- When our 10 - yr old dog Hooch was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease in December of 2019, he was given 3-6 months to live. After extensive research we decided to make 3 life changes for him for as long as we had left with him.
1. We transitioned him to a diet of 100% human grade dog food
2. We eliminated tap water for filtered.
3. We significantly increased his exercise.
The results of these simple changes made a HUGE impact on us and Hooch!
After only a few short months he had moved into stage 2 kidney disease indicators and at our one year recheck he showed absolutely zero signs of any kidney disease markers in his lab work. He had lost all of the excess weight he was holding on to before and he was healthier and happier than he had been in years!
This easy homemade dog food recipe combines lean ground sirloin, rice, fresh vegetables, hard boiled eggs, and tender herbs for a healthy, vibrant alternative to traditional dog food that has given our dog a new lease on life!

6 cups cooked rice
2 pounds ground lean beef, cooked through, fat drained
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced small
3 carrots, shredded or thinly sliced
1/4-1/2 cup minced fresh parsley or 1/4 cup dried herbs ***see my Homemade Dog Food Seasoning Blend post for a full list of herbs to feed your dog.
3 tablespoons of olive or safflower oil
For this version we also added in frozen wild blueberries and frozen green beans.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a large container and stir to combine completely. Store in the refrigerator in-between feedings.
The amount of food you feed your dog each day varies by weight. Our 80+ pound senior dog Hooch eats 4 1/2-5 cups of this food each day and our 40+ pound puppy Rebel eats 2 - 2 1/2 cups of food twice per day.
We go through a batch of this food pretty quickly with two big dogs, which means I am making a double batch at least once or twice a week! However, this food can be individually portioned out for smaller dogs and frozen to store for longer periods of time than a week. Just thaw the amount you need when you need it.

I am going to make this for my dog. He's in stage 3, and is now refusing his prescription diet. I'm hoping he also recovers. I love him with all my heart and praying he gets to live more years. He is 15 years old.
I hope he does well on that diet, let us know
Yes, those prescription diets are horrible for them
Just read a tip to grind egg shells in coffee bean grinder. Easy to do and clean😊
Ohh smart!
I've been feeding my 14 year old dog a home made diet the last 3 years and a raw diet just before that (which he became fussy with) after having a huge fatty tumour removed from his shoulder. He doesn't have to be on hardly any of his pain meds anymore for arthritis and people are always amazed at how old he is as he's doing so well. I'm definitely not feeding dry food or canned dog food to any future dogs I own it really is magic x
Wow! I’m so happy to hear that!
I always crush my egg shells with a mortar and pestle after baking them for 30 min on 350 to kill bacteria. Works great !! I use coconut oil in recipe
I"d avoid any seed oils as they are inflammatory, I use either olive oil or UNprocessed ORGANIC coconut oil. Seed oils are not healthy for HUMANS either.
Exactly!!!! 😊
Refined seed oils and refined vegetable oil don't only cause inflammation, but also the leaky gut syndrom!
Since I went all carnivore myself, I only use Ghee or white porc bacon for my dog and myself. Also carnivore fat helps digest meat.
Eggs provide your dog with 10 of the 22 essential amino acids he needs. In addition, eggs have a great number of very healthy vitamins. So not using the yolk is in fact not such a good idea.
Yes, the best thing is cooking for your dog. As far as eggshells, you should keep them in the refrigerator and the ones that are already made in powder, you should use them in three months. Also oil becomes rancid so you have to put it in the food ,the time of feeding .Use coconut oil it’s gonna give you all the omega as well. For animals for best absorption and digestion we need to put our veggies and fruits in a food processor or blanch veggies or cook them.
I wish Hooch the best of luck ❤
love your dog videos!
❤ I lost a little one to CHF Oct 2023. Just adopted a senior pomeranian w stage 2 CKD. Binge watching videos to improve his health. Thank you for your presentation. Greatly appreciate. Ive always cooked homemade meals over good quality kibble for all my dogs. 😊
I spend 15 to 20 minutes twice a day prepping breakfast and supper for my son's German Shepherd. It's a labor of love, because I've lost 3 dogs to cancer and I'm sure it's because they eat "DEAD" food, it's called Kibble. Now I use a little Fresh Pet chicken loaf with cooked chicken livers and 3/4 cup of dry food that sets me back 60.00 for 24 lbs. I don't want my dogs to just survive, I want them to prosper. His meals are served warm, just like a fresh kill.
@@jumpercable20 i do the same exact move. I just rescued a senior chu wa-wa w stage 2 CKD n a really terrible nasty ear infection- been busy researching good quality meals n treats. I'm stuck on the green ju ju as a start n cook additives like sweet potatoes hearts / gizzards, liver. He loves yogurt in the am to get him started followed w a cooked egg w/ lean ground beef or turkey mixed.
