Ingredients: -3lbs carrots -1 sweet potato -12oz bag of greenbeans -1 zucchini -3 medium heads of broccoli -4lbs protein -3/4 teaspoon tumric -kale or spinach -calcium 7 tablespoons~1 tablespoon per pound -1/2 cup of rice (brown or white) Directions: 1. Peel & cut up carrots & sweet potatoes 2. Get 2 medium sized pots, place in the carrots & sweet potatoes. Fill the vegetables in the pot with water, then cook on stove over medium heat until soft. 3. Chop cup your zucchini, shred broccoli & snap greenbeans. Set aside in a bowl. 4. Cook meat in a large pot over medium heat until the meat is only a bit cooked. 5. Add tumric & the kale/spinach to the meat & incorporate it in. Add in the bowl of zucchini, broccoli, & greenbeans. 6. When the carrots & sweet potatoes are soft drain the water from the pots. Mash up the sweet potatoes, then add them to the large pot. Mix in again 7. Add in the calcium & rice, turn off heat & give a final stir mixing in the ingredients well. 8. Put food in containers & store in fridge or freezer. I hope this written recipe helped, thank you for the cool recipe Shelby. We have a little Pomeranian terrier mutt named Tigger, he has been getting sick his whole life & having these episodes. He starts shaking & can barely move, he also throws up. It’s pretty sad to see him go through that & after watching a documentary called “Pet Fooled” our family decided maybe it was a better option for Tigger if we made his own food. I think anyone can make food for their dogs with a little effort, I mean I’m only 15 & I wrote this whole recipe out for you. Also please don’t be afraid to change up the recipe & give different vegetables & meat to your dogs, preferably ones they like. Also miss RUclipsr it would be pretty cool if you could add this recipe to your description or just pin the comment. Thanks for reading & please critique or interpret this recipe anyway you like.
Awe, Teresa you're so sweet❤🥰 I'd also like to take a second to remind people to to always do their own research and find out what works best for their dog. It's not exactly a one size fits all approach. Also, it can be just as beneficial to add some fresh foods to your dogs kibble💕
Excellent Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my BF at very last got astronomical results with it.
teresa dunigan have you ever tried cbd oil or cbd treats? It can help with pain, nausea, it helps with things connected to muscles so could help his shaking as well. I like the brand “treatibles cbd dog treats” for my dog. She has arthritis and it has helped her tremendously along with a home cooked diet :)
When I got my first dog in the third grade, I expected to buy the kibble but my Mexican family was like no he's a part of the family he eats what we're going to eat. He ended up living off of my grandma's chicken veggie soup his whole life, he completely loved it and I'm proud to say that aside from the annual shots, he never went to the vet for any illness. Even when he was passing of old age, he still looked/acted young and his coat never really lost his color. He couldn't see me graduate but I spent 15 wonderful years next to a super healthy dog. Fast forward half a year after his passing and I was gifted a new puppy. When I took her to the vet at two months, I explained to them that I was feeding her the same like my previous dog and they berated me for doing that, told me to at least give her kibble until 1 year old she she could have a balanced diet growing up. She hated it, even when I would splurge on the high-end kibble. I would mix it with the soup and she wouldn't touch the kibble, only lick around it. Now that the year is up I am trying to get back to looking up recipes like these, we're a couple of weeks in and she cleans the plate now, she loves eating whole stuff 🎉
Awe thank you! Yes I wanted to be honest and open about that because sometimes people are quick to assume. I agree with you! Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment🥰
asvinni yes I agree too...If dogs lived in the wild, what would they eat yep they would hunt for small prey...No rocket science here...These vegans need to use their brains...
@@Poreckylife vegetarian is different from vegan, dogs biologically are carnivores, they can eat other things to survive but in the long they will not thrive optimally, I have been rescuing dogs of all aged between for decades and have learned a natural cooked food or raw diet mostly of varied meats with some veggies preferably cooked is ideal. See Dr Dobias, Dr becker, Dr Pitcairn and Dr Jones, they are gets in Canada and USA. Dogs do not process grains like we can.
Ronnie yes! You need to supplement the food with vitiamins and minerals. Calcium is very important. I recommend animals essentials seaweed calcium and animal essentials multivitamins animalessentials.com/ Here is an easy guideline to follow when making homemade dog food maggielovesorbit.com/basic-foundation-homemade-dog-food/
Ronnie. If you can feed your dog raw food and not cook anything the better. The video is a good starting off point but it is not a balanced diet. Dogs derive from wolves and wolves pretty much only have a raw diet. The recipe calls for about 5 pounds of veggies/supplements and only 4 pounds of meat. This is not right. Dogs need more meat than that. One of the other problems with this recipe is there are no organs and bones. Livers are extremely nutrient dense. I give my dog all organic and all natural from at the source itself. She doesn't need calcium supplements because she gets ground up bones in her food. I mean, why would you take a synthetic supplement vs the natural source itself? Dogs should have no less than 75% raw meats,bones and organs. Not all dogs can handle raw at first or just in general so you may need to play around with it. Marion hessek. You just have to play around with different amounts and see what's best for them. My co-workers dog is 75 pounds and mine is 60. However, her dog eats three times the amount my puppy eats. Both dogs are very healthy. It just depends on a few things. At least twice a day but three smaller meals would be better for digestion(eating off the ground helps with them digesting their food too. My puppy eats about a foot off the ground) The same time every day is ideal but this can be hard to work around sometimes.
