Description
A homemade hypoallergenic dog food recipe designed to help dogs with itchy skin and allergies. This nutritious meal includes lean turkey, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and vegetables to provide a balanced diet while eliminating common allergens.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 pounds of ground turkey
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 1 cup of lentils
- 1 cup of peas
- 1 cup of diced green apple
- 1 cup of chopped carrots
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
- 1 can of pure pumpkin
- 1/2 cup of cooked sweet potato
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the quinoa and lentils to the pot, along with enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the grains are soft.
- Stir in the diced carrots, peas, and sweet potatoes. Allow them to cook until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Mix in the pure pumpkin and green apples, stirring well to distribute evenly.
- Remove from heat and let the food cool completely before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for long-term storage.
Notes
- If your dog is sensitive to quinoa, substitute it with white rice or oatmeal.
- For dogs with legume allergies, omit lentils and increase the sweet potato.
- Coconut oil can be replaced with fish oil to provide anti-inflammatory omega-3s.
- Introduce new foods gradually and monitor your dog for any reactions.
- Consult your veterinarian before making significant dietary changes.
