Lamb & Rice Dog Food Recipe (Balanced & Gentle)
A gentle, balanced homemade lamb and rice dog food recipe created for dogs with sensitive stomachs. Made with simple ingredients, vet-approved supplements, and easy cooking steps that keep your pup healthy and happy every day.
Equipment
- Non-stick pan or saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl and spatula
- Airtight storage containers
- Optional: Total Pet Kitchen Pet Food Maker (for quicker prep)
Food ingredients
- 450 g 1 lb lean ground lamb – rich in amino acids and gentle for digestion
- 1 cup rice white or brown – soft carbohydrate base for steady energy
- ½ cup carrots grated – adds fiber and beta carotene
- 1 tsp olive oil – provides omega fatty acids for coat and skin health
- 1 tsp calcium powder or crushed eggshells – supports bone strength
- 1 vet-approved multivitamin supplement – completes daily micronutrient needs
Operation steps
- Cook the Lamb – In a non-stick pan, cook the ground lamb over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain excess fat to keep the recipe gentle on digestion.
- Boil the Rice – Cook rice in plain water until soft and slightly sticky. Avoid salt or oils.
- Combine Ingredients – Mix lamb, rice, and grated carrots in a large bowl while warm to soften the vegetables slightly.
- Cool & Add Supplements – Let the mixture reach room temperature, then add olive oil, calcium, and the multivitamin to preserve nutrients.
- Portion & Store – Divide into containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
- Serve – Warm slightly before feeding; Ethan loves it when it’s just above room temperature.
note
Always cool food before sealing containers to prevent moisture buildup.
• Introduce new recipes gradually over 5–7 days to avoid digestive upset.
• For busy weeks, alternate with gentle commercial options like Purina ONE Lamb & Rice or Blue Buffalo Lamb & Brown Rice.
• If you don’t want to cook daily, check our dry food picks – those were Ethan’s daily backups.
