Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?

You bet! Dogs can enjoy a lot of different veggies. Things like green beans, broccoli (in moderation!), or even a little bit of spinach are usually safe and add extra nutrients. Just make sure to cook them plain and chop them up small. Always best to check with your vet if you're thinking about adding a new veggie, especially if your dog has a sensitive stomach. If you're curious about specific breeds that might enjoy veggie-rich meals, you might find this info on Pembroke Welsh Corgis interesting, though do check with your vet for any breed-specific dietary needs!

Is this recipe suitable for puppies?

This recipe is fantastic for adult dogs, but for puppies, it's a bit trickier. Puppies have very specific nutritional needs as they grow, and while this is healthy food, it might not be perfectly balanced for a growing pup. I'd chat with your veterinarian before feeding this to a puppy to make sure they're getting everything they need. They might have some great advice!

How do I know if my dog likes it?

Oh, trust me, you'll know! Most dogs go absolutely bonkers for this salmon and sweet potato combo. Watch their reaction when you put the bowl down. Are they eagerly digging in? Is their tail wagging a mile a minute? Are they licking the bowl clean? If you answered yes to any of those, then they definitely approve! Buster usually starts doing a little happy dance when he smells it cooking.

What if my dog has allergies?

This is where homemade food shines! Since you control all the ingredients, you can easily avoid allergens. If your dog can't have salmon, maybe try a different plain-cooked fish like cod, or even plain cooked chicken or turkey. If sweet potatoes are an issue, mashed pumpkin is often a good alternative. The most important thing is to consult your vet before making any changes, especially if you suspect allergies.

Can I omit the rice from this recipe?

You can, but it will change the texture and might make it a bit looser. Brown rice adds a nice body and fiber to the food. If you need to omit it, perhaps you could replace it with a cooked grain like quinoa or even a bit more mashed sweet potato or pumpkin, but again, talk to your vet to ensure the meal remains nutritionally balanced for your dog.
