Homecookers: What's for dinner?

This week Jetta gets cooked lean ground beef, sweet potatoes, broccolie, and greenbeans, with a little bit of peaches and raspberries mixed in.
I give her a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement, fish oil, vit e, some freeze dried liver, and bone meal powder.
She is one happy dog at meal times!!

I tried that missing link with my dogs...none of them would eat there dinner...I guess they could taste the stuff...I mixed it in really good..maybe the texture they didn't like...I ended up dumping the whole bag

I use eggshell calcium, vitamin E, salmon oil, and Vetri-Science Senior for supplements. Also glucosamine.

We have a lamb/egg/green bean/sweet potato/rice mix, a chicken thigh/apple/carrot/snow pea/red potato/beef liver mix, a cross rib roast/egg white/chicken liver/rice/yam/green bean/apple mix lanned for this week. I don't use canned fish often at all because one of my dogs has slightly elevated kidney values and I avoid the higher phosphorus. For most dogs it would be fine.

I do home cooked because of the one dog's kidney problems and because two out of my three dogs consider eating raw meat to be as gross as I do. I'm not willing to do tough love as long as they are well fed.
 
ETA: I also add kelp.

This week my dog is eating cooked ground buffalo, canned pumpkin, and biscuits made with oat flour and olive oil. I use calcium carbonate, a human multivitamin, fish oil and vitamin E for supplements.

Missing Link is meant to go with kibble or canned dog food. It isn't enough to balance homemade food. 

Is there a place online to buy this type of homecooking for dogs or do you have to buy the regular meats from the supermarket & cook as normal??

These all sound so good. 
 
But, Willow can't have veggies or fruit.  Does anyone do a blander diet? 
 
 

Mine are having ground turkey/beef liver/yogurt/sweet potatoes/steamed cabbage.  With ground eggshell for calcium.

They also get fish oil and Vitamin E,  and a few times a week a very small portion of a ground up human multi-vitamin/mineral supplement (I haven't decided yet on what type of canine vitamin/mineral supplement I want to use).

Brandy76--I don't know of any online source for pre-made cooked meals for dogs, but there are websites where you can buy pre-made raw foods.

You can do just the meats and carbs without veggies and fruit, but make sure to supplement. I think for a dog prone to struvite stones whole milk yogurt or ricotta cheese are also very good.

Yummy...These sound great. Hope you don't mind if I steal some meal ideas.

Yeah, I looked up Missing Link a few minutes ago and it doesn't seem like enough. I'm in the process of changing vets, the one I've been seeing hasn't been very truthful about some things. It seems like most of you give a multivitamin, vit e, calcium, and fish oil, so I'll probaly start with that. Thanks for sharing! Keep'em coming.

Lori,
You could try various meats that you KNOW she'll be able to eat and you could do rice (if she can tolerate it?) and sweet potatoes.
I add green beans to Ella's crockpot, but her crockpot meals are not her sole meals. They are only kibble toppers. Or raw mixers.[]

I feed modified raw, BUT....
This week is turkey hearts, pork, pork liver, spinach, turnip greens, and yellow squash, fed raw. I will cook potatoes, for them, and they have some canned jack mackeral.

They get bone meal, fish oil, Carlson's ACES, glucosamine, MSM, and condition-specific supplements.

Mine get yogurt on dry in the morning, sometimes a little cheese or baby food, but not often.
 
My corck pot meal for them this week (1 cup of it with 1 1/2 cups of kibble) consists of 5 pounds of chicken thighs, a little over a pound of chicken necks, 1 pound of ground turkey, 2 large yellow squash, 2 large sweet  potaotes, 1 red apple, about 1/2 bag of fresh baby carrots, and half a bag of frozen green beans.  it finished cooking in time for their supper tonight.  They will get it 5 nights this week, and then get either salmon or mackeral and canned mixed unsalt veggies the other two nights.  They all get 2 fish oil a day, 1 Vit. E a day, 1 EsterC a day, 1 biotin and 1 brewers yeast each day.  Buck is 12 9all are golden retrievers0 and he also gets a milk thistle and a cranberry capsul each day.  He gets 2 MSM.Glucosamine in the morning, 2 osteo-by-flex at night, plus know nutrajoin plus in his food.  KayCee, who will be 8 in Aug. and had both knees operated on gets  the MSM/lucosamine in morning and night and the know nutra joint.  She has also been on Synovia G3 for joints for some time.

This weeks menu includes:
Canned Jack Macarel & Canned Salmon with Sweet Potatos and Zucchini
Ground Beef with Egg and apple
Chicken thighs with Brown Rice and Green Beans
All have 5% of beef or chicken liver in them and 1 teaspoon of ground eggshell per lb of food for calcium (except the fish since it already has bones).   I cook each recipe "in bulk" (4 - 8 meals) and run everything through the food processor.  Then I package them into individual servings and freeze them.
Right now I'm using a sample of a supplement I got at the Natural Pet store while waiting for the ones I ordered online to arrive from b-naturals
I'm also waiting on my books from Monica Segal so I can ensure that I'm feeding balanced meals.
