Dog Approved Beef Picadillo is a homemade recipe with no sodium and fresh ingredients

Dog Approved Beef Picadillo is Today in the Menu!

Hello, I am your Chef Bella, and today I am making a favorite of mine: dog approved beef picadillo. This homemade dog food recipe is straightforward and surely will delight your best friends’ taste buds. Because who doesn’t like a tasty beef dish. I have not met a dog that doesn’t like beef!

Chef Bella made her specialty with sweet potatoes

My mom is Mexican, so I have gotten inspiration from her picadillo recipes for humans and made it dog-friendly. When shopping at the butchers, I cannot pass a fresh sirloin, perfect for this dog-approved beef picadillo and homemade dog food.

I have added sweet potatoes for more flavor and using a tiny portion of cooking oil for a leaner dish and no salt or condiments. Dogs should eat only lean meats, not fatty ones, and no sodium. You know, we like to keep ourselves fit and healthy.

I like to serve the picadillo combined with good quality dried dog food. Just add a tablespoon of the dog approved beef picadillo, and this will make your dog’s meal irresistible.

You can prepare this recipe ahead of time and freeze it. That way, your pooch will have a dog-friendly dish to enjoy every day.

Making homemade recipes that are appropriate for our pets is a good idea to control the ingredients’ quality and be certain of what we are feeding to our best friends at home. However, before feeding homemade food to your dog, we recommend giving small amounts combined with the usual kibble your pet eats regularly.

It is also important to consider adding egg, Omega 3 for dogs, and sea meal protein for a complete nutrition. If you do not add any of those components then consider using this picadillo as a treat adding one or two spoonfuls to the regular dried food.

  1. This looks good enough focus all to eat. Well done with a delicious recipe and the cutest pictures! Is this the start of a pup cookery book I wonder?

  2. I bet dogs go crazy for that. Trying to figure out how to modify for my cats just ’cause it looks so good. I fresh feed and they love beef. Not so much potato and fattier meat and the regular supplement I use and they’d probably love it too!

    • Cooking for my dog I find it very easy and we thank you for sharing this recipe. Our cats we have four love this picadillo too. I make for them fish sometimes.

    I know my dogs would love this. I make them my own recipes and always feed homemade well-balanced meals. These are great pictures too. I wish I were a better photographer. I’m working on it though. Where did you get the little chef hat?
