🍲 Holistic Dog Recipes

The same home-cooked, organic meals we feed our Havanese every single day. Made with love, just like everything we do.

I have been cooking for my dogs for years. It started because I wanted to know exactly what was going into their bodies — and once I saw how they thrived, I never went back to commercial food alone. These recipes are simple, nutritious, and your Havanese will absolutely love them.

🍗 Kate's Classic Chicken & Rice

⏱ Prep: 10 min 🔥 Cook: 30 min 🐾 Serves: 4–5 days for a small dog

The staple of our kitchen. Simple, gentle on the tummy, and absolutely loved by every dog we've ever raised. Perfect for puppies transitioning to home food or dogs with sensitive stomachs.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (organic preferred)
  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 1 cup sweet potato, diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup green beans, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 4 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Boil chicken in water or broth until fully cooked (about 20 minutes). Remove and shred.
  2. Add rice, sweet potato, and carrots to the broth. Cook until tender (about 15 minutes).
  3. Add green beans in the last 5 minutes.
  4. Mix in shredded chicken and coconut oil. Let cool completely before serving.
  5. Store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze in portions.
Kate's Tip: I always add a sprinkle of diatomaceous earth (food grade) to meals — it's a natural supplement that supports gut health and keeps parasites away naturally.

🥩 Beef & Vegetable Stew

⏱ Prep: 15 min 🔥 Cook: 45 min 🐾 Serves: 5–6 days for a small dog

Rich in protein and iron. Our dogs go absolutely crazy for this one. Great for adult dogs and puppies over 4 months.

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 cup butternut squash, cubed

  • 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup blueberries (antioxidant boost!)
  • 1 tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  1. Brown ground beef in a large pot. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add water, rice, and squash. Bring to a boil then simmer 20 minutes.
  3. Add peas and spinach, cook 5 more minutes.
  4. Stir in turmeric and blueberries. Let cool before serving.
Note: Never use onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or xylitol in dog food. Always check that all ingredients are dog-safe.

🐟 Salmon & Sweet Potato Bowl

⏱ Prep: 10 min 🔥 Cook: 25 min 🐾 Serves: 3–4 days for a small dog

Omega-3 rich for a gorgeous, silky coat. We rotate this in once or twice a week. Your Havanese's coat will absolutely shine!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb wild-caught salmon (boneless)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup broccoli, chopped small
  • 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1 tbsp fish oil (optional — extra omega boost)
  • 3 cups water

Instructions

  1. Poach salmon in water until cooked through (about 10–12 minutes). Flake and remove any bones.
  2. Boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Steam broccoli and zucchini until soft.
  4. Combine everything, add fish oil if using. Cool completely before serving.
Kate's Tip: Rotate proteins! Chicken one week, beef the next, salmon the week after. Variety keeps your dog healthy and prevents food sensitivities.
