So I just did a lot of calculations. But I'm coming up with this being around 1230 k/cals TOTAL. I estimated this being right under 3.5cups. Meaning this is right over 350K/cal per cup. I would have to feed my 60lb Malinois about 5 cups of this a day. My 60lb German Shepherd about 3.6 cups a day, and my 15lb spaniel about 1.3 cups a day. Hope that info helps someone else!
Are your Malinois and German shepherd getting a different serving amount because the Malinois is more active and requiring more calories? Asking just because I have a Malinois, DDR shepherd and an Aussie all weight 60-65 lbs
Great Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF finally got cool results with it.
I make this every two weeks. Easy and healthy. Three tablespoons of ingredients rolled into wiener shape(thicker). Place in individual snack bags, freeze, and remove 1 pkg. in the evening, let thaw overnight, give half for breakfast and half dinner. I also make fresh rice and give about heaping tablespoon to meal. Thanks for video, my dog skin has improved! Has 95% stopped licking and chewing areas on her paws, butt, and belly. You saved not only my dogs skin integrity, but taking to vet, for allergies. She’s like a different dog. Afterthought: I serve meat raw with a little cooked rice, and my Maltese loves it. 😋 I also, as a treat..par boil (4min) beef ribs, when cooled, I cut most of the meat away from bone. Freeze meat for a snack. Freeze bones, and give as a snack (keeps tartar from teeth, and breath pleasant). This way I know what I’m giving my dog. My dog mostly stays on sofa, so when she has a bone 🦴 I spread small towel down and there’s no soiling sofa. When she has removed all the meat from bone, and has stopped enjoying, i toss bone in trash and place towel in laundry basket. When she see me spreading towel on sofa, she is so excited.
I multiplied this recipe by 1.5 (I happened to have 21oz of ground beef). It came out to just over 4 packed cups. My lean, 35lb dog seems to like 1 cup/meal. This averaged about $4 meal for her. She was not really into the raw version, but inhales it when it is lightly cooked and served at room temp (she is definitely a picky eater- she will let her dry kibble sit all day, and won't touch it until she has run around and works up a serious appetite.) We will try raw again, but for now, we think cooked is better than not at all. We are shooting to filter in this meal every other night, and see if it is something we can provide every meal down the road. Baby steps. She is happy, though, and we are so delighted to see her love her food for once!!
Just swap out the beef occasionally with ground turkey. And as the recipe states, you can swap out the cod liver oil for canned sardines (packed in water only). This channel also has a video showing what veggies are good for dogs.
Ohh I use sardines that have been packed in olive oil then again I buy Tika dog food sardines already a balanced food from a factory where they prepare human food.
this has been years coming. I'm from the era of 2008 just past the giant callback nightmare. The vets are awful about owners trying to make their own food. Just give us frigging guidelines. We're not all stupid. We can make it work.
@@cameronwilson4782 very true great point. I cook both my siberians their food. It is time consuming. I cook 8 days worth of food at a time and it takes 5 hrs or so. I boil and pick chicken for them most of the time. I brought at the time my siberian who was 10 and a half at the time. Hes 11 and 6 months now. The vet asked what I was feeding him. I told her I cook his food and told her everything I did. She told me how he didn't look or act his age. And told me to keep doing it. She was a very honest vet. Unfortunately she passed 8 months ago. God bless and rest in peace Dr Theresa marshal
I recommend to cook the eggshell for about 20-30 mins at 300-350 F (perhaps while you cook something else), and then grind it. You will get calcium that is more digestible.
Eggshells are also a great suppliment for people. One eggshell a day gives 100% of the daily requirement. I put them in my smoothie if I see I haven't gotten enough calcium. Tastes like you have sand in your smoothie, but it works!
Oh thank you. I don't even have the words. I am an 8x cancer survivor and the chemo brain is crazy bad. I just don't understand things anymore and you have finally answered my question of what to feed my very best friend. You made it simple thank you. Also I live in a van so I don't have an oven or a lot of freezer space. I do have a mini food processor so my Serenity is starting on this diet.
I've been making homemade food for my dogs and cats for 6+ years. My cats have been eating raw but I've always cooked the dog's food in my pressure cooker, and fed supplements as well. I tried this recipe today using ground turkey and served it raw. My dog flipped for this recipe! He loves it! Will definitely be making it again and again using different meats/veggie combos. Thanks for keeping it simple. :)
6 week UPDATE: My dog loves this stuff!! I make a triple batch every 3 days, my dog is 100lbs. so 1 batch is one meal. I change out the meats every other batch: beef & turkey, and occasionally chicken, but not as often as the other meats. I also rotate different veggie combos, adding equal amounts of each: brussel sprouts, broccoli, kale, spinach, red bell peppers, or on occasion, frozen peas. My dog's itchy, allergy skin is at least 90% better! He's gone from constantly itching and scratching to the point of biting himself, to hardly any scratching at all. I couldn't be more thrilled!! His skin has cleared up and his fur has filled back in. He's also lost a few extra pounds. I'll be making this recipe for the foreseeable future!
I have a maltese and chiahuahua. I made this and they loved it! I have been feeding homecook dog food for 4 years now. I wasn''t too far off from this recipe. My dogs don't go to the vet. They are very healthy ! This recipe is a keeper. I cook the meat then shut the heat off and add in the veggies, egg & shell and sardines then when cool I add in the hemp, kelp . I serve this with nurpro on top. and omega 3, 6 oil.
2020 and I am eternally grateful that I found this video. I started to cook for my dog after watching a few videos on this channel. I now cook for him once a week and he is thriving. Thank you.

