Need to cover - Vegdog’s One Pot - a pot for all skins!

Our new wholesome recipe with sustainable protein sources that's easy to cook!

Cooking fresh food every day... Do you also make a point of doing this regularly because it offers so many benefits? Just don't have enough time?

It's healthy not only for us humans, but also for our four-legged friends. It gives us the opportunity to individually determine what ends up in the bowl. This is also practical for people with allergies or for dogs who are very picky about their food. When we cook our own food, we control every ingredient ourselves.

In addition, we do not have to rely on the statements of various feed manufacturers about the composition of their products and can see for ourselves where the demand is met.

There's one downside to doing the cooking yourself, though... It takes time. It's not enough to just empty the contents of a can or bag into a bowl. You have to soak, chop, cook, and puree. These days, it's sometimes difficult to find the necessary time.

For this reason, today we have come up with a recipe where almost all the ingredients end up in one pot – VEGDOG'S ONE POT :)! All you have to do is weigh everything. Most of it will then be cooked together and pureed if necessary.

Necessary ingredients and daily ration in grams:

QUANTITY CALCULATION EXAMPLE:
The amount is calculated according to the different weight classes. A small dog needs z.B. in relation to body weight more than a large dog. You should always orient yourself on the amount of highest, weight class specified by us. If your z.BIf your dog weighs 6 kg, you should use the 10 kg weight class. If your dog weighs 32 kg, for example, you should use the 25 kg weight class, as that is the highest weight class we specify.

Here is a Calculation example for you if your dog z.B. 32 kg Weighs: The highest weight class listed is 25kg, so this is your required reference intake. A 25kg dog needs 100g of chickpeas daily. Therefore, a 1kg dog in the 25kg weight class needs 100g/25kg = 4g of chickpeas per kg of body weight. A 32kg dog then needs 4g x 32 = 128g of chickpeas per day. You do this calculation with all the ingredients. I hope we were able to help you.

For preparation
Cooking vegetables

Weigh the peas, vegetables, lentils, and couscous. Follow our instructions for the individual weight categories.

Peasfrom the freezer section are particularly suitable.VegetablesIt's best to look for regional and seasonal organic produce (but this is not a must, of course).

Put the above ingredients in a pot, pour water over them, and cook until they are really soft. We haveabout one hourused and meanwhile prepared the remaining ingredients, as well as working on new products for you in the home office 🙂

ATTENTION – THIS MUST NOT BE PUT IN THE POT:Remember that onions, eggplants, tomatoes and peppers are not suitable for dogs sind.Statt For example, we recommend adding zucchini, broccoli, various types of cabbage, carrots, fennel and celery.

From the dry ingredients, we conjured up a topping that landed like a cap on our “pot” in the final step. For this, wethe oil mixed with the powder and herbs(for a creamy consistency, some water may need to be added) and thechopped nutsenclosed.

Poisonous herbs

The question often arises as to which herbs you can safely use for your furry friends. Generally speaking, the answer is: almost all! And the great thing about it is that each herb has a different, positive effect on the organism. Only a few herbs and spices are generally discouraged. These include Kgarlic granules, onion powder, pepper and nutmeg.

Some ingredients only have a negative effect in certain medical conditions.

So Rosemary, for example, is not recommended for epileptics be fed as it can trigger seizures.

Generally as Pregnant bitches are at risk when it comes to herbs Due to their potential labor-inducing effects, they should not be given sage, parsley, coriander, or dill.

We recommend that you inform yourself well in advance or contact us.

Healthy Herbs

Some herbs can be given to any dog ​​without hesitation.

This is how basil anti-inflammatory and digestive.

Watercress stimulates the appetite and contains important minerals and trace elements and nettle has long been known as a good detoxifying agent.

Please keep in mind that you first need to find out whether your four-legged friends like the new ingredients. So add small amounts first. Often dried herbs better accepted than fresh ones.

Nuts

Once you have decided on the herb that suits you best, you will need to decide on the types of nuts you want to use in this recipe.

Here, too, you have a wide selection to choose from. However, one warning: Nuts (especially peanuts) can be potentially allergenic, so test carefully (do not try large quantities or different varieties at once).

Nuts generally contain high-quality fatty acids and various minerals and trace elements. You can choose between Hazelnuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, and pistachios. Your chestnuts, too You can share them with your pets. These are particularly tolerant.

Poisonous Nuts

Absolutely avoid giving Macadamia nuts, bitter almonds (sweet almonds are allowed) and black walnuts, as there is a risk of poisoning!

Once you've selected your ingredients and mixed your topping, there's not much left to do. It's recommended to puree the ingredients in a pot to improve digestibility. Once everything has cooled, add the mineral mix to avoid damaging the delicate vitamins.

It took us no longer to prepare this meal than it does to open a can. How are you doing? We'd love to hear your feedback!

Basic and important points to consider when cooking at home:

1. Process vegetables
You can be very flexible and creative when choosing vegetables. We recommend using regional and seasonal produce. The general rule for preparing vegetables is: Whatever you eat raw, your dog can also eat raw. Anything you have to cook yourself should also be cooked for your dog.

For example, you can feed raw: Carrots, cucumber, lettuce, zucchini, kohlrabi, pumpkin

Should be cooked: Spinach (only small amounts!), broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts

You can puree, grate, or roughly chop the raw vegetables. The more finely they are processed, the better the vitamins are available for digestion. In general, however, all recipes also meet the needs if you feed the vegetables in large pieces. This creates more fullness in the stomach. This (sometimes visually psychological) effect is particularly positive for dogs who are constantly hungry. Furthermore, the increased fiber content provides food for the important intestinal bacteria.

Since cabbage can cause bloating even when cooked, you should start with small portions and increase this meal by meal.

Spinach contains oxalic acid. Small amounts are permitted for healthy adult dogs on occasion. Puppies, young dogs, and dogs with disabilities should not eat spinach.

Conventional vegetables should always be washed thoroughly before processing—especially if they are fed with the skin on. Alternatively, we recommend using organic products.

You can alternate the different vegetables as you wish.

We recommend considering the preferences of your four-legged friends 🙂

Danger: Onions, garlic, eggplant, peppers and tomatoes should NOT be fed.

2. Add fruit cooked or raw
Fruit can also be combined and varied – depending on what your dog tolerates. Suitable are z.B. Apples, oranges, bananas, raspberries, strawberries, melonsYou don't need to worry about the fructose it contains. This won't lead to obesity if fed fresh fruit. However, for obese animals, the amount of banana should be kept to a minimum, and dried fruit should be avoided if possible. This has a higher calorie content and can also lead to flatulence and diarrhea. Fruit seeds should be removed, as they contain hydrogen cyanide. enthalten.Bitte Wash the fruit thoroughly before feeding. Here, too, you can let your imagination run wild when preparing it – from chopped to grated to smoothie – anything that's fun is allowed.
