🐶 Everyday Healthy Dog Food Recipe (That Your Dog Will Actually Love!)
If you’re looking for a healthy, simple, and nutritious meal to feed your dog a few times a week—this recipe is exactly what you need.
⚠️ Note: This is not a complete meal. Complete meals provide every nutrient possible but aren’t suitable for daily feeding. Learn why in this video on complete vs. everyday meals.
🍽️ Why Not Feed Complete Meals Daily?
Feeding your dog superfood-packed meals every single day isn’t natural. In the wild, dogs don’t consume every vitamin and mineral in one sitting.
Instead, try a balanced feeding pattern where everyday meals (like the one below) make up 3–4 days of the week.

🛒 Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts (lean protein)
- 2 chicken livers (vital multivitamin source)
- 1 carrot, finely grated
- 1 small chunk of broccoli, raw and grated
- 1 egg (with crushed eggshell – calcium source)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
(or hemp seed, coconut oil, or MCT oil) - Optional: Sweet potato, rice, or cooked beetroot (15–20% of meal, max 2–3x/week)
- Optional: Sardines in water (for DHA omega-3 boost)
- 1 scoop natural meal topper
(includes thyme, pumpkin seeds, nettle, seaweed, papaya, reishi mushroom, cranberry)
🍳 Instructions:
- Boil water in a pot.
- Chop the meat into small chunks (prevents picky eaters from separating meat/veg).
- Add chicken and liver to the boiling water – cook for 5–7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate the vegetables. Grating helps dogs absorb nutrients better.
- Crack the egg, crush the shell finely, and mix in.
- Once the meat is cooked, drain it and mix in the grated veg.
- Add egg, oil, and optional carbs (e.g., sweet potato).
- Sprinkle on your meal topper.
- Serve fresh or store in the fridge/freezer.
