for making my own dog food i went to the $1 store and bought cheap tupperware.

then i go to the store and buy whole chickens by whatevers cheapest per pound

usually i get 2.

then i get one container of chicken livers and one container of hearts. (nasty looking shit)

depending on fresh vs frozen i then buy things like broccoli, carrots.

i put both chickens into the pot and boil them eventually adding the veggies and gizzards towards the end.

kelp

i also add dried seaweed/kelp and seaweed powder that i buy from asian stores it comes in a large chunk. good for the coat

put an even amount in each container. give each a shot of karo syrup along with some broth.

prevents the occasional convulsion/low sugar diabetes attack

then i freeze them and thaw them as needed.

nice work serum!

 

i used to make my dog's food in a crock pot, almost the same recipe except molasses instead of corn syrup, and no seaweed.

however, she's got an anal gland issue and does better with the extras they put in the dry stuff.

 

we use pretty expensive stuff. they deserve it.

 

.....

 

awesome pugs.

i took the pics a year ago and have since changed from karo syrup to molasses/agave

i would like to stop cooking the food and change to raw diet but to be honest

i cant afford organic only meat and still worry about ecoli irregardless of the source of meat.

he still gets regular dog food which i mix nutro and wolf king.

i mostly pay attention to the level of protein because akitas are susceptible to

hip displasia so i make sure the protein level isn't too high and he doesnt get too fat.

i believe he is about 85-90pounds

 

now in terms of supplements i havent gotten that far truthfully

i have a book that focuses on akita diet (akita treasure of japan volume II)

and it has over 500 pages with a very detailed list of herbs from hops to ginkgo biloba

i havent tried any of them except pumpkin which i use if he gets the shits.

 

but the thing that i would stress is that making this food for him is cheaper than regular dog food

can be created in an hour of boiling and separating and you are done for the month.

$50 for (30lbs) dry food

 

I spend around $40 and he likes it a lot more than the dry though his stomach can get out of wack from going from dry to meat dry to meat.

but i can imagine it would be much less $ for pugs

 

scrambled eggs is good but be careful of the high protein count

 

i read up on dog food but only breed specific material so i suggest you do the same

 

basic formula

meat+veggies/fruit+cooked grain+supplements

 

Meat: the best seem to be chicken and fish

Veggies: anything accept onions garlic and grapes

cooked grain: pasta, oatmeal, brown rice, etc

supplements: theres a bunch but have little experience

 

 

 

 

it looks like the rabbit is shooting a laser out of its mouth due to the wizard hat

buy whole chicken, paying attention to price per pound rather than the total price

i usually buy around 4 chickens (approx 3 pounds per chicken)

plus 2 packages of hearts (2 pounds per )

and 2 packages of liver (2 pounds per )

 

thats around 20 pounds which fills about 20 containers which can feed him for about 30-40 days

i feed half a container a day plus the vegetables and grain which i vary according to what im making that night.

it helps to have a rice cooker

 

that comes out to $30 not counting vegetables and grain or anything you supplement

you are welcome to give your dog more if hes a big eater but my dog sleeps 21-22 hours a day

 

i give him dry food but to be honest he eats 1/2 cup if that and i still use it because im not that confident

in my vitamins/supplements

 

so you are looking at around $1.50-$2.00/day vs dry plus canned food which used to cost me $3.00/day

word, i should check the breed stuff.

i've got a chihuahua/jack russel mix but we live with a pit bull so i'm sure their needs are very different. just makes it a pain in the arse.
