Like most I'm sure, My dogs are my children to me and their health is of the utmost importance to me, After carefully looking into a balanced diet and making sure it is vegan and contains a lot of the much needed benefits for our pooches health and well being. This recipe varies from month to month just to change it up a bit. This is a recipe for a bulk amount approx 2-3 weeks for two dogs, 21 meals per dog, bagged up and frozen down. but you can make it to suit.

Ingredients
2 kg Frozen Mixed Vegetables
a pkt frozen or fresh Spinach ( Iron, Calcium, Vitamin A)
2 pkt Sunflower Seeds (Omega 3 fatty acids)
1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast B12 vitamins
4-5 pkt Dried Lentils (soak over night) or 6 cans in liquid drained and rinsed well (Protein, foliate and magnesium)
1 pkt Pearl Barley soaked overnight for best results
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar (helps with digestion and gas)
small amount of salt reduced Vegetable stock powder
1 cup Flax seed ground..... Ground flax seed has fiber, protein, flax hull lignans as well as Omega 3. If you don't have it try Flax oil

Bay Leaves and fresh parsley (for flavor, antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins, Lycopene and carotene's 

Instructions 
In a very large stock pot (I use a 20ltr) add Lentils and fill pot just over half full with water, Add all the other ingredients and turn on med/high till its starts to bubble slightly and turn down to a simmer leave going, It needs to cook till the lentils become soft and the barley is tender, I use freezer bags and set portions and store in the deep freezer i get out 3 nights worth and let them slowly defrost in the fridge, For us personally we have a malamute and weighs approx 40kgs we feed her about 400gms + dry biscuits and our staffy 200gms + dry Biscuits.   Enjoy!   =)