@@rylandpeters8982 I have a medium size dog (Bichon), and I get about 4 to 6 servings with this size receipe. I imagine if your dog is bigger (more hungry), it could be less.
We have a chiua wa wa? with liver problems. our vet has her on Hills prescription diet. mostly grains that she doesn't eat now. I'm going to try this out. Thanks so much.
I realize you've been told a million times by so many how wonderful you are but I'm going to say it anyway.... YOU ARE AMAZING! I have learned so much from you. I felt so lost and overwhelmed before I found you, Dogs Naturally and everyone else in your circle. You are all heaven sent as far as I am concerned. Thank you for all the things you share with us. Titan & his human simply can't thank you enough!
My Shih Tzu puppy has been very finicky about her food. She would either pick at what I gave her or not eat at all. I did have some success giving her a treat if she ate all her food. I also tried the more expensive varieties of dog food to no avail. This recipe seemed easy enough so I tried it. Happy to say how fast my puppy switched with little to no side effects. She now eats without hesitation and I feel good that I am giving her quality food. She has a lot more energy and plays so much more than before the diet change. Her poops are smaller and they don't smell as bad . . .another bonus! Thanks for posting this video!
@@jessicaschrier7136 Is the measurement for the raw diet alone or added with puppy kibble? I ask because I was told to feed my pup 3 meals a day, so I’m wondering if that would be enough.
I know this is an old comment and your puppy must now be, 2 years old or so. Lol But from what I understood she only fed the her puppy the food from the video, no kibble. She fed the amount of raw/gently cooked food appropriate for the life stage and weight of her dog. Since I will now try this recipe, I think I’ll follow the general instructions and guidelines of the right feeding amount, from a store bought raw or gently cooked product, that feels trustworthy, together with the recommendation of my puppy’s, veterinarian. Hope this helps.🥰 @shrinkingshea1703
Excellent! I'm getting these ingredients tomorrow! I have been making my Shih Tzu's food for the past few days, but worried about getting it balanced! She will be 11 next year, and is just recovering (again), from a bacterial skin infection! Too many ear infections to count, allergy shots, steriods, and every commercial dog food you can name (from the Vet)! I've had enough, as has my poor doggie! Making her food from here on in, and I will use this recipe! Thankyou!
Hey, my dog had crazy skin issues and stuff -- just terrible. Then, I quit giving ANYTHING that was not home-made. And, everything (PROMISE YOU) stopped. It was like a miracle. No joke. I wasted tons of money then found out it was a CHICKEN ALLERGY. And, my fur babie loved Chicken, so I made her Georgia Meatloaf. And, they go APE-SHIT for this stuff ... It's cheap & easy & on YT ... Hope that helps. ruclips.net/video/CFrXiuiplDE/видео.html
Thank you so much for this recipe. I've been looking for ways to feed homemade food for my dog and there are so many nutritionally unbalanced recipes on the internet, but this one is easy and well-balanced. All the ingredients are easy to buy, too. My dog loved it. Thanks again!
I've been making this with my mom for almost a year for our dog. At first, I posted the recipe on a Facebook group for raw feeding and they told me I wasn't feeding him a balanced recipe because it didn't have organ meats in it. I didn't listen because hey, this recipe is from DOCTOR Becker, so I trust it's balanced. Teddy loves this recipe a lot. We started giving him this recipe at night and a human grade canned food in the morning and he definitely likes the homemade food more. My dad got a variety pack of the canned food so we can find out what flavors he likes best. Thanks for this easy balanced recipe, Dr. Becker! We'll keep using it as long as possible!
This recipie is great but in long term it wont be enough Protein rotation is also very important my 2 poodles eat a wide variety of meat Rabbit , chicken , turkey , lamb , goat , quail , venison .etc I do reccomend add organ . DM me for more info @queen.n.princethepoodles
Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've ordered Dr Becker's book (along with Steve Brown's two books) but they haven't arrived yet. Right now our dog gets mostly home-cooked food with a little bit of kibble (Acana brand). I'm going to transition her to raw and will used this recipe to start off slowly. In a different video Dr Becker said to give the raw food as a treat for a day and increase the amount given, as treats, for a couple of days. If her poop is good after a few days of raw treats, give the raw as one meal (keeping the other meal for that day what she's been eating). If after a few days of one raw meal/day her poop is still good discontinue the old food and go 100% raw. I have heard others say that adult, raw feed dogs should only eat one meal per day but I've never heard it from what I consider a trusted source. Our vet agreed with me home-cooking for our dog when I sent my "recipe" to a vet school for nutritional analysis but I don't think she's as happy about raw feeding so I probably won't ask her. What do you think, Rodney? By the way, I found out about you through Kimberly Gauthiere.
Thank you so much for this recipe, this is what I have been hoping for. I had always wanted to make my own healthy dog food but didn’t know if I would be giving them all the nutrients that they needed. This is so simple and pretty much have all the ingredients. You made my dogs very happy and again thank you for all your knowledge and sharing it with us.
I love that you ended with noting that you can always do organic or non gmo stuff and that's great, but "do your best, whatever you can do, do it"... that's really nice to hear. We are doing the best we can with the diet we are cooking for Ivar:)
Great recipe for beginners that will serve old pros and their pets well too. The only thing I would add is that, if you can get your hands on grass-fed and grass-finished beef burger, you don't have to add Omega-3 oils, because grass-fed and grass-finished red meats already have Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in the 50-50 ratio that seems to be ideal for both humans as well as carnivorous pets. Even Walmart and Aldi now carry such beef. Some of it is also organic-certified. I do like the idea of dog food that is perfectly safe for people to eat. Let's face it, if you buy a can or bag of dog food, and it's so disgusting that you'd have to hold your nose to try some, you don't want to kill your dogs with such slop, either. And you certainly don't want any children or elderly dementia patients ingesting it.
Aaaaaaaah this recipe is the best!! I did so much research and it was just so confusing, but this is so easy and I am so excited to feed the puppy recipe to my little man when I get him soon!!! 😊 Edit: ok wait... where is the puppy recipe it’s been three years 😩
I made this tonight and it was very easy to make. A tip for others--- my grocery doesn't always have fresh beef liver but I can always find it at that same store in the freezer section. And I had to buy the kelp powder in capsules, which I pulled apart, but at least it's 100% kelp. All 4 of my little dogs liked it (mixed in with their normal food, to transition slowly onto this). Thank you!
Appreciate Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (should be on google have a look)? It is a good one off product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy finally got great success with it.
If you search Dr Karen Becker on You Tube you will find many of her videos. I just watched “ 3 Pillars of Health” webinar and she specifically addressed Vitamin D there, but likely in other videos too.
Jennifer Jones start feeding her a large fallopian of puréed canned pumpkin with every meal ASAP for stomach issues. Balances them out immediately. Not pumpkin pie mix btw. For uti prevention do u-tract complex from progressive labs to prevent utis.
I made this and my dog loved it. It was super easy, too. The only negative was having to buy the supplements/oils cause they were a bit pricey. Luckily they should last a long long time. I doubled the recipe to be able to have 1 weeks worth of meals for my 17lb jack russell.
My little Shitsu/Pekingese went wild for this!! She absolutely scarfed it down and wanted more! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!! The second time I made it I used turkey and she LOVES IT!!
What I feed my Katie for a week. 1 lb ground Turkey 2 eggs 1/4 cup white rice 1 cup mixed vegetables Unsalted bullion packet of either chicken or beef Either fry it up in a pan or bake it in loaf pan. She gets 1/2 cup a day. She is a Shih-Poo. She weighs 16 lbs. She sometimes gets the runs from beef. So I only give her a beef patty when she seems constipated. I will try your change up recipe next time I make hers but with ground Turkey. I freeze the leftovers after I cook the whole thing. Thank you for your recipe.
I thought my 15 y old beagle had a yeast overgrowth after watching Dr Becker’s ‘yeasty dog’ so I switched his dry food and saucy canned food for this recipe and it made a world of difference in his digestion. His poops 💩 now look healthy, his anis is no longer swollen and he doesn’t pass gas as much. BUT now he is suffering from skin issues...Could this be part of a detox from years of processed foods⁉️. I first noticed a round dark spot on his shoulder and then another and after a bath it rubbed off along with hair....ringworm? I haven’t gone to the vet because Of COVID19 and am trying to take care of this from home. THANK YOU Dr Becker and Rodney Habib for your helpful videos.
Thank you for this video!!! We've been feeding this to our dogs since nov last year and mixing it up with different meats , and they have been doing great!
My dog loved the food a lot. Only suggestion would be to blend the egg shells a little finer in a coffee grinder of some sort. My dog spat out 2 snap fragments that didn’t get blended good enough.
Thank you! I'm so glad there's finally a recipe you can cook! I've long been reading about the benefits of a BARF diet for dogs and was excited about making the switch from canned wet food to raw. Unfortunately, my dog won't touch raw meat! No matter what I've offered her or how hungry she is (she will starve herself for days if offered something she doesn't want to eat), she even turns her nose up at raw chicken wings! I'm having to give up on the dream of raw feeding and go to the next best thing: home cooked. But I'm struggling to find the same amount of quality advice on creating nutritionally balanced meals (what makes it more difficult, is that she's allergic to beef, lamb, pork and wheat). Can the beef in this recipe be subbed for chicken or venison? I would really appreciated more videos like this for nutritionally complete, grain-free meals that can be cooked for your dog. :)
Great recipe, but you should also mention that according to Dr. Becker’s book (Real Food for Healthy Dogs & Cats fourth edition 2017), this should be fed in rotation and not every day because daily kelp for iodine supplementation that is non-standardized (in supplement form, like NOW 150 microgram tablets) can lead to allergies. I had to dig deep in the book for this. Another point from her book, diets with beef exclusively need to include hemp oil (or hemp seed oil, which seems more fitting, but the book states hemp oil-so I’m not sure) to add the necessary linoleic acid (LA) that ground beef nutritionally lacks (soil depletion, etc.). This recipe is divine, but please provide more information to the public as it’s not as simple as just “feed this and your dog will be healthy.” There’s tons of changing research. Much respect to Karen and Rodney (and Steve Brown) for creating this recipe, but please look more carefully. 🐶
I just got done making around 9 weeks supply for my pups . Turkey burger , canned chicken , canned tuna , beef liver , peas, carrots , green beans , turmeric, garlic and pepper .
My thoughts 💭 exactly 😊👍🏼 @NaomiStockley I rewatched the video thinking I missed the portion part, but no. I still feel a bit 😬 anxious because idk how much to give each one of my dogs. I have 4, all of which are of varying breeds, weight, and activity level. Everything from a 5lb’er to an 85lb GSD. Sooo…. 🤷🏻♀️ do I have to wait until the book comes out in October???? (Already purchased, can’t wait to get my hands on it!!!) I think for now, I’ll give them all a bit as more of a topper until I can figure out the portion each pup should have. @RodneyHabibPlanetPaws
I been feeding my dog dry dog food for years and am beginning to wonder if it took a toll on my dogs health. Now he is 12 years old and he does not want to eat any dry dog food at all no matter what brand it is. It started two days ago his complete discontent for dry dog food. I got some cooked chicken to see if he eat it, and he ate it up so the dog has appetite ,but only for real food not dried dog food. So after watching your video along with several other videos I probably will try to make him fresh dog food. I am hopping along with improving his appetite that the dogs health will improve. I should have done this years ago. I think there is some kind of misconception that dog food should be produced by corporations,because they know better then the average dog owner. I even watched a documentary on dry dog food, and basically in this documentary dogs are not meant to eat dry dog food ,and that it effects there health in the long run. I do not know, I am not an expert, or do I claim to be one .I do know that if the dog does not like dry dog food, and they become more lethargic and tend to have health issues then I begin to question dry dog food(I have bought expensive brand dog foods ). I think as consumers we tend to trust corporations to much when it comes to many important things, including food for ourselves and our pets. Thanks for the video, it gives empowerment and options to people who love there pets.
It could be painful on older teeth. My dog is 16 years old and he went off dried food. But I found that by dribbling a bit of water onto the pellets, it softened it up a bit. My dog is being spoiled now, because we know he's on the final lap of life, so by mixing cooked steak - with all of its juices - he has returned to eating the dried/moist food. I get the same result from using chicken or ham in the mix.
@@janvera972 unfortunately I have to speak in the past tense, because my little pooch died one month after I posted my comment. Anyway, in answer to your question, I'm in the UK and the two brands of dog food that I was using were Harrington's or Baker's. On its own, my dog didn't want to know. But softened with a bit of drizzled water and or meat juices, he loved it. We always tried to add some bits of decent chicken or other meat - just for a treat.
PLEASE go to Dr. Karen Becker’s You Tube channel and her excellent vide0 “ 3 Pillars of Health” webinar. She has many great videos . You are right, the companies push and advertise dog food to appeal to the humans and gain their trust. Would you feed your child a box of “ kid food” every meal? congrats on making changes
I did a rough calculation and came up with a calorie count for this recipe. Total calories are approximately 721 for this recipe. Based on 14 oz lean ground beef (95% lean / 5% fat). 14 oz ground beef - 543.3 calores 1/2 t cod liver oil - 22.5 2 t hemp seed oil - 83.3 1 oz liver - 38 1 egg - 72 veggies and spices (ginger, kelp) negligible calories
Tom Evans I must be a real dummy...I look at all those numbers and get confused....I have several dogs I feed them all together how do I know who's getting what. I've tried feeding them separate. It takes forever.
help! My dog currently eats 2 cups of their dog food. According to the bag, 1 cup equals 245 kcal. How many calories would it take to get them on this recipe?
This recipe contains 40 calories per ounce. 8 ounces in a cup equals 320 cals per cup, right? I would weigh it on a scale, though until you come up with 16 ounces. Probably about 2.5 cups but weighing it is the best way.
keep in mind, while dogs can stomach raw foods. They don't exactly use mouth wash after a meal. And if they are licking kids, they are spreading whatever bacteria is in the raw meat. This is something people often over look. If you have out door barn dogs, that don't interact with kids, sure, maybe raw will work. But a dog that is sharing a bed with people, will be covered in the bacteria. Because dogs lick them selves. Everything they lick, has the raw food on it. Just something to consider.
Our 7 years old GSD has arthritis. Two months ago Her condition became very bad and She stopped walking for four days. She was laying sideways and barely going potty. The VET said to give Her pain killers to manage the pain. Drug Her - This was VET's solution. I started cooking this recipe and now the dog is running again. Pain killers do not solve the problem. They only make the dog or person to not feel pain which can lead to even more damage.
buy her a natural powder for dogs called Super snouts. my dog tore acl and developed arthritis also. i found this powder and he has no mobility problems now. you can also give her a fish oil capsule from walmart. it helps with inflamation.
same here my dog is 13 she screamed every time she walked up and down the stairs from pain i started her on raw she is running and jumping again i make this recipe or something like it sometimes but most of the time they get instinct raw =
I hope you never know what real pain is. I agree that we need to look at everything when treating our pets and ourselves but to outright say that pain medication isn't a valid option is ludicrous. I have pain every day and I exercise, eat right and it doesn't matter, some people and animals are predisposed to pain or arthritis, etc & to not give pain medicine if needed is cruel. I'm thrilled your dog is better but I hope it never gets worse because there might come a time where just good food isn't going to fix it and your dog is gonna be in pain and your self righteous attitude isn't going to help.
First coffee is your dog allergic to fresh organic chicken or chicken biproduct in commercial food? I think alot of people whose dogs are allergic to something is because it's not very healthy. My pitbulls allergeys stopped when I started going to butcher meat store for her food it's fresh grass fed organic and they specifically have meat cuts for petfood it's not expensive
I have six rescue dogs and they range in weight between 35 to 90 lbs. Being forced onto disability has really made it tough feeding them. But I'm going to do something other than feeding them dry dog food like purina and pedigree which are packed full of grains. All of my dogs are suffering due to the sh*tty food. So come hell or high water I am going to start feeding them real food. I can no longer stand to see them constantly ill. Even if I have to do without I will not feed them sh*t anymore. Taking in a dog is sort of like getting married. It is for better or worse except worse won't be feeding it garbage. Dogs traded in their independence thousands of years ago in order to be our protectors and, by far, our lifelong loyal friends. So thank you for your help in this matter. I just need to figure out the proper amount for each dog.
We need PUPPY food recipe, too! My puppy needs you now. Is it just more calories and calcium for a puppy? Is whole milk yogurt calcium bio available to puppies/dogs?
my dog is healthy, feeding home cooked : ground beef ground chicken one whole Broccoli (grinded) milled pumpkin seeds , milled chia seeds one spoon calcium powder. in-between i give raw green tripe and chicken wings raw !!
So almost a pound of ground beef for one meal? I have nine rescue dogs and live on Social Security. In Mexico, meat is very expensive. Can you do a meal for one dog for less? Sometimes I buy beef liver and kidneys, but I have heard that liver should not be more than 10% of the meal. I do combine it with bone broth and kibble. But I think I will start by adding the herbs, for sure.
*QUESTIONS* 1- Can I use whatever meat is 'lean'? You know to better catch sales :) 2- Is there a replacement for Hempseed oil? Heck, never even heard of it before. 3- Ginger replacement? Kelp replacement? 4- Liver- heart/kidneys work too correct? Also, can be chicken or even pork? 5-Veggies- Carrots, sweet potato?
garry12777 anything made out of hemp is super healthy hemp seed oil is amazing don't change it! Nor ginger! That's a magical ingredient. Also there's lots of veggies you can give your doggie that they'll benefit from just google it 😊
Carrots and sweet potato are high in sugar. Hemp goes with beef but if you do poultry use flax instead. You have to have liver. It should be 5% of the meat weight. Kelp for the iodine
I’m really excited I found you Rodney and Dr Becker! I’ve been watching you both a lot! I did get the probiotic that I believe Dr Becker had her had on created. Now I can’t wait to start my 2 dogs on this food but, I’m unsure how much my 40lb dogs should eat per day or per meal. I’d love to find that information so I can begin. Do you sell a dog recipe book? I’d buy it today 🙌🏼 thank you again for loving all of our pets!
Jennifer Serkey catinfo.org/making-cat-food/ this is a recipe that a MVD uses for her own cats, and recommends it for "almost" all other cats, if nothing else feed your kitties low carb high protien wet/canned food :)
The best food for cats with kidney disease is Feline Instincts. It's a powdered supplement mix that you mix into ground, raw meat along with water, canned pumpkin, a little bit of salmon oil. Here is the link: felineinstincts.com/feline-instincts-crf-my-natural-kidney-support-diet/ There are no ground bones in this recipe like in the Dr. Lisa Pierson recipe. Although that is a good recipe for healthy cats, it is not recommended for cats with kidney disease. My CRF kitty inhaled this recipe and it really helped bring his kidney values down. Hope this helps. :)
look at catnutrition.org for a perfect cat recipie. I've been using it 10 years and my cats are always super healthy. The ones that were adult when we started lived to be 17-19 yrs old.
Wow, honestly this was a great video. I have done so much research but somehow it still left me confused. This video showed me how easy it is to start and how I can slowly add. I was always worried it would not be a balance meal but if I always have this recipe in my pocket and being able to add on it really gives me peace of mind. Its alot more affordable. This video really helped my decision to start feeling raw
Did you know that Dr. Karen Becker has a whole book just on exactly how to feed homemade dog or cat food and to make sure the are getting their nutrition? Excellent guide book with recipes. You can find it on Dr, Mercola’s website, I don’t know if it is on Amazon or not
Just recently I was watching several dingoes preparing the evening meal, fresh vegetables and supplements are an integral part of wild dog nutrition. I was amazed at the fire starting skills of dingoes and their ability to fashion a frypan from local iron ore deposits. Dinner conversation was centred on the need to find fresh avocado for breakfast.
How do we measure the amount of food daily given to our dogs size? On dry, I feed a 30lb dog 2 cups daily, would it be the same or should I feed less or more?
You would measure in grams or whatever metric you use 😊 Your dog should eat 2-3% of thier body weight (my dog is 9kg and eats 225g of raw food per day) Hope this helped
@@kelelafucksmysoul4340 its not very hard to figure out the measurement thanks to the girl above, 9kg÷225 = 25g per kg 25×11 = 275g. Thats about how much your dog needs :)
@@kelelafucksmysoul4340 hey hun I have a bull mastiff weighing 45kg and a husky whose weighs 15kg. Can u help me on how much to feed them. They have two meals a day
With puppies you need to be careful that they get the right calcium-phosphorous ratio and amounts, especially large breeds can develop skeletal issues. Bone has the right proportions of calcium and phosphorous and should make up about 10% of a raw/ barf diet for puppies. With this recipe I guess you'd need to increase the amount of ground egg shell, but there might be other considerations that I'm not aware of.
I really appreciate this!! It seems that most of the recipes out there are nutritionally deficient and require you to buy their expensive nutritional blend to make the recipe sound. 🤦🏻♀️ Looking forward to your recipe book coming out. 😊
I did a lot of research on this topic before i started to feed my dog raw meats and please guys, do your research! While this might be a balanced meal i don‘t see how a dog that only gets this food would have a balanced diet. I write this because in the comments i read things like "i only feed this to my dog" and that it not a good idea! This is a good starting point but do your research before switching your dogs diet. (Also a raw fed diet isn‘t suitable for all dogs.) In the long run: Half an eggshell is not enough calcium for dogs, that‘s why they need bones. They also help with plaque! Dogs need more than a small piece of liver. Feed your dog hearts, lungs and kidneys. They need it to stay healthy. Where is the important fats from milk products such as jogurt? (While milk products are optional i highly recommend feeding them) I‘d choose cut pieces of meat over ground meat long term. While ground meat has more fats, it’s in my opinion only suited for small breeds. You should feed your dog lager pieces of meat because with a meat-based diet the dogs stomach produces more stomach acid to break up the meat. Therefore they are able to break down lager pieces and actually start to need lager peices or the over production of stomach acid could become a problem. Dogs do need carbs too, especially when they are very active. (How much are you even supposed to feed your dog of this mixture? ) Also, please change the bell pepper with carrots. While red peppers aren‘t as dangerous for your dog, they need to be cooked before fed to your dog and should only be fed in moderation. And don‘t forget the fruits! Apples and strawberries are great. They are my dogs favourite. Please do your research and don‘t only rely on videos like this. While i understand it‘s supposed to show how easy this kind of diet is, you shouldn‘t switch your dogs diet based upon one video without having done your research. A raw fed diet is easy...and not. It also has it‘s own dangers.
Look up the calorie content of each ingredient ... add them together and compare with how much your dog is eating now (as long it is maintaining a healthy weight) and then adjust up or down.
Heike King this is what confuses me....I have to add up calories? Jeezez I don't even add up calories for myself how am I going to manage doing it for six dogs
I'm concerned with adding the sardines ground up with the beef after reading about combining fish containing thiaminase with raw protein blends risks a deficiency of thiamin (Vitamin B1). They say you shouldn't store the ground up fish & ground up meat together. A deficiency in b1 scares me because the article I read said it doesn't take long for the negative effect which includes an enlarged heart. Wish I had known this before making this recipe & feeding it to my dog for 3 days already. I have a 5 lb dog who eats 4 oz of food per day so I have alot left over to freeze after making it & I certainly don't want to kill her! Another thing that concerns me is they dont tell you how many mcgs are in the kelp they use. That's kind of a big deal seeing how different products have different amounts. For instance now kelp has 450 mcgs with a tiny scoop. After doing the math my little dog needs around 50 mcg/day so instead of adding kelp to this recipe when I made it. I just add a tiny amount to her bowl everyday. It would be nice if dr becker or rodney would respond to this on their thoughts!
I've been doing this recipe for my little Maggie (shih-tzu) for quite some time. She LOVES it! However, her vet believes that beef and chicken could possibly be the cause of her ear infections, and some skin itching. So, her vet told me to replace the beef with fish. So, that's what I've done. I use Basa fillets and tuna (while still using the sardines called for in the recipe). Could you please tell me if there's other adjustments that I should make due to the switch from beef to fish? The vet hasn't seen any other changes in Maggie's health other than the ear infections have cleared up finally, and the itching has subsided greatly. I give Maggie this food for one meal each day, and a holistic dry, vegan food (by Halo) for her second meal of the day. Oh, and I bake the recipe like a casserole in the oven. I layer the fish fillets, then the rest of the mixture layered on top. I multiply the recipe by 4 times, and I get a months worth of meals for Maggie.
It is highly doubtful that beef or chicken would cause the problem, I would be much more concerned about processed vegan food for an animal whose teeth clearly identify him as a carnivore. Try lamb, pork, turkey, goat, rabbit, venison, bison, etc. in your recipe. Also, if your vet is okay with you feeding vegan to your dog, I'd find another vet.
Yes, you can. You can even mix them together. I think this recipe used beef because people don't freak out as much about raw beef as they do about raw fish or poultry. You should freeze your fish for 3 weeks just to kill any potential parasites.
I have been making my dogs food for awhile now, but I also am grateful for this recipe also! I am going to add some of your ingredients to mine :) Thank you for doing this for us out here.
(dogs weight) x .02 = how many pounds per day my dog weighs 67lbs, so his daily meat intake would be 1.34lbs or 21.5 ozs per meal or devided into 2 meals 10.75oz
I read that the oxalate in spinach isn't good for dogs and that cruciferous vegetables like brussel sprouts, cabbage, bok choi and/or broccoli should be used instead.
pitbullpappa dogs arent meant to eat plants their biological evolution dosent call for it. Humans need plants ex. Fruit, berries, nuts and seeds bc we thrive on it. Cholesterol is expelled 100 percent in excrement in dogs however. they need raw organs, meat and bones for a happy healthy doggo.
Well dogs are scavenging carnivores they have adopted to process some plants based diet, their ancestral eats grass as well. Adding veggies in the diet will help avoid micronutrients difeciency etc
This is incredibly helpful! What is the margin of error if I want to add in other things, like carrots, Kale, berries, bone broth, yogurt, herbs, etc to give her a little variety each time? Should I consider those things substitutions for any of the listed ingredients, or just whack them in there when I feel like I love her a little extra that day? Or am I projecting my feelings onto my dog (no way) and over-valuing variety? Also, She's been getting salmon oil for a long time (with her kibble) What is the major difference between salmon oil and cod oil? I really appreciate these videos, as well as the smarty-pants, math-doing, well-versed doggy nutrition insights of the commenters, too! Thank you all! Tell your dogs I said hi and enjoy your meals!
I did mine raw, but I served the portion smaller so that I could add some chicken necks in there. I like when they have something to chew and not just immediately swallow (:plus i love the crunching sound:)

