NOTE:  These diets are meant to be suggestions only and should be discussed with your veterinarian before use as some adjustments may be needed to suit your pet's particular needs.  In addition, canines have nutritional needs which may not be completely met in these diets alone.

CHICKEN 'ALL NAT BABY FOOD

1 package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
distilled or filtered water.

Put chicken in a large kettle, cover with water. Bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer for half an hour or until pieces are cooked all the way through (thicker pieces may require more time - cook *THOROUGHLY* - you can't burn it - just keep the water level over the chicken). Check regularly, and stir occasionally to keep chicken from sticking to bottom.

When done - let cool a bit, then place on breast and some of the cooking water into a blender, and blend smooth. Pour into bowl, repeat until all chicken is blended, then stir together.

Divide among small freezer-safe containers, and freeze. Defrost and use as needed!

A balanced vitamin-mineral supplement in a quantity sufficient to provide the daily requirement for each vitamin and trace mineral (buy from your vet) 

Braise the meat, retaining fat. Dice or grind liver and egg. Combine all ingredients and mix well. This mixture is somewhat dry and the palatability may be improved by adding some water(not milk).
