Hands-on dog food!

I just took a break from my work to put on a pot of dog food to cook. We make our own dog food in a slow cooker, using meat scraps from the local butcher and soup mix (containing green and yellow peas, pearl barley, lentils, and, what I’d never noticed before, alphabet pasta!). We then add kelp powder, brewers yeast flakes, and seasonal vegetables.

Our dogs love it, it’s got no artificial junk in it, it costs less than store-bought pet food, it’s hassle-free to make with the slow cooker, and we’re not creating piles of nasty, stinky cans. Win-win all round!

…not to mention the added bonus of playing with the alphabet pasta!

    Hi Megan

    Thanks for your kind words about my blog. I don’t feel like a natural writer at all, but I do enjoy putting my posts together, so my advice is to go for it! And just enjoy it. We’ve all got something to share. Good luck and let me know how you get on.