I believe dogs live longer eating fresh foods opposed to eating processed foods. That is how they get digestive problems and cancers. I’ve been into cooking for dogs since 2005 everyone thought I was nuts go figure
Me too, started in about 2004-2005 b/c of some health problems in my 3 little dogs, bladder stones. My vet gave me a recipe and I've been making and modifying that recipe for years, and my little ones live for 14-17 years. I adopt old Yorkies and keep them until they pass, and they love the food.
@@susanp102 thats so wonderful! our pets deserve whats put on this earth for them. Why should they be deprived of that to make millions for processed dog food companies
@@ChrisTina-yc8wx Mine is simple 4:1 or so meat to cooked brown rice, whatever organic veggies or fruit I have in the garden. Right now it's summer squash, apples and a little greens. Since my babies are all seniors, I have to make their food soft, so I puree it with bone broth, organic if I can find it. I also add SamE and Milk Thistle, (per my vet) and little bit of vitamins. I go lite on the vitamins because of their age and the fact that some have poor kidney function. I cook the meat with a little bit of coconut oil. I give them beef and turkey, have been avoiding chicken because of past dogs with allergies.
My dog passed away at 9 years old and he was fed only dry kibble throughout his life. He was sick one week and got better then the next week he became sick and died the next day. I truly truly believe that healthy nutrient rich food is important!! I since then have gotten a puppy and have started to expand my knowledge on dog food and even treats. Thank you for this video!!
Yes! haha Thanks, Yahwo! 🙏I realized I talked a lot at the beginning but wanted to provide some background for those who are new into feeding their dogs fresh food. Thanks for watching- have a great day!
I do almost exactly the same thing, but I add some eggs, cauliflower and a little bit more rice into the mix. And right when I'm serving it to my dogs I add a table spoon of Greek yogurt and some organic blueberries, my dogs love it.
@@Iloverandomness100 I add the berries and the yogurth right when I'm serving the prep food, it is 4-5 berries and 1/2 tea spoon of yogurth every meal, 2 times a day. Medium size dog 55 lbs, why?.
@@prettyinpink3716 sometimes raw (I would only give them 2 or 3 eggs a week max) but mostly I would cook them in a pan (scrambled), so if I'm making a batch for one week since I have 2 dogs I would cook 6 eggs and then add them into the mix.
I just made this recipe for my dog today, he’s a 1 year old dorkie (mini yorkie and dachshund) and he’s in LOVE. I used brown rice tho and I made 4 cups of it to mix in with everything. And surprisingly with how much he loves it, this is the only cooked food he doesn’t try to scarf down. He actually takes his time and enjoys it!! Makes me so happy!
I made this today and my two dogs loved it. I mean licking the floor under their bowl loved it! I added Lima beans and a tad of beef broth. Thank you for sharing! I made enough for 2 dogs for 12 days for $17.00!
Jaimee thanks SO MUCH for coming back to tell me this, yay! So glad your fur babies loved it as much as mine does! Maddie is all too happy to share her recipes with fur friends haha. Great additions! Thanks again for watching! You're an awesome dog parent! Have a great day!! Much love💕
I have 2 pitties how did u buy all yhat for 12 days for 2 dogs u must hve little dogs? Lol i jus started feeding my dogs cooked food trying out new things and still working 2 figure things out
I think I’m gonna start cooking healthy food for my dogs too. I had the misconception of home made food will make your dogs sick and stomach issues. One of my dogs don’t like the dry food in ANY way and with nothing lol 😂 🙈, poor thing. Now I know home made healthy food it’s ok and better. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recipe. Wonderful and well behaved dog🥰
Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate at last got amazing success with it.
I thought the same, that there would not be enough nutrition. I’m not sure if I’m going to start cooking dog food. However, I have started making super green powder by dehydrating a lot of great organic greens. I put them in our food all the time. I think I will start giving about a teaspoon a day to our dogs as well.
