I’m pretty lucky with the fact that my kid is a good eater.  He loves mom’s cooking and will pretty much inhale whatever it is that I give him.  Of course there are some exceptions and there are a few things he’s allergic too, but overall he’s pretty easy to please.

I try to make sure he gets a wide variety of food through the week and that includes fish.  For Rocky, Fridays are known as “Fishie Fridays” and if you say “Fishie” to him, he knows exactly what you’re talking about.

Normally he gets a tin of sardines packed in spring water.  All the health benefits fish provide for humans, also benefit dogs.  Which for doggies, includes a healthy shiny coat.
I like to change it up every so often so that sardines aren’t the only fish Rocky gets exposed to.  I started toying around with other ideas and finally decided I could make a fish loaf that included eggs and…

My kid is like his mama in several ways. Cold and rainy days are best dealt with by staying snug indoors with plenty of blankets. Sleeping is by far one of the best activities ever and we love our veggies. Also like me, Rocky is picky about the way his veggies are prepared. And what veggies he likes.

Most raw feeders feed their dogs raw veggies. Rocky isn’t into raw veggies so much. I have discovered after much testing that slightly cooked veggies go down smoother. Also after much testing I have learned what he loves and what he doesn’t. I have finally come up with a veggie combo that he loves and serves as a good base. Sometimes I add stuff here and there but this recipe is the foundation and what goes into every veggie mix.

Dogs can’t digest whole veggies pieces very well. It either needs to be super…

Ground beef, carrots, and celery, that sounds like the start to maybe a meatloaf? Or some dirty rice? Not this time, this is the start to Rocky’s cheeseburger. Rocky gets to eat all kinds of stuff and sometimes I like to take it to that next step and make his meals a little more special. We had burgers the other night and I figured Rocky would like to have a cheeseburger too.

Rocky’s Cheeseburger

• 1/2 lb of lean ground beef
• 7 baby carrots
• 1/4 stalk of celery
• 1 TBSP of shredded cheddar
• Sprinkle of garlic powder*

In a medium sized mixing bowl add the ground beef. Finely chop the celery and carrots* and add those to the ground beef. Add in the cheese and the garlic powder and combine. Shape into three patties. One patty becomes part of one meal.* Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top when serving.

* Dogs cannot digest big pieces of vegetables easily…
