Poodle wrangler Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 No great recipes from me, but I like my son's description of the mince, rice & veg mix as "dog salad" ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez the Norfolk Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) probably a pretty obvious one, but for sick doggies, i.e. the runs, vomiting, etc... Boil some chicken parts in water - then use that water to cook some brown rice, well overcooked, add some more water or stock* if needed. Shred the chicken and mix it in to the rice. let it cool completely and "serve" it soupy... It's good as it is very bland and lets their body get on with healing and not too much digesting... *do not use stock cubes, powder or premade stuff, too much salt, preservatives, etc - just stock from boiled chicken or bones Edited April 9, 2007 by Gomez the Norfolk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllieD Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Shmoo this is one of Dr Harry's recipes...you might be interested in it, very good for doggy fresh breath! Preparation time: 20 mins Cooking time: 30 mins Makes about 36 biscuits You'll need 2-3 cups finely chopped/minced fresh parsley 1/4 cup finely chopped carrot 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese 2 tbsp vegetable oil (preferably olive) 2 3/4 cups wholemeal flour 2 tbsp unprocessed bran flakes 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 -1 cup water Here's how Step 1 Preheat the oven to 180C. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets or put baking paper on them. In a small bowl mix the parsley, carrots, cheese and oil. In another bowl, stir together the flour, bran and baking powder. Add the parsley mixture and stir well. Gradually add 1/2 cup water. Mix well, adding more water if needed to make the dough moist. Knead for 1 minute on a floured surface. Step 2 Roll the dough to 1cm thickness. Using a small dog-bone cookie cutter, or even a glass if you don't have cookie cutters, cut as many shapes as you can, re-rolling the scraps. Put them on the baking sheets. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until biscuits have browned. Cool on a rack. The biscuits will harden as they cool. Store in an airtight (and dogproof) container for up to two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny123 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Not my recipe, but a trainer at our obedience club does this for training treats completely free of preservatives etc (haven't tried it myself, yet). 1 lambs fry cut into small dice or thin strips then chopped into small pieces. Place the pieces in a single layer on a microwave plate - not plastic (she suggests using the tempered glass plate that comes with the microwave as others can't take the heat and length of cooking). Microwave on high for about 35 minutes - until completely dehydrated ** (if there is any moisture left they will spoil quickly). When completely dehydrated and cool, sore in a container - she says they will last forever. ** Time may vary with different mocrowaves. The meat must be completely dry, so suggest checking and adjustung cooking time to suit the microwave. Edited April 10, 2007 by benny123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
