What goes in the bowl

Ingredients

The app works out how many grams of each ingredient go into your dog's bowl.

  • Turkey breast filletAmount in the app
  • RiceAmount in the app
  • PumpkinAmount in the app

Supplements (just before feeding)

  • Salmon oil (e.g. from Lunderland)Amount in the app
  • BARF supplement powder (e.g. from Napfcheck)Amount in the app

Important for main dishes: meat, a side and vegetables alone won't cover your dog's needs in the long run. Just before feeding, add an oil and a mineral and vitamin supplement to every portion, following the instructions on the pack. You can check whether the ration as a whole is right in the Food Check.

Step by step

Method

  1. Step 1: Prepare

    • Make sure the turkey breast fillet is boneless.
    • If needed, you can remove any very tough bits or sinews beforehand.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the rice & pumpkin

    • Briefly rinse the rice in a sieve until the water is no longer quite so cloudy.
    • Deseed the pumpkin and cut it into small cubes.
    • With Hokkaido, you can often leave the skin on; other varieties are better peeled.
    • For small dogs or dogs that gulp their food, cut everything smaller so it can be eaten more safely.

    Tip: Pumpkin gives many recipes a lovely soft texture and is well tolerated by many dogs.

  3. Step 3: Put everything in the pot

    • Put the pumpkin, rice and turkey into the rice cooker pot or an ordinary saucepan.
    • Cover with water and stir once.

  4. Step 4: Cook

    • Start the rice cooker, or bring to the boil once in a pot and then keep cooking gently.
    • Check at the end: the turkey must be cooked right through, the rice soft and the pumpkin easy to mash.
    • Don't cook it with any spices, salt, oil or butter.

  5. Step 5: Portion out

    • First weigh out the turkey as specified in your recipe.
    • Then add the rice and pumpkin mixture to match.
    • If needed, you can lightly mash the cooked pumpkin with a fork.

  6. Step 6: Store

    • 3-day option: keep in portions in the fridge.
    • 10-day option: freeze in portions.
    • Thaw frozen portions slowly in the fridge.

  7. Step 7: Serve & add supplements

    • Put the portion in the bowl.
    • Add the salmon oil and the BARF/mineral/vitamin complete supplement just before feeding, following the instructions on the pack.
    • If the portion comes straight from the fridge, a small splash of hot water helps.

    Tip: If your dog hasn't had pumpkin before, start with a smaller portion and see how well they tolerate it.
