I make a similar type of dog food with many of the same ingredients. A couple other things I add: sweet potatoes, lentils, seaweed, green beans, sometimes oats in addition to the brown rice ... other things. I don't always make it exactly the same way. I mix up the veggies so that my dog gets different nutrients. I learned that he doesn't really like beets so stay away from those. Plus those make his food pink and his poop a scary red. I also sometimes add coconut or olive oil and/or nutritional yeast. I also feed my dog about the same amount of food that you do (he's an 85 pound pitt/rottweiler ... the vet says his weight is perfect and she says he's super healthy and looks much younger than the senior dog that he is). p.s. I started to feed him this way because he had GI problems ... constant diarrhea and farting. Tried all sorts of premium commercial foods ... they all made him sick. Now that is all cleared up. (and I have shared his food for dinner when I didn't feel like cooking for myself ... adding spices to mine like curry powder.)

Arthur Rat Great! But dogs don't need lost of veg, they should mostly have meat and rice in unessisary. Also don't add sweet potatoe everyday or it can be bad :) id say ever 4 days. Also I feed my dogs raw and its way better. U should try it WITH research tho :))(

Where did you purchase the solar cooker at? How much did one of those cost you, if you don't mind me asking? I started cooking for my dogs a little over a year ago after watching a netflix special about what types of ingredients commercial pets food contain ("Pet Fooled") and it made me sick to think I had been feeding my beloved dogs that junk, so I started preparing their food 2 or 3 times a week in a large crock pot and making enough to feed them throughout the week and whatever they didn't eat the first day I would put them in freezable ziplock bags and freeze them. To be honest I think it is actually cheaper for me to prepare their meals because before when I bought commercial dog food I would always buy the so called "good stuff" and for a single can of this stuff it would cost almost $4 a can and I have 4 dogs 2 pit bulls a schnauzer and a chihuahua poodle mix so they would go through at least 3-4 cans a day so approximately $16 and for the kibble I would spend $74 for a 18lb bag and they would eat a bag and a half a week so that was 6 bags a month at $438 and $480 a month give or take a little for the can dog food. So approximately I would spend $918 a month on dog food but I never noticed how much I was spending because I would never bought it all at once, I went twice a week to the pet store and spent about $100-115 twice a week on their food. I am utter disbelief now that I did the math and figured out how much $ I spent on my dogs THAT was more than my families grocery bill! If someone doesn't believe me then do the math yourself I would only buy the brand "Castor and Pollux"for my dogs! Anyways now I spend about $65 a week on my pets buying what ever meat is on sale at the local store mainly chicken leg quarters, chicken legs in family packs, ground turkey or beef, chicken gizzards or hearts, beef liver or tripe, or what ever might be on sale or what ever type of meat that has been in my freezer for too long for us to eat, then a big bag of brown rice, oatmeal or quinoa and I buy a big bag of frozen mixed veggies or I'll add sweet potatoes apples or what ever veggie isn't fresh enough for us to eat in my fridge (besides tomatoes or onions I know those aren't good for dogs) or I have growing in my garden and then after its fully cooked I add 2 large tablespoons of minced garlic 1 bunch of finley chopped parsley and a teaspoon of tumeric and mix it up and they eat it up like there is no tomorrow! I've also noticed they seem healthier now that I make their food . Also I've noticed I've been able to save a lot more $ in my savings account so hopefully sometime real soon I'll have enough money to purchase our own home instead of renting! lol! I don't want to imagine how much $ I spent over the last 8 yrs since I've had my pets I probably could owned a home a long time ago!
