Healthy and great for hyperactive dogs
This fish-based recipe is a healthy, nutritious alternative to red meat. I use frozen white fish, which is affordable and widely available (look for deals on pollock fillets in the freezer aisle). Alongside the fish, this recipe includes cabbage, mangetout, sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips for a vitamin-packed meal.
The high fibre content from the vegetables is excellent for digestion and can be particularly helpful for dogs with anal gland issues. Sweet potatoes are also a natural source of tryptophan, which can have a calming effect, making this meal a good choice for anxious, hyperactive, or 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.
