We have a very finicky Cane Corso puppy so trying this an alternative to canned food as a kibble topper. I did mix 1/3 brown, 1/3 purple & 1/3 red organic rice as she likes a variety of textures etc. Looking forward to reporting back on the results.
I am excited to try this recipe! we decided to start making our own dog food since the last 2 bags of food we have purchased have had alot of crushed dog food in them almost like powder and our pups won’t eat it even if we mix their canned food with it. I know they are going to go bonkers over this. I honestly thought it would be very time consuming but how easy is a crockpot.
I also will be making some doggie treats with your recipes. So glad I found your website. Thank You!
I WILL TRY IT IN CROCKPOT THEN LEAVE