I love this! I made the mix and told my mum to give to our dog raw, but she wasn't show sure my husky would've eaten it raw so she cooked it up and my Mishka gobbled up the whole serving. Mother knows best I guess :)
Thank you so much it’s so scary that you’re going to do the wrong thing when you go in the store and buy a bag I thought that was the right thing and safe then I got sick myself and learned about GMO‘s then I found out what the government was allowing to get into our stores not only are we getting sick but our animals are two again you guys are amazing thank you so much you’re a blessing✨❤️✨🙏🏻✨☯️
wow thankyou for your video. i come into raising these dogs when i married my wife. i knew nothing about these awesome dogs. thankyou I'm still collecting information two years later. Sir by the way what beautiful dogs!
@@teodoramora705 You're a dumbass. Dogs have been domesticated, and they've evolved. That means their stomachs have evolved to eat what they feed them. Get off the internet, kiddo.
Looks delish. I like the idea of food source supplements. However I would dry out the egg shell and pulverise it to powder as opposed to blitzing it wet, just to avoid the shards of egg shell. Im looking for ideas for feeding a lost dog until I hear from the owner. And im comming from a mindset of cooking everything from scratch, gluten-free, on a budget for my family, and im thinking "Why would I buy overpriced overprocessed who-knows-where-from for a beloved animal if I wouldnt do it for my family?". even though it's not my pet, just got me thinking. Thanks for showing that its possible.
People say commercial dry dog food is horrible. I use kirkland dog food and my dogs look great! They are healthy, strong, their hair is shiny . For my fast growing doberman puppy I use Blue buffalo puppy food, he is doing great! He's 4 months old and he's about 40 pounds. There are some very cheap brands of dog food, buy there also good, and very good brands.
So I just did a lot of calculations. But I'm coming up with this being around 1230 k/cals TOTAL. I estimated this being right under 3.5cups. Meaning this is right over 350K/cal per cup. I would have to feed my 60lb Malinois about 5 cups of this a day. My 60lb German Shepherd about 3.6 cups a day, and my 15lb spaniel about 1.3 cups a day. Hope that info helps someone else!
Thanks!!!
I figured 1/3 cup for my 6 lb chihuahua
Are your Malinois and German shepherd getting a different serving amount because the Malinois is more active and requiring more calories? Asking just because I have a Malinois, DDR shepherd and an Aussie all weight 60-65 lbs
I'll be feeding a bit under as my Zelda Dutch Shepherd is a bit overweight at 69. Female 7 years old. We are active.
Raise your hand if your waiting on more recipes like this!!

