Dog Health Food Recipe

By Moses Wright

Some dog owners like to make their dogs food for a variety of reasons. Many dog owners feel that making dog food for their dog is a way to show that they care. If the dog has a health problem such as diabetes or obesity, dog health food recipes can help a concerned dog owner provide an ideal meal for their dog.

A dog health food recipe is not usually designed to treat a health problem. Rather, healthy dog food recipes are meant to provide a nutritious meal for any dog including those with a health problem. Dog owners of dogs with health problems should consult a veterinarian about the best meal preparation for the dog.

One easy dog health food recipe is for lamb stew. The ingredients are: one pound lamb, three diced potatoes, two chopped celery sticks, two chopped carrots, two pints of chicken broth, and two tablespoons of olive oil.

After the meat is browned in the olive oil, add the chicken broth and allow to cook for forty-five minutes. The vegetables should be added and allowed to stew for forty-five more minutes. The stew should be allowed to cool before being served to the dog.

Lean ground beef or lean cuts of beef can be substituted for the lamb. Other ingredients can be added like corn or rice. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for use in the next day or two. The dog owner should not over-feed the dog even though this food is healthy.

A cabbage roll meal is another dog health food recipe. Four large cabbage leaves, one fourth cup of plain yogurt, one half cup of white rice, chicken broth, and one half cup of cooked, shredded chicken breast are the ingredients. After the large vein is removed, boil the cabbage leaves until tender.

The other ingredients should be mixed. Remove the cabbage leaves from the water and set the cabbage leaves on a flat surface. The mixture of the other ingredients should be divided among the cabbage leaves. The leaves should be rolled up, placed in a baking dish with enough chicken broth to cover the bottom and part of the cabbage rolls, and baked for thirty minutes. - 23802
