Poochie Meat Cakes
My dogs absolutely love this meat cake! I have four dogs, ranging from 5 to 17 years old (terriers of all sizes). After the big dog food scare, I didn't want to take chances, so I tried to figure out a healthy recipe for them. I wanted something with all the nutrients and fat they need, and this is what I came up with. The nice thing about this recipe is that it can be eaten by humans as well.
