Do you think I'm spoiling my dog?

[MiHale]

My neighbor popped in this a.m. while I was preparing Roscoe’s weekly food. He can’t believe that’s what I go thru to feed the dog. “Totally spoiled, that pup” he said.

Been doing it for years…Roscoe is 13.

White and dark meat of chicken, rice, mixed veggies.



Mixed and packaged for freezing one for now, one for later.

2. i think its great! How do you know how much to feed them?

5. Honestly it's trial and error...

Owing to a pancreatic problem earlier in life I have to feed him 4 smaller meals throughout the day. Depending on the day’s activities the amount can vary. Usually a couple tablespoons mixed with a little kibble for crunch and dental health. We’ve settled on that amount…keeps him happy and problem free.

3. No. Your dog deserves it. There's no such thing as a spoiled dog (or cat).

My cat gets human-grade tuna and baby food for treats. She is not spoiled either.

7. Your doggo is not spoiled just very well loved!

If you could hold the kibble and chicken, I’d join him in that meal! Looks yummy.

8. I can enjoy the food I make him...

He likes the kibble, tried to wean him off …no deal…begs for it.

11. You are a good person and a true dog lover to do this. Nothing like homemade if you can do it.

12. Looks great!

Not sure how feeding healthy food is "spoiling" anyone?

All these are gonna be shown to my neighbor. Great guy, good Dem, can’t understand why I make food when it comes ready to use.

17. Loving your doggo and taking bestest care is not "spoiling".

It is called being a responsible, caring pet parent.

[MiHale]

18. I've been showing my great friend and neighbor these responses....

He’s totally surrendered and wants to learn how to make his dogs food.

21. So glad that your neighbor has come over to the correct way of

thinking and caring for his companion.

19. We do the same thing for our dogs.

We have a meat grinder attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer. We grind up chicken hearts, gizzards, beef kidney and add mixed vegetables and rice like you do. Sometimes we use a different starch like barley, brown rice or grits. Our little one, a four pound Maltese/Yorkie, hates carrots and peas, so I put the veggies in the blender and puree it. She doesn't even know she eats carrots and peas now. If you shop around it's cheaper than some dog foods.
