So simple - and you don't cook everyday! I boil a whole chicken and pick the meat off and just use some for each meal - he wouldn't get the whole chicken at once. LOL A whole chicken usually lasts these 2 for a week, so I keep half out and put the other half in the freezer so it doesn't have a chance to spoil. Throw some potatoes in a pot and boil them (and you don't even need to peel them), and refrigerate when done. Dice them up as needed and give him however much you figure he will eat with the chicken - and I usually cook enough for a week at a time with those too. And of course you know how to open a can of veggies - right??? Guaranteed to be cheaper than commercial dog food too. Oh, and if you do this, be sure to give a multi vitamin and mineral supplement. You can boil hamburg or other meats too. I buy my meats at Sam's, so it's very reasonable to cook for them when getting meats there.
