Crockpot chicken

Yes.  The pot I made Sunday night consisted of 5 pounds of chicken thighs, a little over a pound of calf liver, a huge yellow squash,  two large sweet potaotes, a gala apple and a bag of frozen green beans and a little garlic powder.  The time before I had used the chicken, a pound of ground turkey, two sweet ptotates, two apples, and the frozen green beans.  When I was cooking 3-4 nights a week, I would often add pear instead of apple if pears were the fruit on sale that week.   I do think it was in this forum that someone said their dogs' favorite cooked meal is liver, sweet potatos and apple cooked together.

thank you!

You are welcome and I hope she enjoys it as much as mine do.  Heck, they almost take the finsh off their dishes, then go check to see if the others left a morsel in their.

OK I made a batch this weekend of chicken thighs w/ bones, chicken leg quaters w/ bones, split chicken breast w/ bones.  (sweet/white taters, carrots, garlic cloves, spincach).
 
Since my crock only has the 4 setting (4-6-8-10) hours,  I had reset my crock to keep running all nite.  When DH came home late and said am I going to cause a fire,,,that was it,,,I ran down and turned it off.  The dogs and I did not sleep all nite,,,think they were smelling the food and I was worried about a fire!
 
Since dawn was a few ahours away, I went and turned it back on t 7am.  I pulled the veggies out so they wouldn't be mush.
 
Anyway, the bones did cook down mostly and I pureed them in the blender.  Any harder little pieces I threw out,,,and added them back to the pot.
 
Bottom line, is I dont think cooking so long just to kill the bones to nothing is worth my effort nor my electric bill.  Not sure how much it costs to run the crock so long.
 
Does anyone know the energy it takes to run a crock on LOW for 24 hours? 
Is there so much goodness in the marrow and the bone that is worth the extra time.
effort? 
 
My dog won't eat RMB or recreational.

I don't think so. The primary benefit of bones is in the teeth-cleaning. A calcium supplement is so much easier to add to cooked foods.

Oooh, no, but that'll be a good experiment when I buy a watt-meter! I'm DYING to know how we use SO much electricity every month, and there's this little $30 gadget called "Kill-a-watt" that you plug into an outlet, and plug something into it, and it measures how many watts it uses. Fun stuff! My family thinks I'm psycho about turning off lights, wait til I know exactly how much electricity, say, the TV's using. [sm=devil.gif]

So, if someone were feeding RMBs as a big part of the dog's diet, aside from the teeth issue, it would essentially be the same to feed boneless meat and a calcium supplement? For some reason meat on the bone seems a lot more "complete" to me than boneless meat and eggshell powder. [&:]
