From 1001 Old-Time Household Hints, by Yankee Magazine. Their description says it's "...believed to ease the aches for people - and dogs - with arthritis." I don't know if it does anything for aches, but about a cup of this stew mixed in with her kibble every night has gotten my old dog eating regularly again. Note: I sometimes have trouble finding beef heart at the meat counters. I've substituted a mix of beef liver and chicken hearts, and my dog seems to be just as happy with the stew.

SERVES 40 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups pot barley
2 cups brown rice
2 cups diced carrots
2 cups fresh spinach
2 cups chopped beef heart
1 cup lentils
1 cup diced celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 cups water

Directions

1
In a large stock pot, combine all ingredients.
2
Bring the mix to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Put a lid on the pot and stir every 15 minutes or so.
3
You may need to add more water (I always do).
4
Allow to cool before offering to your dog. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen.