Instead of peeling the sweet potatoes and boiling (you lose alot of nutrients in the water) try leaving skin on, poking a few holes and baking them! Retains ALL the nutrients and peeling is a breeze coming from the oven😊😊
Lala Gallegos Dogs do NOT need rice or quinoa they can’t digest it. It’s not part of a natural diet for dogs. It provides no nutritional value. They are cheap fillers
Thank you so much!! I have just recently begun diving into the research on this & it has been quite overwhelming! So much contradictory information & so much misinformation! This video has been super helpful. 💜
I am so very glad you found this helpful- that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment to let me know. Take care❤
I've been feeding my 13 year old Westie homemade most of his life and he has the health and energy of a dog half his age!! Processed dog food is FULL of carcinogenics and is killing our pets 5-6 years before their time!!
I watched a few of these videos 5 months ago and started doing it for my dog. He is doing great. Loves his food and can’t wait to eat it. He used to have stomach issues but they are gone and he is putting on healthy weight, he was always a little too skinny. Lots of energy and a total overall improvement. The expensive dry food wasn’t cutting it anyway. I purposely tracked down this video to comment as it was this recipe I followed and wanted to say it thanks. It really did make a difference for my dog. I will continue to do this and share my experience with other people as well.
awww 🥰 what a little cutie!!! She waited so patiently!! 😆 my dog does not like dog food at all and I’ve been so depressed because he’s not eating much, thank you soooo much I’m gonna try this!
It's really strange how videos like this pop up when you're just "thinking" of it. I decided yesterday to start making homemade dog food for my baby after issues with store bought foods! Thank you for sharing this info! And ignore all the negative Nellie complainers on here. God Bless! ☺
Thank you. Very helpful. I've been feeding my dog a (very expensive) raw commercial dog food, and I would like to switch him to a home prepared option. I will definitely try this! A couple of comments: I wouldn't peel the carrots and sweet potato. There are lots of nutrients in the peeling, and your doggo wouldn't mind the taste at all. Also, instead of using the calcium supplement, you might consider adding a couple eggs to your recipe (cook them in your mixture with the turkey). Then use the egg shells as your calcium. You can grind them in a food processor or blender and then just add them as you do your powder. Egg shells are 40% calcium carbonate, the rest is protein and other beneficial minerals. Thanks again. Sorry for the long reply.
Don't put eggs shells into diet. Please remove skin from carrots and sweet potatoes!! Bacteria hides on skin folks. Becareful when U sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can have too much vitamin A on their system. Try russet potatoes and peel skin.
Excellent video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got excellent results with it.
Love this!! Ive been giving my dog farmers dog (its home-cooked fog food delivery) but im switching over to cooking it myself. Your dog is so cute and this video helped me!
I just found this video and tried the recipe today. We have two little 11 year old Maltese pups and they gobbled their food! This is much more economical and healthier to cook rather than pay $10/small package of food that lasts 4 days. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I cook for my dog to but I use eggshell powder that I make from ground up eggshells. I put them in a baking pan and cook them in the oven for 3-4 minutes at 300 degrees to kill the bacteria then I cool them and grind them in a coffee bean grinder, I only use the grinder for eggshell. You should rinse and dry them before putting in the oven. I also use a fine sieve after I grind them to catch larger pieces and re-grind them. Eggshell is very high in calcium. 1/2 tsp per2 cups of food.
You couldn't have posted this comment at a better time! I have been saving up eggshells to make this and your description and directions are so helpful!! I just took a screenshot. Thank you SO much for sharing! 🙌♥️
I cook for my dog as well. Just boil everything together ( the meat, veggies, and the rice) in one big pot with a little bit of water. I use regular pot, like the one you prepare your meat in. No fuss! Simple, and better than any commercial dog food.
Avi Ah rice is not part of a natural diet for dogs. It’s a grain and they can’t digest it. It provides no nutritional value. It’s purely a cheap filler. So WHY feed it?
I use organic brown rice. But, if my dog doesn't feel good, a white bland rice actually can help, and it's temporary. Some use quinoa instead of rice.My vet said a good rule is to go a third on meat, third on carbs, third on veggies.
Stay away from rice. This is totally wrong. You will NEVER see a dog, wolf, or coyote grazing a rice paddie. And they don't cook their food before eating it either.
This is perfect and makes complete sense. you know exactly what your puppy is getting. I like that still has a bit of texture and not mush so they can chew.
Glad to see someone else makes their own food too! I’ve been doing something similar for years now. Mines not allergic to their kibble, so I make mine as “wet food”. Mine gets protein (turkey, chicken....) bag of frozen veggies (it does have the sodium that canned veggies usually has), but then I add a filler, rice or lentils. Sometimes I’ll make mine the tomato sauce sometimes not. I’ll add this mix to their kibble, if it doesn’t have the tomato sauce, then I’ll add a little bit of water when I put this with their dry food they like the flavored water that it makes.
