Reply #9: Our little pack is beautiful

[doodadem]

If I do say so myself! Would love to upload some pictures, but I've never figured out how. We love the Sighthound group, and had Greyhounds for years, then Saluki's. Fell so in love with the Borzoi/GP cross, that we got the purebred Borzoi last year. If she gets anymore energy from me cooking for her, I may go insane! She's still a big pup--sighthounds mature late.

In research so far, I have discovered a few important things:
--the ratio for meat, veges, starch, should be 40%, 30%, 30%. I'd been doing it up like we prefer, with the majority, say 50%, pasta. Those cheap hearts and livers are starting to look better and better.

--You should only feed liver 3 times a week though. Last night, I gave them canned mackeral--they love it, and the oiliness is really good.

--Interestingly, the dog that holds the record for longevity at 27 years old, was fed strictly vegetarian--fresh garden veges in a lentil base.

Making up big batches, and then dividing it up into gallon freezer bags seems to work well. I microwave in the same bag, wash it out (with soap), and reuse. They love warm dinners on cold nights.
