Commercially sold dog foods may have harmful ingredients, so homemade dry dog food is the best solution.

Here are a few simple yet nutritious recipes you can make.

Recipe I

Ingredients

  • Wheat germ (1 and 1/2 cups)
  • Yeast (1/3 tbsp)
  • Garlic powder (1 tsp)
  • Powdered milk (3 cups)
  • 5 eggs
  • Ground beef (3 cups)
  • Wheat flour (5 cups)

Instructions

Put the yeast in a cup of water. After it melts, add in the other ingredients. Mix them well. Keep kneading until the paste is made.

Add some water if needed. Let the dough rest for half an hour so it can rise.

Pour some flour on the counter’s surface. Flatten the dough with a rolling pin.

Continue making this homemade dry dog food recipe by chopping the dough into bite-sized chunks. Set them on a baking sheet. Bake them for 45 minutes at 350 F.

Serve this to your dog. Put any leftovers in the fridge. No matter how well it’s cooked, all the food must be eaten in three days. Keeping the food longer than that is unsafe.

Continue mixing until you get the dough. Spray some flour on the counter.

Put the dough there and flatten it up to half an inch. Slice them with a cookie cutter or knife.

Put the pieces onto the cookie sheet. Space each piece by two inches.

Bake for 30 minutes at 250 F. Allow the food to cool for a couple of minutes at the wire rack.

Recipe III

Ingredients

  • Four (1 cup)
  • Butter (half a cup)
  • Beef (1 cup)
  • Beef jerky (2 cups)

Optionally you can put on some cheese at the top. Make sure the meal isn’t too hot when serving it to your dog.

Tips

Some dog breeds can be very particular about the food they eat. It’s a good idea to do some research on the dog breed so you can feed it properly.

You can also put some vitamins in the recipes for more health benefits.

You can mix and match ingredients if you like. Try making and giving these homemade dry dog food recipes to your pet sometime.

Don’t be surprised if they keep asking for some more.
