ground chicken | 2 cups |
defrosted frozen spinach (or fresh spinach, chopped) | 1 cu |
large egg | 1 |
rolled oats (or replace with 1/4 cup of flaxseed meal or coconut flour for a lower carb option) | 1/2 cup |
1 tablespoon | fresh parsley (chopped, for fresh breath) |
Steps
Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, spinach, egg, rolled oats (or flaxseed meal/coconut flour), and chopped parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form Meatballs: Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and slightly browned on the outside.
Cool and Serve: Allow the meatballs to cool down to room temperature before serving them to your dog. Adjust the portion size according to your dog's weight and daily caloric needs.
Storage: Store any leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze portions for longer storage.
Tips
When introducing new food to your dog, start with small amounts to monitor their reaction, especially if they are prone to weight gain. Adjustments to the recipe should be made based on your dog's specific nutritional needs and any dietary restrictions advised by your veterinarian or our FitPetGo nutritionist.
