Dogs love the smell of this mix with a hint of cinnamon and the pumpkin aromas.
When adding spices* please be sure to read what NOT to feed a dog, such as onion..
No salt, no sugars (honey is okay), and no bones in homemade food.

I haven't fed my dog store-bought canned food for over 4 years since creating my own mess.  She gets 1/2 pint baggie in the a.m., an egg and 1/2 cup of 21% protein kibble, and the other 1/2 in the evening added to any meat we eat for dinner.  No leftovers, just meat.  It does look like a mess.  But use up leftover deer and fish meat and your doggie will slick it all up and be healthy!!
