Why You'll Love This Recipe
Brunch with Your Dog: You will love this recipe for Sunday Brunch for Dogs because now you can brunch with your dog! No more searching for dog friendly restaurants for brunch, instead brunch with your dog at home!
There’s nothing I live more than brunch! A little indulgent breakfast food in the middle of the day combined with relaxing is really an amazing combination. So, of course, I want John John to experience brunch and all its glory.
Use Extra Egg Whites: I start this recipe by making my Blueberry Pancakes for Dogs. And I’ve had some extra egg whites recently from baking, so I cooked them up in coconut oil for John John as he loves egg whites! You can use whole eggs if you would like to as well, either works!
Lean Protein: I use Organic Prairie Ground Turkey and form two sausage links. I cooked them up in coconut oil as well (his fave!) and it really rounds out the meal with lean protein. Dog do really well with lots of lean protein, so turkey is a great choice! Though, you could also make this with pork or beef as well. I added some fresh blueberries for antioxidants and a little sweetness. And John John goes nuts for this easy Sunday Brunch for Dogs!
My friends at Dog is Human sent us some of their multivitamins to try out, as I make all of John John’s food. This USA made, non-GMO multivitamin is a great addition to your dog’s homemade meals! Add it on top as a treat or crumble it up and mix it in. Use code MIMI20 for 20% off!

Step by Step Instructions
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.
Tips
- 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 18 pounds and he ate this whole meal (minus one pancake as that was too much, but I wanted to use it for the photos!).
- 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 good, 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 used egg whites here because I had extras from baking. Your dog can eat the whole egg and the whole egg is good for them! Eggs provide protein along with essential amino and fatty acids. They have vitamins including A and B12, folate, iron, selenium, and riboflavin. These are all great for your dog and they can improve skin and coat health as well as aid in stronger teeth and bones.
- 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!
- I added fresh blueberries to this Sunday Brunch for Dogs. Blueberries are high in antioxidants, Vitamin C and K, and fiber, which are all great for your dogs, plus they love these little fruits! You could also add strawberries, blackberries, banana, or apples to this plate as well as these are all dog friendly fruits.
FAQ's
Yes, try my Waffle Recipe for Dogs or Pumpkin Waffles for Dogs. You can also give your dog peanut butter toast, wheat is safe for dogs so long as they do not have a gluten allergy. Make sure you are giving your dog bread that is free of sugars, seed oils, and seeds as there are some seeds that are toxic to dogs (like caraway). Go for sourdough bread as that will be most nutritious to dogs and just give them a small amount. I used to feed this to Otto when he was sick, and I'd cut the toast into tiny squares and he loved it! My top pick is the Inked Sourdough Bread, this has no sugar and it has very few ingredients. This is the bread we buy in our house!
Yes! Dogs can benefit from all the Health Benefits of Eating Blueberries just like humans can! Plus, they are a bite sized snack your dog will love. I give John John blueberries every day and we both eat them together.
Yes! Eggs are a great source of protein, B vitamins, and vitamin A for your dog. They can also make their coat shiny. You can give your dog the whole egg and also just the whites. Sometimes I need yolks for baking, so I always save the whites for John John as he loves both the whites and whole eggs, shocker, haha!
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.