Is there a reason you dont add any fruit? I do almost the same recipe but add uncooked bananas or shredded pineapple as superfruits (sometimes fresh raw seeded cherries and blueberries for inflammation and joint health)and put a whole small sized turkey, bones and all, with yams and kale in the slow cooker overnight. The bones turn to mush and they get the benefit of the marrow. That all goes in the food processor with fruit and grated fresh ginger root. I also sprinkle probiotics/acidophilus/bifidus on each warm meal and occasionally Spirulina. I have 2 hairless Chinese Cresteds so good nutrition is critical for skin and health. Thx for sharing your routine. Showing how easy it is will hopefully encourage more pet parents to make changes.
I forgot to mention adding the oatmeal that I cook in with the carcass and yams and smash the bones good for the processor just as a precaution for shards. I will add brown rice if I need to make it last longer until I can make more. White rice is easier to digest but has 0 nutrition value.
I need to start adding the bones, especially now that I have an Instant Pot. I add blueberries too, Cami, and an apple. (Never the pits or core-pits are poisoness). I stick my finger in to test taste, but haven't stolen a whole dish for my supper...yet! As someone else commented, my dog eats better than I do...but making his food has inspired me to eat more varieties of veggies myself.
Squanch Wanch nasty comments are not necessary. To each his own! I almost lost my Boxer from a raw diet. She got food poisoning, and the food came from a reputable company. Not saying it happens often, but it does occur.
Squanch Wanch. I do believe many dogs greatly benefit from a raw diet, it’s just that I had a very bad experience . I also had a friend who’s little dog got sick as it couldn’t digest small bone particles in the raw mix and ended up at the vet with blood in the stool. I guess it all comes down to the right supplier. I don’t feed my dog any kibble or treats that come from China. I do occasionally get dry treats that state they are grain free and organic locally made. Organic! That’s another questionable statement, one is never sure if that is in fact correct or not. I only slightly brown my meat and organs, plus I make my own bone broth. We can only try our best in a World that is often full of misrepresentation. 🤗🐕
Wow ! The first homemade food video Ive watched that does not make me cringe and fearful . Key bonus points in my opinion. Very little rice if at all. Portions of protein to veggies. Dogs are carnivores by nature. Their balanced diets are not our balanced diets. No salted canned items including broth. You did not cook the food for hours. You cooked each item separate then combined. My only suggestions is when switching to homemade limit ingredients, especially if allergies are an issue. just like a baby introduce items slowly, keep a journal. Feed limited ingredients for a couple of weeks and watch for issues. If an issue arises see if you have added something new and remove it . Once allergies are triggered it may take months to resolve. You can always go back and try the item again. I have cooked for 3 dogs for over 5 years. all 3 allergic to chicken( this is very common) No sweet potato for 2, 1 no bananas. A journal really helps here. Huge kudos to you girl !
I’ve been cooking my dogs food for a long time now. Our recipe has 2 types of meat and 2 veggies. It’s heavier on the meat end. I’ve given her the seaweed calcium too but changed to whole sardines as a snack. Our dog also hangs out in the kitchen when I cook for her 😆
I love hearing stories like this!! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. Maddie has been loving sardines lately too! We give her salmon sometimes and she is obsessed. To the point where she wont go to bed at night and will sit in front of the stove waiting for more when it's gone! Haha sardines have a lot of health benefits too and the price is great! Oh they totally know when we are cooking for them, dogs are so smart!
Hey, if you ever run short on your calcium that you buy, you can also take eggshells and rinse them off and dry them. Then grind them into a powder. Put about 1/4 teaspoon into one serving or bowl of food. It is an excellent source of calcium.
You are a wonderful pet owner. You feed her right just like family. Her health will be better saving on vet bills and extending her life. I personally would add eggs to your recipe and grind up the shells for natural calcium. I also would add an omega 3 fish oil blend too. Yours is better then my home cooked recipe ( boiled chicken, string beans and sweet potato and br rice cooked in broth) so I'm trying yours next month. I use Dr. Mercolas Digestive Enzymes and Acidophilus too.
Awe thank you for your kind words❤ I really appreciate that and thank you for your tips too! I do add in a calcium supplement Instead of the egg shells. I'll have to look into the omega oils! Thanks for letting me know. You are also a wonderful pet owner💕😘
Thank you for this 💜 it breaks my heart because i dont see anyone cooking to their dogs. I love to cook to mine and people think i am crazy. My dogs digestion can't take raw meat either. This was a good inspiration🙏💕👌
I use an insta-pot to cook my meat, sweet potato, carrots, ginger, turmeric, pepper and any other veggies that I want. 1-2 cups water. I cook on meat for 15 minutes You are peeling the carrot and potatoes, that is a lot of good nutrition. Also the broccoli stems are great for her. Thank you for your video, your dog is adorable, looks like a Cavachon, which I have two.
