Keep your dog healthy and fit with this easy peasy homemade recipe – it’s cheaper than store-bought and chockfull of fresh veggies.
But it’s important to note that dogs have different nutrient requirements than humans for their proportional body size, such as: High-quality protein (meat, seafood, dairy or eggs) Fat (meat or oil) Carbohydrates (grains or vegetables) Calcium (dairy) 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 breed and/or needs.
1 ½ cups brown rice1 tablespoon olive oil3 pounds ground turkey3 cups baby spinach, chopped2 carrots, shredded1 zucchini, shredded½ cup peas, canned or frozen
In a large saucepan of 3 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks.
Stir in spinach, carrots, zucchini, peas and brown rice until the spinach has wilted and the mixture is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Let cool completely.

Homemade dog food is easy to make with ground turkey, rice, and vegetables. You can also add it to their kibble. They love it! Homemade dog food can be made with 1 pound ground turkey, 6 cups water, 2 cups brown rice, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and ½ (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli, carrots and cauliflower combination. Place ground turkey, water, rice, and rosemary into a large Dutch oven. Add frozen vegetables, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Refrigerate until using. My dogs are large breed so they get 2 cups in the a.m. and p.m.

Your pet needs protein, fat, and carbohydrates. They also need calcium and essential fatty acids. Your pet needs protein, such as animal meat, seafood, dairy, or eggs, fat, from meat or oil, and carbohydrates, such as grains or vegetables. They also need calcium, from dairy or an ingredient such as egg shells, and essential fatty acids, from certain plant oils, egg yolks, oatmeal, and other foods. Cook all animal products to kill bacteria that could make your pooch sick. Cook grains, beans, and starchy vegetables to make them easier to digest. Never add foods that are toxic to dogs. Even the best recipes often don’t provide enough of certain nutrients, such as calcium. Your pup needs supplements if you’re feeding them from scratch.