It is a good one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF finally got cool results with it.
*you're
Yes
PLEASE do a senior and puppy diet, thanks a lot! I really enjoy your videos and they've helped me a TON
I make this every two weeks. Easy and healthy. Three tablespoons of ingredients rolled into wiener shape(thicker). Place in individual snack bags, freeze, and remove 1 pkg. in the evening, let thaw overnight, give half for breakfast and half dinner. I also make fresh rice and give about heaping tablespoon to meal.
Thanks for video, my dog skin has improved! Has 95% stopped licking and chewing areas on her paws, butt, and belly. You saved not only my dogs skin integrity, but taking to vet, for allergies. She’s like a different dog.
Afterthought: I serve meat raw with a little cooked rice, and my Maltese loves it. 😋 I also, as a treat..par boil (4min) beef ribs, when cooled, I cut most of the meat away from bone. Freeze meat for a snack. Freeze bones, and give as a snack (keeps tartar from teeth, and breath pleasant). This way I know what I’m giving my dog. My dog mostly stays on sofa, so when she has a bone 🦴 I spread small towel down and there’s no soiling sofa. When she has removed all the meat from bone, and has stopped enjoying, i toss bone in trash and place towel in laundry basket. When she see me spreading towel on sofa, she is so excited.
Read up on giving bones. Always should be raw to prevent sharp chips or splinters.
Wait but isnt it like so expensive? Like when i got a weeks worth of everything from walmart, i was up to 70 bucks. Like holy shit! What should i do?
@@jakewatson1160 i mean yeah of course feeding your dog almost entirely just beef is going to get a lot more expensive than buying bagged dog food.
I multiplied this recipe by 1.5 (I happened to have 21oz of ground beef). It came out to just over 4 packed cups. My lean, 35lb dog seems to like 1 cup/meal. This averaged about $4 meal for her. She was not really into the raw version, but inhales it when it is lightly cooked and served at room temp (she is definitely a picky eater- she will let her dry kibble sit all day, and won't touch it until she has run around and works up a serious appetite.) We will try raw again, but for now, we think cooked is better than not at all. We are shooting to filter in this meal every other night, and see if it is something we can provide every meal down the road. Baby steps. She is happy, though, and we are so delighted to see her love her food for once!!
So does you dog eat 2 cups per day? My pup is 24 lbs and I’m trying to figure out how much of this food to feed per day.
@@advancedpressurewashingsol764 2.5% of their body weight is the standard
i cooked this for my dog and i ate it im sorry
Pmoney I LOL’d
Pmoney 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pmoney hopefully you left out the egg shells lol
Lol!
More versions please!! Please do recipes that include poultry, fish, or other kinds of veggies too.
Just swap out the beef occasionally with ground turkey. And as the recipe states, you can swap out the cod liver oil for canned sardines (packed in water only). This channel also has a video showing what veggies are good for dogs.
Ohh I use sardines that have been packed in olive oil then again I buy Tika dog food sardines already a balanced food from a factory where they prepare human food.
my dogs get kale and carrots in their food. Ground beef or chicken and barley.
I did what the queen of england does...3 ingredients and bam!!! it worked.
@@lindahurd9717 Where do you get it?
I'm so happy people are finally realizing how horrible bagged pet food is!
not all!get real for christ sakes!
@@shaneomac7566 no shit sherlock.
this has been years coming. I'm from the era of 2008 just past the giant callback nightmare. The vets are awful about owners trying to make their own food. Just give us frigging guidelines. We're not all stupid. We can make it work.
Zak B vets aren’t animal nutritionists vets don’t know what to feed dogs
@@cameronwilson4782 very true great point. I cook both my siberians their food. It is time consuming. I cook 8 days worth of food at a time and it takes 5 hrs or so. I boil and pick chicken for them most of the time. I brought at the time my siberian who was 10 and a half at the time. Hes 11 and 6 months now. The vet asked what I was feeding him. I told her I cook his food and told her everything I did. She told me how he didn't look or act his age. And told me to keep doing it. She was a very honest vet. Unfortunately she passed 8 months ago. God bless and rest in peace Dr Theresa marshal
I recommend to cook the eggshell for about 20-30 mins at 300-350 F (perhaps while you cook something else), and then grind it. You will get calcium that is more digestible.
yes, it also dries it out so you can grind it
Egg shells, especially from chickens raised naturally, outside, with the right diet, make an excellent calcium supplement!
Eggshells are also a great suppliment for people. One eggshell a day gives 100% of the daily requirement. I put them in my smoothie if I see I haven't gotten enough calcium. Tastes like you have sand in your smoothie, but it works!
I bought a coffee grinder just for the eggshell. Works amazingly.
Oh thank you. I don't even have the words. I am an 8x cancer survivor and the chemo brain is crazy bad. I just don't understand things anymore and you have finally answered my question of what to feed my very best friend. You made it simple thank you. Also I live in a van so I don't have an oven or a lot of freezer space. I do have a mini food processor so my Serenity is starting on this diet.
I've been making homemade food for my dogs and cats for 6+ years. My cats have been eating raw but I've always cooked the dog's food in my pressure cooker, and fed supplements as well. I tried this recipe today using ground turkey and served it raw. My dog flipped for this recipe! He loves it! Will definitely be making it again and again using different meats/veggie combos. Thanks for keeping it simple. :)
6 week UPDATE: My dog loves this stuff!! I make a triple batch every 3 days, my dog is 100lbs. so 1 batch is one meal. I change out the meats every other batch: beef & turkey, and occasionally chicken, but not as often as the other meats. I also rotate different veggie combos, adding equal amounts of each: brussel sprouts, broccoli, kale, spinach, red bell peppers, or on occasion, frozen peas. My dog's itchy, allergy skin is at least 90% better! He's gone from constantly itching and scratching to the point of biting himself, to hardly any scratching at all. I couldn't be more thrilled!! His skin has cleared up and his fur has filled back in. He's also lost a few extra pounds. I'll be making this recipe for the foreseeable future!
Hey! Sorry I know this is an older post but I was hoping you could share the recipe you use for your cats? 😊
@@jasminyoussef7821 I use the recipe in the book: Whole Health for Happy Cats by, Sandy Arora.
I have a maltese and chiahuahua. I made this and they loved it! I have been feeding homecook dog food for 4 years now. I wasn''t too far off from this recipe. My dogs don't go to the vet. They are very healthy ! This recipe is a keeper. I cook the meat then shut the heat off and add in the veggies, egg & shell and sardines then when cool I add in the hemp, kelp . I serve this with nurpro on top. and omega 3, 6 oil.
Do you blend it all together ?
I can't believe I've become a pet lover in my 30's but I love it here. I'm trying this recipe for my dogs
2020 and I am eternally grateful that I found this video. I started to cook for my dog after watching a few videos on this channel. I now cook for him once a week and he is thriving. Thank you.
Check out Dr. Amy Becker’s You Tube channel for some great videos. I always learn something to benefit my dogs.