Thank you so much for this. I know dog food is horrible and cause tear staining . So I was looking for homemade dog food . I knew sweet potshots were good for the tear stain
Hi Valerie! Awe thank you so much for the kind feedback. Much appreciated❤ I'm really happy to hear you found it helpful. I hope it helps with your dogs tear staining! I know it takes a while to see progress but you will after time. Best of luck to you😘
Thank you so much for uploading this. I have been struggling with 2 poms that do not want to eat can or kibble. I even bought a dog food cooking book but it was too many things and they ended up not eating after 2 weeks. The recipe you show up they totally love it. Thank you!!
This recipe is life changing for me and my dog. I have never seen my dog finished his plate in 20 second like he does now. He always excited and dancing when I am heating up his food(this recipe) which never happened before. Thank you for the recipe !!!!
Yeah, dogs need real food. This "people food" myth hurt millions of dogs, and was started by dog food companies trying to sell us spoiled corn, wheat, and soy to feed our dogs! Vets went/go along with it because their text books, in many cases, are funded by dog food companies 🤦 our dogs love real food, just like they'd eat in the wild
Great video!! The music was a little distracting especially when you were explaining in the beginning but it was all good info. I want to start cooking my dogs food for the month so this video was helpful. Please do an updated one if you have more than one recipe! Subscribed
Hi Madison! So glad to hear you found this helpful, that makes me so happy! You sound like a wonderful pet owner. I never expected this video to become so popular- I made it for the family and friends who always asked me about my dog food. I'll definitely cut the music in the next one when I'm talking now that I know people are interested and want to be able to focus on the information. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! Happy to have you as part of the community🥰💕
Great video. How do you decide how much of it to give your dog each meal? I know that kibble varies in portion depending on the brand, so I just wondered how you decide how much to give your dog?
I’ve been doing homemade food for over a year now and the results are clear. My dogs have more energy, beautiful coat, poop less ( there is research now supporting this). I also love seeing how excited they are when I’m cooking. It’s such a rewarding experience. Also, I never had issues with chicken for my dogs. I use lean ground beef or ground turkey and I cut up pieces of chicken breast. They are doing great with it
Kudos to you. I've been making my dog's food since 2000. Most people on RUclips that do homemade food are not knowledgeable at all. Makes me crazy. You are on the right track.
Hi Stacy! Since 2000 wow that's amazing!! You rock! I would love to know some of your recipes. Thank you so much for that feedback- its really nice to know I'm on the right track. Do you have any tips on ingredients I should include or cut out? Thank you so much for checking it out and leaving a comment❤
Hi Shelby. I started rescuing in 1995. In 2000, Harrigan was diagnosed with bone cancer. I waa devastated. Though he didn't make it and more rescues came, I was convinced: we are what we eat. The perfected diet now comes in light from my new Eastern medicine veterinarian. Cubbie, from the NYCACC, almost died of bladder stones. They can't be passed by males. So I concentrate on healthy bladder and kidneys. Lots of kale, which I was happy to see that you do, and cucumber (no seeds). Turkey, which you also do, or white fish as they are both cold and dogs tend to run hot, not good. Beef is cold but causes stomach upset. Lots of natural herbs such as: bone meal, omega oils, vitamins, minerals, and a bunch of others. I do my meat raw. I know that's hard for some people, so that's a preference. Oh and on day 7, they get no meat, just Greek yogurt, honey, and oatmeal. They need a day of no meat on the raw diet. Anyway, I think what you do is awesome. Thank you for educating people on how to extend their beloved pets lives.
@@simonson111 Wow I really enjoyed reading about your journey and experience. You are truly such a wonderful human- rescuing dogs is a big job and a really important one. You have a big beautiful heart and those dogs are so lucky to have their lives touched by your care and love! Wonderful feedback and awesome tips. Thank you so very much- I think that what you do is awesome too! ❤😘
@@ShelbyMarieMakes lol. I just did their breakfast and forgot to mention the teaspoon of acv they get per meal. Oh and raw eggs 4x a week. Acv is good for their ph. Everyone's ph for that matter. Lol.
@@ShelbyMarieMakes thank you so much for saying so. It's so awesome to make a connection with another animal person. I'm glad to have chatted with you and to be a part of your animal community. XO.
Thank you so much for all the info and everything I’m getting a dog soon so I really want to make homemade meals for the dogs because I like cooking plus I feel like it’ll be fun and you’re dog is just the cutest ever 🥺
you don't know how much i appreciated this video! i just ordered a shit ton of veggies & turkey meat from amazon fresh!! you should share more doggy tips
Unfortunately I can't do anything about it now without deleting the video, editing and re-uploading and I'm not going to bother with that since I'll likely do an updated version soon. But I will cut the music on the next one since some are finding it distracting. Thanks!
Hi!! I just got a new doggy recently and when I tried feeding her the kibble the rescue gave me she didn’t want anything to do with it :( I tried your recipe because I knew I wanted to feed her fresh and healthy food and she LOVED IT. She licked the bowl completely clean I was so happy!! Thank you so much!!
