This is JMO...Whelp I screwed up a bit.
There were chicken breasts for $1.69/ lb, so I bought a pack (4lbs). I decided to do the partial cook thing, and I was feeling incredibly optimistic, so I stuck all 4 breasts in the oven. Well, I've never made chicken before besides boiling some for my dog when he has tummy troubles. I nearly fully cooked the chicken! I didn't want to waste it so I figured since I know she likes cooked chicken, I'll still use it and this way I can tell if she likes the Alnutrin or not. I followed the Alnutrin directions with the sample pack, water, 1 lb of chicken, and chicken liver. My optimism had been worn down a bit by the overcooking, but it wasn't dead yet. I presented her with a teaspoon of the mix. She wouldn't even sniff it. Ok, too much too soon. I took that away and mixed a tiny bit with her canned food at dinner time. Nope. Nope nope nope. She is not impressed. She won't even try it. Sigh. I wish I knew which part she didn't like. Is it the Alnutrin? EzComplete is expensive! Is it the raw liver? Would she prefer homemade cooked? What to do, what to do...
when adding cooked or raw foods (short term) to a canned diet, I would scrap the liver and scrap the alnutrin and including more canned than cooked/raw (again, assuming this is a short term way of feeding.)
When you go full cooked/raw, yes, include alnutrin or whatever mix.
Can you freeze the recipe and offer it later?