Hey, I have a cattle dog, maybe 50 lbs? How many servings for her? And how much would you say is this altogether? Cheaper than regular dog food?
I have 13 small dogs. That's a lot of money but they are worth it.

Titan & his human simply can't thank you enough!
My Shih Tzu puppy has been very finicky about her food. She would either pick at what I gave her or not eat at all. I did have some success giving her a treat if she ate all her food. I also tried the more expensive varieties of dog food to no avail. This recipe seemed easy enough so I tried it. Happy to say how fast my puppy switched with little to no side effects. She now eats without hesitation and I feel good that I am giving her quality food.
She has a lot more energy and plays so much more than before the diet change. Her poops are smaller and they don't smell as bad . . .another bonus! Thanks for posting this video!
I also have a shih tzu who is very picky to eat. What amount of this food do you feed her?
@@andreaperez1026 I give my ten pound shih tau 1/3 cup twice a day
@@jessicaschrier7136 Is the measurement for the raw diet alone or added with puppy kibble? I ask because I was told to feed my pup 3 meals a day, so I’m wondering if that would be enough.
I know this is an old comment and your puppy must now be, 2 years old or so. Lol But from what I understood she only fed the her puppy the food from the video, no kibble. She fed the amount of raw/gently cooked food appropriate for the life stage and weight of her dog. Since I will now try this recipe, I think I’ll follow the general instructions and guidelines of the right feeding amount, from a store bought raw or gently cooked product, that feels trustworthy, together with the recommendation of my puppy’s, veterinarian. Hope this helps.🥰 @shrinkingshea1703
Excellent! I'm getting these ingredients tomorrow! I have been making my Shih Tzu's food for the past few days, but worried about getting it balanced! She will be 11 next year, and is just recovering (again), from a bacterial skin infection! Too many ear infections to count, allergy shots, steriods, and every commercial dog food you can name (from the Vet)! I've had enough, as has my poor doggie! Making her food from here on in, and I will use this recipe! Thankyou!
Hey, my dog had crazy skin issues and stuff -- just terrible. Then, I quit giving ANYTHING that was not home-made. And, everything (PROMISE YOU) stopped. It was like a miracle. No joke. I wasted tons of money then found out it was a CHICKEN ALLERGY. And, my fur babie loved Chicken, so I made her Georgia Meatloaf. And, they go APE-SHIT for this stuff ... It's cheap & easy & on YT ... Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I've been looking for ways to feed homemade food for my dog and there are so many nutritionally unbalanced recipes on the internet, but this one is easy and well-balanced. All the ingredients are easy to buy, too. My dog loved it. Thanks again!
I've been making this with my mom for almost a year for our dog. At first, I posted the recipe on a Facebook group for raw feeding and they told me I wasn't feeding him a balanced recipe because it didn't have organ meats in it. I didn't listen because hey, this recipe is from DOCTOR Becker, so I trust it's balanced. Teddy loves this recipe a lot. We started giving him this recipe at night and a human grade canned food in the morning and he definitely likes the homemade food more. My dad got a variety pack of the canned food so we can find out what flavors he likes best. Thanks for this easy balanced recipe, Dr. Becker! We'll keep using it as long as possible!
This recipie is great but in long term it wont be enough
Protein rotation is also very important my 2 poodles eat a wide variety of meat
Rabbit , chicken , turkey , lamb , goat , quail , venison .etc
I do reccomend add organ .
DM me for more info @queen.n.princethepoodles
Liver IS an organ meat and is contained in this recipe.
Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've ordered Dr Becker's book (along with Steve Brown's two books) but they haven't arrived yet. Right now our dog gets mostly home-cooked food with a little bit of kibble (Acana brand). I'm going to transition her to raw and will used this recipe to start off slowly. In a different video Dr Becker said to give the raw food as a treat for a day and increase the amount given, as treats, for a couple of days. If her poop is good after a few days of raw treats, give the raw as one meal (keeping the other meal for that day what she's been eating). If after a few days of one raw meal/day her poop is still good discontinue the old food and go 100% raw.
I have heard others say that adult, raw feed dogs should only eat one meal per day but I've never heard it from what I consider a trusted source. Our vet agreed with me home-cooking for our dog when I sent my "recipe" to a vet school for nutritional analysis but I don't think she's as happy about raw feeding so I probably won't ask her. What do you think, Rodney? By the way, I found out about you through Kimberly Gauthiere.

