There’s nothing quite like home cooking to bring
a smile to your face – and a wag to the tail of
your dog! I’ve specially designed all of these
recipes – with a little help from a certain dog – so they are easy for you to cook at home for your dog, and I’ve made sure they’re all really healthy and totally tasty.

There are everyday meals, which you can feed along with your dog’s Joe & Jack’s, and special meals for those one-off occasions such as doggy birthdays – and even some recipes designed for elderly dogs and dogs with health problems such as diabetes.

If you and your dog enjoy trying out some of these recipes, don’t forget to look out at our complete book range

Meals for older dogs

White Fish and Rice

Dog food doesn’t get much healthier than this, and the added coriander will help tickle the older dog’s taste buds. It’s got a moderate level of protein, which is all highly digestible, meaning less work for the kidneys.

To feed a couple of hungry hounds, you will need:

  • 250g white fish fillet
  • 300ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander
  • 125g brown rice

Put the rice on to cook as brown rice takes a good half an hour. Then cover the fish with the milk, bring to the boil and then remove from the heat, allowing the fish to cook in hot milk for about five minutes.

Then remove the fish from the milk and crumble it into a dish with the lemon juice and oil. Mix in the cooked and drained rice and finally add the chopped up coriander.

Old Dog Power Juice

There’s no doubt that fresh fruit and veg help to keep old age at bay – lots of studies have proved that eating plenty of fruit and veg reduces the risk of all sorts of diseases including cancer. Getting a dog, especially an old boy, to eat down a plate of fruit and veg is nigh on impossible – which is why I’ve come up with this cunning recipe for a revitalising juice drink which old dogs will love. Feed this once a week, and you’ll keep him fighting fit for years to come!

  • 100g chicken liver
  • 300g assorted fruit and veg – anything you have to hand (except onions, tomatoes and mushrooms)

Put the liver in a small bowl and pour over just enough boiling water to cover. Let it stand for ten minutes.

Meanwhile, chuck all the veg and fruit into the blender. Anything goes here –  apples, plums, cabbage, courgettes, carrots – as long as it’s fruit or veg and it’s not an onion, tomato or mushroom, in it goes. Whiz it all up to make a thick puree. Then add in the liver, complete with its water. Blend together, adding more water if necessary, until you have a thick drink. Pour a reasonable amount into the dog bowl and watch her slurp it up. You can freeze the rest if you have some left over.
