its official. no more kibble for my dogs

[ruckusluvr]

i just finished my last bag of kibble.

we are feeding home cooked :)

Raw would be sooooo much easier and possibly cheaper than home cooked, but for my own reasons (ocd, raw meat= huge eww factor) i will not go raw.

I tell ya, it took me months of research to learn the *best* way to build a recipe.

and i know the prices are different everywhere, but i can feed home cooked for the same price of buying kibble (chicken soup for the dog lovers soul)

What supplements are you using for your home cooked recipe?

Well, congratulations on your new feeding route! I'm a firm believer that a home prepared diet is better than a commercial one.
What kind of recipies will you be doing, out of curiosity. I considered doing homecooked once, I get bored with raw, and enjoy cooking, but obviously went with raw in the end.

Wouldn't the "ick" factor come into play just as much, if no more doing homecooked? I don't have to handle my dog's raw meat much at all, no more than one would cutting it and putting it in a pot, pan, etc.

Congrats! You have to do what you're comfortable doing! Let us know how it goes!

[SaltyDog]

I'm very interested in learning more about your recipes please

Congrats on going homecooked but as CP pointed out, don't you have to handle the raw meat to cook it anyway?

i'd be interested in learning what your recipe is...i cook for my 13 1/2 year old shih tzu who doesn't have teeth....

sure. if you want a basic recipe please send me a PM
:)
it does contain fruits, veggies, and some grains, so its not something i feel like a lot of people here would feed. it IS mostly meat though, and since its cook at home you know what is in it. so i feel its safer than kibble.

guys, i cant handle raw meat. i just cant. person issues. i dont handle raw meat when i am cooking for my dogs even. i have it set up so i dont even have to LOOK at raw meat.

well, they might not on raw LOL, but here?

nichi gets veggies.....and brown rice and quinoa......i've never figured out why fruit is included..that's why i wanted to know....

ya know...if you post it here, others who home cook would benefit...i'll show you mine if you show me yours LOL

the different veggies and fruits have different nutrients. feeding a good variety eliminates the need for supplements.

*waits for raw feeders to comment on how they are unnecessary junk food and dogs dont even get nutrients from it* have mercy on me.
