Do you still use this recipe Rhonda? I also like your dog biscuits and will add the oil for the Omega 3.<br /><br />I think Samson would love a warm dinner over his dry food any day. Also not only is this cheaper it is much healthier for him too.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />KylieHome Is My Havenhttps://homesmyhaven.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-74797214875055191972017-02-05T04:48:19.056+10:002017-02-05T04:48:19.056+10:00I am just making this now and it even smells like ...I am just making this now and it even smells like dog food! ����❤ any idea how this turns out?

I'm enquiring about the barley! In one of the dog food articles I've just been reading it says not to feed dogs barley. Though your dogs are obviously living proof that it's ok. So I guess I'll alternate lentils and barley. Thanks Rhonda for your fantastic and knowledgeable site.<br />DianeMy Father's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349207823312809452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-53092459493820369592010-08-27T04:00:35.677+10:002010-08-27T04:00:35.677+10:00Rhonda, I just made this recipe last night.

He kept returning to his bowl to lick it after eating all the food. <br /><br />I also discovered that my local butcher makes his own "dog food" which is the left over pieces. He sells it for 89 cents a pound. This is what I used in the recipe.<br /><br />Keep up the outstanding work!

Thanks so much for posting this! A few questions. Do you drain off any water, or is it served as somewhat of a gruel. It seems so, but I wanted to make sure. Does it have to be beef? I found a package of chicken breasts that got lost in the freezer and has gotten freezer burned. The off taste wouldn't suite well with the family, so I was thinking of cooking it up for the dog anyway. Also, we are overrun by wild hogs. I can't stand the taste myself and was wondering if pork could be used as well. <br /><br />Thanks so much for a great blog, you have had me reading for a few hours now, lol.Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736192029641354808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-26344666130366271352010-01-27T08:12:05.987+10:002010-01-27T08:12:05.987+10:00Wow this is great.
