[Lola B Marie]

LOla is 3yrs and she is on a completely human diet except for a few milk bones.I have an easy recipe which is the bulk of her diet.
24 chicken thighs (skinless and boneless)
1medium bag of peeled baby carrots. I use organic but you can really use any kind.
1medium bag of fresh or frozen string beans.
3cloves of fresh garlic
Place all ingredients in pot and cover with chicken broth. Home made or from the health food store. You can also use water if you want to.
Bring to boil. Let boil about 10 min then reduce to simmer for 2hrs.
Remove all solids from broth. I use rubber gloves to mush it all together. To this, add one quart of well cooked brown rice and one cup cooked oatmeal.
Take remaining broth ,refrigerate and use liquid for next batch.

This is Lola's basic meal. For breakfast, I take about 2 cups of chicken mixture and add crushed hard boiled egg some plain yogurt and maybe a sprinkle of grated chedder cheese.
Dinner, 2 cups of chicken mix add, chopped up cooked liver, can of sardines or very lean lightly cooked chop meat (beef). I alternate the 1cup of toppings to balance her diet.

Treats at least once a day, 1 lg milk bone and fresh fruits. Melon, oranges , blue berries, apples cubed and sliced up.

I find this an easy diet because I can just make an extra portion of what ever we are having and put it on top of the chicken mix. Example, last tight we had flounder and shrimps. I kept out a slice of flounder and a few shrimps for Lola. Her portion is placed in foil and cooks right along with the seasoned food we are having. If it's lamb chops, hers just has no seasoning. etc. If we are eating out, she gets the sardines or canned salmon with the bones, in her food. I make this about once a week and freeze in 2 cup portions. If I have time, I double or triple the recipe and freeze for 2 weeks.

You might want to ask your vet for a powder that contains all the minerals and things that this diet is missing. I give one extra strength pet tab with calcium and that's all her vet said she needed.
I never feed kibble but that does not mean you shouldn't. Lola can't digest dog food.
If I was feeding high quality kibble, I would not put the brown rice or oatmeal into the mixture, I would just add cooked beef,chicken, fish, etc. plus veggies and still offer yogurt and fresh fruit.
She gets a fresh raw marrow bone every other day. If she weighs in to heavy at the vet, I scoop the marrow out. I try to keep her weight within a 5lb range.
