A Healthy Homemade Meal for You and Your Dog

This recipe is designed for those who want to eat healthily and want their dogs to eat healthy as well but are always on the go. This is also one of the most eco-friendly recipes we have seen. Instead of tossing things we would usually not eat such as broccoli stems, the recipe uses these as a key part of the dog’s delicious meal.

This recipe also has a bonus tip on what to do with that salmon skin that is usually thrown in the trash. “I get asked a lot if salmon skin is okay for dogs. While it is not safe if consumed raw, due to unwanted parasites, cooking in the oven for 20 minutes to make a crunchy, healthy, limited ingredient, organic, high omega dog snack that may help with heart health and give them a great skin and coat is a big win!” says Rocky.

And there is more when you cook for your dog you are more conscious of what you put in your body. For all of those reasons and more, we give this recipe four paws up!

Healthy meals are important for you and your dog but the best thing about this recipe from Rocky Kanaka is it allows you to take time out of your day to spend time with your family – two and four-legged! Read on to find out how to do it or watch Rocky as he demonstrates!
