• ½ cup steamed carrots (finely diced or pureed)

  • Health benefit: Rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A) for vision and immune health.

• ½ cup steamed green beans (finely chopped)

  • Health benefit: Low-calorie source of fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants.

• 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed (optional)

  • Health benefit: High in omega-3 fatty acids for a shiny coat and healthy skin.

  • Health benefit: Supports skin and coat health and provides healthy fats.

DIRECTIONS

1. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat.

2. Rinse and cook quinoa according to package instructions.

3. Steam the carrots and green beans until just soft, careful not to over cook them as they will lose the all important nutrients for your dog. Dice or puree them for easy mixing.

4. In a large bowl, mix the cooked beef, quinoa, steamed vegetables, flaxseed (if using), and olive oil. Stir well to combine.

5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the topper to your dog’s regular meal, adjusting based on size and dietary needs.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze in portion-sized amounts for up to 1 month.
