The following recipe is from Lee Love, a Japanese gentleman who, like
myself has an Akita (I have two), and prefers to make his dog's food from
scratch. He says Taiko is thriving on it.
I cook this in a crockpot. You can use an iron kettle or dutch oven on the
stove on low. Preparation only takes about 20 minutes and makes about 10 to
14 8ounce bags, that are frozen.
Brown/steam lamb in frypan. After it gets going, put in the chopped garlic
and onions to brown. Boil water, put about 4 or 5 cups into the
crock/kettle, so it is already hot while you are fixing the rest of the
ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the frypan. Cut brocolli and add this to
the crock. Put the rest of the works in the crock, add enough hot water to
cover (on my standard crock, this is about 1 inch from the top.) Add salt
and pepper to taste. Throw in 1.5 cup of brown rice & mix, then plug the
crockpot in the bathroom and close the door so the cats don't eat it!
I do this the night before, then put the unplugged crock in the oven in the
morining to cool, so when I get back from work, I can put the stew in
baggies (plastic bags and twist ties.) I use a small yogurt container to
hold the sandwich bags and scoop 8 oz. into each bag. I freeze them all up
(10 to 14 bags) and put one frozen bag in the fridge from the freezer to
thaw for the next day. Takes about 15mins. to bag up.
Taiko gets 4oz (half a bag) added to her Nurto's Lamb & Rice kibble dog
food in her morning and evening meal. I put half in a frypan with water to
warm up. She thinks this is Ambrosia! If you want to make a milder mix, for
your dog that might be having intestinal problems, boil and drain the lamb
before you put it in the crock. I normally don't do this because a lot of
the flavor is in the drippings. You can also subtitute ground beef for the
lamb if you can't find lamb. If you feed your dog chicken, you can
substitute chopped or ground chicken.
This stew tastes good! And unlike the processed stuff, you or I can enjoy
eating it! I got my quantities from the 1/3 grain, 1/3 meat, 1/3 veggies
"in the wild" formula for dogs/wolves. The Kombu kelp is added for its
iodine content.

“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
