MOM, IDONT FEEL WELL, can i have some slump, pleas

[bearlasmom]

when our dogs become unwell, have surgery or develop stomach ailments, one thing that never ever is turned down is slump! its a mixture i have that often changes ingredients depending on what is avail.

SLUMP.
3 large pcks chicken and beef broth
1 1/2 lbs chopped up chicken.
1 lb chicken legs/breast (with skin on and bone in)
1 1/2 lbs stewing beef,
1 lb chicken liver and giblet (1 of each)
2 celery sticks, 1 cup rice that has been over boiled, (boil the rice in double the water until quite soft then drain well.)
left over veggies or 2 cups of frozen veggies
(no onion)
i cook the chicken legs breast first in the broth for 1 hr, then i remove the legs, breast and remove the bones and skin, i chip the skin fine and put back into the broth. throw the bones out. i dont like to boil beef bones they are healthier when raw.
i add the rest of ingredients and will slow cook for a few hrs then cool and feed the dogs with it. if there is any left over i package it and freeze it.

sometimes i think the dogs get upset bellies just to get the slump!

its good and its apprently healthy from what our vets claim

I just use boiled and drained ground beef and rice. Minimal ingredients. I will change to chicken if I have a dog that doesn't do well on beef or use Potato instead of rice.

is potato okay? i have been told it is, then its not, it seems to be a mixed message. i trust you though

My vet recommended white fish and potato when one of my dogs was diagnosed with EPI.

Many vets are recommending duck and potato for various situations for their patients.

So yes, feeding a potato is okay.

Aparently im completely wrong about this, I always was told you shouldnt give chicken bones to a dog because the sharp pieces could get hurt their digestive track.

We give sarge the beef and rice too on occasion. he loves it. That boy could eat a bucket load of that stuff...lol

I didn't say that I fed the bones. You never never give cooked bones of any kind. I personally wouldn't give bones to a dog that was sick or recovering, just a simple diet, limited ingredients that are easy on the digestive system.

I never give chicken bones but my dogs (well one dog in particular Ghost) STEALS them. We've ordered pizza & wings before & everything is up on the counter (and they all know to stay off of the counter) towards the back & somehow little miss sneaky pants theives one & I catch her just as she's finished gobbling one up.
I know something is up when it gets too quiet around my house
I freaked out every time it happened, but she's fine

OH and on Animal Planet--the Show dogs mom & dads program--the lady who owns the Aussie's feeds her dogs raw chicken backs with the bones!!!

Lots of people on this forum feed raw chicken parts. I give my dogs raw turkey necks to help clean their teeth.

I wouldn't feed anything with a high fat content to a dog with an upset stomach. That means no dark meat chicken and only lean beef.

Potatoes are fine. Sweet potatoes are fine too. And a little pumpkin to firm things up!

This slump sounds like a recipe my family would eat along with the dog bhahahaha. Except they would want to add a lot of seasoning to theirs. Either way, sounds delicious and nutritious for the pup and myself!

Now I'm confused. I've always been told to boil marrow beef bones before giving them to my dog? I know when you buy them at pets mart or something they are already smoked.
