Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked pasta
- 1.25 cups ground chicken
- 1/2 tsp. coconut oil
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. bone meal
Instructions
Brown the ground chicken in the coconut oil. You can steam the carrots if you think your dog will find them more appealing. My dogs don’t have a problem eating raw carrots, so I don’t bother steaming them.
Mix the browned chicken, cooked pasta and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.
I recommend feeding about 1/2 cup of food for every 20-25 pounds of body weight. This is just a guideline. Some dogs, like working dogs and very active breeds, will need more calories than this. Lazier pets and senior dogs may not need as many.
