Cheap Homemade Dogfood

Author Notes: If you actually looked at what goes into dry, bagged dog food, you would be ashamed to feed it to your little babies. I was on the hunt for a healthy dogfood that wouldn't break the bank and came up with a recipe that includes beets, spinach, carrots, chicken livers, rice, barley, garlic and sage. It's done wonders for the dogs and they can't keep from drooling every time we dish it out. - cheapfoodhere

We live in a home dominated by two cats - do you have a recipe for kitties? I believe they have higher protein requirements.

My fur children , Floozie and Smuggler (Portuguese Water Dogs) would probably love this as long as the whole pot tasted like chicken livers??

I thought you were kidding at first - but this is a great idea! Miss Gingersnap (aka The GForce) loves her veggies - especially anything grilled (I think they tend to come out with essence of Mr L's steaks) and squash of any type (she and I had delicata last night) and also she's a nut for edamame, peas, fresh carrots (peeled and sliced please for Miss Thang) ... our fur kids need their veggies too!
