Description
A simple recipe for homemade dry dog food focusing on joint health ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup cooked spinach, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons fish oil
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked brown rice, chopped spinach, ground flaxseed, fish oil, and turmeric. Mix well.
- Add the water or broth slowly until the mixture holds together when pressed, but is not overly wet.
- Spread the mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the mixture is dry to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the sheet.
- Once cool, break the mixture into small, kibble-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
- Store the finished kibble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of liquid based on the dryness of your cooked ingredients.
- You can substitute brown rice with cooked quinoa for a different grain base.
- Consult your veterinarian before making significant changes to your dog’s diet.
