What to Feed Your Pregnant Dog

Posted by Kimberly on 2nd September 2008


Many of you may think that our little pregnant dogs may have all kinds of strange cravings and want to eat like crazy when they’re pregnant…but dog’s are pretty controlled in all honesty.

They may want a few more morsels than usual, but that’s normal.

So, what should your regimen be when your dog is pregnant?

Well, a dog’s pregnancy is typically 60-63 days long, roughly 9 weeks.

So, here is your food schedule:

1st 30 days –> The dog should be eating normally…nothing new, nothing different.

* Tip: You may supplement fresh meat into their diet on a daily basis if you are so inclined.

Last month –> The mommy dog should be eating a high quality puppy food.

Now, in my opinion, I think it’s healthy to also supplement a mother dog’s diet, and any dog’s diet for that matter, with Read the rest of this entry »

  • Leftover risotto with wild mushrooms
  • Browning bananas
  • Leftover bean salad
  • Leftover steak
  • Leftover chicken breasts
  • “Muscle Powder” that will not be used – simply because it has a lot of nutrients & vitamins in it…Don’t use much though.

That’s just a Read the rest of this entry »

Everything But The Kitchen Sink Homemade Doggy Biscuits

Posted by Kimberly on 26th March 2008

new-pics-206.jpgI regularly bake homemade doggy biscuits, and people always want to know how I make them…

Photo left: Sugar, Kurious, Knosey & Kaptain waiting for Mommy’s Homemade Treats!

In all honesty, I make them differently every single time. I always make the joke that Everything But the Kitchen Sink goes into them.

If you’re a person that doesn’t mind “experimenting” and cooking without a concise recipe, then you’ll love this project!!! Really, you can’t go wrong…You’re making really dry, crunchy, little treats for your dogs that love to eat just about anything…Don’t be scared!!! LOL

We regularly have very healthy ingredients, in bulk, that I can use for the base of the biscuits, such as organic rolled oats, wheat germ & bran, unsweetened coconut, whole what flour, etc.

Firstly, I check out what we have in the way of healthy leftovers, such as meat without a lot of fat or seasonings. I will cut it up and throw it in the bowl.

Next…is there leftover rice, bulgur, beans??? Anything like that? If so, I throw it in. How about vegetables that you are not going to eat? Throw that in too. Leftover soup? Mash it all up and add that too (provided there is little salt and fat).

Stay away from anything with sugar, excessive amounts of salt or fats. Follow your common sense, meaning, if you shouldn’t be eating it in a healthy diet, don’t feed it to your dogs…

* CHOCOLATE of any kind is like a POISON to your dog! NEVER EVER add this to your dog’s diet!

Do not add baking soda or baking powder…We’re not looking for the treats to rise or puff up when baked…We’re trying to dry out the ingredients!

Now that you have the base of your leftovers, haul out your rolled oats, bran, seeds, nuts, coconut, wheat germ…whatever you have. DO NOT use white flour to bind the mixture! Use whole wheat flour or another type of whole flour.

Organic ingredients are best, of course.

Some Interesting Additions:

* I ALWAYS add at least 3-4 tbsp of parsley into the mixture for bad breath.

* I add either Read the rest of this entry »
