I’m keeping Ollie healthy and fit with this easy homemade recipe. Mixed with kibble, it gives him all the nutrients he needs. It’s cheaper than Nom Nom, and I suspect healthier. The recipe makes 11 half pound servings. I store servings in small sealable containers, and give him ½ container per day.
