My Vegan Dog
I have a little dog, named Marley, who was rescued by my son and I at a few months of age, near death. He is quite an adorable little dog, now over 4 years old. He has suffered greatly from food allergies. We have tried every specialty brand of dog food for dogs with allergies. I won’t begin to name them here, but trust me, we have used them all. He has improved, less itching, hair re-growth and loss of bloating, with each one, but after months, the allergies seem to return with a vengeance. We have taken him to innumerable vets and done massive amount of research online. Marley is now eating home cooked vegan food and is doing better than he has done in years.
Recipe for Marley’s Food
120 grams of texturized soy protein
3 medium sweet potatoes peeled and shredded
1 carrot shredded
1 cup slivered almonds
2 T coconut oil
4 T brewers yeast or nutritional yeast
1 heaping T tumeric
