Instant Pot Dog Food

One of our dogs seems to be allergic to grains or at least gluten. We feed half dry, grain-free food and half homemade.

After reading a bunch of recipes, this is what we have landed on:

Instant Pot Dog Food

1 C lentils

1 C brown rice, optional

4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs (or 2 large)

4-6 sweet potatoes sliced into 2" pieces

6 carrots sliced into 2" pieces

1 can chickpeas, drained

   or 1/2 lb chickpeas (1 C), cooked or dried

1 C frozen spinach (or 4 C fresh)

1 t ground eggshell, if not mixing with dry food

4 C bone broth (or plain broth or water)

1/4 C coconut oil

1-2 C whey (start with less, if dog is not already accustomed)

Add all ingredients to IP except coconut oil (lentils need to be one of the first to be submerged in liquid, not like in the picture :-P).

Cook on manual high for 23 minutes (40 if chickpeas are dried).

NPR.

Add coconut oil.

Mix with hand mixer until desired consistency.

Adjust serving size according to size of dog (i.e. 1 C/day for small dogs, like dachshunds).

Freeze in portion sizes and thaw as needed.
