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.

Our ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 3 parsnips
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 whole cabbage
  • 300g (1 1/4 cups) of mangetout
  • 2kg (2.2 lbs)of frozen white fish
  • 1 bag of couscous

How to store

As a general guide if meat protein is present in recipe then it will last around 3 to 5 days stored in a cool place.  If it has second class protein in it eg. cheese, lentils, eggs, etc, then they will store for about 10 days in a cool place. If there is no meat or second class proteins present then it will last around 3 weeks before they go soft like human biscuits.
