Description

Simple, homemade dog kibble recipe featuring beef and pear for easy digestion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 large ripe pear, peeled and finely grated
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, whole wheat flour, grated pear, water, and egg. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  4. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, uniform kibble shapes.
  5. Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the kibbles are firm and lightly browned.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the kibbles cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for extra crispness.
  8. Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can adjust the water slightly if the dough is too dry or too wet.
  • Ensure the pear is finely grated so it mixes evenly into the dough.
  • For longer storage, you can dehydrate the kibbles further at a very low oven temperature (around 200°F or 95°C) for an additional hour after initial baking.
