Pork belly and liver recipe
Cost cutting dog food!
Not knowing exactly what I was going to buy I went to Morrisons today to get some things to make more dog food. My dog Ruby has been on the homemade dog food straight for a few weeks and her coat is already full and lush and her eyes sparkle!
So in the supermarket today I went over to the ‘still fresh’ shelves in the veg department and found some half price Brussels sprouts, half price mangetout then picked up some potatoes and a pack of macaroni then headed to the sell off shelves in the fridge section and found some pork belly and a packet of liver! So that was a great start and at home I had some old but still good parsley in the fridge.
So lets get cooking!
Recipe:
The pork belly still had ribs on it so I cut them from the meat and put them in the freezer to be fed raw another day. With the meat I diced and chucked it in the dog pot!
I threw in the sprouts
I then added the mangetout
I then added the potatoes and remembered to also add the diced liver!
I then added the rest of the parsley that was in the fridge!
So…(take a breath)..that’s the first part over with! I now then added a couple of pints of water and brought the pot to the boil. Once it was boiling I then…
…added the macaroni and gave it a right good stir letting it cook for another 10-15 mins till it was cooked through!
That’s it now cooked. It looks and smells brilliant! Wonder if Ruby wants some?
“I want some!”
I put some aside for Ruby and bagged the rest and chucked in the freezer!
Pork belly and liver….Done!

I was just wondering how much you give the dog ? I have a golden retriever who is 12 with arthritis and was trying to make homemade food to see if it would help any.
Bev (our dietitian) has clumber spaniels which are around 36kg for each dog so I guess that’s a similar weight to your retriever. If you look at this recipe here Bev splits that dinner into 10 (and places an apple on each meal) each enough for a 36g dog.
