Homemade Allergy-Friendly Dog Food With Quinoa: The Only Guide You Need
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
- 1.5 pounds ground turkey or lean pork (or 1.5 pounds whitefish fillets)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (plain, not pie filling)
- 1 cup chopped zucchini or green beans
- 2 cups low-sodium bone broth or water
- 1–2 tablespoons salmon oil (added after cooking)
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped spinach, lightly wilted
Instructions
- Rinse quinoa until the water runs clear. This removes saponins that can taste bitter and upset tummies.
- Cook quinoa in 2 cups broth/water. Simmer 15 minutes until fluffy.
- In a separate pan, cook the protein thoroughly. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Steam or sauté veggies until soft. No oil needed for this step.
- Combine quinoa, protein, and veggies. Let it cool, then stir in salmon oil.
- Portion into containers and refrigerate 3–4 days or freeze 1–2 months.
