Cooking a Stew for Your Dog
For one reason or another, you may elect to cook for your dog, rather than offer raw food. The good news is that dogs are not very discerning restaurant patrons. In other words, they'll eat just about anything you put in front of them! As long as you get the basic ingredients and approximate ratios, your dog will appreciate the finished product!
Here are suggested ingredients for a stew:
- 40-50% of any or all of these boneless meats: chicken, turkey, beef, pork, venison
- 20% organ meats: chicken or beef hearts, chicken or beef/calf liver, gizzards
- 15-20% vegetables: anything except onions and leeks. Safe bets are broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, squashes. Occasional spinach and other dark green leafy lettuces. Try to rotate veggies. Use fresh or frozen, never canned.
- 5-10% grain if your dog can't hold its weight: oats, barley, quinoa
- Garlic cloves
- Parsley
- Spring or filtered water
Cook in a stew pot or crock pot. Then place feeding portions in freezer bags or containers and freeze. Defrost portion in refrigerator overnight.
This is not a 100% nutritionally complete diet. You will need to add the supplement Call of the Wild to each portion before feeding. You can also add the supplement directly to the entire stew mix after it has cooled down.
