for those who are concerned about pet foods.
i've cooked for my dogs and cats for at least 25 years. i start with a base of brown rice, i add vegetables (canned from a source i trust..no carrots) and bones from a trusted source. the calcium in the bones leeches out into the cooked food. i don't feed the bones to the animals. if i can find organic chicken, truly organic, from birth to processing, i add gizzards and livers into this mix.
i give my dogs calcium once a day.
i've found a dry food that i trust and it is made by Flint River Ranch. it's online.
no wet canned food for the cats. only tuna, that i trust, salmon and sardines. organic ground turkey or i cook a turkey and shred it for them.
i don't have any vet bills. i've said this before. but my dogs are so healthy and happy and i don't worry about nasty stuff going into their mouths. one cat lived to be 19 and never had anything done to him but his shots.
my other three only get their shots. same with the dogs. (faye had to have surgery once, due to an attack upon her) a vet in Austin examined her and said she was the healthiest dog that he had ever had in his clinic. ???? not sure that means anything but he couldn't say enough about her weight, stamina and coat and teeth.
cooking for your pets really isn't that difficult. you just throw it all in the same stockpot and feed it to them.
