Have been exhausted recently from my new job therefore did not have time at all to update my blog recently. Please try out the following recipe, your furry friends will love it.

800g Minced Chicken
200g cooked porridge
2 eggs
4 cooked (hard-boiled) eggs

Preheat oven to 200 degree celsius

In a big bowl, add in cooked porridge, minced chicken, eggs and mixed well

Put half of the above in a square baking tin and put sliced hard-boiled eggs on top and then pour the remaining mixture on top

Put in to Oven and baked for 30 minutes or insert a toothpick in the centre and when the toothpick come out clean then the meatloaf is cooked.

Protein

Protein are the most critical componet of food for our canine friends. Dogs need proteins to produce hairs, nails, tendons, cartilage and all the connective tissues that support the rest of the tissues and organs in the body so adequate proteins is important for dog's growth and proper development, for muscle development and strength, for a functioning immune system, for the production of functioning hormones, for the proper volume of blood, for injury repair and prevention and much much more.

Protein is the most important of all the nutrients in dogs food.

Dogs can get proteins from both animal and plant resources. Example of complete protein resources that come from animals are eggs, lean meat.

Dogs major source of proteins should be animal products not grains. Don't buy a dog food that contains soyabean meal, soy flour or corn gluten meal. Dogs that have sufficient enzymes to digest them.

Chicken & Rice Biscuit

Last Sunday, I tried out a new dog biscuit recipe...Chicken & Rice Biscuit. Ingredients are Minced chicken, chicken broth, canola oil, whole wheat flour.

Compared with the Beef Barley biscuit that I previously baked, I think the Chicken & Rice biscuit smell much more better than the Beef Barley biscuit. Probably because I don't eat beef that's why I find the Beef Barley biscuit not as good as the Chicken & Rice biscuit.

I will be trying out a mixed veggie biscuit later.

Beef

A friend who has a Shih Tzu dog told me that she never feed her dog with beef as according to her that her dog suffer from skin itchiness (skin allergy) when consuming beef as part of her meal. If beef was given to her dog, the skin problems will occur again. She advise me not to feed my dogs with beef...I am wondering if anyone out there facing the same problems.

I ony feed my dogs with stewed beef once a week.

Healthy Dog Biscuit

My sister just got back from UK and bought me a pack of cookie cutter with various shapes. So decided to bake some Healthy dog biscuits on Christmas day for my dogs.

I like the shape of the cookie cutter....so cute!

Beef Barley Biscuit

Finished baking Beef Barley Biscuit....I think it's quite difficult to roll the dough as the barley keep on falling out...but lucklily the finished products are successful. Have to wait for the feedback from other doggies to see if they like this biscuit.

As usual, Hapi, Jolly, Mike & Tom love the biscuit...except Tiki who is a picky eater, all newly introduced biscuit for Tiki, he will needs time to like the biscuit...fussy!
