A balanced and wholesome meal ensures your dog is getting the right amount of nutrients while also catering to their taste buds.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean pork, ground
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup carrots, finely chopped
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of ground brown rice
- 1/4 cup of chicken or beef broth
Method:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure to wash and finely chop the vegetables and keep them aside.
- Cook the pork: In a non-stick pan, cook the ground pork over medium heat until it’s browned and thoroughly cooked. Make sure to break up the pork into small, crumbly pieces. Allow it to cool.
- Blend the ingredients: Once the pork has cooled down, add it to a food processor along with the chopped vegetables and ground brown rice. Add in the chicken or beef broth to help the ingredients combine well. Process the mixture until it forms a coarse paste.
- Form the patties: Use your hands to form the mixture into small patties, adjusting the size based on your dog’s breed and size.
- Bake the patties: Grease a baking sheet with olive oil and place the patties onto the sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Serve or store: Allow the pork patties to cool completely before serving to your dog. Any remaining patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
And there you have it, a protein-packed and delightful homemade Pork Patty for your dog!
