FAQ

How can I substitute the turkey in this recipe?
Lean chicken or beef can work as excellent alternatives if turkey isn’t available. Just ensure that the protein is lean, cooked thoroughly, and unseasoned. Learn more about turkey here!

How should I store the holiday stew?
This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, portion it into airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

What if my dog doesn’t like brussels sprouts or cranberries?
If your pup isn’t a fan of Brussels sprouts, you can substitute them with green beans, zucchini, or spinach. Cranberries can be swapped with blueberries or diced apples (in moderation and without seeds).

What benefits do ingredients like hempseed, wheatgrass, and nutritional yeast offer?
Hempseed is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. Wheatgrass provides antioxidants and supports digestion, while nutritional yeast is a great source of B vitamins, promoting energy and a healthy metabolism.

Can dogs eat cranberries?
Yes, dogs can safely eat cranberries in moderation. They are packed with antioxidants and can support urinary health. However, avoid sweetened or dried cranberries with added sugars, and introduce them slowly to ensure your dog tolerates them well. Learn more about cranberries here!

Is this recipe safe for dogs with allergies?
This recipe avoids common allergens like wheat and dairy, but always check your dog’s specific sensitivities. If your dog has a known allergy, consult your vet before trying new recipes.
