Instructions
Hungry, Hungry Puppies
Remove most of the skin from a lean boneless chicken (preferably organic). You need 1 part chicken to 3 parts rice or barley for the recipe. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. Boil the chicken until it is cooked thoroughly.
Chop a large carrot and add it to the chicken when it is about halfway through. It's OK to overcook the carrot.
Boil the rice. While it is cooking, strain the chicken and carrot. Leave them in the colander so they cool.
Place the chicken, carrot and rice in blender or food processor. Make the mixture as smooth as you can. Add milk replacer as needed, 1/4 at a time, to attain a baby-food-like consistency. (As your puppies get older, you can make this chunkier.)
Serve the food to your puppies when it is lukewarm or cool. (Expect the puppies to make a mess and step in the food.) Refrigerate the leftovers.
