Kidney Beans Porridge For Dogs In Recovery

Homemade Dog Food RecipeAlthough Snowball has strong opinion about his meals, he certainly was not showing any sign of distress when I fed him Kidney Beans Porridge for a whole week. He had a temperature of 102.8 - 103.5°F last week and during which he ate and drank very little. So to replenish his protein and liquid intake, I had to whip up a dish that can do just that at one go in least amount of preparation time. Hence Kidney Beans Porridge recipe was “created.”

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of kidney beans, soak them in filtered water overnight
  • 6 cups of millet
  • 2 cups of cottage cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, organic
  • 2 tablespoon of bonemeal
  • 1/2 cup of broccoli, cut and steamed for 2 minutes
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

Methods:

  1. Bring kidney beans to a boil in 6 cup of water, then reduce heat and simmer for one hour.
  2. Boil millet in separate saucepan with 6 cups of water, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Combine both ingredient into one pot when cooking is complete.
  4. Mix in remaining ingredients, and let it cool before serving.

Special Notes: Depending the size of your dog, this recipe can serve up to a week’s meal for Snowball, Maltese. One important note is never to reheat the remaining portion everyday. Doing so, you will kill all the nutrition values in it. Store the remaining portion into individual container and heat only that portion for that day’s meal.

Just about any kind of beans or lentils can be used in place of kidney beans in this recipe. Just steer clear of canned or refried beans, as they’re nutritionally lacking and cause excess gas.

Barley or barley and oats or other grains can be used in place of the millet in this recipe.
