Healthy and great for hyperactive dogs
This is a great alternative to using red meat. You can get cheap white fish in the supermarkets if you look in the freezer section. As of writing this recipe Asda are doing a deal where you can buy two 1kg bags of frozen Pollock fillets for just £6.
We are using cabbage and mangetout but you can also try cabbage and kale, along with those ingredients we are also using sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips.
Because this recipe is high in fibre it is excellent for dogs who have problems with their anal glands and helps keep them regular and the sweet potatoes are a natural soporific, so are good for hyperactive, anxious and nervous dogs.

This recipe falls short on calcium and vit e. If you feed a fish based diet you need to add vit e, I add calcium carbonate and hemp seed oil. I also feed dried spratts, shellfish, prawns, mussels, squid ect. and add dried seaweed.
