Ingredients
- Pancakes: I use my Blueberry Pancakes for Dogs recipe. You can make these the day of brunch or even ahead of time. You can also use our Waffle Recipe for Dogs or Pumpkin Waffles for Dogs.
- Ground Turkey: I use organic ground turkey to make the sausages. You can also use beef or pork as well. Or, if you meal prep with How to Cook Ground Turkey For Dogs, you could even just use some of this.
- Eggs: I use organic egg whites in this recipe because John John loves egg whites and I always save them whenever I am baking and I just need yolks. But, you can also use whole eggs for your dog too!
- Blueberries: I add fresh organic blueberries to John John's brunch because blueberries are one of John John's favorite fruits! You can also include other dog friendly fruits like strawberry, banana, apples, or kiwi.

Tips for Sunday Brunch for Dogs
- Depending on the size of your dog, you may need to make more or less of this meal to fit your dog’s food requirements. John John is 20 pounds and he ate this whole meal (minus one pancake as that was too much, but I wanted to use it for the photos!). Check our post How Much Homemade Food Should I Feed My Dog? for a fresh dog food calculator.
- I used my Blueberry Pancakes for Dogs recipe. I made these a few weeks ago for John John and I put some in the freezer, so I could take them out as needed. These freeze really well, so you can make them and freeze some if your dog won’t eat them all right away. I used zip bags to freeze them, and I thawed them out in the microwave!
- I use organic ground turkey to make turkey sausages. John John eats ground turkey a lot for dinner, so I just set aside a bit of raw meat to form a couple sausage links. I cooked these in a skillet with coconut oil until done. You could also form them into little patties, but I thought the links would be funnier for this shoot!
- Feel free to use other dog safe fruits like apples, banana, raspberries, or blackberries too!
While this is not a balanced everyday meal for your dog, it's a super fun treat meal or meal you can make as a special occasion. But, this can be turned into a complete meal for your dog easily if you add in some organ meat (like How to Make Beef Liver for Dogs or How to Cook Turkey Giblets for Dogs) and any supplements your dog may need.

How to Make Sunday Brunch for Dogs
Step 1
Make or defrost the pancakes. Use my Blueberry Pancakes for Dogs recipe.
Step 2
Form the ground turkey into sausage links. You can make smaller or larger ones depending on the size of your dog. Or you can even just cook all the ground turkey as is, because you should be breaking up the links anyways, haha. But, I like to make it look cute first!
Step 3
In a small skillet over medium heat, add a little coconut oil to coat the pan, and add your turkey sausage links in. Cook and rotate until they are completely cooked, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
No need to wash the pan, add the eggs in and scramble over medium heat.
Step 5
Plate your dog’s brunch with pancakes, eggs, turkey sausage, and fresh blueberries.
Recipe FAQ's
Yes, scrambled eggs are a great human food to share with your dog. Just be sure you are cooking them with a dog safe oil like coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil.
Dogs can share many human breakfast ingredients. Scrambled eggs are great so long as they are cooked in a dog safe oil (coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil). Breakfast sausage like turkey, pork, or even beef is fine so long as it's free of seasoning (you can remove a small portion of your breakfast meat before you season it). Organic rolled oats are a great option for dogs, just cook them plain with water. Dogs can also indulge in a small amount of plain Greek yogurt, just a dollop is all they need. You can also include dog safe fruits like blueberries, banana, strawberries, or blackberries.
This all depends on your dog’s size, current weight, and activity level. Always check with your vet to make sure you are feeding your dog the appropriate amount of food for their size and age.
But a general rule is you should be feeding your dog 2% to 5% of their body weight in fresh food. And small dogs weighing about 20 pounds or less can even get up to 10%! I have an entire article dedicated to How Much Homemade Dog Food Should I Feed My Dog? with a formula you can use for your dog's weight.
