Read recipe through its entirety first 🙂

1 lb of cooked ground meat
2 cups of cooked brown rice

Cook the following together in a pot and mash when done:
1 yam
Approximately 5 carrots
A few potatoes (dependent upon their size)

Mash together with the meat and then add:

1 cup of cooked green beans (cut into small pieces)
1 cup of cooked peas
1/4 cup of ground nuts (your choice)
Either a cup of chopped apple or a can of apple sauce.

Mix together along with whatever MINERALS you have from your vet and voila! Guaranteed your dog will love, love, love it!

* Freezes well. This is a great baseline recipe to vary.

My dog was 101lb and I found the recipe would last him 3 days. Is this helpful?

Thank you!

Quantity to feed? NEW
by: Gretchen

Hello,
I am just wondering how much this recipe makes up. I have a 60# dog and typically give her 2 cups of whatever I make. I am curious if your recipe, as written, will last a week, etc. Thanks for your help!

Substitute for Nuts
by: Anonymous

Thank you for your comments. We are already feeding the supplements of Fish Oil + multi vitamin + Multi Herbal Extract for dogs.

I guess our real concern is the ratio of protein to carbs in any home cooked food we provide. We followed this recipe exactly, except for the omission of the nuts. I have read that the ratio should be around 75% animal protein with the balance a mix of veggies, fruit, whole grain brown rice. This is fairly new to us so we are still “learning” the proper balance. Thank you!

Substitute for Nuts
by: Anonymous

Hello Rene,

I’m sorry but, I can only guess with the ratio. !/4 cups of peanuts would be equivalent to a small piece of chicken? It shouldn’t matter that you’ve eliminated the peanut from the recipe…

In addition, I have recently added an Omega 3 pill with each meal. My dog eats it without my having to hide it in the food. (It’s just a consideration).

Best of luck!

substitute for nuts
by: Rene

Hi, my dogs love this basic recipe. I have chosen to eliminate the nuts. Should I increase the chicken for the additional protein which would have been derived from the nuts, and. If so, by how much? Any help is appreciated.

Garlic bad for dogs?
by: Elaine

I have always heard that garlic is bad for dogs. I see some people add it to their recipes.

Hello John S,

I’m so pleased that your fussy eater enjoys this recipe. I haven’t met a dog yet that doesn’t like it!

Thank you for your feedback…but if I was to revise the recipe, I would use a bit less potato.

Enjoy!

re: peanuts

I appreciate your concern regarding the word peanut because It’s a confusing and misleading name. Peanuts are a legume and therefore safe for your dog to eat. But ultimately, it’s your choice to remove the peanut from the baseline recipe. Thank you for writing.

Copy and paste the following article to find out more about peanuts and nuts.
