Why Boxer dog's die young

My first post of 2011!
I made Chase a couple of mixtures last night. I swear he knew it was for him when I was cooking.lol. I used chicken in one and 90 lean ground beef in the other. Each recipe was 4 cups meat, 4 cups rice and 2cup carrot/celery puree. Mix well and serve in 2 cup servings, fridge the rest for the week. Once its mixed the carrot mix color makes it look like seasoning salt. Well he had the beef for dinner and the chicken for breakfast. Clean plate club!=P~
I love to cook so the extra time is not a factor. If you think about wouldn't want to spend the extra time on someone you love.:clock: This was just like making a big pot of chicken stock for me.
I have been giving him chicken samples since I got him last Thursday and notice a defference when he was eating the bag food. He has a couple of small red/pink splotches that seem to get redder with the bag food. Plus his stool was runny when I got him and it is back to how it should be.
I was at the local Sams club pricing dog food and looking at labels. Cheapest 40lb bag was $19 and had mostly grain fillers or worse for the first 5 ingredients. They had one with lamb as the first ingredient for $35 for a 40lb bag. But after lamb it was all the grain fillers from there.:angry7:
I did find this bag of treats(which most are full of fillers) that I would like to share. Its chicken jerkey for dogs. I have tasted and it has no seasoning so its worse then chewing leather. If you buy in bulk the price isn't to bad.
