I dont want to feed my dog canned food from the supermarket, does anyone have any recipes to make inexpensive homemade dog food? This is to feed a bullmastiff so it needs to have lots of chunky meat/bones etc.

raw/barf feeders only please, unless you know what you’re talking about. Just as a snack, not a meal. She wants to chew on something and her teeth are bad, she can only handle raw bones for some reason

I don’t feed raw, but Bruiser gets beneficial snacks sometimes instead (or in addition to) his meals.
I give my Bruiser some sort of raw, meaty bone to keep his teeth clean on a bi-weekly basis. I usually give him knuckle bones, but this time, I could not find any, so I got some beef neck bones. Should I have gotten a marrow bone instead?
He also get carrots, bananas, and eggs (some white in a shell, because sometimes he likes eating the shell too). Are there other beneficial snacks I can give him?

How do I get a crab stock as rich as any other stock? Seems every time I make it, I don’t get the fat content out of crab shells, like you would out of pork, chicken, or beef bones.

I know that poultry bones aren’t good for dogs, but what about beef bones? I’ve read that you shouldn’t give bones to dogs because bone fragments can damage them inside, but I also know people who have given beef bones to their dogs without any problem. Have they just been lucky with their dogs? Does the size and age of the dog matter? (My dog is a miniature poodle puppy.) Does it matter whether the bones are cooked or raw? Or should I just stick to the chew toys that she has now?

I’ve heard you can do it if you toss peeled garlic cloves with olive oil and throw it in the crockpot for 1.5-2.5 hours. Is this safe? Has anyone heard of this?
I would do it in the oven but our oven is not working right now and we are trying to replace it
I DO NOT NOT HAVE AN OVEN.

I just bought some peeled garlic cloves from the grocery store, and I want chop them and then store them in the fridge so I can use it when I need it.
I have heard that you have to store it in oil for it to stay fresh , True?
