Lentils with Rutabaga

An autumnal wintery dish

1 daily serving for a 15kg dog (33 lb)

With this simple lentil rutabaga recipe, the rutabaga - which, by the way, was named vegetable of the year 2017/2018 in Germany - gets a small stage. Originally from Scandinavia, the vegetable came to Germany in the 17th century, at that time still under the name "Swedish turnip". In the meantime, the winter vegetable is known in German-speaking countries under a wide variety of names, from Turnip to Rutabaga, Butter turnip, Turnip with soil, Runke, Runkelrübe, Wruke, Dotsche, Dodschn, Knutsche and Kamputze. But it is not only the names that are diverse, but also the growing areas, which are located across the globe in all moderate climate zones. 

The harvest season in Europe stretches from September to May. Especially in the winter months, rutabagas were an important food reserve for the population in Germany. Combined with pulses such as lentils, fantastic dishes can be conjured up, especially in winter, when the choice of seasonal vegetables is more limited in our latitudes. Lentils are easier to digest than peas or beans, but as always, it is important to mince everything so that it is easy for dogs to digest. The small protein bombs are versatile because they can be stored very well in dried form.

Curly - Keep Nourished
DHA & EPA rich oil from Algae (BBD 4.7.2026)

CurlyFeed Material for DogsCurly is our vegan DHA and EPA oil made from algae. A high-quality Omega 3 oil for dogs that can specifically support the health of your companion.Why omega-3 is so importantOmega-3 fatty acids are essential for many bodily functions: they support the heart and circulation, promote brain development, have anti-inflammatory properties and contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat.In our detailed blog post you can find out what DHA and EPA are important for and what is special about Curly.Curly's BenefitsCurly is made from 100% pure algae oil - no unnecessary omega-6 fatty acids, no calorie trap as you only need a small amount.The vegan and environmentally friendly alternative to salmon oil for dogs - Good for your Dog and the Planet.Our oil for Curly comes from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. - one of the few types of algae that naturally produce a very high concentration of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). It is also easy to grow and is cultivated sustainably in closed tanks in the USA. This means we can guarantee that our algae do not come from the sea and do not jeopardise marine ecosystems and the nutritional basis of fish.Side NoteAs sometimes it happens in life, a small mistake occurred in the labelling of the first batch. The label has slight colour abrasion in some places, see photos.Fortunately, the oil in the bottle is in perfect condition and has all the valuable ingredients that the oil is supposed to have.Now the good news for you: Curly is now available with an extra bonus in the form of a 10% discount.Feeding RecommendationThe demand for EPA and DHA can vary depending on the dog's age, activity and any existing medical conditions. Our Curly is a highly concentrated algae oil containing approx. 378mg DHA and 95mg EPA in 1ml.We recommend a dosage of 1ml per 10kg body weight. One teaspoon corresponds to approx. 4ml.Curly can be optimally combined with our kibble Greta, canned food Pauline and our home-cooking recipes.StorageAfter opening, Curly should be stored in a cool place protected from light, ideally in the refrigerator, as the algae oil develops an intense marine odour and taste when exposed to light and at room temperature, although this does not have a negative effect on the potency of the oil.Let your dog decide!
