Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 6 cups water, or more as needed
• 1 (15 ounce) can sliced carrots, drained
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can spinach, drained
• 4 cups uncooked brown rice
• 1 pound assorted beef bones (shin, shank, short ribs, or marrow bones)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Step 2

Place 6 cups water and brown rice into a stockpot. Add browned beef, bones, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and let simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until rice is mushy, about 45 minutes. Add water if necessary to keep mixture a little thicker than a porridge-like consistency.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place carrots, spinach, and eggs with their shells into an electric blender. Blend until completely pureed and no eggshells are intact.

Step 4

Mix pumpkin and blended egg mixture in a bowl until combined. Remove meat mixture from heat and pour egg mixture into the pot to cook the eggs in hot contents, about 5 minutes. Let cool thoroughly before feeding to your dog, about 30 minutes.
