Eating the exact same thing everyday has to be boring for our dogs, but altering
the dry food they eat without caution can be very bad for they’re health.

1 large potato or sweet potato, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
½ cup frozen peas
Water

Instructions

that’s good fat for your pooch! If your chose a leaner meat like chicken or turkey,
add in couple of tablespoons of coconut oil

3. Pour in just enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat
and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked.
