This deer meat dog food recipe is a great diet option for dogs with common protein allergies, as deer is considered a novel protein that your dog most likely hasn’t eaten before in commercial dog food. This recipe combines venison, potatoes, and kale for a satisfying grain free, low fat alternative to help your dog maintain a healthy weight, and have healthy skin and coat.
In a large skillet or pot place cubed or ground venison. Add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently for about 30 minutes or until venison is cooked.
Remove from heat. Drain excess liquid.
Add fresh, finely chopped kale to the cooked meat. The heat will lightly cook the kale.
Cook the potatoes by boiling them in water. They can be mashed or cubed into bite size – depending on the preference of your dog. Begin checking the potatoes after around 5 minutes of boiling; most potatoes will be done in 10 to 20 minutes. Potatoes are done when tender: The potatoes are done when they are tender all the way through. You can test this by poking the potato with a fork, paring knife, or skewer.
Sunflower oil is added as a source of linoleic acid. If you would like a substitute oil you can add Wheat germ, Walnut or Corn oil in the ratio of 1.2 per 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil.
When the meat and potatoes are cool to touch you can add the Azestfor nutritional supplements and sunflower oil. Heat destroys the potency of vitamins.
