Cooked ingredients each carefully out weighed in grams specific to your dog
- Frozen green peas
- Chopped carrots, broccoli and garden spring greens
- Tinned drained lentils
- Couscous – dry weight
Nutrient rich icing also carefully weighed out
- Sesame oil
- Algae oil – given as a capsule, not weighed
- Crushed cashews
- Desiccated coconut
- Chopped fresh parsley, basil and rosemary
- All-In-Veluxe supplement
- Oat or almond milk
Preparation:
- Weigh out the frozen peas, drained and rinsed tinned lentils and add to a large pot
- 1 tin of drained lentils weighs approximately 250g
- Chop the weighed amounts of carrots, broccoli and fresh spring greens (combined weight)
- Add everything to the pot
- Cover with water and boil on the hob for 45 minutes
- Once boiled drain half of the water and mash the food well with a potato masher or hand-held blender
- Add the weighed amount of couscous to the hot and moist blended food and allow the couscous to absorb the remains of the nutrient-rich water
- Divide into containers for the number of days you have made the food for and allow to cool
Nutrient rich icing:
- Cut the tip off the algae capsule and squeeze out the contents
- Weigh out the sesame oil (in grams)
- Weigh out the coconut, crushed cashews and VEGDOG supplement
- Chop fresh basil and parsley and add to the mixture
- Mix together with a little oat milk or almond milk to form a paste
- ONLY WHEN COMPLETELY COOLED, ‘ice’ the top of the cooked food
Defrost overnight to feed in the morning to your dog. If very warm summer temperatures, keep the food refrigerated
If you have a fussy dog
As some dogs do not like the consistency of mashed food (similar to the consistency of mushy peas), to make it more palatable for fussy dogs, we advise adding in AGAR AGAR powder that gives the food a slimy consistency, like tinned dog food. It is a healthy addition as it is fibre and adds to the essential gut microflora. It is made up by mixing 15g powder per 1kg cooked food that is boiled and allowed to cool and can then be mixed into the food. The nutrient rich ‘icing’ can then be added to the top of the food, or also mixed in, but ensure that the food is cold when added to retain vital nutrients.
