Thank you for your quick response. I plan on getting the book asap, money is REALLY tight right now…. hence the secondary factor for wanting to make my own food (health being first). I did subscribe to the newsletter. ) I think I will skip the grains altogether for now, just stick with meat and veggies.

Hi Tracey,
So glad you’re making my stew. How lucky your sweet ones are! I wouldn’t use lentils. Beans, legumes are difficult to digest. I would only consider substituting millet for the barley if you can’t find it, but it’s pretty available at the grocery store. Mixed grains are not a great choice. We don’t want to overuse grains in the diet. We want to stay pretty consistent with meats and veggies being about 50/40 or even 50/50 but if you’re adding HEALTHY grains.. please use no more than 10%. NO GRAINS for the cats. It leads to kidney problems and urinary tract problems. So.. if you stick to the 50/50 meat to veggie ratio.. all the pets can eat is. Make sure you sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t already. Lots of important information there and also please refer to my book, as it contains really important information as to what you should add or stay away from and how to make the WHOLE PET DIET really create glowing gorgeous great health! xoxox Keep us posted! Andi

I’m making my first batch of stew, added saved chicken bones and vinegar, ground turkey and chicken breast, am baking a sweet potato to add, along with frozen veggies. My question is about the grains, I realized that I don’t have any barley on hand but have a ton of lentils (husband hates lentils so I don’t use them for us). I am wondering if these would be okay to add for the dog (gonna save half for kitties) and in what proportion. I also have oats I will use as well. I do have a bag of mixed grains available too.

Hi Helen, WONDERFUL to hear you’re making your sweet babies their food! The stew should have a nice thick consistency for dogs, and remember that the healthiest part of the stew remains in the incredible broth.. (so never discard it!).. My homemade stews always turn out a little defferent, depending on the season for vegetables and where I’m getting my meats. Those ingredients always have varying moisture consistency. The main thing is that you’re giving your dogs fabulous food and that they love it! My new book, which comes out in a few weeks has a different stew formula, to ensure that the dogs get a bit thicker meal. You’re doing just fine… and very ingenious to create another batch with the leftover broth! BRAVO! Keep us all posted on their glowing great health! xox Andi

I’ve just made my first batch of stew. Can you tell me what is the right consistency. Mine is more like a thick soup and that is minus more than half the water which I removed before blending. If I left the water in, it would be a very thin soup. I was making a larger pot as I have 2 dogs and had 3x the ingredients, should I use less water?
Both my dogs ate it happily I’m just a bit worried about the end results! I’m going to add a chicken and more veg to the left over stock and make another batch.

Thanks

Helen
