Lily’s Soft Food

This is not people food but it is something that I make on a very regular basis and want to share it. This will probably be the only time I have a recipe for dogs on the blog.
After moving to Montana and
having multiple natural pet food stores within a mile of my house I took a
really close look at what I was feeding Lily. She really is like a child in my family, she pretty much rules
the house (Houdini the cat does stand up to her) so I wanted to be feeding her
food that I would eat, trying to cut down on the chemicals. The old food that I was
feeding her had a ton of things in it that I couldn’t even pronounce. Also since she is only 8 and ½ pounds
everything she eats is even more concentrated. So I started by changing her kibble, after trying a couple
of different options she decided she likes Now Fresh Grain Free Small Breed DogFood.
Since the day I got her I
have always given her a couple of teaspoons of a soft food toper (smalls dogs
are known to be picky eaters). Her
soft food use to be from a can but then while reading and Everyday with Rachael
Ray I found her recipe for Thank Your Dog Casserole and decided I would see if
Lily liked it. She LOVED IT!! This is now what she gets everyday as
the topper on her kibble. I put it
in little containers and freeze them until needed. For Lily this lasts close to a month. I use whatever vegetables I have on
hand, normally: green beans, corn, peas, and carrots. I also use homemade breadcrumbs to keep all the yucky
chemicals out of her food.