I love her book. It is reassuring to know that you are gving your dog the best without skipping nutrients
Thank you so much for this recipe, this is what I have been hoping for. I had always wanted to make my own healthy dog food but didn’t know if I would be giving them all the nutrients that they needed. This is so simple and pretty much have all the ingredients. You made my dogs very happy and again thank you for all your knowledge and sharing it with us.
It would be great if we could get a base of how much to feed per weight, puppy, or dog.
ruclips.net/video/miUkDaROvVk/видео.html This is the exact same recipe but with portion calculation.
I love that you ended with noting that you can always do organic or non gmo stuff and that's great, but "do your best, whatever you can do, do it"... that's really nice to hear. We are doing the best we can with the diet we are cooking for Ivar:)
Great recipe for beginners that will serve old pros and their pets well too. The only thing I would add is that, if you can get your hands on grass-fed and grass-finished beef burger, you don't have to add Omega-3 oils, because grass-fed and grass-finished red meats already have Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in the 50-50 ratio that seems to be ideal for both humans as well as carnivorous pets. Even Walmart and Aldi now carry such beef. Some of it is also organic-certified. I do like the idea of dog food that is perfectly safe for people to eat. Let's face it, if you buy a can or bag of dog food, and it's so disgusting that you'd have to hold your nose to try some, you don't want to kill your dogs with such slop, either. And you certainly don't want any children or elderly dementia patients ingesting it.
Aaaaaaaah this recipe is the best!! I did so much research and it was just so confusing, but this is so easy and I am so excited to feed the puppy recipe to my little man when I get him soon!!! 😊
Edit: ok wait... where is the puppy recipe it’s been three years 😩
I made this tonight and it was very easy to make. A tip for others--- my grocery doesn't always have fresh beef liver but I can always find it at that same store in the freezer section. And I had to buy the kelp powder in capsules, which I pulled apart, but at least it's 100% kelp. All 4 of my little dogs liked it (mixed in with their normal food, to transition slowly onto this). Thank you!
Excellent recipe! Yours is literally the only homemade dog food vid I have come across that addresses the Vitamin D issue.

It is a good one off product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy finally got great success with it.
If you search Dr Karen Becker on You Tube you will find many of her videos. I just watched “ 3 Pillars of Health” webinar and she specifically addressed Vitamin D there, but likely in other videos too.
Thank you I rescued a dog 8 months ago and she has had two UTI’S and stomach issues so it’s time to make her food.😍
Jennifer Jones start feeding her a large fallopian of puréed canned pumpkin with every meal ASAP for stomach issues. Balances them out immediately. Not pumpkin pie mix btw. For uti prevention do u-tract complex from progressive labs to prevent utis.
I made this and my dog loved it. It was super easy, too. The only negative was having to buy the supplements/oils cause they were a bit pricey. Luckily they should last a long long time. I doubled the recipe to be able to have 1 weeks worth of meals for my 17lb jack russell.
Thank you for this! Finally a simple, complete recipe that I can easily put together for my dogs.

My little Shitsu/Pekingese went wild for this!! She absolutely scarfed it down and wanted more! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!! The second time I made it I used turkey and she LOVES IT!!
What I feed my Katie for a week.
1 lb ground Turkey
2 eggs
1/4 cup white rice
1 cup mixed vegetables
Unsalted bullion packet of either chicken or beef
Either fry it up in a pan or bake it in loaf pan.
She gets 1/2 cup a day. She is a Shih-Poo. She weighs 16 lbs.
She sometimes gets the runs from beef. So I only give her a beef patty when she seems constipated.
I will try your change up recipe next time I make hers but with ground Turkey. I freeze the leftovers after I cook the whole thing.

I thought my 15 y old beagle had a yeast overgrowth after watching Dr Becker’s ‘yeasty dog’ so I switched his dry food and saucy canned food for this recipe and it made a world of difference in his digestion. His poops 💩 now look healthy, his anis is no longer swollen and he doesn’t pass gas as much. BUT now he is suffering from skin issues...Could this be part of a detox from years of processed foods⁉️. I first noticed a round dark spot on his shoulder and then another and after a bath it rubbed off along with hair....ringworm? I haven’t gone to the vet because Of COVID19 and am trying to take care of this from home. THANK YOU Dr Becker and Rodney Habib for your helpful videos.
Take your dog to the vet, I still take mine. Call the vet office and ask for the guidelines.
Thank you for this video!!! We've been feeding this to our dogs since nov last year and mixing it up with different meats , and they have been doing great!
I made it! Thank you! My dog loved it! She's licking the bowl right now. Thank you, thank you! From both of us.
My dog loved the food a lot. Only suggestion would be to blend the egg shells a little finer in a coffee grinder of some sort. My dog spat out 2 snap fragments that didn’t get blended good enough.
I would like a recipe for small breed puppies...thanks in advance
Thank you! I'm so glad there's finally a recipe you can cook!
I've long been reading about the benefits of a BARF diet for dogs and was excited about making the switch from canned wet food to raw. Unfortunately, my dog won't touch raw meat! No matter what I've offered her or how hungry she is (she will starve herself for days if offered something she doesn't want to eat), she even turns her nose up at raw chicken wings!
I'm having to give up on the dream of raw feeding and go to the next best thing: home cooked. But I'm struggling to find the same amount of quality advice on creating nutritionally balanced meals (what makes it more difficult, is that she's allergic to beef, lamb, pork and wheat).
Can the beef in this recipe be subbed for chicken or venison?
I would really appreciated more videos like this for nutritionally complete, grain-free meals that can be cooked for your dog. :)
Great recipe, but you should also mention that according to Dr. Becker’s book (Real Food for Healthy Dogs & Cats fourth edition 2017), this should be fed in rotation and not every day because daily kelp for iodine supplementation that is non-standardized (in supplement form, like NOW 150 microgram tablets) can lead to allergies. I had to dig deep in the book for this.
Another point from her book, diets with beef exclusively need to include hemp oil (or hemp seed oil, which seems more fitting, but the book states hemp oil-so I’m not sure) to add the necessary linoleic acid (LA) that ground beef nutritionally lacks (soil depletion, etc.).
This recipe is divine, but please provide more information to the public as it’s not as simple as just “feed this and your dog will be healthy.” There’s tons of changing research. Much respect to Karen and Rodney (and Steve Brown) for creating this recipe, but please look more carefully. 🐶
My one year old lab has some skin issues and a yeast infection. After one week on this diet, I am already seeing improvement. He loves it.
I just got done making around 9 weeks supply for my pups .
Turkey burger , canned chicken , canned tuna , beef liver , peas, carrots , green beans , turmeric, garlic and pepper .
I’d love a puppy recipe, but even more so I’d love information on portions for different breeds, activity levels etc
My thoughts 💭 exactly 😊👍🏼 @NaomiStockley
I rewatched the video thinking I missed the portion part, but no.
I still feel a bit 😬 anxious because idk how much to give each one of my dogs.
I have 4, all of which are of varying breeds, weight, and activity level.
Everything from a 5lb’er to an 85lb GSD.
Sooo…. 🤷🏻♀️ do I have to wait until the book comes out in October???? (Already purchased, can’t wait to get my hands on it!!!)
I think for now, I’ll give them all a bit as more of a topper until I can figure out the portion each pup should have. @RodneyHabibPlanetPaws
I been feeding my dog dry dog food for years and am beginning to wonder if it took a toll on my dogs health. Now he is 12 years old and he does not want to eat any dry dog food at all no matter what brand it is. It started two days ago his complete discontent for dry dog food. I got some cooked chicken to see if he eat it, and he ate it up so the dog has appetite ,but only for real food not dried dog food. So after watching your video along with several other videos I probably will try to make him fresh dog food. I am hopping along with improving his appetite that the dogs health will improve. I should have done this years ago. I think there is some kind of misconception that dog food should be produced by corporations,because they know better then the average dog owner. I even watched a documentary on dry dog food, and basically in this documentary dogs are not meant to eat dry dog food ,and that it effects there health in the long run. I do not know, I am not an expert, or do I claim to be one .I do know that if the dog does not like dry dog food, and they become more lethargic and tend to have health issues then I begin to question dry dog food(I have bought expensive brand dog foods ). I think as consumers we tend to trust corporations to much when it comes to many important things, including food for ourselves and our pets. Thanks for the video, it gives empowerment and options to people who love there pets.
It could be painful on older teeth. My dog is 16 years old and he went off dried food. But I found that by dribbling a bit of water onto the pellets, it softened it up a bit. My dog is being spoiled now, because we know he's on the final lap of life, so by mixing cooked steak - with all of its juices - he has returned to eating the dried/moist food. I get the same result from using chicken or ham in the mix.
Dr Ian Billinghurst has the best books on dog nutrition. Also check out Steve Brown on this channel. All the best.
@@RobCLynch what is the brand of dog food you're using?
@@janvera972 unfortunately I have to speak in the past tense, because my little pooch died one month after I posted my comment.
Anyway, in answer to your question, I'm in the UK and the two brands of dog food that I was using were Harrington's or Baker's.
On its own, my dog didn't want to know. But softened with a bit of drizzled water and or meat juices, he loved it.
We always tried to add some bits of decent chicken or other meat - just for a treat.
PLEASE go to Dr. Karen Becker’s You Tube channel and her excellent vide0 “ 3 Pillars of Health” webinar. She has many great videos . You are right, the companies push and advertise dog food to appeal to the humans and gain their trust. Would you feed your child a box of “ kid food” every meal? congrats on making changes
I did a rough calculation and came up with a calorie count for this recipe. Total calories are approximately 721 for this recipe. Based on 14 oz lean ground beef (95% lean / 5% fat).
14 oz ground beef - 543.3 calores
1/2 t cod liver oil - 22.5
2 t hemp seed oil - 83.3
1 oz liver - 38
1 egg - 72
veggies and spices (ginger, kelp) negligible calories
Tom Evans I must be a real dummy...I look at all those numbers and get confused....I have several dogs I feed them all together how do I know who's getting what. I've tried feeding them separate. It takes forever.
help! My dog currently eats 2 cups of their dog food. According to the bag, 1 cup equals 245 kcal. How many calories would it take to get them on this recipe?
14 oz of ground beef has 1300 calories not 540
It states at the end of the video that it's 40 cals per ounce
This recipe contains 40 calories per ounce. 8 ounces in a cup equals 320 cals per cup, right? I would weigh it on a scale, though until you come up with 16 ounces. Probably about 2.5 cups but weighing it is the best way.
I make this for my Maltese..she loves it? I freeze in individual pkg. and feed her twice daily...raw! Her skin has improved!
keep in mind, while dogs can stomach raw foods. They don't exactly use mouth wash after a meal. And if they are licking kids, they are spreading whatever bacteria is in the raw meat. This is something people often over look. If you have out door barn dogs, that don't interact with kids, sure, maybe raw will work. But a dog that is sharing a bed with people, will be covered in the bacteria. Because dogs lick them selves. Everything they lick, has the raw food on it. Just something to consider.
I'm glad this was simple, fast and inexpensive.
Cost?
Our 7 years old GSD has arthritis. Two months ago Her condition became very bad and She stopped walking for four days. She was laying sideways and barely going potty. The VET said to give Her pain killers to manage the pain. Drug Her - This was VET's solution.
I started cooking this recipe and now the dog is running again. Pain killers do not solve the problem. They only make the dog or person to not feel pain which can lead to even more damage.
buy her a natural powder for dogs called Super snouts. my dog tore acl and developed arthritis also. i found this powder and he has no mobility problems now. you can also give her a fish oil capsule from walmart. it helps with inflamation.
same here my dog is 13 she screamed every time she walked up and down the stairs from pain i started her on raw she is running and jumping again i make this recipe or something like it sometimes but most of the time they get instinct raw

