  • 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp. Turmeric
  • 2 Carrots sliced - Frozen or Fresh

  • Fill the pot with water, close to covering all the ingredients. Allow to boil on medium high and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. You want to cook the veggies until they seem pretty soft.

Notes:

Serving suggestions: We have 2 dogs and serve our Shihtzu and Yorkie breakfast and dinner, 3 spoonfuls of dog food mix with a splash of a daily Vitamin Powder and Omega Oil for their joint health.
Additionally you can add, Brutus Broth and a squirt of Salmon oil. They literally love it and devour it!
How to store? I need to make more: Double or triple this recipe to make a larger amount. To store this homemade dog food, I place them in glass mason jars and place in the freezer and bring out to thaw as needed. You can make a bigger amount and store so you have even more!
