Yes, their stomachs have to adjust to real food. My dogs all threw up when I switched them too. Very normal.

Put please don't waste good food on cats....cause cats suck.

Here they are. As you can see, Leafy veggies, carrots, ginger root, garlic,berries eggs,yogurt.vinegar and molasses. Damn dogs eat healthier than us humans.



Monster food processor. We burned up our Harry Homeowner model doing this shit. Basically 3 eggs, yogurt, and molasses per run. We did 4 runs.



Never said it looked good.



DAMN-it looks like a hideous experiment. Now you see why we call it glop.But the dogs love it.



Ready for freezing. About 2 months worth. Total cost- $20



Tonight's dinner. Beef ribs,chicken hearts and livers, and glop.

The glop looks good, I will have to make some glop for Puggy. Do you leave one glop container in the fridge and just dole it out?

WOW Vator... that looks awesome.

Uma & I doing more research tonight....

Don't listen to the vets.
Don't feed them pork.
Don't cook anything but maybe vegs.
Cold turkey switching is best
no vegs for first few weeks, just meat.
slightly browned hamburger is good to help switch
I can buy used fridge/freezers locally on craiglists all day long.

Oh and according to the math of 3% of the dogs body weight (150#) he needs about 4lbs of food a day!!!!!!!!

Really?!?!?

Hey Gas, you may want to lay off the grain and starch like potatoes (its found in a lot of kibble) until the yeast clears up and give your dog some yogurt. I was fostering a yeast filled pug and got her on a no grain kibble and it she was getting so much better (until she got adopted).

Yes. We have a small scale to weigh portions.

He's on a nature's recipe adult lamb & rice.

I do see they offer a grain free version.

What type of yogurt did you use?

Great Value by Walmart I just get plain yogurt.

For kibbles i use Wellness Core. Puggy and my fosters does well on it and my stray cat is on a grain free diet too. I have to be better with preparing Puggy's diet, but this year has been rough with school. She was getting cooked lean turkey, brown rice and veggies at night and during the day she was getting mashed yams, pumpkin, spinach and flaxseed. The vet said she looks great either way but esp now that she is getting older I really want to get her away from an all kibble diet.

The only thing is that she inhales her food and she doesn't really chew so half her veggies come back out whole. I am going to try some glop!

here is something you can skim: (not sure how accurate it is, but I'm sure there is some truth to it)
