You must read this.
I work for a vet and we DO NOT recommend making your own pet food! It's incredibly difficult to meet a dog's nutritional needs that way. chicken and rice is not a balanced diet!
Just be sensitive to your dog's health and specific needs. I feed human food to my dogs; 1 cannot have ANY grains; 1 needs lower levels of protein. Dogs, Diet and Disease by Caroline Levin provides excellent information and recipes. Good luck!
I have been feeding my dogs Dr. Harvey's canine mix and raw meat or chicken for 9 years. They are doing fantastic. It's very easy to make, just add hot water and let it steep for 10 minutes. Dogs love it. It feels so good to be giving my dogs the best food around! Go for it.
what we do for my dog is soup.
my dog loves the soup my grandma makes
we just boil some meat,vegitables and he loves it, we also put in pieces of bread so he is getting most if not all of the same nutrients from regular dry dog food.
my dog loves the stuff and usually eats it all
I'm going to star this question. None of the dry food is recalled, but I might just make some of this food for a suprise treat!
My dogs can't eat regular dog food.They get Organic chick.thighs cooked with frozen veg.kidney bean chic peas carrot broccoli with BROWN rice This is all natural and IS recommended by vets! www.nyzymes.com They love it!
There are a whole bunch..follow the link
How about if you look at the ingredients of commercial dog food and recreate it without all the artificial stuff and preservatives? I mean, see if formake dog food recipe ex. it has carrots and meat and so on.

This may sound odd, but while your in the process of looking up good recipies, feed your dogs boiled eggs. They like them, and they wont hurt them or anything.
Go to your local meat shop and see if they have any extra parts for cheep you can buy in bulk, slow cook it in a crock pot don't add any extra stuff in it. While it is hot put it in canning jars. For dogs you can add stuff like rice, peas and carrots. For cats canned tuna is fine or any of your meats are good, but cats are strictly carnivores so just feed them meat.
I dont know of any links but i make my own dogfood. I use 500gram (1pound) of minced beef, 1 sheep or ox liver, 1cup of rice, 1 cup of pasta chopped vegetable 2 to 3cups includes peas beans celery, celery leaves pumkin sweet potato and 1 large potato diced. My dog can always find the carrot unless i shred it. add 2 stock cubes cover with water bring to the boil and simmer for about 30 minutes. Dogs of all sizes find this very palatable and most vets will agree this is a suitable meal
T-bone steak...they'll love you and love it...don't your pets deserve the best?
hamburg steamed rice egg mix cook till meats brown They love it
HONESTLY I WOULD SAY TO BUY LEAN MEAT, MAKE SURE YOU COOK IT WITHOUT OILS, AND COOK IT WITHOUT SEASONINGS. BOIL THE MEAT, AND TRIM ALL FAT OFF THE MEAT. COOK POTATOES AND RICE MIX IT TOGETHER WITH VEGETABLES. KIND OF MAKE IT CHUNKY MIXED WITH RICE AND THE VEGGIES YOU THINK WOULD HELP GIVE FLAVOR WITHOU SEASONINGS, LIKE CARROTS, CELERY. BUT NO OILS IN IT. I THINK THAT WILL BE HEALTHY FOR YOUR DOG TO EAT...I KNOW DOGS ARE DYING DUE TO BAD MIXTURE OF JUNK IN THE FOOD...
I WOULD SAY MAYBE A LITTLE SALT FOR FLAVOR LIKE A PINCH.
TO KEEP ANY DOG HEALTHY, BUY THE DOG VITAMINS THEY SELL VITAMINS FOR ANIMALS TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR EATING DIET TO HELP KEEP THEM IN GREAT SHAPE...
If you can wait for a while, someone is planning to start a show to show people how to cook for their pets! The funny side though is people may not cook for themselves but may do so for their pets in the light of the recent pet food scare! Sounds interesting?
thats a great idea.. i think i will start doing that!
home cooking is easy, you just have to be sure you provide a balanced diet. Learning about dog nutrition is an interesting subject and you will find the more you learn, the more you want to know. Here are a few sites to start:
you can buy cheap pet mince from you butcher then cook it. for 1kg of mince add 1kg frozen mixed vegies 1kg rice and 2 eggs for shinemake dog food recipey coat. Its healthy doesnt cost much and you know whats in it. My dog loves it and it can be frozen
Dog food is really pretty easy to make. There are books out there and *tons* of links. One of my favorite is here:
You are smart to do this will all the food recalls lately (remember the big Diamond food recall last year?). Another to do is avoid commercial foods with corn, wheat and barley as those grains are ones most likely to have problems for pets (and that goes for parts of it like gluten).
Purina was not on the list.
The scare is over, try to relax.

People food is not good for pets.
It's got to much salt for thier kidney's.
Here's a site about how to make homemade dog food. Good Luck! Oh and here's a site about Lhasa Apso: Good luck! and it's nice that you take in strays. Poor guys. Arp! Arp!
My mother feeds her dogs a homemade concoction of white rice and boiled chicken and broth. Then she gives them dog vitamins purchased from the vet. Simple to make and not that expensive. Must work pretty good too, her dogs are 10 and 14 years old.
Make it a burger!
there is nothing wrong with good quality commercial food, especially biscuits. Most of it is nutritionally balanced.If you are still concerned, go to a veterinary. Many of them now sell pet food. Or you could talk to a few breeders and ask them what they use.
boiled chicken and rice is a complete diet for dogs.
WHY??? why feed them anything? I have 3 dogs and a cat, and I let them fend for themselves, the way nature intended.
I may throw them a few table scraps now and then, but for the most part what they catch is what they eat.
Recipes for dogs? PLEASE! Get some ground beef and brown it. Get the cheapest cuts of beef and brown it as chunks. Get boneless chicken breasts and cook those as you would for a person. Let them cool down. The dog will love you to death for it. You DON'T want to give dogs spices. A salad will make the dog sick. Just kill the normal bacteria in the meats as you would for yourself. NO SPICES. NO $5 to $10 a pound steaks! Hell, cans of SPAM will make a dog extremely happy.
For cats use normal cans of tuna. My cats also liked SPAM and of all things potato chips. I did have one cat that would not eat steak or chicken breast. But he loved potato chips.
Iams dry cat and dog food does not contain any wheat gluton and is safe to eat and is not affected by the recall.
