  1. Considerations

    • Before you embark on making all the dog food, remember that variety is as important for dogs as it is for humans. While individual recipes should be simple, overall natural food should vary to allow for all the vitamins and minerals necessary for your dog's health.

    Zucchini and Chicken

    • You can make a tasty meal for your dog from chicken. Put a whole cleaned chicken in a pan and cover it with three small sliced zucchini and a mashed up clove of garlic. Cook it at 350 degrees for approximately an hour and a half. When the chicken is completely cooked, take off the skin and bone it. Shred the chicken and mix with the chopped zucchini and one cup of rice. Feed the dog two to three percent of his body weight daily but divide the amount into the number of daily meals he eats.

    Liver, Rice, Vegetables and Chicken

    • Combine eight cups of uncooked rice with nine cups of water, a half cup of rolled oats and two tsp of salt in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil then add a cup of milk, a quarter cup finely chopped parsley, six ounces of chopped liver, a pound of cooked chopped chicken, a third of a cup of corn or coconut oil, and two cups of mixed carrots, broccoli and other vegetables grated. Keep on low heat as you occasionally stir. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes for the water to absorb. Remove it from the heat when that occurs, spread it out in a square pan or container, and allow it to cool. Divide it into daily portions.

    Microwave Beef and Vegetables

    • Mix a half pound of inexpensive meat chopped into small pieces, a finely chopped carrot, small potato, and stalk of celery, a tbsp of gravy mix. Put it in a casserole dish made for the microwave and cook it on high for seven minutes, then on medium for another five minutes. Check periodically to see if it's cooked. Allow it to cool for an hour before feeding.

    Egg and Carrot

    • Mush up a hard boiled egg or make a scrambled egg, mix it with one tbsp of powdered milk and a quarter clove crushed garlic. Mash a quarter cooked carrot and add. Roll a cracker until you create a powder then add it and mix in enough chicken broth and olive oil for a good consistency.
