if you're tuning in to find the pull me
down food recipe for larger breeds I've
got a great one for you this one's
simple very easy to prepare and you're
gone shor to enjoy it if you're
concerned about this being a balanced a
diet for your dog if you want to switch
it to for him to eat daily for a long
period of time you need to be sure that
you're providing a balanced nutrition
and the only way to do that is to
consult your veterinarian or a canine
nutritionist they'll look at the recipe
with you they will take into
consideration your dog's age weight
activity level his overall health and
well-being any health conditions that
may be there and he'll recommend
supplements that you can add maybe a
multivitamin or maybe he's gonna tell
you that this is a balanced meal as is
for your dog's needs so be sure to touch
base with canine nutritionists or a
veterinarian before you switch your dog
to this diet full time if you are
looking for something to entice your dog
to eat if he has no appetite or just
something to have as a food topper to
your already balanced commercial kibble
this is a great option before you get
started if putting this recipe together
you are going to need to pre-heat your
oven to 300 and 400 going to need to
cook some vegetables I have half a cup
of peas and have a cup of green beans
here I cooked them together so they're
in the same dish and I also have half a
cup of carrots feel free to use any dog
friendly vegetables if for some reason
your dog's allergic or just doesn't like
one of these vegetables you can
certainly substitute another and you're
gonna mash these because you cooked them
either boiled them or steamed them
they're nice and soft and you're gonna
mash them until they're pretty smooth
now I'm going to add an egg a whole egg
with the shell and I'm just gonna mash
that as well and then you can just stir
it
to get the egg all mixed through the
vegetables and kind of crush the shell
up a little bit more eggshells are a
great natural source of calcium for dogs
so when you can add them to recipes it's
very beneficial to do so now to this
mixture I'm going to add this was 1 cup
brown rice dry and then I cooked it so
it's probably about a cup and a half or
so now so 1 cup of dry rice and you're
gonna cook that in according to the
instructions on the package and then you
once it's cooked you can add it to this
mixture and again just make sure
everything's thoroughly mixed from here
and out I'll refer to this as the veggie
mix and now in a separate Bowl I have 2
pounds of chicken that I have cut into
chunks and I also have a peeled and
cored Apple that I have cut into chunks
as well and I'm going to mix these
together I have my chicken mixture and I
have my veggie mixture and the final
step is to see a well greased cookie not
cookie sheet sorry a well greased
casserole dish and I actually have some
I set my spatula in there so I have some
peaches in there and what you're going
to want to do now this is well greased
again you preheated your oven to 300 4 T
degrees so you're gonna take half of
your chicken and apple mixture and
you're just gonna layer that on the
bottom kind of spread it out as best you
can and then you want to take 2/3 of the
veggie mixture you have to these don't
have to be exact but a little bit more
than half of your veggie mixture and
you're gonna spread that out again
then you want the other half of your
chicken and apples and as you can
probably guess we're gonna top this off
with the rest of the veggie mixture and
then we're going to bake this in your
340 degree oven for 35 minutes that will
give plenty of time for the chicken to
cook thoroughly and I will show you what
it looks like when it's finished this is
our large breed dog Sadie she's a
chocolate lab you can tell that she
loves this food the serving size for
this is about half a cup for every 25
pounds of body weight so Sadie's about
70 75 pounds so I give her a cup and a
half in the morning and a cup and a half
in the evening you can break it up into
three small meals if that's how you feed
your dog as well if you guys have any
