Directions:Chop vegetables up in smaller cubes. Put all ingredients into a large pot and cook for 30-45 minutes until vegetables are soft. Serve at room temperature. You can take it one step further and blend everything in a blender or food processor. This is a great idea for senior dogs, who require a softer texture for easy chewing.
Note: If you want to give your dog fish oil supplements with his food, make sure you put it in the food right before you are ready to serve. Fish oil supplements contain omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which are sensitive to heat.
Make sure you chop or grind the vegetables up really well. This helps "pre-digest" the food, thus aiding with proper release and absorption of vitamins.
Like humans, dogs also need a variety of food so they can get a wide spectrum of nutrients. I recommend that you change up the meat and vegetables, but still maintain the suggested ratio.
You can also mix in a nutritional supplement with their food, such as flax seed or fish oil.
I would not recommend too much broccoli or cauliflower since it can cause gas and stomach discomfort.
When possible, use organic vegetables and lean meats.
Brown rice has more nutrients than white rice.
Add in steel cut oats for fiber and bulk.
Mix the homemade dog food with a high quality dry dog food to ensure all the vitamins are there. And, it's a great way to cut down the cost! |

Notes: Though opinions differ greatly, I believe that a healthy dog's nutritional requirements can be fulfilled with three main essentials: nutritious food, sunlight, and belly rubs.
