Tips and Notes

  • If you don't want to make this much food, you can halve the recipe because the turkey comes in a 2-pack

  • This recipe provides 5 days of food for my dog, but please see the 'how much to feed' guide to determine the appropriate amount for your own dog.

  • Wait for the food to cool to at least below 70 degrees Celsius (feels only slightly warm if you stick your finger in) before adding the fish oil and Balance IT Plus supplement. The heat can degrade the oil and vitamins.
