I want the best for my dogs like all good dog owners, but after investigating the many healthy brands on the market, I realized I couldn’t afford any of those options.

I talked to some friends, did some online research and talked to people at the vet’s office. I finally found a recipe I can afford.

I have my daughter cook the brown rice because I am really bad at it, then I brown the ground turkey and prepare the frozen veggies. At feeding time, we add in a small amount of Nutrical to make sure the puppers get all of the nutrients they need.

When Bentley got his first taste of broccoli, he reminded me of a toddler when he picked it out of his dish and put it on the floor beside his bowl. I learned quickly and smashed up the vegetables very finely for the next batch.

Every weekend I make a week’s worth of food for Osito, Bentley and Jinxx. I also make dog treats, but I’ll talk about that later.