My dog is allergic to grain dye and corn. Her whole body gets red and starts breathing really hard. Merrick was the only one that didn’t give her a reaction but it crossed my mind to want to stay away from canned and processed dog food. I’m glad I ran into this video which will help me save money and a trip to the pet store. Thanks.
Thank you for this video and recipe. I just started a home cooked diet for my Bo Diddley. He just turned 5 and has always had issues with dog food. I have started out with rice as the primary ingredient with chicken added and of course veggies. He is overweight at the moment so we are working on getting him healthy!
Meat should be the primary ingredient not rice or carb or veggies. Atleast 50% of the dog food should be meat i think. After the meat then some plants.
Thank you for not forcing a plant-based diet on your dog! I've seen some people even try to suggest to do that to cats (which are obligate carnivores) and that sickens me!
Love this video! What kind of breed is your dog she’s so precious! You seriously opened my eyes. What you feed your pet is extremely importan. Btw LOVE your hair! 💕💕💕
Hii! Oh my gosh you are just the sweetest- thank you for the compliment❤ I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed this and learned something. When I made and posted this video I had no idea the impact it would have to be honest. Im really thankful people have taken something from this❤ Maddie is a pekagnese toy poodle mix. Xoxo
Great information. The whole time you were cooking I was thinking about my Instant Pot & how it could all be made in there & how much time I could save. Thanks.
Just made this last night for my senior black lab who has been struggling to eat the past few weeks. She loved it last night. Fingers crossed for this morning. Thanks for this video
Mmmm kind of but at least spam we know is from pork. Dog food is animal derivative which means could be anything it no longer resembles an animal. Slop from the floor . Dead animals horse meat. All sorts really wotevers cheap and available.
@@elitaylor8063 don't fall into that trap. Believe me just because you pay more for it doesn't make it good. Cooking food and canning it isn't anywhere near the best. Kibble isn't any better. All the goodness is gone and replaced with supplements. Research it and go raw .
@@roddymac998 So true! And everything is processed at such a high temperature that all the essential enzymes and many of the nutrients are destroyed. The vitamins listed on the packaging are added BEFORE processing. Most are then destroyed by the high heat, so you're not really getting those vitamins. It's a huge lie that the pet food companies are allowed to get away with.
@@adrianamara6063 yeh it still amazes me how many people are fooled by it. And blindly believe the kibble they buy is good because it's high meat content and grain free and from a good company or so their led to believe. I tell people if you knew how kibble was made you would stop straight away. I've had people throw research papers at me promoting kibbles saying their healthy . My first response is go look and see who paid and authorised these research papers. Low and behold it's mostly Purina and mars. Strange that eh haha . The company's paying for the research to produce falsified elaborate papers to help sell their product. All commercial company's Involved in food including humans do it.
I agree with you 100% on everything I've seen you cook. I have (by coincidence) been cooking my dog's food with basically the same ingredients. I also include quinoa and white rice. I like to also put in beets and pumpkin. I am doing this because one of my dogs got cancer (Maggie 16years old), and like you, I started researching and reading a bunch. Besides the natural, homemade meals, I give all of them one capsule of Turmeric a day. She was hardly walking before. Now she is even jumping. She is also being treated with Viscum, a daily injection derived from the mistletoe tree, created to treat humans and pets with cancer. After feeding them homemade food, my youngest dog (Nina 13 years) looks and acts like a puppy. I'm just sorry that I did not know this before. It's almost like human food. We know that fast food, processed foods, red meat, can cause cancer. Just like smoking..... So, you smoke and risk getting cancer, or quick and live healthier. The choice is ours, but our pets cannot decide for themselves. We need to provide them with the best we can offer. They are our responsibility and part of our family. Therefore, let's treat them like family.
Tips from my homecooking: Cook the carrots for 3 hours before pureeing. After 3 hours they release something that is good for the stomach and digestional system of your dog! Also use a slow feeder bowl, for the fast eating. We have one for our dog and it works wonders! They have little designs in them that makes it harder to get the food. Fast eating can result in stomach aches!
I have 3 dogs. One of my dogs a female Chihuahua has a sensitive stomach too. I tried and spent so much money trying to figure out what food was best. I went from feeding Iams to Science Diet. My vet recommended Supreme Source which they ate for awhile, until the food sensitivity got worse as she aged and now my vet recommended Taste of the Wild lamb and rice; grain free, which all my dogs eat now. I love my pets and I want to make sure they keep eating quality food. My Chihuahua is 8 years old now and her stomach may change again so I'm preparing myself for when I may need to start making her food. Thanks for the video.
