Dog Food Recipe

Ingredients:
1lb ground chicken (or lamb, beef, liver or tuna)
2 cups brown rice
fresh spinach
fresh carrots

Method:
Brown and cook the meat.
Boil the rice
Finely chop the vegetables in a food processor and combine.

*Editor's Note: Always check with your veterinarian to ensure your pet's diet is healthy and nutritionally complete.

Tips/Additions:

Most Important: Always consult your veterinarian when you are changing your pet's diet to make sure you pet gets proper nutrition.

Dogs don't chew like humans, so vegetables must be finely chopped for them to get valuable nutrients.

You could add bone meal or powdered milk to ensure your pet gets calcium.

Small amounts of garlic can help prevent tape worms.

Add cod liver oil in small amounts for Omega 3's and a shiny coat.
