Homestyle Dog Food
From Fudgie
Hi,
I am making my own pet food for my 5 yr old Bichon --her name is Nikita--the love of my life!
I boil a chicken---debone it and cut the meat and skin in small pieces in the broth left I cook about 2 cups of rice.
Then in large bowl I add the following:
2 cans green beans
2 cans of cooked carrots
1 can of peas (I have thought about adding a can of spinach---but haven't yet)
Chop all the veggies in small pieces
Add chicken, rice and when completely cool
I put in small freezer bags (about 3/4 cup)per bag. This makes enough food for about 2 weeks or moreI put in the freezer and each evening before going to bed I take out one pkg and put in fridge to thaw for the next day.
She loves it and I have noticed she doesn't have the dry skin itching like she use to with dry kibble.I give her raw baby carrots for treats and she also gets a few Wheat Chex's for treats.It is really not a lot of work and its sure worth it to have piece of mind----hope this helps.

Stained Fur - Iron Issue
Tory asks:
Hi, I am a new member. It's nice to see so many Bichon lovers! My Bichon, Jessie, is 7 years old. We changed her food about 3 months ago, and have now noticed that she is getting brownish hair under her mouth, her tear stains are darker and also around her anal area.
The vet said he thought she might be getting too much iron, but we don't know.
Does anyone have this problem?
Thank you!

Hi Tory and Welcome.
Yes I do know about these brown spots and stains and they do have something to do with iron, etc. that is in the food. For more info. on this go to http://www.Dr.Weil.com and click on Discussions and go to Holistic Pet Care....lots of talk about it there too!
Also make sure your Bichon only gets filtered water....this helps.
Good Luck.

Yes I am getting those problems with Keisha.
She also has brown hair or I thought it was because she was a messy eater.
Also she was in heat but she seems too have dark hair around where she pees from.
How long are dogs usually in heat for? Maybe her urine is too strong i have no clue.
I am still feeding here puppy food as she is only 10 1/2 months.
