Cooking for your dog - Quan Yin's Immunity Stew

 

Quan Yin’s Immunity Stew   This is the recipe I cooked for our dog, Quan Yin Kali Wu who was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on her leg. She was allergic to chicken and  rice; however, you could cook organic white rice or brown and add it to this mixture. White basmati is better for dogs with loose stools. Brown rice is more warming and best used in winter or dogs prone to constipation. Quan Yin has passed over the rainbow bridge and now eats whatever she wants while chasing squirrels. 1 package of ground organic free-range no hormones turkey. (Our dog was allergic to chicken. ) You can use chicken but make sure it is organic, free range and hormone free. Most chicken and beef sold in grocery stores have been injected with estrogen and antibiotics to make them plumper. Estrogen is fertilizer for the Cancer. Steam or sauté in water a handful of shredded carrots, sweet potato, celery and parsley. Parsley is wonderful for stinky dog breath. Broccoli gave her gas but feel free to add it if you want! When the vegetables are tender, add the turkey with about a ½ cup of filtered water and cook for about 20 minutes. Keep stirring. Allow to cool. Or heat a normal meal portion in the microwave for about 30 sections. When serving this we also added a small portion of  organic canned green beans with a tad of the juice so her Mercola Mushroom Complex for pets powder, Arnica, Yunnan Bai Yao, Astragalus and any other medication or herbs can be disguised in the meal. Yummo!   She had a large organic carrot as a treat every day too. Great for stinky dog breath, good for her teeth and Vitamin A for her eyes.

Cooking for Quan Yin

Our girl, Quan Yin Kali Wu has not been doing well digesting her food since the brutal heat wave a few weeks ago. We were feeding her a combination of Taste of the Wild wet & dry food with green beans, carrots and sometimes white basmati rice. She is allergic to chicken so we used the fish based foods.

After the whole drama with the FDA blasting most of the better pet foods around, we decided to start cooking for her instead. I use to cook for my German Shepherd Merlin in his later years and he loved it.

We bought a rice cooker and have been cooking organic white basmati rice. (White rice is better for dogs with loose stools.) We add about a half of cup of the cooked rice to a combo of cooked ground turkey with carrots, celery and parsley..... and she LOVES it. No loose stools or diarrhea since the change. 

Easy peasy and it is probably more cost effective in the long run. In between meals she gets a few gluten free treats and a big organic carrot.

Four Paws Acupuncture is located on the North Shore of MA. Licensed acupuncturist, herbalist & author Jeanie Mossa MS, L.Ac. makes house-calls to Salem MA, Beverly MA and to existing patients in Marblehead MA.

Cooking for your dog

Here are a few recipes that I have used for my dog Merlin (on the right) when during his last few years. Merlin had hip dysplasia, pain, arthritis and was 13 when I started giving him acupuncture, herbs and changed his diet. During this time I was still in acupuncture college. Merlin was the inspiration to start Four Paws Acupuncture after seeing how holistic therapies helped him. He lived to be almost 15 - which is amazing for a German Shepherd!

Recipe for Merlin’s Magic Congee

Grains should be thoroughly cooked for animals, as they don’t really chew their food well. Congee is a Chinese dish made from rice, meat and vegetables that is slow cooked and easy to digest.

In a crock pot or heavy pot with lid add:

5 cups of spring or filtered (not tap) water or free-range chicken broth. (Do not use chicken broth with onions or if the dog is allergic to chicken.)

1 cup rice - White Basmati is best for summer, warm weather or dogs prone to loose stools. Brown rice best for cold weather or dogs prone to constipation.

Several pieces of frozen or fresh organic chicken or turkey.

1 cup or more of chopped or frozen veggies such as carrots, celery, sweet potato, yams, parsley, string beans.

You can add a small handful of raw tonifying Chinese herbs such as Astragalus, Dang Gui, Ginseng or Codenopsis in the congee if you are able to find these. Ask a licensed acupuncturist.

If cooking in a crock pot, set on low and cook for 4-6 hours. If using a heavy pot on the stove, set the flame or electric burner on the lowest setting, and cook for 4-6 hours.

 This recipe was given to me by Nikki's owner, Maria who cooked for Nikki and nursed her back to health.

Cooking with Oats

Here is another recipe with oats, to use on special occasions and holidays. Oats are great for relieving stress and calming a nervous dog.

Nikki’s Grateful Oats Recipe for Dogs

Boil two cups water, add one cup of quick cooking rolled oats, remove from heat, cover and passively cook for 45 min. Boil ground turkey or ground chicken about two cups drain and cool.

Steam either green beans, baby carrots or sweet potatoes with a couple cloves of fresh garlic so they are soft, let cool. Add a sprig of parsley for good breath and serve in your favorite holiday dog bowl.

Cinnamon Meatballs for Dogs

Here is a meatball recipe for your dog with warming cinnamon for those dogs affected by cold damp winter days.

NOTE: Please do not add onion to this recipe as onion is toxic for dogs.

Cinnamon Meatballs for Dogs

1/2 pound of free range/organic ground chicken or turkey

1/4 cup of shredded carrots (optional)

3 tablespoons of fresh or dried parsley (great for dog breath)

1 teaspoon of salt

1/8 cup of parmesan cheese

1 egg (leave out if the dog is allergic to chicken.)

1 tablespoon of cinnamon
