Asterope

Ive taken after my mother and my grandma (and probably those before them as well!) Devo gets human grade cooked food. my standard method is about 1/2 a kg of fresh human grade meat which i dice up into small peices, a little bit of mince or some fish (sardines in oil from woolies are great) along with shredded veges (beans, carrot, peas, sweet potato... whatever i have) and just enough rice or pasta to cook it into a yummy doggy risotto or tasty casserole, with lots of slurpy gravy. I keep enough for 3 dinners and freeze the rest... usually only need to cook once a fortnight, and its cheaper than buying tinned food. If friends just happen to drop by when im cooking, they ask what smells so good and then they find out its the dogs dinner I guess if you put some onion and garlic into it it would make a pretty tasty meal! We fed devo some gourmet super $$ tinned food when we first got him because we didnt have anything else, and the vomit on the floor was enough to put me off feeding him tinned food ever. Devo gets 1/2 a cup of dry food in the morning, which he grazes on through the day... sometimes doesnt eat it at all. and gets fresh raw meat every day, either a meaty bone or chicken necks/thighs/wings. If hes really lucky, he gets a tin of sardines all to himself!! My mum cooks liver and heart and kidneys into her dog food, which both Devo and Beau (our mini foxie) absolutely adore. I cant bring myself to cook that stuff even though i know dogs love it, so i wait till we go visiting and mum cooks up some extra for me to take back home. Dogs have been hunting and eating with humans for millenia... i cant see how heavily processed food could be good for them at all!!
