Homemade dog food RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
Ground Turkey - 12 oz
Ground Beef - 12 oz
Salmon Filets - 12 oz
Oatmeal - 8 oz
Parboil Rice - 8 oz
Frozen Spinach - 8 oz
Frozen Peas - 8 oz
Baby Carrots - 8 oz
Medium Sweet Potato - one
Cann of Chickpeas - 15.5 oz
Can of Pumpkin - 15 oz
Coconut Oil for cooking.
Salt, Tumeric, and Parsley to taste.
STEP 1 - PROTEIN PREP
I use a multicooker and saute the ground beef and turkey in about a tablespoon of coconut oil. The multicooker makes it easier to cook the rest of the ingredients later.
As the same time, I fry the salmon in a frypan with another tablespoon of cocounut oil. Once the salmon is cooked, remove the skin and then chop the salmon into small bite-sized pieces.
STEP 2 - VEGGIE PREP
Peel and cube the sweet potato.
Chop the baby carrots into thirds.
Drain the chickpeas.
Combine the spinach, peas, carrots, sweet potato, and chickpeas in a 5-quart pan. Add about 2 cups of water.
Bring to a boil and then simmer until the carrots and potato are soft. Drain about 80% of the liquid.
Add the canned pumpkin.
Pureee with an immersion blender.
STEP 3 - PRESSURE COOKING
Add the following to the cooked meat in the multicooker.
- Cooked salmon
- Oatmeal
- Rice
- 3 cups of Water
- Salt and Parsley
Stir thoroughly
Pressure cook for 5 minutes.
Wait 2 minutes.
Release steam.
STEP 4 - COMBINE
Pour the veggie blend into the multicooker.
Add the tumeric. I usually do a tablespoon.
Stir thoroughly.
STEP 5 - DIVIDE AND STORE
This will yield about 16 cups of food.
I always keep two cups in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. Your needs may be different.
When I feed my dog, I combine this with kibble and Purina's FortiFlora.
Feel free to use this recipe in any combination to feed your dog. As always, check with your vet for the proper amount and any additional nutriitonal supplements.
