Mindiampets Homemade Dog Food Recipe #3 (Quinoa, Blueberries and Butternut Squash)

I have to admit I laughed when I read the recipe contents; Quinoa, Blueberries and Butternut Squash. They seemed more like something from a Health-Conscious Café recipe rather than a Dog Food Recipe.

Larry, my 3-year old Cavoodle has picked this one from the Mindiampets Dog Food Recipes as his favorite so far.

I’m really enjoying making the recipes as I know exactly what goes into the product.

Most of their recipes seem to have a 5 to 7-day shelf life; which I am OK with as I would rather feed Larry a natural product than something that has to include preservatives to get a longer shelf life. Fresh is best every time.

With this recipe substitute the 25% Brown Rice with the same quantity of Quinoa (this is used in many commercially available Dry Food Kibbles). We would suggest the Red Quinoa as it has a firmer texture. Once again you could substitute some of the Vegetable content from #1 and replace with Apples, Blueberries and Butternut Squash.
