For any of you that don't know or are curious, we have given up "dog food". A little over a month ago, Mandi decided that dog food was disgusting and there was no way she was eating it ever again! I've fought with her on this issue before, so I waited her out about three days. She wouldn't budge so I caved. In the past I have researched dog food extensively and always come up with the same conclusion; it's crap :) Instead of cooking for the dogs however, I tried justifying myself by buying the most expensive, nutritious, commercial dog food I could find. Each time, after about a couple weeks, Mandi would go on strike and not eat for a few days. So I would switch the food....same result. So this last time I gave in since she is pregnant, and going with out food is not an option.
Needless to say, now I cook! It's been a positive change though. My Rottweiler is 13 yrs old and had been looking rough. She wasn't able to move around very much and all she did was sleep all day. Since I've been cooking for her though it's like she's young again! Rita gets excited about meal time and always eats all her food :)
Here is a picture of what breakfast looked like this morning. It included Eggs, egg shells, chicken, rice, brussel sprouts, wheat germ, bananas, apples, and strawberries. YUM!
You are for sure very dedicated! That food looked SOOO good lol! I would eat it :)
