Cooking for dogs yourself is no longer a rarity. But even dog owners who are not allowed to feed their dogs can now and then prepare a special meal for them themselves. Here you will find the recipe for a hearty rice and vegetable pan.
Lean meat, fresh fruit, and vegetables, not too many carbohydrates – healthy eating is all the rage. Many dog owners who pay attention to the quality and origin of the ingredients in their own diet do not want to feed their four-legged family members any random ready-made fast food. Cooking for dogs is becoming increasingly popular. However, if you want to feed your dog with home-cooked food in the long term, you have to deal intensively with the topic of dog nutrition in order to really cover the actual nutrient requirements.
If you want to surprise your dog every now and then with a home-cooked meal, you will find the recipe for tasty and well-tolerated rice and vegetable stir-fry here.
Extra tip: If you cook several daily rations, you can freeze additional meals in portions.
