Stew

Made a stew that was a first for me yesterday, Organ meat stew. Sounds yummy doesn't it? Not. But I have to say the dogs really enjoyed it. It consists of liver, kidney, cheeks, tongue etc. The smell was not something I was accustom to, never cooked up that much organ meat before. The other ingredients in the stew, other than the meat was blueberries, green beans (a big favorite), apple and quinoa.

There is alot of talk about feeding too much liver causing liver toxicity and although liver is high in vit a you would have to feed alot of it over a long period of time to cause this. I do not think your dogs diet should consist of just liver obviously but organ meat is a very good source of nutrients for our dogs and they should eat it. A small amount in their food daily or a couple of organ meals each week is a great idea. Nutritional facts on organ meat.

It is important not to feed too much organ meat, that's why I like this blend of meat as it has more than just organ meat in it. Also it will be frozen in small amounts today and added to other foods and dog food when needed. It is a big hit and even Mr. Luke ate it which he has not been doing lately. His eating has gotten worse and worse and I at the point of stirring up the stew yesterday I told he that he better eat it or I'm not feeding him anymore, just kidding of course.
