My dogs are omnivores....

If your dogs are itching it could be a vitamin E deficiency..

You need to take a couple of factors into consideration..Volume and nutrition

Taz’s pretty good dog food
Chicken thighs...about 5 lb’s
Garbanzo beans about 2 lbs.
Brown rice
2lbs of frozen mixed vegs.

day one.
Simmer the chicken thighs in water until falling off the bone. Refrigerate overnight
Soak the garbanzo beans in water...Need about 3 times the water as beans.

Day 2..
Defat the chicken broth..Pick the meat and discard the skin.
Too much fat in a dogs diet can lead to pancreatitis and significant vet bills.
Drain the garbanzo’s and add to the chicken broth and simmer about 2 hours.
In the last 30 minutes stir in about 1 lb of brown rice and the mixed vegs...

Makes about 5 gallons.

Makes about a 1 month supply of 2-2 1/2 cups a day.

Can supplement with a vit e cap and a doggie mineral mvi daily.

My Labs love it...Freezes well.

I thaw in the refrigerator about 2-3 days in advance...
