It’s important to note that dogs have nutritional needs that their meals must meet. This is why my homemade dog food recipe contains the AKC recommended ABCs of a balanced dog food diet. After all, we only want what’s best for our pups!

This homemade dog food is not an adequate meal replacement. Canine nutritional needs vary depending on factors including build, breed, and age. It's strongly advised to consult with your veterinarian to determine your dog’s individual nutrient needs before starting them on homemade food.

Carrots - These are packed with potassium, fiber, antioxidants, and other vitamins that can improve your dog’s overall health. Foods like apples, peas, beets, green beans, leafy greens, and pumpkin are also great sources of dietary fiber.

Sweet potato - This is an excellent source of carbohydrates for dogs. It’s low in fat and high in vitamins A, B6, C, calcium, potassium, and iron. Pumpkin and butternut squash offer the same nutritional benefits and also help regulate digestion.

Lentils - Legumes are healthy for dogs because they’re low in fat and calories but high in fiber and protein. You can also make this with whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats if there are no grain sensitivities.

Water - You need water to cook the lentils but for even more flavor, cook them in bone broth or chicken broth. Make sure the broth isn’t cooked with anything unsafe, like onions and garlic.

Homemade Dog Food With Meat And Vegetables Recipe

Spinach - Just like humans, dogs need their greens. Feel free to add green beans, broccoli, cucumber, or brussels sprouts instead. Check out this list of fruits and vegetables dogs can and cannot eat before making any switches.

Step 1: Talk to your vet! This is a very important first step. You should always consult with your vet before making diet changes to determine your dog’s individual nutritional and caloric needs.

Step 2: Cook the lentils. Add the lentils and water to a saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until they’re tender.

Step 3: Prep the vegetables. Meanwhile, add the peeled sweet potato and carrots to a food processor. Pulse until they’re chopped into tiny pieces.

Step 4: Cook the meat and veggies. Cook the ground meat in a large pot over medium heat until it’s browned and no longer pink. Add the carrot and sweet potato mixture, then the spinach. Saute until they soften.

No, but it contains the complete list of components for well-balanced dog food. Keep in mind that all dogs have different nutritional needs. Talk to your vet to determine your dog’s complete dietary needs.

Is vegan dog food good for dogs? To be honest, you need to be especially mindful on the vegan dog food recipe you choose. Plant proteins are not as digestible by dogs and canines are more sensitive to some of the anti-nutrients in vegan foods—especially peas, which have been implicated in heart health issues in dogs.

Vegan Dog Treats With Peanut Butter & Oats

In a large roasting pan, thoroughly combine the sweet potatoes, chick peas, cooked brown rice, summer squash, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, pea protein and Mix. This should form the consistency of a moist dough. If more moisture is needed, add 2 Tbsp of water at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

Using a spatula, cut the finished vegan dog food into squares and store in sealed container. Stays fresh refrigerated for 3 days, and in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Unbeknowst to us, she apparently had a back injury (we believe) from jumping off the sofa that ended up deteriorating her spinal cord. She eventually had to be put to rest after she developed a condition called Myelomalacia, and eventually, she could no longer breathe. We loved her SO much!!! She had bloodwork done not long before she passed away, and everything internally was still in excellent working order. She ate this incredibly nutrient-rich dog food and other whole plant foods for almost 13 years! She was in such good health until this travesty happened. We still have her sister Ana with us, who is in very good health. We hope she will live a long time!!!
