Ingredient Notes
Chickpeas should be unsalted or the lowest sodium canned version you can find. Always rinse the chickpeas before serving.
Potatoes should have the skins removed before boiling, allowed to cool, then diced into squares. Russet potatoes work great for this recipe.
Ham tends to be very high in sodium and preservatives, so choose the lowest sodium version you can find. Ham should be used only as an occasional treat and not as a regular part of your dog’s diet.
Beef broth should be plain and unsalted.
