Looking for nutritious and easy-to-make meals for your furry friend? Discover these 5 simple homemade dog food recipes with spinach that are packed with vitamins and tailored to keep your pup happy and healthy. Let’s bring natural goodness to their bowl!
Have you ever felt judged by your own dog? Because Luna’s side-eye game is next-level. One evening, as I set down her usual dinner, she sighed. Sighed. The drama. That was her not-so-subtle way of saying, “Mom, we need to talk about your cooking.”
That’s when I decided to step up my game. I’m no chef, but hey, if I can scramble eggs without burning down the kitchen, I can probably make something Luna would actually enjoy.
Why Spinach?
It wasn’t my first choice, to be honest. I thought spinach was more of a “Popeye thing,” but it turns out, it’s like a power smoothie for dogs—loaded with iron, vitamins, and all those good vibes. Plus, it’s got this earthy smell that Luna seems to love. Or maybe she just likes green food because it makes her feel fancy. Who knows?
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup rice: White or brown, but let’s not kid ourselves—Luna prefers the “bougie” brown stuff.
- 1/2 cup chicken, boiled and shredded: I mean, who doesn’t love chicken?
- 1/4 cup steamed spinach: Pro tip: chop it finely, so your dog doesn’t feel like they’re chewing through a forest.
- A drizzle of olive oil: Because Luna deserves to shine, inside and out.
Steps That Even I Can Follow:
- Cook the rice. Not too mushy, not too dry—channel your inner Goldilocks.
- Boil the chicken while your dog circles the kitchen like a shark.
- Steam the spinach. If you can handle multi-tasking, more power to you.
- Mix everything together, let it cool, and serve. Luna says, “Don’t skip the cooling part, unless you’re into hot-dog drama.”
Did It Work?
Let’s just say, Luna licked the bowl so clean I wondered if I forgot to serve her dinner. She even gave me that proud, approving look—like I’d just won Dog Mom of the Year.
Here’s the funny part: I’ve started eating spinach more myself now. Not because of any health kick, but because, well… it’s in the house. The other day, I made an extra batch of this doggy meal, seasoned it up (no garlic for Luna, of course), and ate it for lunch. We’re practically food buddies now.
