Some dog owners thoroughly enjoy making their dogs food. Using a dog health food recipe is a way for the dog owner to enjoy preparing their dogs food and providing a healthy meal for their dog. This can be especially important if the dog has diabetes or obesity.

Though some dog food recipes available on the Internet are designed specifically for dogs with health conditions, many make healthy meals for any dog. If the dog has a health concern, the owner may want to seek meal preparation advice from the veterinarian.

Lamb stew is a dog health food recipe. One pound lamb, three diced potatoes, two chopped celery sticks, two chopped carrots, two pints of chicken broth, and two tablespoons of olive oil are the ingredients needed to make the healthy lamb stew for dogs.

After the meat is browned in the olive oil, add the chicken broth and allow to cook for forty-five minutes. The vegetables should be added and allowed to stew for forty-five more minutes. The stew should be allowed to cool before being served to the dog.

In that recipe, low fat beef can be substituted for lamb. The dog owner could add other ingredients like rice or corn. The dog owner should avoid the temptation of giving the dog extra food just because the food is healthy for the dog.

A cabbage roll meal is another dog health food recipe. Four large cabbage leaves, one fourth cup of plain yogurt, one half cup of white rice, chicken broth, and one half cup of cooked, shredded chicken breast are the ingredients. After the large vein is removed, boil the cabbage leaves until tender.

The other ingredients should be mixed. Remove the cabbage leaves from the water and set the cabbage leaves on a flat surface. The mixture of the other ingredients should be divided among the cabbage leaves. The leaves should be rolled up, placed in a baking dish with enough chicken broth to cover the bottom and part of the cabbage rolls, and baked for thirty minutes.
