Notes
- If your dog has a sensitivity to chicken; you can use ground turkey (try this ground turkey dog food recipe), ground beef, ground lamb or ground pork.
- To substitute rolled oats: Rice flour, which is simply ground rice, would be a great option. You could also use almond flour in place of oats.
- To substitute grated carrots: Try chopped green beans, peas or grated sweet potato.
- To substitute egg: a scoop of pure pumpkin purée or applesauce would be great.
