Dogs are one of the most common pets in the country, with at least 50 million families in the country owning dogs. When you own more than one dog, your monthly dog food expenses can shoot right through the roof. So, here are some easy homemade healthy dog food recipes that you can prepare at home.

• Turkey and brown rice
  Add one pound of ground turkey, 2 cups of brown rice, and vegetables of your choice to a large pot or a cooker. Add 6-8 cups of water and let the ingredients boil. If you are using a pot, close it with a lid and let the rice and turkey cook (20-30 minutes). If you are using a cooker, let the ingredients cook until the water evaporates. You can serve the food fresh or freeze it for a couple of days.
• Beef and pork vegetable rice
  This amazing recipe is a winner and is a great homemade healthy dog food that you can serve multiple times a week. Add a pound of ground pork and beef into a crockpot and mix in some peeled potatoes, carrots, and spinach. Mix in 2 cups of rice and add 6-8 cups of water. Let the meat and the rice cook along with the vegetables. Once the rice is mushy, and the meat is done, you can take the pot off the heat. Pack these in airtight containers and throw them in the freezer.
• Beef and pumpkin stew
  A simple yet hearty homemade healthy dog food that your dog will love is beef and pumpkin stew. Cook small pieces of beef in vegetable oil until it is well-done.
