When our dogs all got sick after they were boarded while we were on vacation, I made their food for about a month. The vet had me start with white rice and chicken broth (they all had vomiting and dirrhea). Then I added baby food, chicken and veal. Gradually moving to rice with chicken broth and chopped chicken. Then I started adding some veggies. They all got well and thrived on the food along with good veteranary care. Now, a couple of months later, I'm still feeding our oldest (16 year old) rice and chicken broth with some of her kibble mixed in. The others are back on kibble with a little rice & broth to make it a little more appealing. When I run out of kibble and need to feed them, I just use the rice, broth and chicken mixture again.

I'm thinking of going to just making my own again though. All three really thrived on the homemade food and once I got used to making it, it was no problem at all. I could not believe how much energy our older dog has now compared to before all this happened. I do like knowing what they are eating instead of worrying what is in the commercially produced food.

Mandy thank you for your thoughts. I may just get inspired and go back to cooking.
