There's something wonderful about a warming stew on a cold day, and your dog thinks so too. Lamb provides a rich source of protein and iron, while fresh ginger brings its famous anti-inflammatory gingerols to the party. This stew is particularly good for older dogs who feel the cold in their joints during winter β the warmth and the ginger work together to ease stiffness and get tails wagging again.
