Dog food recipes that aren't just for the dogs

by Dana

We've all had days where the dogs just don't seem to want to eat. You set that can of food out and receive a look that says, "This again?' You can't say you blame them; I mean, really - you know you get tired of the same old, same old too. So, why not check out a homemade dog food recipe to give the pups a new treat that, with a few tweaks, you can share as well? Being a fan of chicken salad, as well as the owner of two finicky dachshunds, I've found that this one satisfies the whole family.

For the dog (serving size 1/2 cup):
1 cup deboned organic chicken, cooked and cooled
1 cup mixed salad greens
2 tablespoons red clover sprouts
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
In a small bowl, toss and combine the chicken, salad greens, sprouts and olive oil. Transfer to serving dishes and top with the yogurt before serving.

Once you've finished serving the dogs, add these ingredients to make a tasty treat for yourself:
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup apples, cut in chunks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of ground pepper
You may also want to add a bit more yogurt for your serving. Mix all ingredients well, sit back and enjoy your lunch with the pup!
