We generally feed our gang on Royal Canin but a couple of times a month I can be found slaving over a hot stove cooking up a huge pot of mince (beef, pork or lamb) mixed veg and rice seasoned with garlic.
They know this effort is for their benefit and will crowd around with woofs & wags of encouragement. We then portion up & freeze about 2/3 whilst the remainder does breakfast and dinner for a couple of days and aslo gives them a break form their usual kibble.
-
yes - I do - its usually steamed chicken, fish or lamb shanks and veg - I love cooking for my dogs they are sooo appreciative :005: they have kibble breakfast usually...with small teaspoon of yogurt
-
Lamb shanks, necks and veg in the slow cooker. They love it.
-
Don't cook, but do spend a reasonable amount of time sorting out her raw diet! :D
-
Oh god, YES!!! sometimes though they have their complete food with just packet meat or gravy or plain.
Some nights we well by we i meant I cook them Vegetables to go with it, or chicken/Fish/Rice. Sunday's though they get a generous portion of sunday lunch!! they know when Sunday arrives!! almost as excited as i am!
-
I haven't got to the slaving over a hot oven yet (although I'm sure that's to come!) However my OH is astounded by the time I take chopping, creating and making treats, kongs and all things yum for Harvey - far more effort goes in to the kongs than our dinners! :005: (good job the OH is a cracking chef!) :004:
-
Up until last week, YES :005: because of Purdeys allergies, I'd cook up Turkey, veg, mixed herbs & a touch of garlic(sometimes OH would come home from work & would comment on how lovely tea smelt.......i had to inform him that, that was for the dogs & his was in the freezer & off to work I'd go :011: )
Last week, however, I started the girls on a barf diet & can't believe how easy it is ( no more cooking :dance04: ) (& how 'not very good' other foods are for them :o )
-
Yep,big portions of pasta, rabbit, tripe and veg portioned up, frozen and dished up for dinner each day.
-
Yes...............I admit to it.
I cook lambs liver for my 3. I use it for recall when we go on the tops. They love it, so it works a treat.
When I am cooking it in the kitchen, the sound is horrendous. You would think three dogs were being murdered. Good job it cooks quickly. :005: :005:
-
Yes - Hector has scrambled egg, porridge, fish, turkey, sardines,carrots and various small portions of greens.
He basically has 1/2 dried food with whatever is today's special
However I was very interested about the raw food diet they were talking about on crufts and will research this with a view to incorporating this also.

Same here. But have found out that Logan loves liverbread so may have to bake that. :005:
-
I very rarely cook solely for Charley. He always has something of what I have so cook a bit extra no matter what it is. He loves chicken, turkey, steak of any description, roast beef, roast pork, lamb and pork chops. He also loves kippers.
-
We havent yet "cooked " for Charley as not had him that long so concentrated on getting weigh on and keeping diet the same etc... I have done 2 batches of Tuna bread though which works wonders on Sundays at training classes :)
Does anyone have the Livercake Receipe - i dont have a food processor so not sure i will have facilities to do it myself - but im sure the parents will oblidge at thiers :)

Thank you - have printed off Livercake receipe - off to mums to use facilities on Tues :) mayabe a food processor now needs to be on my BDay wish list !
-
errr no - its as much as I can do to cook for myself sometimes ;) if they're ill though I do
-
My Dad reminded me at the weekend that we used to cook Pearl Barley for our Samoyeds.
The only thing is we can't remember why we were told it was good for them - does anyone know if it would also benefit Cockers????

my sons are always complaining that i cook more for the dogs than i do for them - i have told them they are quite welcome to have the chicken caserole or pilchard cake i make for the dogs on a regular basis :005: somehow they dont seem too impressed.
-
I hate cooking for myself and OH never mind the dogs :lol2: They get chicken or fish and rice if they're ill and occasionally get a bit of what we're having if it's suitable or I'll do them some extra pasta, toast or scrambled egg as a treat but in general they don't get cooked food, they're on a half kibble and half raw diet so although I don't cook I do defrost ;)
