Thaks Joe.. I use mine all the time.. for my food & pup’s food which I make.
Love to do soups year round.. I am a vegetarian so the only meat I cook is for Josy/Toby.. but the frangrances of the onions,garlic, spices when the crock pot is cooking.. well, just wonderful.
The smells of the meats for dog, make me sick! LOL
DollyCali, I’m a vegetarian myself and cook food for my cats. I use the vegecat supplement on this site:
And they have ones for dogs as well. It’s actually easier for dogs to be healthy vegetarians since they are techincally omnivores, whereas cats are straight carnivores. The coyote and fox scat around here often has plant materials in it, grape and blackberry seeds, etc; whereas the cougar and other cat scat (lynx? bobcats?) is strictly animal stuff like fur.
I checked with the vet and he said my cats were well-nourished and healthy and the diet with the supplement was good.
I’ve used the vegecat stuff for quite a few years and their basic diet is lentils and rice although I do often cook garbanzos which they love, plus they eat all kinds of leftovers that are good for them and they love many vegetables. I add in addition to the vegecat powder, yeast, kelp, oil, a bit of mineral salt (aka “Real Salt”), often parsely. They also catch rodents and lizards here and there so get additional amino acids, but not much in winter.
Cats use 1 t. of vegecat a day, I haven’t looked into the vegedog but since dogs vary in size so much I’m sure good directions are there.
I’ve made cat kibble too, they really loved it.
You’re eyes are on the front of your head and you have some pointy teeth for a reason.... :)
