Notes

Tips
  • Never give your dog raw salmon as that can cause symptoms like upset stomach and more for your pup.
  • You can replace the salmon with any meat your dog likes. Chicken, turkey, ground beef, beef chuck, or even ground lamb all work! Just be sure to feed higher fat proteins more moderately and not make them a daily part of your dog's diet.
  • If you're sharing salmon with your dog (like we do often!) be sure it's free of spices, onions, and salmon skin. "Dog salmon" should just be plainly cooked with dog safe oils like coconut or olive oil.
  • Feel free to use any color bell pepper, all are safe for dogs. You can also swap out veggies for other dog safe veggies such as green beans, peas, or broccoli.
  • Brown rice and wild rice are safe for dogs, but can be harder for dog's to digest, which is why we stick to Jasmin rice.
  • If your dog doesn't like rice (it's actually not John John's favorite!) then use mashed sweet potato or butternut squash. If using sweet potatoes, be sure to remove all skins as those can be toxic to dogs. Check out How to Cook Sweet Potatoes for Dogs.
  • If you're not sure how much homemade dog food to feed your dog, check out our post How Much Homemade Food Should I Feed My Dog? which gives you a simple formula based on your dog's weight.
  • High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
