Due to the pet food recall I decided to submit this recipe for other dog owners looking for a soft pet food alternative. This has been reviewed by my vet and approved. This is a great healthy recipe for dogs and can be cut in half for smaller dogs. Combined with a kibble this recipe lasts about 4-5 days for 2 large Golden retrievers. Be sure that your vegetable mix contains no garlic or onions!

Tips

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Always opt for fresh, human-grade ingredients when making homemade dog food. Avoid using processed or spoiled ingredients, as these can be harmful to your dog.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe for your dog to eat.
  • Add a variety of healthy ingredients: In addition to chicken, incorporate a variety of other healthy ingredients into your homemade dog food, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This will provide your dog with a balanced diet that meets all of their nutritional needs.
  • Avoid using harmful ingredients: Certain ingredients, such as onions, garlic, and grapes, can be toxic to dogs. Always research the safety of an ingredient before adding it to your dog's food.
  • Start slowly: When introducing homemade dog food to your dog, start by mixing it with their regular food and gradually increase the amount of homemade food over time. This will help your dog adjust to the new food and avoid digestive upset.
