Remove from heat. Drain excess liquid.

Cooking Chickpeas for Dog Food

Step 3:

Cooking Carrots for Dogs

Slice or dice the carrots to a bite size appropriate for your dog. Simmer the carrots in a little water until tender, until a fork can easily pierce them. Drain and let cool.

Step 4:

Add Sunflower oil to Homemade Dog Food

Sunflower oil is added as a source of linoleic acid. If you would like a substitute oil you can add Wheat germ, Walnut or Corn oil in the amount of 1.2 teaspoons.

add vitamins and minerals to diy dog food

Step 5:

Add Vitamin Mineral Powder to Make Nutritionally Complete and Balanced Grain Free Homemade Dog Food

When the meat, chickpeas and carrots are cool to touch you can add the Azestfor nutritional supplements. If you are adding the Azestfor just before serving you would add 1 1/4 teaspoons Azestfor Homemade Dog Food Vitamins per 1 cup of homemade dog food.

Heat destroys the potency of vitamins.

Storage

The recipe can be prepared in large batches and frozen. It will keep for up to a year in the freezer, or one week in the fridge. Freezing vitamins preserves their potency. I would recommend portioning the food into meal size servings before freezing it.

To defrost a frozen meal – put it in the fridge overnight.

Feeding Guidelines:

We suggest dividing the daily amount into two servings, one in the morning and one in the evening. Every dog’s nutritional requirements are a little bit different due to age & amount of exercise. If your dog is losing weight, increase food by 1/4 cup a day, if they are gaining weight reduce accordingly.

  • Hello. I dont understand. Your measurement for food. 3 pounds chickpea is how many cans. And in the cans there’s some liquid. So do I drain the liquid?. We don’t have chickpea loose.unless you go to a health store.
    and the same with carrots,3 pound 1/3 Here in Canada they are in bags is it 2 bags of carrots maybe
    I’m having lots of problems with the measurement. .i have to get this right. My dog is very sick. But with your product he more alive. Sleep less,still sleep most of the days but he likes the carriage after supper. He was always in pain and me crying. I know your product for inflammation. He walks 8 blocks now 2 months after. before 1/2 a block he would fall. I just prayed that God brings me someone to help me save my dog. He is 13. One day I type natural food for sick dog on Google’s
    And you came the first of the list.. I ordered everything you had. And I saw amazon over price your product and. Told the person I was talking too. I am very grateful for you. My dog has a longer lives and he is happy that’s because of you.
    Now if I can get your measurement right. I will be happy
    Thank you
    Papillon and me

  • Love the Azestfor products & recipes! One question for this recipe though, is the 3lbs of chickpeas dry weight or cooked?
