Ingredients

  • 1 pound 450 g ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 cup carrots finely chopped
  • 1 cup of peas
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup spinach chopped
  • 2 cups of brown rice
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 tablespoon fish oil optional, for healthy skin and coat

Instructions

  • Cook the brown rice.
  • In a large pot, add the brown rice and 4 cups of water. After bringing it to a boil, lower the heat, place a lid on it, and allow it to simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the rice reaches its complete cooking.
  • Prepare the chicken.
  • While the rice is cooking, in a separate pan, cook the ground chicken or turkey over medium heat until it’s fully browned. As it cooks, cut it into small pieces. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the vegetables.
  • Add the chopped carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and spinach to the pan once the meat has finished cooking. Stir and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Combine Everything:
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan along with the meat and vegetables. Mix everything together well. If using fish oil, stir it in at this stage.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Let the mixture cool down before serving it to your dog. You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • This recipe is suitable for most dogs, but always consult with your veterinarian before making any major changes to your dog's diet.
  • You can also portion the food and freeze it for later use. Just thaw in the refrigerator overnight before feeding.
