1.Cooking Lentils and Vegetables

The rule for feeding your dog vegetables is that anything you as a human can consume in its raw form, your dog may eat raw as well. Everything that you have to cook for yourself, should also be cooked for your dog. For example, these vegetables can be given raw: carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, ripe tomatoes, ripe peppers, courgettes, pumpkin.

These should be cooked: sweetcorn, fennel, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, aubergines, potatoes.

Please pay attention to washing vegetables thoroughly, especially when feeding it unpeeled. Many dog owners prefer to use organic vegetables wherever possible. You can easily swap and change all different types of vegetables, however, be aware that pulses and sweetcorn contain starch and therefore more calories.

The tolerance of vegetables depends on the individual dog. For instance, peas and beans contain oligosaccharides, which metabolise in the gut into short-chained fatty acids. In large quantities these can cause diarrhoea and bloating. It’s best to try out different types of vegetables to find out what agrees with your dog and which taste he likes best.

How you prepare the vegetables is up to you: You can cut them into small chunks, grate, mix, boil or steam them, and possibly puree them after boiling. Try boiled carrots with fussy dogs. Chopped, grated and boiled vegetables are easier to digest. The vegetables should be boiled carefully and only for a short time, on order to best preserve the water-soluble vitamins. Once cooled down, a little of the water the vegetables were boiled in can be poured over the food.

Adding raw or cooked Fruit

Depending on what your dog tolerates, a number of different fruits can be used, either combined or alternated. Apples, pears, bananas, oranges, raspberries, strawberries and melons are particularly suitable. You don’t have to worry about fructose, it does not cause excess weight when fresh fruit is fed. For overweight dogs, bananas are only recommended in small quantities and you should omit dried fruit if possible, as it has a higher calorie content due to the sugars and can cause bloating and diarrhoea. Pips and stones should always be removed as they contain hydrocyanic acid. Again, wash all fruit thoroughly, before feeding it to your dog. You can use your imagination as to how to prepare the fruit, chopped, grated or as a smoothie, anything fun and nutritious is allowed.

Poisonous fruit and vegetables

There are so many suitable types of fruit and vegetables out there, however, there are some which are poisonous to dogs and must not be fed.

Vegetables: Leeks, Onion, Garlic

Fruit: Grapes and Raisins

Finally, mix all ingredients and serve!

SNACK – VEGDOG MUESLI BAR KEEPING YOUR DOG FIT!

A healthy snack to supply your dogs with all the power and energy they need during the warmer days – how great is that! And of course, it’s quick and easy to prepare at home. It provides your dog with many essential vitamins and the ideal amount of carbohydrates in between mealtimes.

INGREDIENTS

30 g crushed vegan dog biscuits (or coconut flour)
1 ripe banana OR 1 carrot (grated) and 1 apple (grated)
2 tbsp peanut butter (unsalted)
1 ½ tbsp blueberries (crushed)
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds (chopped)
150 g oats
125 g apple sauce (unsweetened)

Try to use organic produce whenever possible.

Apples: Very gentle on the stomach and full of fibre. They have a natural sweetness which makes the bars really tasty.

Bananas: Provide carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium, ensure a certain sweetness and give the snack its texture.

Carrots: Especially known for their high Vitamin A content, but also provide B-vitamins and Vitamin C. Natural colourant which give the bars a lovely orange-brown colour.

Blueberries: Contain iron, potassium and vitamin C

Pumpkin seeds: Contain many unsaturated fatty acids and supply protein and carbohydrates, while giving the bars a certain CRUNCH.

Oats: provide carbohydrates and minerals (especially magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc) as well as Vitamins. Oats have a higher Vitamin B1 and B6 content than any other types of grains.

Peanut Butter: Source of fibre, protein and vitamin E, gives the bars a nutty flavour.

Apple Sauce: Just like apples, apple sauce is very gentle on the stomach and rich in fibre. Very suitable to moisten the dry ingredients to form a dough with a sweet aroma.

PREPARATION

Preheat your oven to 180 Degrees (Gas Mark 4) or to 160 Degrees for fan assisted ovens. Cover a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Squash the banana, or alternatively grate the apple and carrot and squeeze out the juice. Chop the pumpkin seeds and crush any of the vegan dog biscuits you may have. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Spread the mixture evenly and approximately 1.5cm deep on to the lined baking tray. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the surface turns lightly brown. Leave to cool and cut into even bars (a pizza cutter works well). You can also form individual bars before baking, whatever works best for you.

Please feed the muesli bars only once they have cooled down and dried properly, and not more than one bar per day, as these snacks contain a lot of carbs. If stored in an airtight container, they will keep for about three weeks.

Happy baking! And by the way, when baked with coconut flour instead of vegan dog biscuits they make a tasty treat for humans too!
