Cooking at home.

A lot of pet parents cook meals for their pets. After the recent recall of major pet foods, it's becoming more popular. The best way to find out about cooking for your pet is from your vet.

Recently we switched our dog to a homemade diet due to liver failure. She wasn't a fan of the liver diet dog food, and when we asked what else we could do our vet gave us some recipes. It's pretty simple, and she is loving the food.

We use a basic recipe of cooked brown rice, turkey, and cottage cheese. The recipe also calls for broccoli, which she happens to love as a treat, so we often leave it out of the meal and keep it as a treat. It's not too hard to whip up a batch either, and she thinks she is getting the royal treatment by eating "people food".

Anyway, it's worth asking about if you are concerned with the saftey of your pet's food. You can even cook for other animals as well, our bird loves the "birdie bread" recipe (cornbread with veggies cooked into it).
