Any recipes or websites? Thanks Lisa and Frankie |

| You know, for Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Schlueter gave me a cookbook for the dogs. It has some swanky illustrations and I'm sure the recipes would satiate any dogs palate. I can dig up some recipes, a lot of them are a filling dish that could be used to replace a meal here and there. The only thing I DO cook for my dogs is rice and hamburger meat for diarrhea issues.  |
| I barely care to cook for myself.... And I am much better at making sure my dogs get all their supplements than I am - a daily vitamin is too much most days for me! |
 Here too!There have been a few times that we had the dogs' stew for dinner.  http://oesusa.com/index.682.jpg If you'd like me to send you what an holistic vet recommends, let me know. You can run it past Frankie's physical therapist to see if it's appropriate. Note though that we do cook it and I don't give them the bones... you can decide what's best for your boy. |
| Jaclin I would love the recipe that you have. Thanks Lisa and Frankie |
That batch was just water, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, and green beans. I remember thinking... give a dog broccoli or cauliflower? P-U-stinkers! But that's not the case with mine. I had a beef steak that I cooked on the George Foreman grill  , sliced it and dumped it in there too. You can add a starch if you want... the vet recommends over-cooking any grain it so it's digested better. We use this as a topper for the kibble sometimes. I'll send you the info from the vet. |

| I've often thought it would be a very nice gesture if my dogs might consider cooking for me just once. |
