Vet Recommended Homemade Dog Food Recipe (especially good for sensitive stomachs):
Ingredients:
5 lbs ground meat (try 3 lbs turkey & 2 lbs lean beef)
1 cup white rice
1 cup of old fashioned oats
1 bag frozen chopped spinach
5-6 cups of water
1/2 bag frozen peas & carrots
1/2 bag frozen green beans
1 small sweet potato, peeled
1 can pumpkin (use plain pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup plain yogurt/cottage cheese or a calcium supplement
Directions:
I use a really big pot, because this makes a lot!
First I cover the bottom of the pot with olive oil, then I cook the meat until it’s just cooked. Then layer rice, oats, then spinach on top of the meat and add the boiling water. (Using boiling water cuts the cooking time) Cover, cook until the rice is well done, really soft. Then add the pumpkin & veggies.
Then add the yogurt/cottage cheese or calcium( we use 4 caplets which we grind in a coffee bean grinder), and stir everything up all together. Good to freeze. I hope your dog likes it! 🐶

Would my past puppy parents share how tall your grown pup is? You would need to measure at the top of the shoulders. Here is a link on how to measure them: https://youtu.be/xRNnjCJ266s?si=iweIpGwnMMdT97Da. Below is a photo of the current litter. A couple prospective parents are asking how big the past pups grew to be. Thanks so much!

Good information for puppy owners. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/8kv1dHVcn8HBJvmA/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Everyone should see this. This x-ray is of a 2-week-old puppy. When you get your 8- to 10-week-old puppies, remember this image. Their bones don’t even touch yet. They walk around so cutely with their big, floppy paws and wobbly movements because their joints are mostly made of muscle, tendons, and ligaments, covered by skin. Nothing fits tightly together or forms a true socket yet.

If you let them run too much or don’t limit their exercise during this time, you’re not giving them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited, bouncy run makes their bones hit each other. In small amounts, this isn’t a big deal—it’s normal wear and tear for any animal. But when you let your puppy jump up and down from the couch or bed, or take them on long walks or hikes, you’re harming those developing joints. Letting them scramble on tile with no grip also damages the joints.

You only get one chance to help them grow. A strong, healthy body comes from both good breeding and a proper upbringing—not just one or the other. Once they’re fully grown—around 12 to 18 months, depending on the breed—you’ll have plenty of time for more intense play and exercise. But for now, keep things calm while they’re still little, and give them the gift of a healthy body that can only be given once.
