Hapi







Hapi is a Shih Tze mix, he is 3 1/2 years old. Hapi is actually my sis's dog, my mom & I have been taking care of Hapi on behalf of my sis who is still studying in UK. Hapi is a charming boy, everyone loves him. Each time if he did something bad when we wanted to scold him and if we look into his big innocent eyes, we will not scold him at the end. Hapi is treated like a Prince at home, he acted as he is the big brother among the other dogs, he tends to forget about his size as compare with the others. Hapi also like to eat, eat & eat, he had put on a lot of weight and it's really hard to make him lose weight. Hapi sleeps with my mom. The other dogs have their own house. When comes to grooming, we will have a headache, his slightly curl hair grow very fast, it's really not fun to groom Hapi, take a lot of time & patience.

Mike







Mike is also 4 years old, he is Tom's brother. Like Tom, Mike is also a Mongrel. Mike had lost some weight lately before that Mike is the largest as compare with the others. Mike is more attached to his human friends, he like to lay down or sit beside me when I do my sewing or watching TV. Like Tom, he also loves to eat especially biscuits, he will do anything you asked in order to get his biscuits. The bad thing about Mike is that when he starts barking, it will be non-stop until he is tired, his barks will trigger my headache...his bark is like an echo ringing inside your ear and travel to your heads...then the headache started...Mike is also very stubborn!

Liver

Tried making some home-made beef liver treats for my dogs but not successful cause I've baked it too long and it burns a bit, some of the smaller pieces are black like charcoal..ha..ha!

But the rest still o.k. It is crunchy and the smell of liver makes the dog go crazy! Dogs love livers - chicken liver or beef liver. Liver contains Vitamin A, but I read from a book that it says nit recommend to feed livers daily to dogs as excessive Vitamin A will become toxic to the dog.

Next time, when your dogs don't feel like eating, add some cooked liver to their meal, it will make them eat again.

Not recommend to feed dogs with pork liver as you have to be very sure that the pork liver is properly cooked or else will have problems with intestinal parasites/worms.

Home-cooked meal











Please see pictures of my dogs home-cooked meal - Chicken Breast with Liver & Soup + some dry food. This is yesterday's lunch & dinner.








Yummy Breakfast




Breakfast is a good start of the day!!


Please see pictures of the yummy Oatmeal breakfast cooked with chicken broth & green peas.

Home-cooked meal for your dog

I feed my dogs home-cooked meal & a little commercial dry food daily.

I use a slow cooker to do the cooking as I have to work. By the time I reach home during lunchtime, their meal will be cooked. I will put enough water in the slow cooker then add in the meat, when they are cooked, my dogs can enjoy their meal that contains meat, soup and usually I will add in some cooked rice into their bowl. After they finished everything, I will feed them some dry food.

My dogs home-cooked menu are:

Monday - Beef + carrot
Tuesday - Chicken
Wednesday - Chicken + Liver
Thursday - Chicken + Sweet potatoes
Friday - Chicken + Liver + green peas
Saturday - chicken
Sunday - Chicken + carrot

The leftover soup will be kept in the fridge to be used for cooking the Qatmeal porridge the next morning.

They are happy & healthy

Breakfast for your dog

I think dogs can benefit from breakfast too, it helps to keep dogs energetic and prevent dogs from vomitting yellowish/greenish bile in the morning which is usually caused by empty stomach.

I cooked breakfast for my dogs every morning, their breakfast menu are as follows:-

1) Qatmeal cooked with chicken stock (fresh home-made)
2)Qatmeal cooked with dog's milk
3) Qatmeal with Beef stock (fresh home-made)
4) Qatmeal with chicken liver
5) Hard boiled eggs
6) Steam egg with chicken stock

Every morning, Mike, Tom, Tiki, Jolly & Hapi are looking forward to their breakfast.

About storing of homemade dog biscuits

Homemade dog biscuits should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They should keep for at least 1 month.

For savoury biscuit that contains of meat, the biscuit should be kept in the refrigerator and best to consume within 2 weeks

Harmful to dogs

Food that are harmful to dogs are like chocolate, caffeine, yeast dough, grapes, raisins, onion, garlic etc. We need to be very careful when feeding our furry friends.

Another is Toad, have to be very careful with toads, my boy nearly died because of toad. Tom - my boy has this bad behaviour that he like to capture lizards, insects. One night when I bring him out to pee pee before bedtime, I did not noticed that there's a toad there and Tom captured the toad and bit it in his mouth. The toad spit some poison stuff and Tom quickly let go of the toad, instantly, bubbles coming out from his mouth, white foam coming out from his mouth, he is shivering, I am so worried, keep on crying thinking that I will lose him, I phoned the vet and was advised to hose water to clean Tom's mouth and feed him water with a bit of salt to induce him of vomiting. He vomitted and later feel better, we were given pills for Tom, luckily he survived. I am so afraid of toad when I see one, so I am very careful after this incident to not let him get near any toads.

Pictures of my 5 dogs

They love the biscuits very much, I have been baking the biscuits every weekend to feed my 5 dogs. I am also feeding a female dog by the name of Natasha which I kept in the office, Natasha also loves the biscuit. I feel so happy each time I see them enjoying eating the biscuit that I bake and knowing what ingredients I have used in the biscuit, I need not worry about things like preservatives etc.