At least for me and my dog, it's 2-3% of ideal weight, fed usually 2x per day, although your exact mileage may vary. Not an expert, but just repeating what I've been advised on
New subbie here. I ran across your channel while researching homemade foods for my furr child. lol Today is June 29, 2019 and I was startled while reading an article outlining that the pet food that I give my dog, Acana is number 1 with supposedly causing heart disease. I immediately grew worried and started researching homemade foods. I do feed my dog organic chicken mixed in with his dried dog food. He loves it, but I believe I want to do ground turkey as well. He's a 4 year old Teddy Bear, mix of Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu. Your channel is helping me make a very important decision for his dietary needs moving forward. Thank you!
Hiii😊 Thank you so much, I am so happy to hear that this was helpful your you and your fur baby- who sounds friggin adorable by the way! Good for you for wanting to give your fur baby the best and make sure he is happy and healthy. You sound like such a wonderful dog owner! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment❤
@@eliasjacky01 I'm in the processing of switching him over off Acana. I'm trying a 6 oz. sample bag of a brand called Coast & Range. He just had a physical a few weeks ago and they checked his heart. He's in great condition, so I hope to keep him that way.
JadeFoxx That is exactly what my Paisley is a mix of. She is 11 months old. I also have a Chorkie that is three years old. I have been making their wet food for about two months. I do add Iams kibble in their breakfast. Cooking it in the slow cooker/crockpot is wonderful.
@Elizabeth Porter Mine turned his nose up at the ground turkey. Lol He's an extremely picky eater and certain raw food diets he will not eat. He isn't one for veggies or fruit, so I combine organic chicken breasts with his new food and he loves it. He does not like change at first though lol
Lola Madison wow, way to be unnecessarily rude. I wasn’t being ugly, just giving feed back... And clearly I’m not the only one who struggled to hear her.
@@TeresaL0V3 I'm thankful for the recipe and look forward to trying it but l really struggled with the music as I found it really irritating distracting.
Oh my gosh, she is such a sweetheart! And I’m with you on the “puppy talk”. 😆 This is almost exactly how I used to feed my old dog over a decade ago and he did fantastic! He was 125 pounds though so I added this mixture to his RX kibble (he was allergic to life) and in only a couple of months, he looked and acted like a different dog. No more itchy skin, no more ear infections, no more yeasty paws, no more gooey eyes. His coat shined a blue/black in the sun and he had so much good energy. Everyone could tell he was finally comfortable and happy ❤️ My dog now has struggled with allergies since we moved away from Hawaii last year, so we’re gonna start with home cooked food him now. He’s 100 pounds sooooo...it’s gonna be expensive again but totally worth it ❤️ Thanks for posting this 👍🏽👍🏽
I loved watching this! Thank you for taking time to explain some things you discovered during your research. I was very surprised to hear the staining around the eyes was from the dyes in kibble. Wow. Your doggie is precious. :)
Also the staining is from comes from not enough enzymes in the gut. That's why fresh foods are better and give the dog a probiotic and probiotic with enzymes and the staining will go away.
@Caroline Balkon That's interesting. I had no idea raw food would make dogs react that way. One of my dogs is already aggressive I wonder what that would do to him.
@@secretariatgirl4249 no different than when people prepare their food for cooking. In a healthy dog raw wouldn't cause issues as the bacteria can't survive the enzymes in their stomach.
You and your dog are absolutely adorable!!💕I learned so much. My doggy has been having a lot of the same issues yours was plus potty problems. So I’m so excited to do this and help my baby be happy and healthy and live longer! Thanks for your video. You are a lot of fun to watch! 😊
Thanks for mentioning Pet Fooled. I have watched countless documentaries about the human diet and food industry and how it is making us all sick, but its the first for pets. 😭
Her excitement and frustration is EVERYTHING! I was SO hoping you'd show us her eating it at the end. Patient for a bit, then....FEED ME! She's adorable. How much do you feed her and how often? I'm so going to try this as our older mini poodle is coughing, shedding, itching...I feel so bad and the vet put her on prednisone. Some improvement but I don't want that to be a lifelong thing. Seems we've tried everything else, poor girl. Thanks much for this awesome video! Well done!
.... and fats.. they're an important part of a diet, especially for dogs and in moderation of course. Taken from Petmd dot com website: Common Sources of Fats and Oils for Dogs Common sources of omega-3 fatty acids are fish oils (herring, salmon, etc.) and flaxseed and canola oils. Commonly used omega-6 fatty acid sources include pork fat, chicken fat (or any poultry fat), safflower and sunflower oils, as well as corn and soybean oils (vegetable oils).Oct 21, 2011
@Marlon .Wisdom it is a fine recipe but missing lots of important ingredients. Liver is a must also other offals , instead of putting that much vegetable liver and hearts kidneys etc must be added for it to be perfect recipe. Dogs dont have the same digestion like humans not necessery to give so much veggies especially the ones that could cause gas
I mix some omega 3 fish oil (a pump or so) and some probiotic/prebiotic/enzyme powder (I use Bernies Perfect Poop) on my lil doggies food. I make a recipe like this but put chicken liver and kidneys and a bone broth on top. I make them treats with coconut oil, blueberries, pumpkin, apple, oats, and yogurt etc. I can make an incredible dog cake with a peanut butter/yogurt frosting. Usually though I just give em some carrots and apples or watermelon or pineapple

I hope this written recipe helped, thank you for the cool recipe Shelby. We have a little Pomeranian terrier mutt named Tigger, he has been getting sick his whole life & having these episodes. He starts shaking & can barely move, he also throws up. It’s pretty sad to see him go through that & after watching a documentary called “Pet Fooled” our family decided maybe it was a better option for Tigger if we made his own food. I think anyone can make food for their dogs with a little effort, I mean I’m only 15 & I wrote this whole recipe out for you. Also please don’t be afraid to change up the recipe & give different vegetables & meat to your dogs, preferably ones they like. Also miss RUclipsr it would be pretty cool if you could add this recipe to your description or just pin the comment. Thanks for reading & please critique or interpret this recipe anyway you like.
