For my 3 golden retrievers, I start with 5 pounds of chicken thighs, cover with water, bring to boil, turn crock pot down and cook all night. Next morning i add another ound to pound half of another meat--varies from week to week i use cut up calf liver, chopped up chicken gizzards, chicken livers, ground turkey, sometimes by rarely ground beef. Also add a l pound bag of frozen green beans, some chopped up sweet potates, chopped up apples, and depending on the size and amout of sweet potatoes and apples, (or sometimes pears), I will add carrots, fresh squash, frozen broccoli, etc. Bring back to boil, reduce heat and cook til like 5-6:00, total of about 24 hours. I put this on top of 1 1/2 cups of dry food at night. They also get 1 cup of dry in the morning.
The chicken stew lasts me 5 nights. Get canned mackeral or salmon (or fresh fish i have some) and can of unsalted mixed veggies the other two nights.. I don't add anything in the way of sups to the stew. On the side, my dogs get 2 fish oil, one vitamin E, an EsterC, a biotin, a Breer's yeast table every day. My 12 year old gt a milk thistle and a cranberry cap every day, and he and the almost 8 year old gts joint sups.
This week i did a little diffeent and added a pack of chicken necks with the thighs. I added the ground turky the next morning. All told, they get 2 1/2 cups of dry and one cup of stew or fish/veggies each day. i do add a little yogurt and soemtimes some cheese or baby food to their breakfast meal.
