook. Those people don't have 5 dogs. And NONE of mine have yet to help me cook. Or even bring in the groceries. I do have 3 that try to run away when I open the door to carry the bags inside. Bad children. Bad!

Some common dog food ingredients that are good, healthy, and safe for your pups are cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked ground meats, peanut butter, vegetables (like carrots), rice, coconut milk, spinach, broths with no seasonings needed.  Pick organic and non-gmo products.  Send a message we all want the GOOD stuff to the growers, producers, and shopping marts. Don't give your dogs processed people food. Hell, look what it does to PEOPLE.  Check out Dog living magazine for more recipes also.  Coconutty turkey soup sounds devine. Use your leftovers.

You can make fresh dog food and seal a few servings up for the fridge.  You can bake dog treats and you can make dog pop sickles.  My favorite treat I saw in Australia- forgot what they call it- friends put a little cooked organic meet inside a smaller plastic container with water and freeze it like one big ice cube.  On hot days they bring it out and the dogs lick that ice pack for 30 minutes- 1 hour to get to the center of that frozen tootsie pop. They made it look so good on a summer day, I almost gave it a try. It keeps them occupied for a long time.

I hope you will consider making your own healthy alternative when you cook your next meal.  And just remember to eat as healthy as they do. You will poop just as often (which is a good thing) if you do!
