Sharing a recipe for wholesome do-it-yourself pet food!
Hello buddies! How are ya? I hope that your day goes properly! At this time, I’m off to the youngsters’ college to volunteer and am trying ahead to a while within the sauna blanket after a exercise. It must be a reasonably low-key day!
For as we speak’s put up, I wished to share Maisey’s newest obsession with you: do-it-yourself pet food. This straightforward recipe is PACKED with vitamins and she or he goes loopy with it.
(See the loopy eyes?? She’s INTO IT.)
TBH, I all the time felt a bit of unhealthy giving her packaged pet food as a result of this creature LOVES contemporary meals. She’s continually begging for scraps of broccoli and bell pepper (her two faves), has stolen a whole brisket off the counter (and ate it on our new white sofa..), an entire hen breast (bones and all, and fortunately didn’t get sick), in addition to ramen and curry. Figuring out her taste profile, I’d pour her kibble into her bowl and really feel a bit of unhealthy for the gourmand gal. To spice issues up, we’d put Contemporary Pet on high from Entire Meals (SO costly and nonetheless felt like a block of packaged meat), however I knew there needed to be a greater method.
I began researching a ton, and located a recipe on-line that impressed me to lastly make our personal.
I’m excited to share the entire particulars with you! It’s cheaper than Contemporary Pet, with licensed natural, farm contemporary, and wild-caught components, and I really like that I do know all the things that went into it. No preservatives or further stuff.
