Mummy is pretty strict about not over-feeding me. Firstly, because I don't have the best joints on my hind legs (I have luxating patella grade 4, which basically means my kneecap sits permanently outside of its groove), and therefore any excess weight would be burdensome on my joints. And secondly, because Mummy has read studies showing that rats and monkeys lived longer on a low-calorific diet (oh how I wish Mummy had never read this!!)
Anyway, back to my scrumptious dinner which I'm still thinking about today (food is a constant in my meandering thoughts). Let me share with you Mummy's quick and easy peasy homemade recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
1 organic lamb heart
1 organic chicken liver
Carrot
Peas
Purple sweet potato
1/2 scoop Sasha's Blend
Sprinkling of crushed free-range eggshell
4 drops human-grade fish oil
METHOD:
Steam lamb heart and chicken liver for 20 minutes (Mummy loves her Tefal food steamer). Steam vegetables for 10 minutes. Chuck it all in a mini blender to make it easier to digest (Mummy loves her Kenwood Triblade Hand Blender). Let cool and then sprinkle with Sasha's Blend, eggshell and fish oil. Combine well.
TOOLS:
Tefal Food Steamer - throw the ingredients in, put on the timer and go do your own thing until the timer goes off. Life couldn't be easier!
Kenwood Triblade Hand Blender - great for small amounts of food that need to be chopped or blended. Very easy to clean - bonus!
This is what the dish looks like before the ingredients have been blended:
SUPPLEMENTS:
1) Sasha's Blend
Sasha's Blend is made from a combination of marine concentrates and nutrients which aid in the relief of arthritic symptoms in dogs. It is beneficial in dealing with pain and inflammation, promoting improved digestive function, stimulating healthy joint function, and stimulating healthy joint fluid production.
2) Fish Oil
Fish oil provides the following benefits for your pooch:
- improves coat and skin;
- reduces inflammation due to conditions such as arthritis, allergies, and inflammatory bowel disease;
- regulates the immune system, boosting those that are suppressed and calming overactive immune systems for dogs with allergies or autoimmune diseases;
- aids in mental development of fetuses and puppies, and improves cognitive function in older dogs;
- lowers blood pressure and triglycerides;
- provides support for dogs with kidney disease, heart disease, and cancer;
- promotes weight loss in overweight dogs.
Just make sure you store it properly and give the appropriate dosage!
And VOILA! This is what the dish looks like after it's been blended:
And here's what my bowl looks like when I'm done. I don't know why Mummy bothers washing it when I do such a good job of it myself!
