Today is dog food day, the day I can food for my mastiff-lab mix. Croc’s weight peaked at 128 pounds. He was short of breath,wheezed and snored badly. He was also plagued with allergies and licked his itchy feet incessantly. The vet wanted his weight down to 90 pounds. I decided to start him on home canned dog food.
I make it of 1/3 lean meat, 1/3 vegetables, a mix of beans and whatever frozen or fresh veggies or fruit I have available, and 1/3 brown rice. I can enough for it least a week at a time. I could as easily freeze it. In three months, his weight has dropped to 100 pounds. His allergies have cleared up and he no longer has itchy feet. He runs again. His snoring and shortness of breath have resolved as well.
He is always so happy to see my canner come out, knowing he’ll have fresh food for dinner
His health is greatly improved since switching him to home canned food.

Good healthy food makes a difference even for dogs. I would never have thought of home-canned food for dogs. He looks happy and healthy.

He is sweet. I hope he enjoys a longer life. He’s ten now so he’s already past his expiration date.
