1. Heat coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook just until the outside turns white (about 2-3 minutes). We’re not fully cooking or browning them yet – this gentle approach keeps the protein digestible for your pup.
2. Pour in the bone broth and water, then bring to a gentle simmer. Add turmeric if using. Simmer the chicken for about 10 minutes until nearly cooked through.
3. Add sweet potatoes and carrots to the pot. Return to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. The liquid should just barely cover all ingredients – add a little more water if needed.
4. Add green beans and peas, then continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until all vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. The sweet potatoes should be soft but not mushy.
5. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving to your dog. The stew will thicken as it cools to a perfect consistency.

Notes:

• For puppies or higher energy dogs, you can add an egg (cooked within the stew) for extra protein.
• Adjust vegetable sizes based on your dog’s size – smaller pieces for small breeds, larger for big dogs.
• Always introduce new foods gradually, mixing with current food for 7-10 days to prevent digestive upset.
• If your dog has known food sensitivities or health conditions, consult your veterinarian before making dietary changes.