I hope you never know what real pain is. I agree that we need to look at everything when treating our pets and ourselves but to outright say that pain medication isn't a valid option is ludicrous. I have pain every day and I exercise, eat right and it doesn't matter, some people and animals are predisposed to pain or arthritis, etc & to not give pain medicine if needed is cruel. I'm thrilled your dog is better but I hope it never gets worse because there might come a time where just good food isn't going to fix it and your dog is gonna be in pain and your self righteous attitude isn't going to help.
Use the whole egg shell. Dogs need calcium to offset the phosphorus in raw meat.
A Rabbit
What can u use in place of that if ur pet is allergic to chicken
First Coffee yes I'd like to know too
A Rabbit or you could use Bone Meal
First coffee is your dog allergic to fresh organic chicken or chicken biproduct in commercial food? I think alot of people whose dogs are allergic to something is because it's not very healthy. My pitbulls allergeys stopped when I started going to butcher meat store for her food it's fresh grass fed organic and they specifically have meat cuts for petfood it's not expensive
A Rabbit Quail eggs, duck eggs
I have six rescue dogs and they range in weight between 35 to 90 lbs. Being forced onto disability has really made it tough feeding them. But I'm going to do something other than feeding them dry dog food like purina and pedigree which are packed full of grains. All of my dogs are suffering due to the sh*tty food. So come hell or high water I am going to start feeding them real food. I can no longer stand to see them constantly ill. Even if I have to do without I will not feed them sh*t anymore. Taking in a dog is sort of like getting married. It is for better or worse except worse won't be feeding it garbage. Dogs traded in their independence thousands of years ago in order to be our protectors and, by far, our lifelong loyal friends. So thank you for your help in this matter. I just need to figure out the proper amount for each dog.
What size dog (lb) are the measurements for? Is this for one meal or multiple? I have a 60 lb dog and a 70 lb dog. What amounts do I do for my dogs?
We need PUPPY food recipe, too! My puppy needs you now. Is it just more calories and calcium for a puppy? Is whole milk yogurt calcium bio available to puppies/dogs?

Made this for my two girls.. they hated it. Maybe I should try something with chicken. Smaller dogs tend to be pickier I guess
Mine hated it too
Mine hate raw vegetable. Except pumpkin
This recipe is more healthy than my actual diet.
my dog is healthy, feeding home cooked : ground beef ground chicken one whole Broccoli (grinded) milled pumpkin seeds , milled chia seeds one spoon calcium powder. in-between i give raw green tripe and chicken wings raw !!
So almost a pound of ground beef for one meal? I have nine rescue dogs and live on Social Security. In Mexico, meat is very expensive. Can you do a meal for one dog for less? Sometimes I buy beef liver and kidneys, but I have heard that liver should not be more than 10% of the meal. I do combine it with bone broth and kibble. But I think I will start by adding the herbs, for sure.
*QUESTIONS* 1- Can I use whatever meat is 'lean'? You know to better catch sales :)
2- Is there a replacement for Hempseed oil? Heck, never even heard of it before.
3- Ginger replacement? Kelp replacement?
4- Liver- heart/kidneys work too correct? Also, can be chicken or even pork?
5-Veggies- Carrots, sweet potato?
garry12777 I'd like to know all that too!
garry12777 anything made out of hemp is super healthy hemp seed oil is amazing don't change it! Nor ginger! That's a magical ingredient. Also there's lots of veggies you can give your doggie that they'll benefit from just google it 😊
Carrots and sweet potato are high in sugar. Hemp goes with beef but if you do poultry use flax instead. You have to have liver. It should be 5% of the meat weight. Kelp for the iodine
Kind of... an alternative is turkey and chicken. I wouldn’t recommend anything else
I’m really excited I found you Rodney and Dr Becker! I’ve been watching you both a lot! I did get the probiotic that I believe Dr Becker had her had on created. Now I can’t wait to start my 2 dogs on this food but, I’m unsure how much my 40lb dogs should eat per day or per meal. I’d love to find that information so I can begin. Do you sell a dog recipe book? I’d buy it today 🙌🏼 thank you again for loving all of our pets!
Please, please, please come up with a recipe for cats. And some modifications for cats with kidney disease (if any).
Jennifer Serkey catinfo.org/making-cat-food/ this is a recipe that a MVD uses for her own cats, and recommends it for "almost" all other cats, if nothing else feed your kitties low carb high protien wet/canned food :)
The best food for cats with kidney disease is Feline Instincts. It's a powdered supplement mix that you mix into ground, raw meat along with water, canned pumpkin, a little bit of salmon oil. Here is the link: felineinstincts.com/feline-instincts-crf-my-natural-kidney-support-diet/ There are no ground bones in this recipe like in the Dr. Lisa Pierson recipe. Although that is a good recipe for healthy cats, it is not recommended for cats with kidney disease.
My CRF kitty inhaled this recipe and it really helped bring his kidney values down. Hope this helps. :)
look at catnutrition.org for a perfect cat recipie. I've been using it 10 years and my cats are always super healthy. The ones that were adult when we started lived to be 17-19 yrs old.
Wow, honestly this was a great video. I have done so much research but somehow it still left me confused. This video showed me how easy it is to start and how I can slowly add. I was always worried it would not be a balance meal but if I always have this recipe in my pocket and being able to add on it really gives me peace of mind. Its alot more affordable. This video really helped my decision to start feeling raw
Did you know that Dr. Karen Becker has a whole book just on exactly how to feed homemade dog or cat food and to make sure the are getting their nutrition? Excellent guide book with recipes. You can find it on Dr, Mercola’s website, I don’t know if it is on Amazon or not
Thank you very much for this recipe. It already looks to me, that my dogs will love it.
Just recently I was watching several dingoes preparing the evening meal, fresh vegetables and supplements are an integral part of wild dog nutrition. I was amazed at the fire starting skills of dingoes and their ability to fashion a frypan from local iron ore deposits. Dinner conversation was centred on the need to find fresh avocado for breakfast.
How do we measure the amount of food daily given to our dogs size? On dry, I feed a 30lb dog 2 cups daily, would it be the same or should I feed less or more?
You would measure in grams or whatever metric you use 😊 Your dog should eat 2-3% of thier body weight (my dog is 9kg and eats 225g of raw food per day) Hope this helped
Emily & Flash i dont understand how to do the calculations my staffordshire bull terrier is 11kg how many grams should she eat? Pls help
@@kelelafucksmysoul4340 its not very hard to figure out the measurement thanks to the girl above, 9kg÷225 = 25g per kg
25×11 = 275g. Thats about how much your dog needs :)

