We always add our homemade porridge to our dog food..AND catfood, too!

It really gives them some nice, warm food for winter. Although they get it all year.

The recipe:

A large potful of chicken broth (from REAL chicken, not a jar)

2 cups of long grain (not instant) rice...then boil until rice is mushy.

Then add some cornmeal, whole wheat flour and mush around either with a stick blender or a whisk until it's nice and porridge-looking.

Then add a tablespoon of garlic powder(wards off ticks and excellent for their heart). Plus, adds flavor.

WALLAH! Healthy, nutritional doggie porridge. All of ours salivate when they know it's din-din time!
