Poochie Meat Cakes Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2013
I have not tried this recipe, but I have been making my cockerspaniel food like this for years. I have never used eggs to hold it together. I use either ground turkey or beef or chicken, and mix rice, and any vegetables I have; brocolli, cauflower, carrots, peas, green beens usually. I cook my rice in chicken broth, mix all of the above together and weigh it out to a serving, and freeze in individual freezer bags. He actually likes the chicken or turkey better than the ground beef. I like the idea of the eggs, and either the 9x13 pan or muffin tins, and I will try it. Thanks.

My dog is crazy about them, however I thought they took along time to make, and the meat sticks to the pan.

I changed the potatoes to sweet potatoes, dropped the carrots, used spinach instead and added a couple of apples. I just wanted a bit more nutrition. I also grind egg shells to add calcium, a much needed nutrient for dogs. I have added berries, squash, beans , millet, and flax seed for substitutes as well. You can use what ever a person is comfortable with as long as it is dog friendly! I have even cut back on the hamburger and added tofu! But the overall concept is excellent! I also found it easier to make into patties and use cookie sheets.

We live on a farm and always have an abundance of ground meat! I made these exactly as the recipe stated, and both of the dogs absolutely loved them! I'm also going to try in replacing the white potatoes with sweet potatoes, since the dog food I'm presently buying has them in it and both dogs like it. THANKS for a great recipe!

Ok so I didn't have this much ground beef and my dogs are spoiled so I used what I had in the freezer which was sausage n beef cubes. I cut the cubes up in small pieces and made the recipe as called for. My very spoiled beagles loved it. The only other change I made was I don't have this many muffin tins so I used a bread pan and made it like a meatloaf. I will cut off a slab for each of the dogs. Dogs went nuts for it. Not sure if they will ever go back to dog food.

I didn't try them myself, but my dogs certainly liked these. I didn't have celery, so I added extra carrot and potato. I wasn't certain what was meant by "large" muffin tins. I have one six-compartment tin that makes really BIG muffins, but that seemed too large. I only made 1/3 of the recipe since I had just under 2 lbs of beef to use. That amount of mixture made 24 meat cakes.

Started making dog treats a few months ago when we took in another foster dog. Was hesitant over this recipe as I can't cook decent rice for my own family let alone the dogs. But this recipe is so easy to make the all four dogs (two mine, two fostered) love them. Well worth the effort.

My dog absolutely loves these. She knows as soon as I pull out the muffin tins, that I will be making her favorite food. I make half the recipe and that produces 18 large muffins. I freeze in 2's and give her 1 /day. Her other feedings consist of her dry food. I only defrost 2 in the frig at a time, to keep them really fresh. Takes about a day to defrost. Great recipe...thanks.

Wonderful and easy to make. Very easy to alter and adjust. I use whatever meat is on sale and switch up the veggies with each batch. My cats were jealous so I altered it again to have more meat and added cat supplements and make theirs in mini muffin pans for a nice healthy addition to their kibble. A word- if you're going to switch out ingredients make sure you aren't using anything dangerous to pets. My dogs digestive system seems much better these days, and her weight and coat are great too!
