MOOing Dog Food - March 2019

I have been cooking this for my dog for years. As I peel my vegetables for the evening meal I put all peelings into a large plastic container. I also add the water I have strained off my cooked pasta. After a meal, I scrape the plates into the container; anything that is left after any meal goes into the container. Once a week the container is pretty full and the contents go into the boiler with a kilo of mince, a cup of rice, maybe a packet of dry soup or whatever is near the use by date, and of course salt. I cook it for half an hour then let cool overnight. Next morning I fill my plastic containers. I usually fill 10 to 12 containers. The cost to feed the most loved member of our family is about $7 per week (for the mince and rice). I nearly forgot - our dog weighs over 30 kilos.

Editor's note: This is great and an excellent way to keep your pet and grocery budget healthy. Just remember: no onions or garlic for dogs! Onions and garlic are highly toxic to dogs and can kill them, so be sure to put the skins and any cooked or raw onion or garlic in the compost and not the dog food. Cath
