Food ingredients
- 1 lb 450 g lean ground lamb (grass-fed preferred)

- 1 cup finely chopped or grated carrots
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp calcium supplement or ground eggshell powder
- 1 vet-approved multivitamin supplement
Operation steps
- Rinse & Prep – Rinse quinoa thoroughly and soak for 10 minutes to remove bitterness. Finely chop or grate carrots for better texture and absorption.
- Cook the Lamb – In a nonstick skillet, brown the ground lamb over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and avoid adding any salt or seasoning.
- Simmer the Base – Add 2 cups of water, quinoa, and carrots to the pot. Simmer covered for 20 minutes until the quinoa becomes fluffy and carrots are tender.
- Add Healthy Fats & Supplements – Cool slightly, then mix in olive oil, calcium powder, and a multivitamin to round out nutrition.
- Portion & Freeze – Once fully cooled, spoon the mix into silicone trays (such as HKNMTT Silicone Dog Food Freezer Mold) and freeze.
- Serve & Observe – Thaw portions overnight in the fridge and serve slightly warm. Observe your dog’s digestion and adjust portions gradually.
