Remember: While making your healthy dog food and dog treats can be rewarding, it’s essential to consult with your veterinarian to ensure you’re providing your dog with the necessary nutrients.
Why make your dog’s food in an Instant Pot?
- Control: Know exactly what goes into your dog’s food, avoiding unwanted additives and preservatives found in kibble.
- Freshness: Ensure your dog is getting the freshest, most nutritious meals.
- Cost-effective: Making your own dog food may be more affordable in the long run.
Important!!
You can’t just toss in some veggies and protein in the pressure cooker and call it a day. As with any dog’s diet, it must be complete and balanced with essential nutrients, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals like calcium. Our recipes are nothing without the DIY Nutrient Blends, formulated specifically for each recipe to meet AAFCO recommendations. The blend is compounded from 100% human-grade nutraceuticals regulated by the FDA. As such, you must follow each recipe precisely.
Tips for Instant Pot Dog Food:
- Safety First: Always cook meat thoroughly to avoid foodborne illnesses.
- Portion Control: Ensure your dog is getting the right serving size based on their size and activity level.
- Storage: Store cooked food in airtight containers in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze for longer storage.
- Variety: Rotate ingredients to prevent boredom and ensure your doggie gets a balanced diet. Rotational feeding can provide more excitement at mealtime for picky eaters. Try turkey with green beans in one batch and pressure-cook ground beef and kale in the next, for example.
Remember:
- If you can’t find organ meats at the grocery store, head to your nearest deli.
- Cook times and prep times vary by recipe.
- Use a food scale for the most accurate measurements.
