Sharing a recipe for wholesome do-it-yourself pet food!
Hello mates! How are ya? I hope that your day goes nicely! Right now, I’m off to the children’ faculty to volunteer and am trying ahead to a while within the sauna blanket after a exercise. It needs to be a reasonably low-key day!
For right this moment’s put up, I needed to share Maisey’s newest obsession with you: do-it-yourself pet food. This easy recipe is PACKED with vitamins and he or she goes loopy with it.
(See the loopy eyes?? She’s INTO IT.)
TBH, I at all times felt a little bit unhealthy giving her packaged pet food as a result of this creature LOVES recent meals. She’s continually begging for scraps of broccoli and bell pepper (her two faves), has stolen a complete brisket off the counter (and ate it on our new white sofa..), a complete rooster breast (bones and all, and fortunately didn’t get sick), in addition to ramen and curry. Understanding her taste profile, I’d pour her kibble into her bowl and really feel a little bit unhealthy for the connoisseur gal. To spice issues up, we might put Contemporary Pet on high from Entire Meals (SO costly and nonetheless felt like a block of packaged meat), however I knew there needed to be a greater means.
I began researching a ton, and located a recipe on-line that impressed me to lastly make our personal.
I’m excited to share all the particulars with you! It’s cheaper than Contemporary Pet, with licensed natural, farm recent, and wild-caught elements, and I like that I do know the whole lot that went into it. No preservatives or additional stuff.
