Things You'll Need:
- 3 cups rye flour or rolled oats 3 cups potato flour or whole wheat flour 2 cups dried milk 3 cups cooked wild or brown rice 2 tsp. bone meal 1 cup melted lard 4 eggs 3 cups meat juices, drippings, broth or gravy 2 to 4 cups shredded, chopped or ground raw venison 1 cup cooked peas (optional) 1 cup cooked carrots (optional)
-
Step 1
Mix together in a large bowl the flours and rolled oats. Add dried milk and bone meal, and mix well. Begin adding the cooked rice in small amounts, blending thoroughly after each addition.
-
Step 2
Whisk together eggs and meat juices, drippings, broth, or gravy in a separate bowl. Stir in the lard, blending the mixture thoroughly.
-
Step 3
Stir the egg mixture slowly into the dry ingredients, mixing well. Add the venison and blend. Add the peas and carrots, and mix everything thoroughly.

Step 4
Grease large baking pans. Spread the kibble batter into the pans so that it's about 1/2 inch deep.
-
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees F and bake the kibble for 40 to 50 minutes. When it pulls away from the sides of the pan and has turned light brown, it's done.
-
Step 6
Cool the pans completely on racks when you've removed them from the oven. Break the kibble with your fingers into chunks the right size for your pet. Store what you plan to eat in the next 4 or 5 days in zippered plastic bags or airtight containers in the refrigerator. Freeze the rest of the batch.
