Great dog food recipe for dogs with allergies. Deer meat is considered an exotic protein as it is a meat source that your dog most likely has not had before. Lentils are high in protein and low in fat. You may choose any color lentils to use. This is a good grain free meal that will leave your dog feeling satisfied.

Preparation of the venison and lentils dog food:

STEP 1

Cooking Venison for dogs

Place venison in a pan on top of the stove, add water to just cover meat. Cover and cook until venison is cooked throughout, about 7 minutes. Using a wide slotted spatula, remove venison from liquid.

How to cook lentils for dogs

Cook lentils on a stove top, using 1 1/2 cups of water for the 1/2 cup of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender. For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes.

Storage

The recipe can be prepared in large batches and frozen. It will keep for up to a year in the freezer, or one week in the fridge. Freezing vitamins preserves their potency. I would recommend portioning the food into meal size servings before freezing it. To defrost a frozen meal – put it in the fridge overnight.

Feeding Guidelines

We suggest dividing the daily amount into two servings, one in the morning and one in the evening. Every dog’s nutritional requirements are a little bit different due to age & amount of exercise. If your dog is losing weight, increase food by 1/4 cup a day, if they are gaining weight reduce accordingly.
