DAY 2 · LUNCH
White Fish & Quinoa Steam Bowl
White Fish with quinoa and gentle vegetables — a balanced midday bowl.
Lunch· 34 min total· 5 ingredients
Ingredients
- 130 g boneless white fish (rohu, basa or cod)
- 70 g quinoa (dry weight)
- 60 g mixed pumpkin and green peas
- omega-3 drizzle
- Fresh water for cooking
Portion & storage
These amounts make roughly one day of food for a ~10 kg adult dog, split across the day. As a rough guide feed 2–3% of body weight daily: a 3 kg dog ≈ 60–90 g, a 20 kg dog ≈ 300–450 g, a 30 kg dog ≈ 450–650 g. Puppies, working, pregnant or underweight dogs need more; seniors and low-activity dogs need less. Introduce any new recipe over 5–7 days, mixed into the current food. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight box and use within 2 days; serve at room temperature.
Method
- 1
Rinse 70 g quinoa well and simmer in 200 ml water for 15 minutes until the germ uncurls, then fluff.
- 2
Steam the white fish for 8–10 minutes until it flakes, checking carefully for bones.
- 3
Steam 60 g total of chopped pumpkin and green peas for 6–9 minutes until just tender.
- 4
Let everything cool to room temperature, then fold the white fish, quinoa and vegetables together.
- 5
Drizzle over ¼ tsp fish oil (or ½ tsp ground flaxseed) for skin and coat.
- 6
Serve at room temperature. Store any extra in the fridge and use within 2 days.

These are recipe ideas, not a complete daily diet plan. Every dog has different nutritional needs based on age, size, weight, breed and overall health. Use these to add variety and inspiration — introduce anything new slowly over 5–7 days, and talk to your veterinarian before making major changes, especially for puppies, seniors, pregnant dogs, or dogs with allergies or medical conditions. Never feed onion, garlic, chives, leek, grapes, raisins, chocolate, caffeine, xylitol, macadamia nuts, or cooked bones.
