Hi Andi,
I’m on my second batch of your homemade stew recipe. I’ve noticed that the amount seems to vary ,prob due to water content. I’d like some clarification . Could you tell me how much dry oatmeal by cup measure instead? What I have done – cook the chicken, cool, debone, remove to a bowl. Then cook the veggies & oatmeal in the broth, mush them up. Then I mix the chicken to the veggies , one cup of chicken to one cup of veggies. Is this too much meat per serving?
Hi, Unfortunately I have no way to determine what the ratio of meat to veggies is that you’re using. Please understand that the POWER is in the stew, made the way the stew is supposed to be made. Mix all the ingredients together in the pot. Cook them all together. The healing power is in the blend and the broth. Use the ratios recommended in my recipe and refer to the book for substitutions if you like. Each pet will have different needs depending on the climate, season, age, activity level, weight, etc. In my book I show you how to use your best judgement and journal. I hope you’ll get my book so you can have all the bases covered. xoxox
yeah, I found myself doing this too, because frankly, when you cook the whole chicken in with all the veggies and grains, it falls apart and you have to sort through the whole mess for bones. much easier to cook separately, but I add the broth back in. Not sure if that’s appropriate, but it seems to get the job done.
Whatever is the easiest is great. The reason I cook the whole stew together is because all the nutrients wind up in the broth. But keep up the good work, You have lucky pets! oxox
Dear Andi, I just got your book and am loving it! I made the chicken stew recipe and I just made the burger stew recipe. I have a small pom and she is reluctant to eat the burger stew and also after I add the oil, she is relunctant to eat the chicken stew. I think the smell of the oil and the smeall of the kelp which is strong in the burger stew is too strong for her. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you so much! (FYI, I was feeding a homemade diet but beause I was not sure about whether she was getting enough vitamins and minearals I decided to look for a good book and found yours – I love all the other great tips you have in it. Thank you for your help. Tracey.
Hi Tracey… so glad you wrote me. Small dogs seem to prefer a milder aroma than the larger dogs. This is something that I’m just learning myself! Let’s back off of the oils a bit and stick with the chicken stew for now. Yes.. kelp has a VERY FISHY SMELL.. lots of dogs love it and some… well – i guess they don’t! You can adapt my recipes to fit what your sweet baby loves. Make sure you stick to the formula though of 40-50% meat and the balance in veggies and you won’t go wrong. Thanks for your kind words and do keep up the great work.. You’re a terrific Mom! xoxoxo
Dear Andi,
Thanks for your amazing book! I’ve made my first batch of chicken stew for my two very picky cats and we’re on day 2 of them refusing to eat. The approved “bribes” haven’t been working. My one cat loves yogurt on its own, but he won’t go near it when it’s near the stew. The only thing that has worked so far is sprinkling a bit of dried catnip on top, which I’m worried isn’t the best idea. They lick a bit of it and then walk away. You mentioned that you’ve never heard of a cat starving itself but I’m getting a bit worried. Any advice?
Many thanks,
Stef
Hi Steph, Glad you’ve begun to take matters into your own hands. This is great. Remember that your cats have been eating commercial (possibly dry) food for a long while and they are accustomed to that. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You need to put your paw down. Have patience and persist. Have you tried adding Salmon into the stew yet? This could make all the difference in the world. See my recipe on this site for Chicken Stew. Keep us posted. You will all win in a short while! xoxoox
my dogs are allergic to chicken and eggs, what would you use instead?
I don’t believe that your dogs are allergic to chicken and eggs per se. I believe that they are sensitive to the unscrupulous ingredients in commercial pet foods and treats. If you follow my book and cook for them, you should find that there are no more allergies. Thousands of people cannot be wrong!! Keep us posted and get a copy of The Whole Pet Diet, if you haven’t already! xoxox
Quick question about using Beef instead of Chicken in the stew.
Do I use Ground Beef and then get Beef Liver to go in it? What about bones?
Also do Turkey bones splinter like chicken? The chicken bones make me very nervous especially because whenever my husband debones. I always find bones later.
Thank you!
hi
Can i give my dog fruits? like banana,oranges.etc
thanks
Fruits are not a great choice to use on a regular basis. A little bit of a bite of fruit, every here and there is ok. Most pets don’t like the sour of the orange, but could enjoy a bit of banana. Fruits ferment in the body and it’s a problem if they ingest too much. xoxo
I like the book. I have been using the recipes for Spot’s stew. My dogs love it. Looking forward to making the other recipes/treats.
Dogs Naturally magazine has a good article about coconut oil. It has been used for many things. I’m using it as an insect repellent to help prevent fleas, ticks, mites. It also expels worms. Plus, has fatty acids that help the coat and digestion. Here is one of the suggestions for adding it to the diet.
“If you make dehydrated meat, fruit or veggie treats for your dog, try tossing the raw pieces in a little coconut oil before dehydrating, for an extra flavor and health boost.

Hi Lisa… I LOVE coconut oil. I eat it. i swish with it. I use it on my hair as a conditioner and I thank you for the suggestion of the coconut oil in the treats. Keep up the great work! xox Andi
