dog food

[Guest guest]

I'm so glad to see you guys are feeding good food to your dogs. I think

the majority of people don't realize that food has a large part in illness

& just general unhealthiness of dogs. I call the grocery store dog

food aisle "death row".

I have fed my dogs (3 at the moment) Nature's

Recipe Vegetarian dog food for

at least 10 years now. It does not have preservatives and

I get it off the

internet. It is also expensive $23 for a 20 lb bag and having

3 big dogs I

go through a lot of it. I feel it is worth it. One

of my dogs has had

kidney failure for the last year but is surviving - we give her

IV fluids

every other day. Just thought I would add my 2 cents.

I have been lurking for a while, gleaning recipes, but

I wanted to add to this subject. Aside of being

available on the internet, Nature's Recipe Vegetarian

dog food can also be found at your local PetsMart

store.

Good post, thanks. And to lighten it up...tell the above to my oldest

cat who races to the bags when I come home from the store and proceeds

to munch on the tops of the celery and other leafy things. Plus he is

fond of raisins.

 

Of course one of the dogs likes bananas...

 

Cheers,

Sarah

I just stepped into this conversation. I have been searching for a healthier food for my 3 dogs and haven't found anything suitable. Where can I find additional information on "Solid Gold" ... Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I belong to several different dog food lists on . They are: Dog

Nutrition, K9 Nutrition, ECF(Essex Cottage Farms) and Totally Home Cooking.

They are very informative and the people there are very nice. Hope this

helps! Janet

I have the Whole Dog Journal's, which is a highly respected natural dog

journal published by holistic vets, list of top 10 foods (which Solid Gold

is one) if anyone wants it. Personally with 3 med. to large dogs I can't

afford it so I feed them Nutros Natural. I think it's probably the best

you can get at a pet supply store. It has no artificial anything &

no by-products (which can literally be the scrapings off of a slaughter

house floor). I've researched dog food for at least 15 yrs. out of concern

for my dogs' health. They also love several fruits & veggies ( no onions

or chocolate, they can be fatal to certain dogs) . A T. of yogurt a day

will give them tons of benefits too, it's like a super food for dogs. I

have an easy recipe that I make for them. It's called Frosty Paws &

it's sold (not mine) in several grocery stores by different cos. I would

be happy to share the recipe too, either privately or here. It has yogurt

in it.

Shawna, I love sharing it. They go nuts when I ask them if they want a

Frosty Paw! IIt's super easy, good for them & they love them.

I hope noone minds but I think anyone with dogs would benefit from this

recipe. (It actually started out as a people recipe so you guys can eat

them too.) Especially people like us who are concerned not only with what

we put in our own bodies, but our furkids too. I double it because I have

3 dogs. You can make as much as you have the freezer space for. I have

to say that I was making a huge mess processing it in my food processor

so I bought an immersion blender & it's wonderful! I'm using it for

everything & it's 1 piece to clean. You can mix just about anything

in a large bowl.

Frosty Paws

1 large vanilla yogurt

1 T. honey

1 T. peanut butter

1 very ripe banana

Blend thoroughly & either put in ice trays like I do, or if you

want bigger bites put in dixie cups.

Sounds good except for the cat food. It's not good for dogs & dog food

isn't good for cats. I don't remember why but I could find it if necessary.

Here is a recipe my vet gave me for my highly allergic cat:

 

Hypo-Allergenic Cat Food

 

1 cup white rice

2 cup water

2 lb ground turkey

7 tabs calcium carbonate

1/2 tab multivitamin (I use baby vitamins)

 

Combine first 4 ingredients well in pot so no turkey lumps remain. Bring to

boil, lower heat to simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes till rice

is fluffy and turkey is cooked through. When cool, stir in multivitamin.

Pack into containers and freeze what you don't need now.

 

If turkey is tolerated, try substituting chicken or lamb, or lamb baby food.

Try adding 1/4 lb. liver.

If calcium carbonate is tolerated, try using bonemeal.

 

This is meant as a temporary measure, but we use it a lot, and the kitties

look great.

 

Average serving contains 387calories, 32.3 g. protein, 17.4 g. fat.

grapes can also be bad for dogs. I forget exactly what it is-a toxin

builds up in them and is bad for them. I have hedgehogs that LOVE

grapes but stopped feeding them to them because of this reason

I saw this in the current Bon Appetit last night, and I had just bought some

broccoli rabe (I was just going to steam it). This is wonderful!!!! The

nutrition is wrong.....the pasta and the broccoli rabe weren't in there, and

I didn't hunt them up. 8)

Hi John,

My dog's on Happidog which is vegan but I reckon a little plain so I add rice, bits of vegetable, a bit of something I'm eating etc. and he's happy with it. I order it direct although the posting charge is a little dear and avoid having to go to pet supply shops that sell meat, toys with fur, etc. I'm at an internet caf so I can't supply you with details but hopefully they have a website. If you have good balanced meals, dogs are fine with that, too, as they're omnivores.

Hi Simon,

I live with a border collie cross (whippet I think) . He's almost 3 and has been on Happidog since he was a pup at a sanctuary.

Hi,

 

Thanks for that - I'll give Happidog a try. My pair are still quite young,

so hopefully they'll make the change all right. (Mind you, a chihuahua

crapping half its bodyweight probably isn't as scary as it might be with a

larger dog!)

Hi

What do you guys feed to your dogs?

Seeing all the commotion about the dog food poisoning and that there

is nearly every commercial brand on the list. What next?

 

Need help :-)

I feed dry food only, my dog gets Avacoderm or Avacedo (I have to look), it's with Avocado and there is one vegetarian kind. The cats get Nutro Dry Food for kittens, i am not sure yet what they will get once they're all a year old. Barbara <urbanveggie wrote: HiWhat do you guys feed to your dogs?
