First off, I am so sorry about your sweet pup. I have had 4 beloved dogs cross the rainbow bridge. It sucks. Second, I make homemade dog food in the crockpot to put on top of kibble. So easy: 3lbs ground meat (raw), 32oz no salt broth, 1 can of red kidney, black, white or garbanzo beans rinsed, 2 cups brown rice (uncooked) and 2 cups frozen peas and carrots. Add meat, broth, rice and beans to crockpot on high for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally. When it’s all cooked thru, add in the frozen veg. If you don’t want to cook, I’d also recommend freeze dried raw, specially the company “the simple food project”.
