Puppy Meatloaf

If your pet is allergic to wheat, leave out the bread and wheat germ. Increase the oatmeal amount to 12 cups and add oat bran. This recipe would also work well with ground turkey or chicken.

Prep time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

In very large mixing bowl, combine ground beef and cottage cheese; blend well. Add eggs, milk powder, and wheat germ and mix. Then add the crumbled bread, oatmeal, and brown rice and mix well.

Divide among ten small (5-1/2" x 3-1/2") aluminum loaf pans. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then promptly refrigerate. This food is perishable, so don't store it in the fridge longer than three days.

We always froze all but one of the loaves. To defrost, let them stand in the refrigerator overnight. Crumble the meatloaf into a bowl, drizzle with some water, and microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm. Make sure the food doesn't have hot spots after microwaving, as your pet will gobble this up!

Make sure to discard any food that has been sitting out for 30 minutes or longer.
