1. How much of this should I feed my dog?

This depends on your dog's age, weight, and activity level. A general starting point is to feed about ½ cup for every 25 lbs of body weight, twice a day. Adjust as needed and always monitor your dog's body condition.

2. Can I use different vegetables?

Yes! You can swap the green beans for peas or the sweet potato for pumpkin puree. Just be sure to use dog-safe vegetables. If your dog has a sensitive stomach.

3. Can I use beef or turkey instead of chicken?

Absolutely. Lean ground beef or ground turkey are fantastic substitutes. If using ground meat, you may want to brown it first to drain off excess fat.

4. Can I use frozen chicken?

It's generally recommended to thaw chicken before putting it in a slow cooker to ensure it cooks evenly and safely.
