Lamb or beef recipe

1lb ground or cubed lamb or beef

1-2 cups brown rice

2 stalks Broccoli

2 medium yams

3 medium carrots

Directions:

Brown meat in a frying pan lightly greased with oil. Put into a pot of water (enough to cover contents). Add cubed yams, cut broccoli, sliced carrots and brown rice.   If using cubed meat cut into very small pieces. Bring all to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook for about an hour or until all is soft and tender. Do not add spices. Let cool and mash up slightly -   For small dogs mash up well. After all is cool you can add vitamins if you like. This is enough for several meals for a small to medium dog. If your dog can not eat this much in a 3 day period put into ice tray and freeze and take a couple of cubs as needed and thaw as needed.

Yams and real meat are great for dogs.   Yogurt is also great for the digestive system but only give in small amounts ( a couple of spoonfuls a couple of times a week).

  Do not feed your dog bones , especially cooked bones. Fragments can become lodged in the digestive tract. Canines in the wild who eat bones have the benefit of consuming hair and hide too, which have been found to ‘pad' the bone fragments and aid in their passing. Other foods to avoid that are dangerous for dogs are chocolate, avocados, mushrooms, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, onions, and garlic.

Sloppy Jo for Fido

1-cup hamburger meat

1 tbsp canola oil

2 eggs added and scrambled in

1/2   cup cooked plain oatmeal

1 handful diced green beans (take the ends off of the beans   & carrots and freeze them in a baggie and then boil them up for the dog).

1 carrot or a hand full of carrot ends and tips pre cooked

2 Tbsp. cottage cheese

In a large skillet combine all of the ingredients and stir-fry. Combine all ingredients (except cottage cheese). After cooled add in the cheese. Serve at room temperature. A good doggy multivitamin/mineral supplement may be added for good measure. Be sure to store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and discard any remains after 3 days.

(you can also save fat that has been trimmed off of beef, lamb and goat that you prepare for the family and freeze the scraps until you get enough to equal 2 cups of scraps and either grind in a meat grinder or cup into very small strips fry it up and pour off grease into a jar to use   occasionally over store bought dry food. Only use a spoonful or two and mix in well). Store this fat in the freezer and take out as needed)
