Description
A simple recipe for homemade dry dog food featuring beef and banana, designed to promote a healthy coat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, mashed bananas, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, coconut oil, and water. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, kibble-sized pieces.
- Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the kibble is hard and dry throughout.
- Turn off the oven and let the kibble cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to ensure maximum dryness.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Adjust water slightly if the dough is too dry or too sticky to handle.
- Ensure the kibble is completely dry before storing to prevent mold growth.
- Consult your veterinarian before making significant changes to your dog’s diet.
