"I feed our dogs this mix along with available dry food, they enjoy this a lot. I also will add leftover shredded chicken just for an extra protein boost. Healthier than the dry / canned dog food available. You can also add leftover baby food jars of pure meat to flavour this. Prep time doesn't include cool down, wrapping nor freezing. We have 4 dogs from small to large, serving size depends on the size / breed of your dog."

I have been making this every Saturday Morning for 2 months now, granted I have had to triple it. My husband's 17 year old Collie had almost entirely stopped eating and was starting to loose weight. Then I discoverd this recipe. Now not only is she cleaning her bowl out she has gained her weight back and looks foreward to meal time. And the house smells good while its baking. Thank you so much for the recipe.

Our dog who is 16.5 years old and didn't want to eat anything in a tin or package just loves this recipe. She has put on 2 pounds in less than a month... for a 10 pound dog this is amazing! Thank you for the recipe. Barb

Tried this today and got an A+ from my Springer Spaniel.

LOve this recipe for our picky yorkie. I have made several variations, including brown rice (precooked) instead of potaoes and I find that cooking it in cupcake tins provides the perfect portion size, and I can freeze the doggie "cuploaves" easier. Thank You!

My elderly dog with medical problems who was refusing to eat any commercial dog food on his own just gobbles this up!! We've gone from hand/force feeding to cleaning the bowl and looking for more. I'll be trying this with chicken. Great recipe!
