Food ingredients
  
  • Pork loin roast – 1 cup shredded and trimmed of fat
  • Sweet potato – 1 cup boiled and mashed
  • Green beans – 1/2 cup steamed and chopped
  • Rolled oats – 1/2 cup cooked soft
  • Filtered water or light broth – as needed for moisture
Operation steps
 
  • Roast and prepare the pork
  • Trim any visible fat from the pork loin before cooking to keep the bowl naturally lean. Roast it in the oven at a moderate temperature until fully cooked and fork tender. Once cooled slightly, shred the meat into small, even strands so your dog can chew comfortably. If the meat feels dry, drizzle in 1–2 tablespoons of warm water to restore moisture.
  • Cook the sweet potato and oats
  • Boil peeled sweet potato chunks until they mash easily with a fork, creating a smooth base that gives the bowl structure and gentle sweetness. In a separate pot, cook rolled oats with extra water so they finish soft and slightly porridge-like. This texture helps the meal stay moist, reduces digestive effort, and supports steady fullness for weight management.
  • Steam the green beans
  • Lightly steam chopped green beans until bright and tender. They should keep their shape but break apart easily. Green beans add fiber volume without many calories, helping the bowl feel hearty while remaining appropriate for lean diets. Once cooked, drain well to avoid excess water altering final consistency.
  • Combine everything into a balanced bowl
  • Add the shredded pork, mashed sweet potato, soft-cooked oats, and steamed green beans into one mixing bowl. Pour in small splashes of filtered water or broth until the texture becomes soft and cohesive, not dry or sticky. Mix thoroughly so each scoop contains balanced protein, fiber, and carbs. Let the meal cool fully before serving or dividing into storage containers.
note
If you don’t want to cook daily, check our dry food picks — those were Ethan’s daily backups.
For extra moisture control, add small splashes of warm water right before serving. Green beans can be replaced with chopped zucchini for dogs needing even lower calorie density. Store cooled portions in shallow containers to chill quickly and maintain ideal texture.
