Homemade Dog Food with Beef

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 6 cups water , or more as needed
• 4 cups uncooked brown rice
• 1 pound assorted beef bones , shin, shank, short ribs, or marrow bones
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 can sliced carrots , 15 ounce
• 1 can spinach , 13.5 ounce
• 6 eggs
• 1 can pumpkin puree , 15 ounce

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

2. 2

   Place 6 cups water and brown rice into a stockpot. Add browned beef, bones, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and let simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until rice is mushy, about 45 minutes. Add water if necessary to keep mixture a little thicker than a porridge-like consistency.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, place carrots, spinach, and eggs with their shells into an electric blender. Blend until completely pureed and no eggshells are intact.

4. 4

   Mix pumpkin and blended egg mixture in a bowl until combined. Remove meat mixture from heat and pour egg mixture into the pot to cook the eggs in hot contents, about 5 minutes. Let cool thoroughly before feeding to your dog, about 30 minutes.
