DOG FOOD FOR NORMAL, FUSSY, FAT, THIN AND DIABETIC DOGS
I have been making this recipe since the 1990s. It has been successfully served to at least 20 different dogs. It seems to appeal to them all. Fat ones lose weight. Thin ones gain weight. Even fussy and diabetic dogs will usually eat it. The recipe, when made as shown, is enough to feed about 30 kilos (or 66 pounds) of dog for a week. I serve this recipe once a day (in the evening) and add one large handful of hard food per 10 kilos (22 pounds) of dog. The morning feed is one handful of hard food per 10 kilos of dog. This recipe is based on a core approach given to me by a Chinese friend, Pamela, who always said tinned dog food was hard on a dog's kidneys-especially true, she said, for male dogs. The first dogs to enjoy this recipe each lived to 15 years of age. It's okay to leave out, short-change or substitute ingredients, but don't give dogs onions. The recipe form insists on an indication of servings, so I said 14 ( a serve a day for two dogs). This is the first recipe I ever submitted to Zaar. Hey, don't we all put our kids and dogs first?

Steps:
- If you are making the recipe as shown, before you start to prepare it, make sure you have a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. A very large stock pot is great and essential.
- Chop or slice the carrots, potatoes, celery and meat (other than minced meat) to a size that suits your dog.
- Add the above ingredients to the pot.
- Add the drippings, or soy sauce and stock cubes to the pot. If you don't make roasts, see if your neighbours will save their drippings. This recipe can be made without the drippings or soy sauce/stock cubes, but I think the doggies deserve this luxury. You can freeze drippings.
- Add the water to the pot. You may need to reduce the amount of water. It will depend on the moisture content in the vegetables and meat. These days, I use about 12-14 cups of water.
- Put the pot on the stove top, over a high heat.
- Let it cook for about one hour.
- Then -- assuming the mixture has come to a boil -- add the barley. Don't add the barley until the boil happens (it doesn't have to be a big rolling boil).
- After adding the barley, cook for another 30-35 minutes (depending on what the barley package suggests.
- This recipe really holds its heat, so let it cool for at least four hours before serving. Better still, make the recipe in the morning (weekends are good), then dish up the servings for the evening meal and let them cool all day.
- Store in the refrigerator after completely cooled. Freezes well.

DOG FOOD FOR DOGS WITH UPSET TUMMIES AND DON'T WANT TO EAT
If your dog is listless, has an unset stomach and/or vomiting, this is what my veterinarian suggested I feed my dogs. It works every time. Even if they won't eat anything else, they will usually eat some of this food and it is easy on their tummies. I have passed this along to a lot of my friends and it has always worked on their dogs too. Time does not include time for cooking rice. If you like, you can purchase a quart of white rice at a Chinese carryout. As you can see from the nutritional information, this recipe is low in fat AND sodium.

Steps:
- Mix the canned chicken with the cooked rice. Feed the dog 1/4 cup for small dogs, 1/2 a cup for medium size dogs and 1 cup for large dogs. If they keep the food down and are hungry for more, you can feed them an addition 1/4, 1/2 or 1 cup.
- The size of the canned chicken is an estimate. I always buy the large can and not the smaller one.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Reheat slightly to take the chill off when feeding leftovers.
- After a one or two days on this diet, your dog should be feeling better. If they are still sick and listless, or don't want to eat this food, take to your veterinarian.

DROOG'S DIABETIC DOG FOOD WITH VITAMIN THERAPY
Please refrain from commenting unless you have read the directions and full intent of the recipe and have a firm grasp of canine diabetes and insulin dependent dogs. COMMENT on COMMENTS: This mixture is ADDED to prescription dog food diet as stated in the directions. It is not meant to replace dog food. It was developed by our VETERINARIAN and NUTRITIONIST as an additive to the prescription food that is not specifically formulated for a diabetic. It makes NUMEROUS servings - it is not meant for a whole meal!!!!!! Your dog has been diagnosed with diabetes; you are scared, frustrated and overwhelmed. I can relate. If your faithful pet has been in the hospital with Ketoacidosis and has just returned home you may find yourself frantic as your pet refuses to eat. The refusal to eat is normal, they just don't feel good. If you cannot get your pet to eat please DO NOT administer insulin. Your pet needs to be enticed to eat, try feeding from your hand. The prescription food may be another problem. Pets usually hate it and it really is not the healthiest food. Follow the guidelines below (along with your vet) to come up with a meal and vitamin therapy plan to fit your dog's new needs. The vitamins mentioned are particularly needed for diabetics, there are certainly more vitamins than listed in the food source. This meal plan was designed by a NUTRITIONIST and VETERINARIAN for a 90 pound DIABETIC dog, if your dog is smaller you will have to decrease the vitamins and food allotment by weight. Feel free to zmail me with any questions or for more information. This meal plan is designed for dogs RECEIVING INSULIN along with its meals TWICE a day. My dog's insulin requirements drastically reduced and he is active, beautiful, happy and healthy! Please check blood regularly when switching as you pets insulin requirements may drop as well. Good Luck! You can do it! We are on year three!!! *********** UPDATE: Sadly, Droog went to the rainbow bridge this year. He lived with diabetes for the last four years of his life and left us 4 days before his 16th birthday. Droog was a Chocolate Lab whose smile could light up a room and had an amazing propensity to heal heartache. We miss him very much, but diabetes did not end his life, age did... and he lived a full and happy life and touched the hearts of many.

Tips:
- For Normal Dogs: Prioritize fresh, whole ingredients like meat, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid processed foods, excessive carbohydrates, and added sugars.
- For Fussy Dogs: Entice them with flavorful ingredients like bone broth, fish, and cheese. Consider adding toppers or mixing wet food with kibble.
- For Fat Dogs: Reduce calorie intake and opt for low-fat protein sources like chicken or fish. Include fiber-rich ingredients like pumpkin and oats.
- For Thin Dogs: Increase calorie intake with energy-dense ingredients like peanut butter, avocado, and coconut oil. Offer smaller, more frequent meals.
- For Diabetic Dogs: Choose low-carbohydrate, high-fiber foods to manage blood sugar levels. Avoid sugary treats and monitor portion sizes.
