How to Make Cheap, Hard & Healthy Dog Food

Instructions

1

Combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, bone meal and dry milk in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the cooked brown or wild rice a little at a time, blending well after each addition.

2

Whisk the eggs in a separate mixing bowl. Pour in the melted bacon grease or lard and blend well. Add the water, broth, gravy, milk, meat juices or meat drippings, and mix the liquid thoroughly.

3

Slowly stir the liquid ingredients into the dry mixture a little at a time, blending well following each addition.

4

Add the ground or shredded fat, meat or fish and mix thoroughly. Gently fold in the cooked carrots and peas.

5

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Fahrenheit and generously grease several large baking pans. Spread the dog food batter into the pans, no deeper than 1/2 inch thick.

6

Bake the dog food dough for 45- to 55 minutes. When it browns lightly and begins to pull away from the sides of the pans, it's done.

7

Take the pans out of the oven and cool them to room temperature on racks. Break the dog food into chunks that are the right size for your dog. Store a 4 to 5 day supply in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator. Freeze the rest of the batch in airtight plastic bags.
