It’s been awhile since I shared some of the recipes I use to prepare food for my dogs. Below are a few new ones I found, and my dogs love them!!
Rolled Oats and Yogurt Meal
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup vegetables (carrots, celery, spinach, broccoli, etc.), shredded, steamed or pureed
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Soak the rolled oats in yogurt overnight. Then mix all the ingredients together, and serve to your patient and loyal friend

Soup For Your Dog!
4 small parsnip
2 whole yellow squash, cubed
2 whole sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 whole zucchini, cubed
5 whole tomatoes
15 oz. chick peas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 cup couscous
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups of water or chicken stock

Combine the above ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender. usually about 30 minutes.
This can be served over brown rice or barley.

The above recipes are great for medium sized dogs. Remember, if your dog is a small dog, or an extremely active dog, or a very large dog, the serving sizes will vary. Also, I feed various vitamins and supplements to my dogs with their meals, according to their size, age, activity, and any illnesses. For excellent information on serving sizes, supplements, more homemade dog food recipes, and specific recipes to cure your dog from things such as lice and skin conditions, you really need to get John Miller’s book and the Dog Food Secrets Book. I could not survive as a dog owner, and my dogs would not nearly be as happy, if I did not have and use both of these books. They explain the dangers of commercial dog food, and contain hundreds of homemade dog food recipes, along with advice on serving sizes, dog nutrition, and how to naturally cure various conditions that dogs suffer from with a natural diet.
