Introduction
If you’ve ever scoured the Internet looking for some delicious and easy to prepare recipes for homemade dog food, be sure to add these to your list. They will certainly have your dog eager for feeding time:
Patty Cakes Ingredients:
- ½ pound ground turkey or beef (you can also experiment with lamb, though you may have to grind it yourself)
- ¼ chicken broth
- 1/3 cup black beans fully cooked and mashed
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Steps:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
2. Place ground meat and the chicken broth together in a mixing bowl
3. Add cottage cheese and black beans
4. Add the soy sauce and thoroughly mix all ingredients
5. Create rounded patties and place on cookie sheet. Do not make them too thin.
6. Bake for 45 minutes and then let cool
Experiment by making different shapes such as bones, diamonds, etc. from your mix to see if your dog prefers one shape over the other. Most likely he will love and devour them all, regardless of shape.
Doggy Tuna Salad
This recipe is recommended for overweight dogs. Overweight dogs usually have a shorter lifespan than average-weight or optimum-weight dogs, which is why it’s a good idea to start trimming excess weight now, while your dog is still strong.
Ingredients:
- 7 ounces of canned tuna
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of mustard or Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup of red wine vinegar
- ½ cup of olive oil
- 1 medium-sized carrot (slice the carrot first)
- Whole head of cabbage
Steps:
1. Remove the water from the tuna and pour the flakes in a separate container.
2. Combine the sugar, and other ingredients with the tuna flakes.
3. Arrange the cabbage leaves in a bowl.
4. Top the cabbage leaves with the first mixture and serve to your dog.
More Tips on Homemade Recipes
A few other tips as you prepare homemade recipes: Your best bet is to provide a variety of meals for your pet. For example, don’t get stuck feeding only one type of meat. Vary between fish, poultry and beef. In addition, add in eggs, dairy products and certain types of vegetables.
Don’t worry if every meal is not perfectly balanced or does not contain every essential protein, vitamin and mineral. As long as you are giving your dog a good variety of recipes, they will get all of the essential nutrients they need.
Finally, remember to keep grains to a minimum as these are particularly difficult for dogs to digest.
Enjoy the recipes!
