a lot of people feed a BARF or raw diet...as long as the ingredients are in proper balance it can be good for a dog.......more trouble than it is worth imo, but if it works for some, great..... Marsha

Mare's Dog Goulash 6-8 chicken thighs 1 Large can plain pumpkin 2 large sweet potatoes 1 cup brown rice 1 cup oatmeal 1 large can mixed vegetables without the onions Boil chicken thighs and debone saving the broth Add the rice to the broth and cook the rice Microwave the sweet potatoes 12 minutes Grind the chicken up in a food processor or a blender or chop very fine Add it to the broth/rice mixture Add the vegetables drained Add the sweet potatoes peeled and chopped fine or mashed Add the oatmeal Feed as much as they will eat . Probably a half cup per chi. You can refrigerate the rest. I do it in zip loc bags so I can just take a serving out and microwave it. I have never had a dog refuse to eat it !

I HAVE A LITTER OF CHIHUAHUAS THAT WILL BE 7 WEEKS OLD WEDNESDAY. I HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO WEAN THEM. I HAVE TRIED MOISTENED PUPPY FOOD AND ALSO SOFT PUPPY FOOD WITH GRAVY FROM A POUCH. THEY TURN THEIR NOSES UP AT IT. MY LAST TWO LITTERS DID GREAT AND I HAD NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER GETTING THEM TO EAT. BUT THESE TWO BABIES SURE ARE STUBBORN! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THESE LITTLE GUYS TO WANT TO START TO EAT? ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE NEW OWNERS UNDERSTAND AND WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM AND KNOW THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE EATING WELL ON THEIR OWN. I AM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE 8 WEEKS OLD OR OLDER BEFORE I LET THEM COME AND GET THEM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Need a vacation?
