For immediately’s put up, I needed to share Maisey’s newest obsession with you: do-it-yourself pet food. This easy recipe is PACKED with vitamins and he or she goes loopy with it.
(See the loopy eyes?? She’s INTO IT.)
TBH, I at all times felt just a little dangerous giving her packaged pet food as a result of this creature LOVES recent meals. She’s continuously begging for scraps of broccoli and bell pepper (her two faves), has stolen a whole brisket off the counter (and ate it on our new white sofa..), a complete rooster breast (bones and all, and fortunately didn’t get sick), in addition to ramen and curry. Figuring out her taste profile, I might pour her kibble into her bowl and really feel just a little dangerous for the gourmand gal. To spice issues up, we might put Recent Pet on high from Entire Meals (SO costly and nonetheless felt like a block of packaged meat), however I knew there needed to be a greater manner.
I began researching a ton, and located a recipe on-line that impressed me to lastly make our personal.
I’m excited to share the entire particulars with you! It’s cheaper than Recent Pet, with licensed natural, farm recent, and wild-caught components, and I like that I do know the whole lot that went into it. No preservatives or further stuff.
