Packed with omega-3 fatty acids for a lustrous coat and healthy skin. This recipe is especially beneficial for dogs with dry skin, allergies, or dull coats.
Peel and cube sweet potatoes into 2cm pieces. Steam or boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Alternatively, microwave for 8-10 minutes.
Cut salmon into chunks. Steam, bake (180°C for 12-15 mins), or poach in water until cooked through and flaky. Remove any remaining bones carefully.
Cut green beans into small pieces. Steam for 5-6 minutes until tender but still bright green. This preserves maximum nutrients.
Mash sweet potatoes slightly. Mix with flaked salmon, green beans, and blueberries. Add coconut oil and kelp if using. Let cool before serving. Store in fridge for up to 4 days.
Always use fresh, high-quality salmon. Never feed raw salmon to dogs as it can contain parasites. Ensure all bones are removed before serving.

Create Custom Recipe →Whole food recipes are a strong foundation — but three steps are non-negotiable for long-term nutritional completeness, per NRC (National Research Council) 2006 guidelines, the gold standard for homemade dog food.
Meat is very high in phosphorus and very low in calcium. Without correction the body pulls calcium from bones. Add ¼ tsp ground eggshell powder per serving, stirred in cold after cooking (≈900 mg calcium per ½ tsp). This corrects the Ca:P ratio to the NRC target of ~1.2:1.
Unless this recipe already includes fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel), stir in ½–1 tsp salmon or sardine oil per serving after cooling. Never heat the oil — it destroys DHA and EPA. Dogs cannot convert plant omega-3 (ALA) to usable EPA/DHA at meaningful rates.
Beef liver covers copper, zinc, selenium, vitamin D and B12 — the micronutrients most commonly missing from home-cooked meals. Use 30–40g per 10 kg body weight, 2–3× per week. Do not exceed 10% of total food intake — vitamin A toxicity is a real risk with too much liver.
For complete peace of mind, add a calibrated dose of Balance IT Canine once per batch. Developed by UC Davis veterinary nutritionists, it fills remaining gaps for manganese, selenium, magnesium, iodine and vitamins not easily provided by whole foods alone. Follow the label dose for your dog's weight exactly.
