I thought little about doing the same for my fur babies &#8211; my dogs! The idea of making home-made\u00a0food for them came when they started to go a bit funny after a (rather long) period of having canned wet food from the supermarkets. It was great initially &#8211; the tin cans were always on special and it was convenient having everything pre-packaged. Then one of my pooches gained a lot of weight and started to sniff its nose at the food. Then the\u00a0other would make the most smelliest of poos! At this point, I decided to up the ante when it came to their food and one of the decisions I made was\u00a0to ditch the canned food.<\/p>\n<p>Ruff Risotto was something I created based on what my pooches liked to eat and what was safe for them.\u00a0This meal is\u00a0not a complete substitute for dog food; it is something I give my dogs to supplement their main\u00a0source of food, being\u00a0dog biscuits, which is formulated and has the\u00a0nutrients they truly need. I have not put a serving size to this recipe as it will depend on various factors such as the size and appetite of your fur baby, as well as how much of this you wish to give them.<\/p>\n<p>No two pets are the same so while this recipe works for my pets and maybe some others, it may not necessarily work for yours. Before you commence\u00a0serving this to your precious fur babies, please take the time to read the recipe and see if it is suitable to them. If you are unsure, please refer to your pet&#8217;s vet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.lalaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/x.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1136\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1136\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mylalalife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/x-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"x\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prep and Cooking Time <\/strong> &#8211; 50 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\u2013 1 garlic clove* (optional &#8211; refer to Notes and Variations)<\/div>\n<div>\u2013 30g oil of choice (I often use unrefined coconut oil or EVOO)<\/div>\n<div>\u2013 300g brown rice<\/div>\n<div>\u2013 1L + 50g water<\/div>\n<div>\u2013 1 Tablespoon stock concentrate of choice (or 1 stock cube)<\/div>\n<div>\u2013 350g snap frozen garden vegetables (the peas, corn and carrot mixture)<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chop garlic in TM bowl <strong>3 sec \/ speed 7<\/strong>.
