How to cook millet for dogs

Millet makes a great addition to a dog's diet. It's easy to cook and has many health benefits for dogs. In this article, we'll tell you everything you need to know about cooking millet for your dog: how much water to use, how long it takes to cook and even how much butter or olive oil is needed!

Put millet into a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.

To cook millet for dogs, you'll need a pot that's big enough to hold the millet and water. Put the millet in your pot and cover with water.

Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat so that it simmers for about 20 minutes (or until the liquid is absorbed).

Reduce the heat and simmer until the grains are soft -- about 20 minutes.

  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the grains are soft -- about 20 minutes.

  • Using a pot with a lid will help keep in more of the steam, which helps them cook faster. Once you have added water and turned up to high heat, use a timer to track how long it will take for your millet to soften (about 10-12 minutes). You can use this information when cooking for your pup next time!

  • Stir occasionally as you wait for your millet to become fluffy like rice; if it starts sticking together in clumps or burning at all on the bottom of your pan, add some water so that everything remains moistened throughout its cooking process.

Drain any remaining liquid when the grains are done cooking.

Once the millet is done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a spoon to remove any excess water from the millet before serving. This step is important to ensure that your dog does not get too much moisture (and therefore, extra calories) in their diet. If you are feeding your dog with a feeding tube, drain off any remaining liquid as well; it’s best not to feed this wet food through an artificial device!

Stir some butter or olive oil into the millet if desired.

If you want to add some more flavor and nutrition, stir in a bit of butter or olive oil. For example, 1 tablespoon per cup of cooked millet is a good place to start if your dog doesn't have any sensitivities or allergies to dairy products.

Millets also contain a small amount of omega-3 fatty acids (the same kind found in fish oil), which can reduce inflammation and improve the skin's coat and condition. So adding some flaxseed oil or ground chia seeds will help boost this benefit even further!

Mix in the dog's favorite meat to make it more appealing.

If your dog has a difficult time eating millet, try mixing it in with their favorite meat. You could get creative and add chicken, beef or pork. A little salt and pepper should make the blend taste more appealing to your pooch! If you want to spice things up even further, add a dash of garlic or onion powder as well.
