The only trick with raw dog food is that you have to very careful with the freshness of the ingredients. Never feed your dog old food and carefully wash the meat and the vegetables before preparing any recipe. I am going to present you 3 raw dog food recipes that you can prepare very easily for your dog or puppy.

¼ freshly grated carrot
1 small cup of grated zucchini
½ cup of chopped broccoli

First mix the vegetables and the olive oil and then add the meat. Serve the food! Note that zucchini can help your dog lose some weight as they are low on calories.
2. Sushi Delight

2 cups of boiled white rice (you can use brown as well);

1 raw egg
Mix the rice with the carrots and the oil (you can add other veggies like grated zucchini or minced steamed broccoli). Add the raw egg and mix until you have a consistent mixture. Shape the mixture into small sushi-sized pieces. Cut the salmon into appropriate slices and place it over each rice piece. Serve the sushi!
3. Chicken Breast & Green Beans
3 cups of minced raw chicken breast
