The old mans dogs were renowned for how solid & healthy & long lived they were & their coats were always shining

    l have always fed mine the same ,the missus uses any of the veggie plot/larder stuff that is getting long in the tooth (so carrot,pea,beans etc )& cooks up 10ltr pot of it & freeze in meal size portions for our 4 mutts , simply reuse the grocery store veggy bags & half fill ,take out of freezer & place in hot water in sink & then pour out in doggy portions ,all simple no mess at all, dogs like the taste of rabbit so much they eat all the rabbit flavored veggies & cereals as well, although down here they get the off cuts of our home kills not the Wallaby, & have never fed them any canned shit. Around half a bag feeds all 4 when poured over a cup of working dog dry food.
    That's a good sounding recipe, almost had me salivating! I'll have to try this on him thanks

    @Pest Yeh it is quick & easy & very good for them ,people always rave about even our farm dog coats & muscle condition ,the daughter is a Vet & recommends it to her clients , you do not have to worry about peeling veg's etc as a lot of the nutrients are in the skins & it gives a solid texture for them to bite in to & just roughly chop in to decent bite size pieces ,we add a couple of cups of brown rice as it is very good for their intestines .I just quickly bone out 4-6 rabbit back quarters & cut into good solid bite size bits & it all goes into the slow cooker for a few hours while you do other shit, literally set & forget .

    I always make sure my Visla & Lab have this before heading off for a hunt as it keeps them going & full of energy, also really good when poured over dried food if the numb nuts are prone to leaving a handful in the bowl each time to attract flies & piss you off,the "gravy" from it soaks into the dried food & they snaffle up every last bit. They go crazy every time they see the bags come out of the freezer & it keeps everything from getting messy .
