U-Stew Homemade Cooked Dog Food

U-Stew Homemade Dog Food is a human grade dry ingredient pre-mix for preparing a balanced canine cooked meat diet for all life stages. No grains of any kind are used as fillers. Just add water and cooked meat.

Preparing a balanced  home-cooked meal for dogs can be a challenge.  It requires time, motivation and a thorough understanding of the nutritional requirements of the companion dog.  These requirements must factor in the six main aspects of the essential nutrient profile, which are: water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins.  If these essential nutrients are not present in the dog's meal plan, and if they are not in balance, less-than-optimal health can result.

There is considerable debate regarding raw vs. cooked dog food. Over the past several years of listening to our customers' concerns and questions, we have concluded that we must make a product that satisfies the customers who are simply not comfortable with feeding raw meat.  The result is a formulation that enhances the cooked meat to such an extent that it replaces the nutritional deficit (caused by cooking) with sufficient supplementation.  We have added digestive enzymes for stomach and intestinal health; taurine for enhancing the natural levels already found in the meat and essential fatty acids from fish.

U-Stew was developed because we believe that feeding a home-prepared diet to our canine companions is the most nutritious and most
palatable choice we can make.  The caregiver simply has more control over the dietary needs of their companion animal.

U-Stew can be used as supplemental to almost any kind of meat, including poultry, beef, pork, wild game, or the more exotic meats (excluding organ meats).

This is a dog food that is home prepared by the pet caregiver and affords you complete control of your dog's diet. As with so many things in life, effort is directly related to reward.

Preparation of U-Stew

U-Stew is designed to be combined with water, cooked meat, and optional vegetables in the amounts and proportions stated in our literature. It is not a food for dogs on its own nor meant to be a sprinkle-on vitamin supplement. No additional supplementation is necessary when feeding this meat based diet. All other dog foods should be removed from the dog's meal plan, including dry food.

Preparation for a 3 lb batch of food is simple and only requires combination of:

½ cup U-Stew
1 ½* cups water
2lb(900g) meat - your choice(ground or chopped).
½lb (225g) vegetables, chopped and steamed (vegetables are optional).

For convenience, make larger batches and freeze.

(* Add more water if desired - especially when preparing the food using ground meat.)

Cook desired amount and type of meat as you would your own. Let it cool to room temperature.

Pour the cold water into a bowl, add U-Stew powder, and whisk immediately into the water.
The product will create a semi-gelatinous texture within a few minutes.
Thoroughly, but gently combine your choice of meat and, if desired, vegetables with the moistened mixture.
Divide into serving sizes based on the weight of your dog - 1/2lb for a 20-25lb dog, 1lb for a 50-60 lb dog, 2lb for a 100lb dog.
Freeze the finished product immediately for storage. Thaw as needed.
Thaw frozen dog food by warming to room temperature in a warm water bath before serving and remove un-eaten food within 30 minutes to be refrigerated. Do not leave the food out at room temperature.
Avoid microwaving on a regular basis.

The dog food food will keep fresh for 24 hours once thawed and refrigerated.
