i want to make a recipes page for the website.

i'm just wondering if anybody cook food or treats for their dog and would like to share with the rest of the world.

o0o0o00o janey what am i going to do with you...

I think this has the potential to be a very good topic, i'll have to think of some cos im drawing a blank at the minute!

Do Kong fillers count as recipes?? Cos i have loads of them but Logans fave is frozen peanut butter!!

Hayley109 what else do you fill your kong with? I use peanut butter and biscuits but other suggestions would be good for a change for Ty.
I think this could turn out to be a great topic nice one Steve x

Meat pastes are good. I sometimes use beef and salmon. Inthe summer I fill them with cordial and freeze. Gives them a nice cool treat.

Also primula,philadelphia or any soft cheese. I always make sure they are low fat too. Can't have a fat staffy!

I have never thought about cheese spread he loves normal cheese so I will have to try that one and the paste thanks
Gonna sound like a stupid question but when you use cordial how do you make it stay in as Kongs have a hole in the top and bottom lol

this is what i'm working on at the moment it's not finish i would love feedback on it.

Brilliant - really easy to negotiate!

Just pop the kong in a mug or plastic cup and top up with juice! Place in the freezer and that's it. It can get a bit messy but they're good for in the garden on a hot day.

Nice one Steve. I'll be using a few of these I think!!

Cool thanks for that Hayley I will defo be giving that a go. Steve its looking great so far I will be having a go at a few of those recipies as well am getting domesticated get me lol

i actually cook my dogs food meals by scratch.. i am making food right now for them.. i am not usually allowed in the kitchen otherwise but i make some awesome dog food and its actually fun and easy as i make it.. i always look for new ideas but the base of it all is usually cooked brown rice, really finely chopped up carrots raw or i steam them and mush them first and mix in with the rice then i take whatever meat i can find before it goes bad and half of it i put in the blender with water and i use a few pro-biotic capsules by taking the powder out and some omega 3 capsules i poke it and use the oil of a few as well as vitamin a and e and d and if i can find calcium in the capsules i use those too.. then blend it all up to a gravy type consistency and pour it in and mix and the rest of the meat i dice up small and throw in there. then i refrigerate the whole mess and at feeding time i use quick oats, mix with hot water until done then throw half of the food mix in and stir it up and they eat that. i like taking spinich and cutting it or ripping a few pieces in fresh too if i have that, and in summer i use squash because there are tons in garden and i just cook it and blend it then use that, or zuchinni.. a tomatoe or 2 thrown in is good as well. and when i feed i sometimes put a spoonful of vanilla yogurt or cottage cheese in as they love the cottage cheese. i do this because my largest dog was put on 80 bag of dogfood because they said he was overweight and 2 bags later he gained 20lbs feeding him this measured. he had gone through various brands and finally i decided if i know exactly what goes in him then i can decide his amounts and know what he reacts to and what works exactly. he is now thinning down some finally. that and i freaked out to know meat byproduct may contain euthanize animals in it and that being in dog food i wasn't liking that. i also have used DE powder food grade in the mix for health as well as fleas or parasites. i did however try this myself first.
i get to cook and someone actually enjoys it too finally! would love to learn to make treats but me and the oven are not so good together..

my dog loves mince meat,with dog biscuits,boiled rice,and a raw egg (makes fur real shiny and helps skin irriation ) its very healthy as well

ill have a think about this one lol and get back to you on it

I tend to make meals out of a meat, vegies and rice.
Meat= 70%
Vegies=10%
Rice =20%

We really spoil our little boy with human grade meats like Kangaroo, Chicken Breast and wagyu beef rump. All the meat is either diced or minced and is served raw. I take the chill of the food so it is not too cold for him to eat. Also once a week I use fish instead of one of the meats just to mix it up and give him his omega 3's.

As for treat we tend to buy them at this stage but will work on making him something nice. Now that he is 12 weeks I am going to start to feed him some bones onces a week.

I am interested in trying some offal as allot of people seem to feed their dogs offal.

Cheers

sounds like stanley is very well looked after

Could someone tell me what a kong is and how to make one?Sounds like a frozen treat,but as I've never heard the term I'd like to learn what it/they are.I'm curious to know exactly where this name originated too.lool thanks people.
