We had these for dinner. I had to wing it because I forgot to buy some of
the cheeses I had intended to. Basically cooked and cooled the large shell
pasta. Stuffed with a mixture of a large container of Ricotta, box of frozen
spinach, cooked and squeezed of water, the remains of a package of shredded
mozzarella, 4 string cheeses, cut into small pieces, couple of handfuls of
grated Parmesan, dried parsley, pepper, forgot salt but didn't need it.
Layer of marinara sauce, topped with the stuffed shells, smothered in more
sauce. Baked at 375, covered for 40 min. then at 400 uncovered for another
15 min. Topped with a couple of handfuls of shredded Parmesan.

I had some extra shells leftover so I cut them into small pieces and mixed
with a plain cheese sauce. Normally I would put a little mustard and onion
in there but it was for a dog so I didn't add these or any other seasonings.
Dog loved it! He also had baby carrots.

Meatballs on the side. Cheap Armour frozen ones. Made them plain so the dog
could have some. Was a really good meal!

Sure enough, Janet. (This is one instance where an ingredients list is
handy):

Ingredients: Meat Ingredients (Pork, Beef), Mechanically Separated
Chicken, Water, Textured Soy Flour, Bread Crumbs (Wheat Flour, Bleached
Wheat Flour, Leavening (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate),
Dextrose), Soy Protein Concentrate, Contains 2% or Less of Salt,
*Dehydrated Onion*, Spices, Sodium Phosphate,

Bad idea giving those to the dog even if the onion is a minute amount.

If she wants to feed someone elses' dog, great. But she doesn't have to
*cook* for it. Less time and effort to buy dog food. Better for the
dog, too.

The little bit of onion that would be in a couple meatballs would not be
enough to make dog sick. They have to eat more than .5% of their body
weight before it becomes a problem.

Miniscule amount or not, I wouldn't take the chance. It's not *her*
dog. It's nice she wants to help out. She could just as easily buy dog
food for it.

Cheap Armour frozen mystery meatballs ain't so great for humans.

The damage from the toxin in onion is cumulative in dogs and cats...
they don't eliminate it which is why it's toxic... all those small
amounts add up. The toxin attaches to and destroys their red blood
cells. The toxin is concentrated in dehy onion. No amount of onion
is safe, the size of the dog makes no difference.

I use armour meatballs when I make spaghetti.

It is cumulative, to be sure. As is garlic. At any rate, it's not her
dog. I have no idea why she thinks she needs to "cook" for it. Next
thing you know it will be eating beans and farting.

Agree, but there are simple additives you can use to the diet of a dog
with no harm. Pumpkin (orange USA meant type) is good and they love a
bit of Banana or apple. If constipated, a bit of raw lettuce or
romaine works well.

There are many people who 'cook for the dogs'. They use careful
recipes that are geared to the needs of the specific dog and any sort
of medical issue it may have. It's generally done in batches then
frozen and defrosted in daily amounts.

Preparing foods for dogs should be easy. You just throw some raw meat in their general direction. "Cooking" for them seems odd. Is it necessary to heat up their foods?

The dog is fine. My cat Maui ate onions from time to time. They're not good
for cats either. I used to walk her on a leash and she took bites of things
from the garden, including green onions.

The dog won't eat most dog food. I expect that the people they got him from
had not fed him properly. He is starting to eat the dog food a little bit
here and there but for now it would be a waste to just keep buying dog food.
They seem to be getting small amounts from people to see if he likes that
kind.

Not my dog and the owners know what he is eating. I told them that the mac
and cheese was for him. He had some baby carrots too. He would not eat those
prior but he did eat them last night. I gather that he had a rather meager
and restricted diet prior. I'm not buying him dog food. But when I am
cooking, I will use the ingredients and make a small portion, leaving some
things out when I can so the food is suitable for him.

Here's how I think about it. In the old days, there was no "dog" food.
People often fed the dogs and cats table scraps and the animals survived.
People still give their animals scraps often without thinking of the
ingredients. I used to babysit for some people who put their plates on the
floor after eating and let their dogs lick them clean. Another family bought
their dog a McDonald's burger for his birthday every year complete with
onion and ketchup. Tomatoes are also not good for dogs and ketchup likely
has onion in it as well. All of those dogs lived to the age of about 15-17.

He's a really cute dog and I like him. No, I don't have to cook for him but
I want to. Tonight I will be making a rice dish that will not be suitable
for him but I will set aside a little of the plain brown rice and cooked
ground beef. I will add some cooked vegetables to this. I also have some
cooked chicken breast if needed. If that doesn't get eaten soon, I will cut
it in small pieces and freeze it. I also have two sweet potatoes that I will
bake. Those are good for dogs.

He and Jazzy were playing last night. They are the same size and get along
well. Jetta missed out on the fun. Somehow she got shut in a bedroom.

I did try that. Dog didn't like the combination that I came up with. My
friend used to make chicken and brown rice for one of his dogs. I did the
same for mine until she would no longer eat it. Both had medical conditions
that required special diets. During the last few years of her life, the vet
told me to feed Misty anything she wanted. Once in a while that was an egg
but mostly it was steak. She was a small dog and didn't eat much.

They do taste good.

These used to be cheap at the military commissary. Not sure if they still
are. No commissary close enough to warrant my shopping there. Everyone liked
them, including my husband's Italian relatives.

Most recipes call for egg and I can't have that. But they were fine without
the egg.

I'm aware many people cook for *their* dogs, especially if they have
health issues. Careful recipes. Not cheap Armour frozen meatballs.

You're the dog expert, I'm not. I'll take your word for it.

But dogs in the wild don't last as long as house pets.

No, they have pretty rough lives.

I cook for mine, and freeze in portions. I always heat in the microwave
until warm before I feed her. She eats good, meat, veggies, and a bit for
rice occasionally, plus a TBS of cottage cheese and a tsp or so of pumpkin
daily. I buy her meat in the reduced meat section so she gets a fair
variety.
