Tuna & Sweet Pea Mash for Dogs

🐾 Max’s Favorite Homemade Dog Food for Energy & Digestion: Tuna & Sweet Pea Mash 🐟🌿

If you’ve ever watched your dog stare at you with those “feed me now, human!” eyes, you know the struggle of finding a meal that’s both nutritious and tail-wag-approved. Enter Max, my ever-hungry Labrador, and his new obsession: my Tuna & Sweet Pea Mash — a wholesome, gentle, and omega-rich homemade dog food that’s perfect for sensitive stomachs and shiny coats alike. 🐶💙


From Chaos to Calm: How Max Inspired This Recipe

Every evening, Max would circle the kitchen like a furry helicopter, nose twitching at every suspicious sound. Dry kibble? Meh. Store-bought wet food? Sometimes okay, sometimes… well, let’s just say he left the bowl half full in protest. That’s when I realized: if I wanted a dog meal that really fueled his energy and supported his digestion, I’d have to DIY.


Cue my kitchen adventures: a can of tuna here, some sweet peas there, and a little experiment with mashed potato and coconut oil. The result? A meal Max devoured like a champion — with zero tummy troubles. And I swear, his coat got shinier by the week. ✨🐾


🥄 Easy & Delicious Homemade Dog Meal: Tuna & Sweet Pea Mash

This isn’t just any dog food — it’s an easy and delicious homemade dog meal packed with nutrients for energy, digestion, and coat health.


Ingredients:

  • 🐟 1 can tuna in water (drained, unsalted)
  • 🌿 ¼ cup boiled green peas
  • 🥔 ½ small potato (boiled and mashed)
  • 🥕 1 tbsp grated carrot (optional)
  • 🥥 1 tsp coconut oil

  • Supports shiny coat and healthy digestion
  • Quick, simple, and made with love


Honestly, watching Max dig in for the first time was priceless — he practically gave me a standing ovation. 🐶👏 And the best part? It’s homemade dog food for energy, digestion, and even picky eaters who think they’ve “tasted it all.”
