Does anyone else cook food for their dogs?

I cook lambs hearts twice a week with garlic & carrot for my 3 they can't get enough of it, (they have a scoop of their dried dog food with it too).

I also cook mince again with garlic & carrot or chopped turky leg meat for them, or occasionally liver & kidney once a week so 3 days sometimes 4 I cook meat the other days they have tinned dog food mixed in with their dried dog food.

Often bake my own dog biscuits too, & add cheese to some as a treat which they love

Though I am careful with their weight Halle & Luna put weight on very easily so I have to watch them Diesel burns all his off so he gets more plus he's a lot bigger than they are.

They also enjoy a tin of evaporated milk watered down with warm water 3 times a week, I was told by a breeder the evaporated milk is good for their coats years ago when I had my labs, so it's always been a treat I give 3 times a week too

Should add they dont have a whole tin of evaporated milk each they have 1/2 a tin watered down each time

Im way to lazy to cook Toff's food , but I was thinking of baking him some biscuit treats , and I like the evaporated milk idea ... how much d'ya reckon I should use for one dog ?

I'd just use 1/2 large tin & add a full tin of water , so one tin would do him twice, probably 1/4 of a tin for a smaller dog

Thanks hun

What age can I start to give her hearts and stuff like that?

I will definitely home cook for her. Less additives and better quality

I think its really lovely that you do.

I have already made Liver Cake which is invaluable.

Hi nevey fed mine hearts & cooked meals ever since they were 8 weeks just liquidised it when they were really small, then chopped finely as they got older, now I just ask the butcher to chop me 2 £5 bags of hearts per week & I just stick one in the freezer all I have to do is tip them in the pan & cook them lol a £5 bag does all 3 of mine a big meal, & they love the gravy too I save some of that till the following day to mix in with their tinned food.

I add some garlic which is good for the heart & curculation Ive never had problems with worms in any of my dogs through using it either also add chopped carrot complete with the skin & they love it.

I buy dog food fresh from the butchers and yes i cook for them a couple of days a week as well ...

what do you put in your homemade dog treats - i would like to try that

I cook for my bitch - she has cooked mince, chicken, lamb which I usually do with some mixed veg (this is all only a small amount as I mix it with her Royal Canin just to make it all a bit more appetizing. She also gets tinned Sardines in sunflower oil mixed in a few times a week which she loves and the oil should keep her coat gleaming.

I do want to try making her some liver cake - anyone got a easy recipe for this??

many thanks
