Prepare the Green Beans: Steam or boil the green beans until they are tender. Chop them into small pieces.

Simmer: Place the pot over medium heat and allow the stew to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the stew reaches your desired consistency.
Serve: Allow the beef and pumpkin stew to cool down to a suitable temperature before serving it to your dog. Ensure the portion size is appropriate for your dog's weight and daily caloric needs.
Store: Store any remaining stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can freeze portions for longer storage.
Tips
Remember, introduce new food to your dog gradually, especially if they have a sensitive stomach or allergies. Monitor their response closely, and consult with your veterinarian or our FitPetGo nutritionist for personalized advice on your dog's dietary needs. Adjustments to the recipe can be made based on your dog's specific nutritional requirements and any dietary restrictions advised by your vet or nutritionist.
