Posts: 1681 09/23/09 01:35 PM Owner /Administrator	Tags : None With Killian now gone the diabetic menu is not my top priority anymore... But from his diabetes I have come a long way.. I now cringe at the thought of can dog food and supermarket foods in general. Killians Diabetes has taught me so much . But one of the most important things was diet// So now with the Diabetes out of the way I can home cook with less worry.. I use ground beef and cook it up till all fat is out of it.. I drain it and mix in some steamed brown rice... I then add some dry food to it when there ready to eat... I also use fat and sodium free broth.. Beef for the ground beef.. I add that before I warm up there food and then add the dry to it while warm.. I am using Merricks dry... and Chicken soup for the dogs lovers soul. That's breakfast.... Then for the dinner meal I usually use chicken, Same procedure only with chicken broth. I also use a bit of string beans crushed in a food processes mixed in... Veggies are not on the top of desired foods. But Im hoping that in time they will adjust...

There is no guessing if they are getting the proper nutrients and essentials for their systems because it is all done for you in their formulas. You have researched on what they need if you are going to homecook for them right Jo? There are many things that you have to add to their meals to make sure they are balanced. One of the things was calcium I think - very important - and many fed raw bones or bone meal.....or something like that. Sorry - I don't exactly remember, it's been years since I was on a nutrition board. Maybe see if you can find one. Again - I'd just do dog food. Kibble and add a bit of canned, hot water, and there, a complete and well balanced meal. This could be their HOT MEAL too - again, sorry Charlie.

This is cheaper and they like it... I dont know if its balanced im counting on the Merrick dry that I add to hopefully make up that part.. The ground beef and rice are added to the Merricks... And Merricks is pretty good dry food so im sure its balanced... Also they get bones from the butcher all the time... It keeps them busy trying to get out all that marrow.. and those bones are so cheep too,

They each get their bowl of food and if they don't eat it within 5 minutes - then up it comes until the next meal time. I bet sooner or later, they will eat it. And they do not get to go into each others bowls. NO WAY Jose! Are they not supposed to be fed separetely - say in another corner of the kitchen - or in another room? Dish down and EAT! Get busy - or up it comes. They would soon get the message. Zoey could probably use a senior kibble too with less calories because of her age and inactivity. Dang - I'm probably going to have nightmares tonight thinking of Johanna's dogs coming after me - they've got it made in the shade and don't want any of us giving her ideas! I need to come and visit - a little NILIF training for them doogies! I'm sure you've heard of this Jo - if not google NILIF. Off to bed....

Honestly Jo - you don't need to jump thru hoops with their diet. You have to remember this - to get a good man, you go for your cooking skills and their stomach! To get a good dog - you throw him some kibble. They are not going to love you more, nor are they going to starve to death. (Just so you guys know - Johanna and I go wayyyyyy back - and we can pretty much say anything to each other and it will not be an issue. She gives it right back to me left and right too!)
