A Simple Recipe that Dogs Love
Food is never a subject far from your dogs mind. If it is he might be sick so get him checked out.
The staple in my dogs diet is a top quality dry pellet brand. They love (and need) some variety though and this is a recipe for dogs mince I stole from my mother…
- 500 grams good quality pets mince.
- 2 X carrots, finely grated.
- Handful of green beans, finely chopped.
- 2 Tablespoons cooking oil.
- 2 slices brown bread, crumbed.
- quarter cup chicken\beef stock.
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Transfer to a baking dish you have prelined with cooking foil (just spread the mix out across the whole dish). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (Centigrade) and bake for approx. 1 hour (note: this time is based on a shallow baking tray – add more time for deeper dishes – and check the progress often until you are familiar with your oven and cooking utensils).
This quantity makes about one baking tray (35cm X 25cm X 10cm) but you can increase the ingredients according to your needs – just keep the ratio’s roughly the same.
I break the cooked food up into smaller containers and freeze what I don’t need.
The finished product is too crumbly and greasy for my liking as a training treat (you can’t beat liver bread for that) and not suitable as a full meal on it’s own – but I mix in a small amount with the pellets and the dogs appreciate the variety.
