What I really like about these recipes is that they are no-nonsense, good quick nutrition for your pups when you haven't had time to whip up a batch of deluxe stew. With appropriate stocked pantry, you can whip up an easy dinner for your dog in no time. Most of these are from veterinarians who cook for their dogs.
Also, couple things to keep in mind. Since these food are very high in water content compared to dry kibble, it will take more food to give your dog the appropriate calories and nourishment. The ratio for dogs is roughly 1/3 protein/meat, 1/3 grain, and 1/3 vegetables and fruit. These recipes may be too much or too little for your dog. You'll have to calculate your dogs calorie needs and calculate the recipes to see that you're meeting that goal.