How would I feed a puppy a fresh food diet? Multiple times this video stated this was appropriate for adult dogs. So how would I feed a puppy?
check online if your puppy can eat the items on the ingredient list
With puppies you need to be careful that they get the right calcium-phosphorous ratio and amounts, especially large breeds can develop skeletal issues. Bone has the right proportions of calcium and phosphorous and should make up about 10% of a raw/ barf diet for puppies. With this recipe I guess you'd need to increase the amount of ground egg shell, but there might be other considerations that I'm not aware of.
I really appreciate this!! It seems that most of the recipes out there are nutritionally deficient and require you to buy their expensive nutritional blend to make the recipe sound. 🤦🏻♀️
Looking forward to your recipe book coming out. 😊
I did a lot of research on this topic before i started to feed my dog raw meats and please guys, do your research! While this might be a balanced meal i don‘t see how a dog that only gets this food would have a balanced diet.
I write this because in the comments i read things like "i only feed this to my dog" and that it not a good idea! This is a good starting point but do your research before switching your dogs diet. (Also a raw fed diet isn‘t suitable for all dogs.)
In the long run:
Half an eggshell is not enough calcium for dogs, that‘s why they need bones. They also help with plaque!
Dogs need more than a small piece of liver. Feed your dog hearts, lungs and kidneys. They need it to stay healthy.
Where is the important fats from milk products such as jogurt? (While milk products are optional i highly recommend feeding them)
I‘d choose cut pieces of meat over ground meat long term. While ground meat has more fats, it’s in my opinion only suited for small breeds. You should feed your dog lager pieces of meat because with a meat-based diet the dogs stomach produces more stomach acid to break up the meat. Therefore they are able to break down lager pieces and actually start to need lager peices or the over production of stomach acid could become a problem.
Dogs do need carbs too, especially when they are very active.
(How much are you even supposed to feed your dog of this mixture? )
Also, please change the bell pepper with carrots. While red peppers aren‘t as dangerous for your dog, they need to be cooked before fed to your dog and should only be fed in moderation. And don‘t forget the fruits! Apples and strawberries are great. They are my dogs favourite.
Please do your research and don‘t only rely on videos like this. While i understand it‘s supposed to show how easy this kind of diet is, you shouldn‘t switch your dogs diet based upon one video without having done your research. A raw fed diet is easy...and not. It also has it‘s own dangers.
I cant believe how long it took me to find this comment
Where can I find homemade food quantity calculations based on age, weight, breed size? Online it only shows dry dog/wet food calculators... 😔 😭
Check out the RUclips Chanel primal pack. They have tons of videos that go in depth and include resources for measurements
Could you please give us an idea of how much and how often you feed your dogs?
As in how many oz per pound. Thank You!
Look up the calorie content of each ingredient ... add them together and compare with how much your dog is eating now (as long it is maintaining a healthy weight) and then adjust up or down.
Heike King this is what confuses me....I have to add up calories? Jeezez I don't even add up calories for myself how am I going to manage doing it for six dogs
2.5 % of your dogs weight?
@@GypsyinAus you just have to do it once
Lucille s I don’t understand your reply sorry
Can you recommend a substitute for the red bell pepper? I'm worried about an inflammatory reaction
no substitutions, they have vitamin c though which is anti inflammatory
Just ate some of what I cooked for Passion tonight..... Taste really good
I'm concerned with adding the sardines ground up with the beef after reading about combining fish containing thiaminase with raw protein blends risks a deficiency of thiamin (Vitamin B1). They say you shouldn't store the ground up fish & ground up meat together. A deficiency in b1 scares me because the article I read said it doesn't take long for the negative effect which includes an enlarged heart. Wish I had known this before making this recipe & feeding it to my dog for 3 days already. I have a 5 lb dog who eats 4 oz of food per day so I have alot left over to freeze after making it & I certainly don't want to kill her! Another thing that concerns me is they dont tell you how many mcgs are in the kelp they use. That's kind of a big deal seeing how different products have different amounts. For instance now kelp has 450 mcgs with a tiny scoop. After doing the math my little dog needs around 50 mcg/day so instead of adding kelp to this recipe when I made it. I just add a tiny amount to her bowl everyday. It would be nice if dr becker or rodney would respond to this on their thoughts!
I've been doing this recipe for my little Maggie (shih-tzu) for quite some time. She LOVES it! However, her vet believes that beef and chicken could possibly be the cause of her ear infections, and some skin itching. So, her vet told me to replace the beef with fish. So, that's what I've done. I use Basa fillets and tuna (while still using the sardines called for in the recipe). Could you please tell me if there's other adjustments that I should make due to the switch from beef to fish? The vet hasn't seen any other changes in Maggie's health other than the ear infections have cleared up finally, and the itching has subsided greatly. I give Maggie this food for one meal each day, and a holistic dry, vegan food (by Halo) for her second meal of the day. Oh, and I bake the recipe like a casserole in the oven. I layer the fish fillets, then the rest of the mixture layered on top. I multiply the recipe by 4 times, and I get a months worth of meals for Maggie.
It is highly doubtful that beef or chicken would cause the problem, I would be much more concerned about processed vegan food for an animal whose teeth clearly identify him as a carnivore. Try lamb, pork, turkey, goat, rabbit, venison, bison, etc. in your recipe. Also, if your vet is okay with you feeding vegan to your dog, I'd find another vet.
Can we alternate the beef with chicken, turkey or salmon? I've been making a big batch and freezing in meal portions - my dog loves it! THANKS!
Karina Kh salmon would probably be best, but raw chicken can work
Yes, you can. You can even mix them together. I think this recipe used beef because people don't freak out as much about raw beef as they do about raw fish or poultry. You should freeze your fish for 3 weeks just to kill any potential parasites.
thank you!
thank you!
Karina Kh. salmon. real good. stick with the small fish like salmon macreal caz of mercury in the bigger fish
Personally I don't like liver so I substituted breadcrumbs. With a little ketchup it was the best meatloaf I ever had
You dog
I laughed. You sir are wonderful.
I have been making my dogs food for awhile now, but I also am grateful for this recipe also! I am going to add some of your ingredients to mine :) Thank you for doing this for us out here.
The hardest part of this recipe is finding some of these ingredients...they are out there, but not every grocery store has them.
Doesn't say how much to feed to different sized dogs? This is approximately a pound of food. For what sized dog! Thank you.
ask your vet or there are charts online providing the weight of food required for the weight of the dog
Google
(dogs weight) x .02 = how many pounds per day
my dog weighs 67lbs, so his daily meat intake would be 1.34lbs or 21.5 ozs per meal or devided into 2 meals 10.75oz
My GSD is 75 pounds, how much of this do I feed her per day? Thank you!
Kelly Drake I feed mine like 3 1/2 to 4. But if it’s a very active dog you should bump that up depending on how much exercise it’s getting
Kelly Drake I usually feed mine 3 1/2 to 4. If it’s an active dog you should bump that up depending on how exercise it’s getting

I read that the oxalate in spinach isn't good for dogs and that cruciferous vegetables like brussel sprouts, cabbage, bok choi and/or broccoli should be used instead.
pitbullpappa dogs arent meant to eat plants their biological evolution dosent call for it. Humans need plants ex. Fruit, berries, nuts and seeds bc we thrive on it. Cholesterol is expelled 100 percent in excrement in dogs however. they need raw organs, meat and bones for a happy healthy doggo.
JOMADeeNA dogs do need greens actually it's great for their digestive system. they don't eat a lot but usually about about a about a small handful
Oxalate is destroyed with heat, buy frozen precooked spinach. Problem solved.
@@internetexplorer789 insanely wrong...
Well dogs are scavenging carnivores they have adopted to process some plants based diet, their ancestral eats grass as well. Adding veggies in the diet will help avoid micronutrients difeciency etc
Would love to know the Kcal / Cup so I can figure out how much to feed my pooch. What a great analysis you have completed.
This is incredibly helpful! What is the margin of error if I want to add in other things, like carrots, Kale, berries, bone broth, yogurt, herbs, etc to give her a little variety each time? Should I consider those things substitutions for any of the listed ingredients, or just whack them in there when I feel like I love her a little extra that day? Or am I projecting my feelings onto my dog (no way) and over-valuing variety?
Also, She's been getting salmon oil for a long time (with her kibble) What is the major difference between salmon oil and cod oil?
I really appreciate these videos, as well as the smarty-pants, math-doing, well-versed doggy nutrition insights of the commenters, too! Thank you all! Tell your dogs I said hi and enjoy your meals!
This is 1 serving right? So to make bulk just double or triple it?
I was thinking the same. Is this portion for 1 dog and how big is the dog?
I made this and my dogs inhaled it
did you serve it raw or cooked?
I did mine raw, but I served the portion smaller so that I could add some chicken necks in there. I like when they have something to chew and not just immediately swallow
(:plus i love the crunching sound:)

Thank you so much it’s so scary that you’re going to do the wrong thing when you go in the store and buy a bag I thought that was the right thing and safe then I got sick myself and learned about GMO‘s then I found out what the government was allowing to get into our stores not only are we getting sick but our animals are two again you guys are amazing thank you so much you’re a blessing✨❤️✨🙏🏻✨☯️
There’s nothing showing that GMOs are detrimental to human health at this time :/
is it ok if I use fresh ginger instead of powder ginger? thanks
You could. That would be even desirable, since it would be fresher. But you'd need to grate or mince it fine and mix up in the rest of the food.
Ya, my dog wouldn't eat her food with fresh ginger in it.
Any guidelines on volume to feed according to weight?
1/2 months =10% of body weight
2/3months= 9%
3/4months= 8%
4/6months =6%
6/9 months = 4%
9/12months =3%
12+ feed as adult 2-3%

Not true dogs eat raw foods in the wild which was where thay were before we took them in as pets
@@teodoramora705
You're a dumbass.
Dogs have been domesticated, and they've evolved. That means their stomachs have evolved to eat what they feed them. Get off the internet, kiddo.
This is somewhat true only if you plan to feed them raw pork. (not recommended!)
3 days is all you need of freeze the meat to kill the parasites not 2-3 weeks. Learned that from a meat cutter.
Looks delish. I like the idea of food source supplements. However I would dry out the egg shell and pulverise it to powder as opposed to blitzing it wet, just to avoid the shards of egg shell.
Im looking for ideas for feeding a lost dog until I hear from the owner. And im comming from a mindset of cooking everything from scratch, gluten-free, on a budget for my family, and im thinking "Why would I buy overpriced overprocessed who-knows-where-from for a beloved animal if I wouldnt do it for my family?". even though it's not my pet, just got me thinking.
Thanks for showing that its possible.
People say commercial dry dog food is horrible. I use kirkland dog food and my dogs look great! They are healthy, strong, their hair is shiny . For my fast growing doberman puppy I use Blue buffalo puppy food, he is doing great! He's 4 months old and he's about 40 pounds. There are some very cheap brands of dog food, buy there also good, and very good brands.
