Grain Free Homemade Dog Food

HOMEMADE GRAIN-FREE ORGANIC DOG FOOD

Steps:

• Wash and trim ends of carrots. Peeling is unnecessary if using organic ones. Cut into small enough pieces to chop in a food processor and set aside. Chop apples, green beans, blueberries, and spinach in the food processor and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large (at least 10-quart) stockpot and saute carrots until softened, about 5 minutes. Add apples, green beans, blueberries, and spinach and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon coconut oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add to stockpot. Add pumpkin puree, remaining olive oil and coconut oil and mix everything until well combined. Cover and allow to cool.
• Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight. Divide desired portions into resealable plastic bags, removing as much air as possible, and freeze until needed.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place carrots, apples, and water into a pot. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Crack eggs and whisk together in a bowl; place eggshells onto a baking sheet.
• Bake eggshells in the preheated oven until dry, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove eggshells from the oven and pulverize using a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
• Place ground chicken, chicken livers, eggs, ground eggshells, and sunflower oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium heat, mixing occasionally, until ground chicken is browned and crumbly and livers are no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place spinach on top of meat mixture in the skillet and cover with a lid to steam until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Mash softened carrots and apples using a potato masher and add to meat mixture; mix together.
