Juicer Solids


Recommended Posts

I just got a new Omega masticating juicer to make green juices. Instead of throwing it all in the compost, do you think I can put some of the remaining solids from carrots, kale, celery, spinach, etc in with the dogs' food? I was thinking of giving it a whiz in the food processor or cooking it in with some chicken livers for them.. Since it has fiber, I wonder if it would be a good poop firmer upper?

if you are giving veggies to the pups, they need to be either pulverized (I use my food processor) or cooked to mush in order for them to absorb any nutrients from them :)

 

be forewarned, they can result in some pretty stinky farts. And if Larry is like his mom get ready to peel the paint :lol

Awe Larry, you take after your mom :-) She does get gassy when we veer too far off of her regular diet, and it is pretty foul. I may just try it in stuff I cook for them and see what happens.

Wouldn't masticating do the same thing? I use a Nutribullet myself to blend veggies into a liquid "shake" that I pour over their food occasionally. And that is the first thing they go for when I put their bowls down. Edited by 4My2Greys

It pretty much grinds everything down to a fine pulp. I tried a spoonful and it tasted good, albeit a little dry. I am not sure how much nutrition is still there after the juicing process, but I reckon there must be some.
