Description
Simple recipe for making nutritious, homemade dry dog food kibbles featuring chicken and flaxseed.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, water, and egg. 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 20 to 25 minutes, or until the kibbles are hard and dry throughout.
- Turn off the oven and leave the kibbles inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to fully dry them out.
- Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container.
Notes
- Adjust water slightly if the dough is too dry or too sticky to handle.
- For smaller dogs, cut the pieces smaller.
- Ensure the kibbles are completely dry before storing to prevent mold.
