Homemade DIY Dog Food

About a week ago, I shared some photos of Sumner getting some special food, in an effort to clear up some digestive issues he'd begun experiencing the previous weekend. In the meantime, there's been a visit to the vet and the recommendation was to mix in some additional fiber with these home-cooked meals and gradually reintroduce his regular dry dog food kibble as his poops showed improvement. I cannot believe I'm having to cook special food for the house pooch, but such is the fathomless love for that rascal.

Initially, it was just chicken and rice with a little broth. Then, I made more brown rice and green lentils, shredded carrots, and cooked up more chicken for a couple of days of meals. Last Thursday, I set up the crockpot and filled it with brown rice, diced sweet potato, diced carrots, dark red kidney beans, and frozen peas, topped with several chicken thighs. That cooked all day and once again he hoovered that stuff up out of his dog bowl at dinnertime.
