Pressure Cooker Homemade Dog Food with Chicken and Rice Recipe


Making your dog’s meals isn’t the most convenient way to feed him, but it is the healthiest.

Home cooking allows you to cater to your pup’s meals to his exact nutritional needs.

This instant pot chicken and rice for dogs recipe make serving them a home-cooked meal a little bit easier.

Some people worry about the safety of pressure cookers, but as long as you use them properly, they are perfectly safe.

Today’s pressure cookers are made with safety features and advanced technology to prevent accidents.

My Favorite Pressure Cooker Dog Food with Chicken and Rice RecipeAs I mentioned in my video guide above, I am not using an Instant Pot.

I am using an alternative pressure cooker, the COSORI 8-in-1 Pressure Cooker (which I recently reviewed here) because it has safety elements in place that make me feel safe when using it.

For example, the cooker will not turn on unless the lid is securely locked.

Likewise, there is a small float that pops up when pressure is built up inside the cooker and drops when the pressure is released.

When shopping for a pressure cooker, look for one that offers multiple safety features and backups in case the seal fails.

The biggest benefit of making pressure cooker dog food is that it is much quicker than boiling food or preparing a meal in a slow cooker.
