In the early stages of growth, puppies need specific nutrients: more healthy fats, the right ratio of calcium to phosphorus, and high-quality proteins. This recipe combines lean beef, omega-3 rich sardines, and beef heart to provide energy and muscle development, complemented by sweet potato and cauliflower for fiber.
Ingredients
- 544 g of 15% fat lean ground beef
- 200 g of sardines in water (1 can and 1/4)
- 90 g of freeze-dried beef heart (or 240 g fresh)
- 80 g of chopped cauliflower
- 75 g of diced sweet potato
- 11 g of hemp oil
- 480 ml of water
- 60 g of essential nutritional mix for puppies
Instructions
- Drain the sardines, chop the cauliflower into small pieces, and dice the sweet potato.
- In a large pot, combine water and ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Add the cauliflower and sweet potato and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft and the meat is well cooked.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the sardines and cut-up beef heart. If using fresh heart, add it along with the beef at the beginning.
- Finally, add the nutritional mix and hemp oil, mixing well.
- Let cool before serving.
