Healthy, Nutritious and Delicious Dog Food Recipes To Make At Home
Our dream is that one day every dog will enjoy nature real fresh food diets and enjoy healthly lives as a result! So whether you are unfortunately outside our delivery zone or just feel like doing it yourself, we encourage you to use this commonsense guide to home preparing a proper, healthy doggy dinner -one that’s the same as Mother Nature provided for them in the wild. It’s not rocket science as some might have you believe, but as ‘Chief Bowl Filler’ you need to know a few do’s and don’ts first. If you want to home feed regularly 24/7/365 then you’ll need to swat up some more, and we suggest you read all of our home feeding section and see our 'further reading' below.

The basic but vital rule-of-thumb is to serve up 2/3 proper dinner and 1/3 raw meaty bones to make up your pooch’s daily feed need (see our nifty feed calculator to work this out). This will ensure your dog gets a naturally balanced diet of calcium and phosphorous in the right proportions and enjoys the pleasure of bone eating and the health benefits that come with it. The calcium:phosphorous ratio is at the heart of a dog's health needs so don't play around with it unless you really know what you are doing.
Feel free to swap the meats and veggies for other appropriate types, but keep to the recipe proportions! You can use whatever is seasonal or in the fridge, but please check out the 'Yes! No! Maybe..?! and Sometimes! Foods' guides on the 'home feeding advice' page, as even the healthiest of veggies can be downright dodgy for doggies.
Instructions
Slice up meat and offal into suitably sized chunks for your dog (remember chewing bigger pieces keeps teeth and gums healthy so don't do all the work for them). Then thoroughly blitz the veggies into a nice digestible mush in a food processor (dogs can’t digest chunky veggies).
Mix all the ingredients together and serve raw. (You can gently cook these recipes but your dog will get more nutritional goodness if you keep them raw).
Divide up any remaining food into your dog’s feed need proportions and pop them into your freezer for future meals.(They’ll last 2 - 3 days fresh in your fridge below 4 degrees or up to 3 months if frozen).
N.B. Because these are occasional recipes, they don’t include the extra natural oils and supplements your dog needs long term, but you can add them if you want. See 'home feeding advice' for the best ones to use!
