INGREDIENTS :
- A pound of meat ( can be turkey , beef , liver , fish or chicken ) - 2 cups brown rice or barley - 5 cups of water - 1 / 2 cup frozen vegetables - 1 – 2 Eggs ( optional )
Directions :
Cut up the meat into bite-sized pieces and mix all of the ingredients together , but do not cook . Since your dog needs a lot of protein , half of the recipe should be comprised of meat . Raw vegetables or fruits ( no grapes ) are as healthy for your dog as they are for you , but make sure you don ’ t add too much . Fibre will keep his digestive track healthy , but he doesn ’ t need it in abundance . A raw food diet is thought to have long-term benefits for your dog ’ s overall health and gleaming coat .