Ty for all the good info
Thank you for doing this video
we have been battling high BP and stage 3 kidney disease for 4 months. We have been using can renal diet for 4 month. Friday we were given stage 4 diagnosis. I found this video yesterday and immediately went to store and started the homemade dog food journey. I am so excited that my very picky little girl loves this recipe. Thank you so much
Hey ! How's your dog now ? My baby is currently in stage 4 CKD
@@claire-us3iw unfortunately, she passed away less than a week after after this post. I wish i had found this video sooner. The few days that she ate it, she loved it. She suddenly stopped eating, and had a horrid smell, which is common with advanced kidney disease. Her decline happened so fast. The veterinarian warned us that she was in final stages. We are devastated, but also know that we have learned a lot, In regards to Providing a healthy diet for our furry babies. If I could stress anything to anyone, it would be to make sure your dog or cat has a routine blood pressure every year. Her kidney disease was a result of chronic high blood pressure, for probably years. It not only affected her kidneys it also caused thickening of the left ventricle of her heart. Watching the video, gave me insight to what I need to do for the fur baby that remains with us today. There is no doubt that preparing food for your dog is the best possible diet you could give them. I appreciate you Reaching out to me and checking in. I am so sorry that you are also going through this, and hope there is still time for your pup to improve
I am so sorry to hear this! I'm happy to hear you have at least been able to learn so much through your research that you can use with your current fur baby ❤️
I’m really sorry to hear about your pup, I don’t understand why they don’t include the blood pressure test in routine check ups…
What a great tip about the eggshells!! Your dogs are beautiful and so are you! I’m paying so much for Farmers Dog! My Chesador is doing great on it though. My wallet? Not so much 😂 I’m going to try the transition to making it.
Thank you for this. I have been feeding homecooked and raw food for my dogs for many years. I have never used an instant pot but maybe I should look into this. 👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wow❤❤❤❤❤
I use a cookie sheet and dehydrate the food into smaller sizes. I make a lot and keep it in jars.
Great idea!
hi i really enjoyed this video, your straight to the pont and i like that, i had spent hours looking for dosage of calcium, i saw your first video and you ticked the box thankyou so mich
could you please do a diet for a senior dog with mammary cancer on what to feed her, needed supplements, mix and match vegies on a healthly cheap diet please
thankyou x from australia my 14 year old girl is a stumpy tail bluee heeler woof woof
Thanks for the recipe! Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead?
You sure can - I would start with turkey as it is often easier on dog's tummies. Chicken is a known allergen and actually makes our dogs pretty sick to their tummies.
Thank you for this!! But ... the Dog Greens is out of stock in Canada (where I am from) and the US. Is there an alternate product we could use? (My girl was stage 4, now stage 2 but eating rx foods and I need her off of them!) Thank you!!
I was surprised at how difficult it was to grind the shells into a powder. I always found little tiny pieces of eggshell. I’ll just have to keep working at it. Thank you for these tips!
I dehydrate the egg shells in the oven at 200° for about 30-45 minutes, then put them in a coffee grinder, it makes a fine powder, very easy. You don't really need to dehydrate the egg shells just rinse and dry. I just give my dog (80 lb German Shepherd), 1 tsp of powdered egg shell. Not difficult at all IF you love your pet.
@@jumpercable20 I was going to suggest the coffee grinder but didn’t know about heating them! Thanks!
@@jumpercable20 I used the coffee grinder and no matter how long I ground the shells there were still pieces too big to put in her food. I’ve even tried putting them out in the sun as others have suggested. I will try the oven because that would be more controlled and I think I would have better results. Thank you.
Try crushed shells in a coffee bean grinder. Open cautiously. It’s a Powder! I see others have found this . I only do about 8 halves at a time.
I put my egg shells on a baking sheet and let dry in the sun then grind in a coffee grinder
Can you add a type of rice to that recipes? And what was the name of that liquid vitamin that you bought off of Amazon? I didn't get that I guess I agree to transcript Great video I just got me a instapot for Christmas. I haven't even opened it. I wanted it just for this reason to make my dogs healthier and homemade dog food.
Is it 2 lbs meat/poultry weighed after cooking or before cooking in this recipe? Thanks
Hello I wanted to ask you about your dog food topper seasoning blend recipe, I’m curious if it’s absolutely necessary to use freeze dried herbs or if it’s acceptable and safe to use the herbs that are in the seasoning aisle ? Idk if my local store will have all of the freeze dried herbs needed for the recipe and it’s hard for me to get out of town too often so I’m hoping that I can safely use the seasonings of these herbs if I cannot find the freeze dried ones. I home cook for my 3 small dogs and just recently made the switch to homemade diets for them and finally did what I had been wanting to do for the last 2 years and was apprehensive about making the switch not knowing what to cook for them that would be safe and healthy for them, then I came upon your homemade dog food recipe and immediately switched them to a homemade diet and no longer feel like an awful mommy to my babies every time I feed them! I know that I am prolonging their lives and giving them a better quality of life by giving them food that is freshly made and I know exactly what I am feeding them now rather than hoping that the ingredients that are listed on the back of a kibble bag are actually what is in the food and it feels amazing and now I know that I am being the best mommy that my babies could ask for and it feels great to know that I have made a decision that will keep them in my life longer and keep them happy and healthy a lot longer. Thank you
Fresh herbs are great!
