Homemade Dog Food Recipe

Just like humans, the diet of a dog is critical for his/her health. The nutritional needs of every dog are different and it’s the responsibility of the parent to find the right mix for the pet. Having said that, you must discuss any new recipe with your vet before feeding it to your dog.

Note: The quantities mentioned below are for 5 average servings and can be changed according to your requirements.  

Ingredients:

• 30 oz. Tilapia
• 15.95 oz. Sweet Potato
• 12.30 oz. Barley
• 13 tbsp. Canola Oil
• 5 oz. Mixed Vegetables (kale, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli)

Instructions

1. Bake the tilapia in the oven. If frozen, you will need to bake for longer at 350 degrees. We bake frozen tilapia all at once using two trays for 45 minutes. Save the juice that the tilapia produces and use it in the food mixture.
2. While the tilapia is baking, peel and slice sweet potatoes into 2-4 inch pieces. We cook them in a bowl in water for 20 minutes in the microwave.
3. Start your barley on the stove according to the instructions.
4. Once the sweet potatoes are done, take your bag of frozen vegetables and cook them in the microwave.
5. Place the cooked sweet potatoes and vegetables in a blender and add in the canola oil. Puree until smooth.
6. Once the barley and tilapia are finished cooking, add everything together in a giant container or pot and mix together thoroughly.
