We started our journey back in 2021, when the pandemic overwrote our whole lives and made our everydays too dull to bear. That’s when we took Pockety, our now 3-year-old doxie in, but little did we know we signed up for more than endless and unconditional love. Because of his dodgy background he started his life off the wrong foot already. He’s had serious health issues from the very beginning, we struggled to find the right food he can finally digest, the necessary nutritions to stop his bloating, hair loss and to cure his dry, flaking skin. We eventually succeeded, but it was and still is a long path of constant learning, which we wanted to share with everyone we could possibly help.

When we found the best dry kibble dog food for Pockety, we started cooking his own dinner to complement it. We came up with several recipes of different combinations using meat, grains, vegetables, fruits and supplements. We wrote about our experiments a little more detailed in our debut post here.

But besides your usual dog food recipes we also wanted to offer something more. We know that we are not the only ones considering our dog a family member. Therefore, often when we have a family dinner, we want to share a bite or two with the four-legged member(s) too, right? Human food is not always harmless to dogs, even if they don’t cause acute illness they can contribute to chronic diseases that develop later. That’s why we decided to share our variations of human food recipes with you, where with a few alterations, by changing/replacing/leaving out certain ingredients you can make a dog-friendly version, even while making your own. These are all tested and safe-to eat recipes, also approved by Pockety. Of course these don’t replace a dog’s daily intake of nutritions, they only suffice as occasional snacks.

We hope you’ll find something you like here, and we’d be more than happy to hear back from you if you’ve tried any of the recipes.

Enjoy your time time!
