Description
Simple recipe for making dry dog kibble at home featuring salmon and pumpkin for coat health.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1/2 cup cooked, flaked salmon (skin removed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, and ground flaxseed. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, and water until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
- Gently fold in the flaked salmon.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/8 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.
- Turn off the oven and leave the kibbles inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to dry out completely.
- Cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Store the finished kibbles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- You can substitute whole wheat flour with brown rice flour for a gluten-free option.
- Ensure the salmon is fully cooked and all bones are removed before flaking.
