I love when our readers reach out and offer us their own recipes to share with the community. Peggy sent me this one that she makes for her yellow Lab, Sampson. Since she has a bigger dog, this recipe makes about 5 to 6 days of food, as she adds 1/2 to 1 cup of kibble. Peggy also changes it up but substituting ground turkey and different green veggies.

Peggy’s Easy Beef Dog Food Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup of cooked brown rice

1 lb of lean ground beef

1 carrot, shredded

1 apple, shredded

1 cup chopped spinach

1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

Spinach is packed with vitamins and nutrients that can help to improve your dog’s health and well-being. But it’s a vegetable that is far too often overlooked! This green leafy treat contains high levels of vitamins A, B, C, and K along with beta-carotene, iron, and antioxidants.

These nutrients will help to:

    Unfortunately, most dogs aren’t too excited by the idea of chowing down on a bowl of spinach. If you’re going to enjoy the benefits that spinach has to offer, the best way to convince your dog to dig in is to serve the nutrition-rich vegetable as part of a tasty recipe like this food.

    With high levels of vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants, this crispy and delicious fruit is a great addition to your dog’s diet. They are also packed with fiber which can help to improve your dog’s digestion while also helping with weight loss.

    One lesser-known benefit of apples is the flavonoid quercetin. Often referred to as “Nature’s Benadryl”, quercetin is an antihistamine. It helps to reduce many of the most common allergy symptoms including redness, irritation, and inflammation.  This is a great option for dogs that regularly suffer from seasonal allergies, allowing you to help manage their allergy symptoms without relying on chemical

    solutions.
