In an effort to help Winston to be healthier and more eco-friendly I’ve been making food from scratch for him. He’s not a big eater (at 15 pounds he obviously doesn’t need to much) but he does eat one bowl of homemade food and one bowl of Newman’s Own Organic dog food each day.
His food is super easy to make. I grill chicken breast and make white rice. After chopping the chicken breast I add that to the white rice and then add fresh or frozen veggies depending on what I have on hand. I typically use frozen peas and fresh chopped carrots. I mix it all together so that it is 1/3 chicken, 1/3 rice and 1/3 veggies – you can make the batch as large or small as you like. I prefer to make a large batch and then freeze it. I put it into jars that hold enough for a few days. That way I can pull a jar out of the freezer every few days and have fresh food for him. I add a multi vitamin to the bowl as well – just to be sure he’s getting all the nutrients he needs. I originally thought he’d like the taste of the vitamin but since he won’t eat it whole as a treat then I chop it up and put in on his food – next time I’ll just buy a vitamin power as that will be much easier to sprinkle on. He absolutely loves his specially made food and gets so much more excited about it than his hard food.
