Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked, plain green beans chopped
  • 1 cup cooked, plain pumpkin puree unsweetened, not pie filling
  • 1 cup cooked, lean ground turkey or chicken plain, no seasonings
  • 1/2 cup cooked brown rice plain
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Ensure your green beans are thoroughly cooked until tender. Chop them into small, manageable pieces suitable for your dog’s chewing ability. If using canned pumpkin, make sure it’s 100% pure pumpkin puree and not ‘pie filling’ which contains spices and sweeteners that can be harmful to dogs.
