Chapter 12

[No need to post a missing dog notice, its owner is here! I am its owner! ]

[Go away, go away, do you know how to raise a dog? Let me raise it!]

The barrage of comments sparked a heated discussion about the ownership of this German Shepherd.

Wen Youning tapped the German Shepherd's wet nose, smiled at the dog's blank gaze and said, "You are very popular."

The German Shepherd licked her fingertips, its tail hanging down and wagging, "Woof!"

"Let's go. Let's go home and make something delicious." Wen Youning hugged the German Shepherd and quickened her pace to go home.

It will heat up in a while.

Holding such a big furry creature in her arms, it felt like she was covered with a thick quilt when the sun shone on her. If it was close to noon, Wen Youning felt like she was going to melt from the heat.

---

"Meow……"

The sound of the door opening and the kitten's meowing inside the door sounded almost simultaneously.

Wen Youning at the door pushed the foam box and cage aside. The things she bought from the market arrived home before her. She thought she would not get the things until the afternoon, but she did not expect it to arrive so much earlier than expected.

Still holding the German Shepherd in his arms, Wen Youning had no time to move things, so he opened the door first. The little tabby had already started scratching at the door from inside, "Are you awake?"

Wen Youning walked in sideways. When she went out, Xiao Lihua was still sleeping. She added cat food and canned food, and now the bowl was empty.

The little tabby stretched lazily, with his tail raised high. He wanted to pounce on the door when it opened, but he was stunned as soon as he took a step. "Meow?"

"New friend." Wen Youning held the German Shepherd's paw and shook it. "It's injured. It will stay at home for a while. You two should get along well with it."

Even if the online dog-finding notice works and the German Shepherd's owner comes looking for the dog tomorrow, Wen Youning cannot let the other party take the German Shepherd away.

Acupuncture and daily massage should not be interrupted until the German Shepherd can stand up completely.

The little tabby's tail, which had been standing high, dropped down, and the tip of the tail swayed impatiently.

Tabby cats are territorial, and some stray tabby cats will even expel cats that enter their "territory."

However, the little tabby cat has just arrived in our family. If you count carefully, it is only one or two days older than the German Shepherd. The little tabby cat has not started to mark its territory yet, so there will not be any major conflicts for the time being.

If you have a tabby cat for a long time and then bring a German Shepherd home, the tabby cat's claws will be on the German Shepherd's face the moment you open the door.

Now the little tabby is just looking at it curiously.

"You guys play, I'll go pack up the things I bought." Wen Youning put the German Shepherd on the sofa, and the little tabby jumped onto the armrest of the sofa. She took the opportunity to rub the kitten twice, "I'll make you delicious food tonight."

"Meow……"

The mobile phone stand was placed on the table, and the camera was facing the two furry animals on the sofa.

Wen Youning found a place to put the cat litter box and dog cage. The dog cage was the one built by the stall owner at the vegetable market. The owner of the pet shop also helped to clean it. She stuffed a cushion inside and then put a urine pad on the cushion.

After taking care of these small matters, Wen Youning took apart the meat one by one and put it into the water. "The next step is to mash all the meat into meat paste. If you make it at home, you can adjust the proportion of each type of meat according to the taste of your pet at home."

"I need to use almost all the internal organs in this amount. This thing is a natural attractant. It's just that the effect is not obvious for some small animals." Wen Youning said as he took the meat out of the water.

It is best to soak the meat you eat in blood water for a longer time. However, if the meat is fed to small animals, it will lose its taste if it is soaked in blood water too much, and they will not like to eat it.

[Don't you add some trace elements? I saw in the tutorial that a lot of trace elements are ground into powder and put in. 】

[It's OK to eat it alone. I bought a lot and added two pieces when feeding. ]

[Those vitamin tablets are so expensive, especially the ones for pets, which cost hundreds of dollars a bottle.]

Wen Youning cut the meat into pieces of appropriate sizes and put them into the meat grinder. Household meat grinders are relatively small and cannot hold too much meat at one time.

She looked up and saw the comment, saying, "Specially for pets? You don't have to buy expensive vitamins. The ones at the bottom of the pharmacy counter that cost one or two dollars a bottle are enough."

Whether it is for human use or for pets, vitamins are vitamins, and it is impossible to change the structure of vitamins for pets.

Wen Youning has some knowledge about this. In fact, there is no such thing as vitamins specifically for pets. "Special vitamins for pets are just reduced amounts. It's the same if you buy vitamins and break them yourself."

【？ ？ ？】

[What about the pet professional advanced vitamins that I spent hundreds of dollars on? ]

【You are rich. 】

The sound of the meat grinder starting up was so loud that it made the dining table vibrate.

The minced meat, offal and vegetables were mixed together, filling up a large bowl.

I don't know when the little tabby cat came to the dining table and stretched his neck to sniff the meat paste in the bowl.

"Hungry?"

“Meow!”

Wen Youning took off her gloves and touched its belly, which was round and plump. "If you eat any more, your stomach will explode. Go for a run. I'll give you food tonight, okay?"

"Meow..." The little tabby dog ​​scratched the edge of the iron basin with its front paws, its ears drooped, and even its drooping beard revealed a look of loss.

"A little bit, meow..."

"Can,"

"Woo--" The elongated ending sound sounded like she was acting coquettishly. The little tabby girl tilted her head and rubbed it against the back of Wen Youning's hand.

