Did you ever think of making your dog Beef Stew? Here is a recipe I came across and wanted to share
Making homemade dog food is a healthy alternative to buying dry or canned dog food. If you thought you’d need to buy expensive ingredients or slave over the hot stove to provide your pup a proper diet, you’ll be pleased to discover making stew for your fur kid is easy and it saves money.
Beef Stew
This dog-approved version of beef stew includes meat for protein, vegetables for vitamins, and gravy for flavor. This is a good alternative to wet commercial dog foods.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of beef stew meat
- 1 small sweet potato
- 1/2 cup of carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup of green beans, diced
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of water or organic vegetable oil, plus 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for frying
Directions
- Cook the sweet potato in a microwave for 5 to 8 minutes until firm but tender. Set aside.
- Slice the stew pieces into smaller chunks, about the size of a nickel.
- Cook the stew pieces in a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until well-done.
- Remove the beef chunks from the pan, reserving the drippings.
- Dice the sweet potato.
- Heat the drippings over medium-low heat. Slowly add flour and water into the dripping while whisking to create a thick gravy.
- Add the meat, sweet potato, carrots, and green beans into the gravy and stir to coat.
- Cook until the carrots are tender – about 10 minutes.
- Serve cool.
- Store remaining stew in the fridge for up to five days.
Pro Tip: You can purchase pre-made gravy at some health food stores. This may save you time when making this food.

Made this recipe for my Pug. Super easy to make, I cooked the meat much longer so it was really tender and I used frozen carrots and beans and a fresh sweet potato. I think the ratio of flour to water was not correct. It was too much flour and way too thick, It was like paste so I diluted the gravy with more water. It was much better. Must say the stew didn’t stand a chance. HE LOVED IT!!!!!!! Will make this again
Making stew now my Emily has Cushing disease and doesn’t want to eat but she has too before I give her the medicine.
Question is can I freeze the remainder only eats 1 cup
Yes, you can freeze the remainder. Maybe freeze it in small portions so it is available when you need only a little. I like to freeze in small ziplock back so I can thaw small amounts when needed.
