How to Make Homemade Dog Food Topping
This topping is easy to prepare and your dog will absolutely love it! Add 3 or 4 heaping tablespoons to your pet's dry or canned food at each meal. Or, make your dog's meal using regular food and half topping for weight loss.
[edit] Ingredients
- 1 3/4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 4 medium-sized breasts)
- 7x 14-1/2 oz. cans of cut green beans, drained (regular or low-sodium)
- 1x 15-1/4 oz. can of whole kernel corn, drained
[edit] Steps
- Trim any excess fat and gristle from the chicken and discard.
- Place chicken in an 8-quart stockpot, add 1 cup of fresh cool water, cover and simmer on low heat until cooked through (approx. 45 minutes).
- Remove chicken from the pot (reserving liquid) and dice into bite-sized pieces.
- Set aside.
- Layer half the green beans, half the chicken and half the corn into the liquid in the stockpot, then repeat.
- Stir gently until well mixed.
- Return pot to low heat for approx. 20 minutes, or until mixture is thoroughly heated.
- Allow to cool.
- Place mixture in lidded plastic storage containers and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- To really pamper your dog, try warming the topping in the microwave before serving.
[edit] Tips
- Variation:
- Substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for breasts. Also try a can of peas and/or carrots instead of corn.
