At my house, dinner time is the most popular time of the day. All of my dogs watch anxiously as I get their individual food bowls out and put them on the countertop to be filled with food.

On special occasions, I cook for my dogs, usually boiled chicken or roast mixed with rice. I sometimes add canned carrots and green beans or peas. This gives their cooked food a little more flavor. I like to rotate the vegetables because it gives my dogs a variety of flavors.

Because the food I cook for my dogs is new to their palate, they eat with vigor and look for more. Sometimes I give in and give them a bit more, but not too much because I don’t want them to eat until they get sick.

Never give your dog cooked bones because they can splinter and become lodged in your pet’s throat.

There are some quality dog foods on the market but with the pet food recall, many pet owners are choosing to cook for their pets. This is the best way to know what your dog is eating.

If you’re not sure what to feed your dog, consult your veterinarian. Much like humans, dogs have nutritional requirements to keep them healthy.
