This Slow Cooker 5 Ingredient Dog Food is perfect for busy pet parents who still want to give their dogs a little extra love. Plus, it's super easy to make!

Servings: 10 servings

2 pounds ground chicken
1 cup brown rice
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup peas
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1. Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker.

2. Stir to combine everything evenly.

3. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours.

4. Check occasionally and stir to ensure even cooking.

5. Cool the mixture before serving it to your pet. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If your dog isn't a fan of chicken, you can substitute ground turkey or lean ground beef. Feel free to add other dog-safe vegetables, such as sweet potatoes or green beans, for added nutrition. For those with grain-sensitive dogs, you can replace the brown rice with quinoa or skip it entirely and slightly decrease the broth to maintain the right consistency.
