Like all pet owners, the recent recall of dog and cat food really had us scared. Lucky for our three doxies, their favorite food (Ceasers) was not on the list of recalled dog food. (More...)

Like all pet owners, the recent recall of dog and cat food really had us scared. Lucky for our three doxies, their favorite food (Ceasers) was not on the list of recalled dog food.

Over the past months we’ve been trying to “wiener our dogs” off the can food by cooking for them. As it turns out, the cost of preparing and cooking for your dogs is less expensive per ounce than store bought dog food. I’m sure it’s by far fresher and healthier than what comes in those cans.

To reduce the cost, we look for the “Manager Specials” where the date is about to expire. Usually, we’ll pick up 1.5 lb of Jenny-O ground turkey for $1.99 at Ralphs on Saturday and cook it up for our Dachshunds that afternoon.
It will feed them for two meals, three if we add rice.
