Someone sent me this recipe when I was scouring the net for something to feed my 4 rescues. Granted commercial food is so much easier, but is it truly worth the risk? I myself haven't tried this yet, but figured it was worth sharing with our loyal readers. Remember when starting your pets on a new diet, give them small portions mixed with the foods you were feeding them. Then gradually increase the new foods every other day while decreasing their old food, so their systems can adjust. If you have a homemade recipe you'd like to share, please feel free to email it to us here at lil Country Paws.....

**Tips & Tricks for making homemade
A lot of ppl balk at the idea of feeding their pets raw food. Somehow we have the idea that the big bad wolf roasted the little pigs before he ate them so with that in mind here is what I do when preparing food for my critters.
Large pot filled with water, bring it to the boil, when you see it boiling drop the meat of your choice in the pot, cover with a lid and leave for 10 mins, with fish you need to only leave if for about 3- 5 mins. Remove the meat from the pan and put it in a storage container to cool.
Drop prepared veggies into the still boiling water, and leave them for another 10 mins, remove the veggies and allow them to cool, once cooled you can either just mix em in with the meat or you can puree them then add them to the meat.
If you are cooking rice, barley, or raw oats with the meal add a cup to the remaining boiling water and allow it to cook until it is just on the hard side of fully cooked… about 20 mins.
Drain the liquid from the grain into a measuring jug and allow it to cool. Once cooled place it in a bottle and save.
You can add the juice to each meal as you wish.
Add the grain to the rice and veggies and mix well.
There you have a dogs/cats dinner
