Keep your dog healthy and fit with this easy peasy homemade recipe – it’s cheaper than store-bought and chockfull of fresh veggies!
That’s when I started to do some research on homemade dog food, and I have been so amazed as to how many different kinds of vegetables dogs can have , you can create so many different recipes for your pup!
But it’s important to note that dogs have different nutrient requirements than humans for their proportional body size, such as:
1.High-quality protein (meat, seafood, dairy or eggs)
2.Fat (meat or oil)
3.Carbohydrates (grains or vegetables)
4.Calcium (dairy)
5.Essential fatty acids (egg yolks or oatmeal)
Now this recipe here has a balance of 50% protein, 25% veggies and 25% grains, but the ratios can easily be adjusted to suit your pup’s.
Once you’ve made your batch, you can divide them up into single servings, note the date, and freeze it. When ready to serve, you can defrost it in the fridge overnight and nuke it for 15-30 seconds. That’s it! Now who knew that making dog food would be this easy?