"Okay, just a little bit." Wen Youning took out some on a small plate and also filled a plate for the German Shepherd.

[No, that's too unprincipled. Send the kitten over here and I'll teach you how to refuse.]

[I can hear your calculations through the Internet. ]

[This little look really melts me, okay? ! Who can resist giving it to me? ]

Little Lihua was eating this plate on the table. Wen Youning turned around and his eyes fell on the empty sofa, "Woof!"

The barking sound was very close. She lowered her head and found that the German Shepherd was at her feet without her knowing.

Although its lower body is still unable to move, it can move forward relying only on its front paws, and its speed is not slow.

Wen Youning curled her eyes and said, "This one is yours."

"Woof!"

'like……'

The animal meal is not even ready yet, but its taste has already conquered the two furry cats at home.

Wen Youning straightened her apron. "Then cut it into suitable sizes and dry it. If you don't have a dryer at home, you can use a steamer, oven or air fryer. No matter what it is, cut it into the size you like after cooking it and store it in a vacuum. Chop it up every time you eat it. If necessary, you can mix some trace elements that your pet needs in this step. You can check it and ask the local veterinarian to make adjustments for details."

Wen Youning said: "If it is a larger dog, like a German Shepherd, you can just feed it a whole piece. It can also help to grind teeth. But the shelf life is not as long as the drying time."

Homemade products do not contain preservatives or technology, so their shelf life is limited.

However... with the appetite of a large dog, plus the small tabby dog, all of this can be eaten in more than half a month.

[The cost of making it yourself is too high, it must be several thousand yuan. There are many online that sell for only six or seven yuan per pound. How can you make money? ]

[The meat used is different, maybe some scraps are used. ]

"Six or seven yuan worth of cat and dog food?" Wen Youning thought for a moment and said, "Those don't use leftovers. Leftovers also have costs."

"In fact, many cheap food is not recommended for pets at home. Use puffed soybeans to increase the protein content, puffed corn flour to increase plasticity, and add crude fiber. Once pigments and attractants with the smell of chicken, duck, and fish are added, you will want to take a bite. Add some Guanyin soil to prevent your pet from having diarrhea after eating it, and finally add some antioxidants. After being stored for three to five years, it will still look like it was just shipped out of the factory."

Wen Youning has seen a lot of tricks in this industry. "This kind of food is crunchy and has a meaty flavor. The more cats and dogs eat it, the thinner they become. These ingredients are very cheap, the most expensive is a few yuan per pound. If I sell it to you for eight yuan, I can still make six or seven yuan."

"By the way, for this kind of food, the ingredient list usually uses some word games. Some irregular companies simply don't bother with these and directly falsify the ingredient list."

【6……】

[I was so scared that I threw the cheap food at home into the trash can at night. ]

【What about cheaper ones? 】

"If it's cheaper... it's just a mixture of pure Guanyin soil and flavors and pigments, which can easily kill your pet." Wen Youning put the meat paste on plates and placed them on the steamer. "I still recommend everyone to buy some reliable grains from large factories. Regular brands won't have this problem, but don't look at the grains from small workshops. They are far inferior to what you make yourself."

Turn on the steamer, use two gas stoves to steam together, and use three layers of steamer to barely fit all the meat paste.

When mincing and mixing the meat, some of it will inevitably be left on the table.

Wen Youning rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come on, if you eat my food, you have to help me with the work."

"Woof!"

The German Shepherd approached actively. Wen Youning picked up the German Shepherd and put it on the corner of the table. "All this meat is for you."

Before cutting the meat, she laid two layers of plastic wrap on the table. She could have just folded up the plastic wrap and thrown it away, but there were a lot of meat residues on it, so it would have been a bit of a waste to just throw it away.

Cover with plastic wrap and steam a thin layer of minced meat over medium heat until cooked.

Spread it out on the table, sticking the plastic wrap to the marble tabletop, so it cools down quickly.

"Meow!"

'I'll help too!'

The little tabby cat was very diligent and volunteered. It jumped up in one step. Wen Youning raised his hand and grabbed the kitten by the chest and picked it up.

"You are not allowed to eat anymore."

“Meow, meow—”

“I’m starving…”

The kitten stretched its neck and cried pitifully.

The kitten who hadn't eaten for half an hour was about to starve to death.

Wen Youning was watching this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Logically, Little Lihua should be old enough to know when she's hungry or full, but she still wanted to eat even though she was so full. "Be good, wait until you digest it before eating, and I'll give you a midnight snack tonight." Little Lihua should eat small meals frequently now.

The little tabby cat struggled hard to move its claws, but it couldn't escape Wen Youning's hands. It drooped its head weakly, and dropped it onto her fingertips. Its life as a cat was hopeless.

Looking at its pitiful appearance, if its belly wasn't already protruding horizontally, Wen Youning might not be able to resist giving it more. "You really can't eat it. Look at your little belly."

It was getting dark, the meat grinder was inefficient, the rice in the pot had not yet been cooked, and the timer on the chandelier in the house was already on.

Wen Youning had been busy and didn't feel hungry, so she simply sat down at the dining table, holding the little tabby dog ​​in one hand and holding the German Shepherd with the other to prevent it from falling off the table due to its inability to move.

[You cruel guy! What's wrong with letting the kitten lick it? ]

[It seems that Xiao Lihua needs legal assistance. ]

[Anchor, anchor! The owner of the golden arowana fish farm in the morning market is also live streaming! ]
