I have worked and held many positions in various media realms, since 1998 serving as Editor-in-Chief and now Associate Publisher for Security Sales & Integration, a trade publication serving the electronic security industry. Update: 11/18/18 - We are nearly approaching month 3 of this dog food.As a fervid lifelong music & film enthusiast / student, I grew up in and around the Los Angeles entertainment industry. Human grade for works just as well as pet grade per my vet. As a snack to keep teeth clean, we give raw carrots. We mixed with a 1/4 amount of their grain free holistic dog food for added crunch. I also entered the nutrients used in this recipe into a nutrient calculator online. Since being on this food her insulin levels have been 150 points lower. Clove sizes vary greatly! We put in about a teaspoon for the entire amount. An article I read said one clove for a large breed. As long as you do not overdue it on the garlic, it is fine. Well, it IS also toxic to people, yet we eat it. I read all the time where others say garlic is toxic to dogs. AND we have always given garlic in small quantities to our Labs. We also used only 3 cups Long Grain Brown Rice instead of white. Bone broth has a LOT of vitamins and minerals, including glucosamine and chondroitin. Instead of 6-1/2 cups water, we used 4 cups bone broth we made from the chickens. We included zucchini, yellow squash, celery, carrots, and broccoli. We put all fresh vegetables bought from the local road side stands of neighbors and the amish. I ended up mixing in about 1.5 cups cooked white rice. I put the servings for my dogs in a 2 separate bowls in the fridge to cool down faster. Transferred veggies to large bowl and mixed in the rice when finish. Used a slotted spoon to skim out the vegetables into my Ninja blender and pureed it. Mixed vegetables might contain corn, I removed the corn by hand.

Boiled frozen mixed vegetables (carrot, peas, green beans) in same pot, in remaining liquid/broth for about 10-12 minutes over medium-low heat. NOTE: I would have used brown rice and cooked longer in more liquid, but I ran out of brown rice. Cooked white rice (jasmine) over low heat for 20 minutes in a separate pot using liquid from boiled chicken (rice to liquid measured according to recipe).

Shred/Chop/Mince the chicken breasts in a chopper (I used a Ninja) and transfer to a large bowl-not the dog bowl…a bowl large enough to mix in the remaining cooked ingredients. I boiled 3 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) for about 30 minutes-covered the breasts with more than enough water. It's a good basic recipe as a bland diet for when our fur babies’ tummy's are upset. Rating 4 stars only because I wish the recipe had specified a little more.