On some research, soft boiled eggs are the healthiest for dogs. Including the membrane that is under the shell and use half the shell (crushed).
What do you mean by filtered water? Like a Zero Water pitcher water filter to filter out minerals? We have our own well for the house (no chlorine or other chemicals) just the minerals found in well water.
Thank you for your question! Yes, this is okay.
Hi, just found your video while doing research journey. My Madisson is 13yo, diagnosed last year with stage 2 kidney disease. For your meat choice, is ground venison ok or too harsh for kidneys? Hubby and I started her on it with sweet potatoes, carrots, and a green ( broccoli, spinach or green bean).So glad to have found you. Checking out your other videos. Thank you for sharing knowledge 🙏
We use this mixture as a kibble topper to the prescription diet- which I don’t like….
Hi Janice!
Oh my goodness - I’m glad you found the video helpful. My understanding is that venison and other game meats are pretty high in phosphorus which is something you want to avoid when preparing meals and treats for a dog with kidney disease. We opt for ground beef because it’s lower in phosphorus. I would definitely consult with my vet regarding how much deer meat Madisson should consume. I hope this helps!
I wished you mentioned how much protein per body weight. Like carb ratios to protein and veggies.
Great suggestion! This is also a good topic to discuss with your vet just to be sure you are giving your pup the right amount for their size and weight.
My puppy seems to have serious health problems (6 months old). Her vet said she looks fine. I looked on the web and found kibbles might have caused the problem. DIY food will be the way now.
So what do u warm it in the instant pot?
I have a question. Time doesn’t allow me to do a home cook dog food so I’m considering The Farmer’s Dog along with Freeze Dry Raw, what do you think?
Try Doctor Harvey’s.
I’m feeding Farmers Dog with like a handful of Dr. Marty’s and my dog is doing great! It’s pricey for a big dog though so I’m going to start mixing it up 😅
I'm not familiar with that brand since we make our own - but here's our vet-approved herb mix you can add to any food: thismessisours.com/homemade-dog-food-seasoning-blend/
Just came here to get more ideas for home made dog food. I’m not sure if you are still using farmers dog but I did as a trial and found it super pricey. Decided to make my own food. When I went to cancel the subscription they offered a nutrition packet for me to add to my home made food and it was only about $30 for nine weeks. I used that for my homemade recipe to add all the vitamins and other minerals I may be lacking. It was a game changer. They even provided recipes for my dog based on the portion and needs she was being fed with the subscription service.
Let’s not forget to give them different types of protein too. It’s very important.
How long can I store it in the fridge? I have one medium dog. I worry about the expiration of the food.
It stays fresh for up to a week in the fridge.
What was the amount of green beans you used please x
here's the whole recipe: thismessisours.com/easy-homemade-dog-food-recipe/
Hi there! I do have a question. Are boiled eggs better than any other? I enjoyed your video and thanks so much for sharing all the valuable information.
the eggs don't have to be boiled - but I find it easiest.
I make a recipe and cook it all in pressure cooker. I add the uncooked meat and rice and raw veggies and everything and cook for 21 min on low pressure. My vet mentioned me leaving meat out all together for my dog in renal failure. In my research I’ve found that they still need good meats. I also add 3 tsp tumeric and 2 tsp ginger. Mine is Turkey or hamburger or chicken , sweet potatoes , carrots , apple , spinach , gr beans , peas, rice, pumpkin , coconut oil , tumeric and ginger . What are your thoughts ??
And egg shells and egg whites
All that sounds great!
How can I find your blog ?
it's in the description - but here's a direct link: thismessisours.com/easy-homemade-dog-food-recipe/
Why do you layer the ingredients n not just mix it n do u not have to cook the vegies?
Thanks for the recipe but don't you cook it all together in the Instant pot?
cooking method is in the description - but here's a direct link: thismessisours.com/easy-homemade-dog-food-recipe/
Are all the vegetables raw?
Yes!
You do not need all those separate vitamins that you're trying to make money off of! You only need a complete canine supplement with eggs and shells. I didn't see you putting any of this stuff in your food in this video? Thank you for sharing. I did get a tip from you "Parsley" I will look into that for sure. Thanks
If no I’m
Another channel just said that dogs with kidney disease should not be having uncooked green beans ….. confusing.
we work directly with our vet.
I'm assuming that since you are promoting your recipes to the public on RUclips you've had them analysed to make sure they are balanced if not people are probably better off feeding a high end kibble
🥱😑
