If your pooch is more of a beloved family member than a mere pet, then maybe it's time to start feeding them a nutritious homemade meal. Your dog is sure to appreciate these fresh and tasty recipes, which will typically cost you less than store-bought food. These recipes are also very easy to make. <\/p>\n

Chicken Delight<\/h2>\n

\n
• 6 cups water<\/li>\n
• 1 pound ground chicken<\/li>\n
• 2 cups brown rice<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 package of mixed vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower (Do not choose any package with onions, which can be poisonous to dogs.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Add the water, chicken, and rice to a Dutch oven or large cooking pot. Break up the chicken and distribute evenly in your pot. Cook over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce cooking temperature to low and allow to simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Add the frozen vegetables and allow to simmer for another five minutes. Remove your pot from the heat, and allow your dog food to cool thoroughly before refrigerating it in serving size portions. <\/p>\n

  Easy Crock-Pot Dog Delight<\/h2>\n

  \n
  • 2 1\/2 pounds ground beef<\/li>\n
  • 4 cups of water<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2 cups brown rice<\/li>\n
  • 1 can kidney beans, rinsed<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2 cups sliced carrots<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2 cups frozen butternut squash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Add all of your ingredients into a six-quart slow cooker. Set your temperature to low, and allow the dog food mixture to cook for approximately five hours. Or if you'd prefer, you can use the high setting on your slow cooker and cook the mixture for approximately two hours. Allow your dog food to cool completely before packaging or serving. <\/p>\n

    Homemade Chicken Jerky Strips<\/h2>\n

    \n
    • 2 to 3 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Cut the chicken breasts into approximately 10 to 15 strips that are about 1\/8 of an inch thick. Place your strips on a cookie sheet, and then bake them in an oven for approximately two hours. <\/p>\n
