Roasted Liver, Potatoes and Vegetables Soup - Homemade Dog Food Recipe

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Adults:
Nemka: 2 scoops of soup + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 1 tablespoon of Organic Kelp
Fanta: 3 scoops of soup + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 1 tablespoon of Organic Kelp
Quana: 3 scoops of soup + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 1 tablespoon of Organic Kelp
Yash: 4 scoops of soup + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 1 tablespoon of Organic Kelp

Puppies:
Morning:
Puppies did not have any breakfast today because raw liver did upset their stomach last light. They have diarrhea, which is not dangerous and will be back to normal tonight. But it’s best to skip a meal in such case.
Evening:
Each puppy had: 4 oz cottage cheese + 4 oz of plain yogurt + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 1 tablespoon of Gelatine.

Such plain and small dinner is very helpful with their stomach trouble. Everyone had normal stool tonight.

Why would my German Shepherd puppy need Gelatine? I feel that the puppies need some help with their ears, and I heard that this particular supplement is helpful, but I’ve never tried it. It is called “NutraJoint Gelatine” by Knox. I also give “NutraJoint Gelatine plus Glucosamine” one of every three times.

Roasted Liver, Potatoes and Vegetables Soup. How did I prepare it today? The following is a homemade dog food recipe:

For 4 adults and 3 puppies:
In a large pan, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2.5 lbs of chopped beef liver. Roast for 15 minutes on med/high, stirring occasionally, so it’s brown on all sides. Add 1 cup chopped onion (1/2 large onion) and roast for 5 more minutes. The result should like similar to this:

Add liver into the pot with potatoes and vegetable, add 18 cups of water, and cook on medium for 20 minutes. Then add 6 oz Organic tomato paste and 1 tablespoon of Herbs de Provence or other herbs you have handy. Cook for additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The final result should look similar to this:

Why do I like to prepare my homemade dog food with liver? Liver has irresistible smell/taste for my dogs when roasted, which allows me to mix all kinds of less popular things with it, like herbs, fruit, vegetables, supplements, etc. Ground beef, chopped beef heart, or stew beef may be used very successfully instead of liver, as a base for the “kasha”.

Dog Food Recipe: Roasted Liver and Oats Kasha

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Adults:
Nemka:1 scoop of kasha + 2 tablespoons of fresh finely chopped parsley + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 3 tablespoons of organic tomato juice. She also ate a banana today. No cod liver oil because she ate sardines yesterday.
Fanta:2 scoops of kasha + 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil + 2 tablespoons of fresh finely chopped parsley + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 3 tablespoons of organic tomato juice + 1/6 large banana.
Quana:3 scoops of kasha + 2 tablespoons of fresh finely chopped parsley + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 3 tablespoons of organic tomato juice + 1/6 large banana. No cod liver oil because she ate sardines yesterday.
Yash:4 scoops of kasha + 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil + 2 tablespoons of fresh finely chopped parsley + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 3 tablespoons of organic tomato juice + 1/6 large banana. Yash is picky, so I had to add skins from 3 chicken necks (cut into pieces and roasted on high until golden brown and crisp) with some salt, all fat included, to his kasha.

Puppies:
“G” litter puppies are 4.5 months old and eat twice a day.
Morning:
3 chicken necks per puppy. Chicken necks are fresh, raw, Bell & Evans, with skin on
Evening:
Per puppy: 1.5 scoops of kasha + 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil + 2 tablespoons of fresh finely chopped parsley + 1 tablespoon of Olewo + 3 tablespoons of tomato juice + 1/6 large banana.

Questions of the day:
Why would my German Shepherd Dog need carrots?Carrots contain a high concentration of beta-carotene (source of vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant), and are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and manganese, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, iron, potassium and copper. Feeding carrots regularly may also naturally enhance the red color in your German Shepherd’s coat. Olewo Carrots are a 100% natural product made from fresh carrots rich in carotene. 100 grams (3.5 oz.) of Olewo contain 50 mg. of carotene. One tablespoon of Olewo can be substituted for 1/2 of a cup of fresh ground carrots.

Why would my German Shepherd Dog need bananas? Bananas have lots of potassium and also magnesium. Great fruit for a human or K-9 athlete. Also a very good source of vitamin B6.

Why would my German Shepherd Dog need tomato juice? The more tomatoes dogs eat, the lower their risks of many different kinds of cancer. Eating processed (juice, puree, etc) tomatoes with small amount of fat added is the most beneficial. The tomato is also an excellent source of vitamin C, A, and potassium.

Today we have Roasted Liver and Oats Kasha. Homemade dog food recipe follows:

For 4 adults and 3 puppies:
In a large pan, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 lbs of chicken liver. Roast for 15 minutes on med/high, stirring occasionally, so it’s brown on all sides. Add 1 cup of dried chopped chives, roast for 5 more minutes. If the juice is completely evaporated, add a little bit of water to prevent burning.

In a large pot, combine 1 lb of organic rolled oats, 4 quarts of water, and roasted liver. Use some of the water to rinse the pan where the liver was, so no flavor goes to waste. Bring to boil and boil on medium for 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 2 tablespoons of dry oregano, boil for 3 more minutes. Let it cool completely.