Awe, Teresa you're so sweet❤🥰 I'd also like to take a second to remind people to to always do their own research and find out what works best for their dog. It's not exactly a one size fits all approach. Also, it can be just as beneficial to add some fresh foods to your dogs kibble💕
Thank you so much! I am going to start making dog food for our dog because all the commercial foods are sourced from China
Thank-you so much for writing this out!
Excellent Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my BF at very last got astronomical results with it.
teresa dunigan have you ever tried cbd oil or cbd treats? It can help with pain, nausea, it helps with things connected to muscles so could help his shaking as well. I like the brand “treatibles cbd dog treats” for my dog. She has arthritis and it has helped her tremendously along with a home cooked diet :)
When I got my first dog in the third grade, I expected to buy the kibble but my Mexican family was like no he's a part of the family he eats what we're going to eat. He ended up living off of my grandma's chicken veggie soup his whole life, he completely loved it and I'm proud to say that aside from the annual shots, he never went to the vet for any illness. Even when he was passing of old age, he still looked/acted young and his coat never really lost his color. He couldn't see me graduate but I spent 15 wonderful years next to a super healthy dog. Fast forward half a year after his passing and I was gifted a new puppy. When I took her to the vet at two months, I explained to them that I was feeding her the same like my previous dog and they berated me for doing that, told me to at least give her kibble until 1 year old she she could have a balanced diet growing up. She hated it, even when I would splurge on the high-end kibble. I would mix it with the soup and she wouldn't touch the kibble, only lick around it. Now that the year is up I am trying to get back to looking up recipes like these, we're a couple of weeks in and she cleans the plate now, she loves eating whole stuff 🎉
I love how she cares about her dog she makes me feel that I am not alone in worrying about what my dog eats
You're not alone! Thanks for taking the time to homecook for your dog... it can make a huge difference in their health
I feed my mini dashound the raw diet and she was 2 months old she is now 4 months and she loves it
The way you carry her is so loving. I wish every dog could feel the type of love you give to Maddy. ❤️🐾❤️
I am glad you mentioned that you’d never force a vegan diet upon your dog. Personally I believe dogs need both meat and veggies!
Awe thank you! Yes I wanted to be honest and open about that because sometimes people are quick to assume. I agree with you! Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment🥰
asvinni yes I agree too...If dogs lived in the wild, what would they eat yep they would hunt for small prey...No rocket science here...These vegans need to use their brains...
@@traceyfonda5300 Vegans are smart. Meat isn't good for anyone
@@sugarlien thats right!
@@Poreckylife vegetarian is different from vegan, dogs biologically are carnivores, they can eat other things to survive but in the long they will not thrive optimally, I have been rescuing dogs of all aged between for decades and have learned a natural cooked food or raw diet mostly of varied meats with some veggies preferably cooked is ideal. See Dr Dobias, Dr becker, Dr Pitcairn and Dr Jones, they are gets in Canada and USA. Dogs do not process grains like we can.
As a pet nutritionist, I respect this and support you completely.
Hello Judith, so will cooking the meats and vegetables, will I lose vitamins and minerals?
Ronnie yes! You need to supplement the food with vitiamins and minerals. Calcium is very important. I recommend animals essentials seaweed calcium and animal essentials multivitamins animalessentials.com/
Here is an easy guideline to follow when making homemade dog food maggielovesorbit.com/basic-foundation-homemade-dog-food/
asvinni we all be reuniting during quarantine haha!
How much food do you feed your dog and how many times a day? I have two dogs that are about 35lbs each. Thank you for this great video
Ronnie. If you can feed your dog raw food and not cook anything the better. The video is a good starting off point but it is not a balanced diet. Dogs derive from wolves and wolves pretty much only have a raw diet. The recipe calls for about 5 pounds of veggies/supplements and only 4 pounds of meat. This is not right. Dogs need more meat than that. One of the other problems with this recipe is there are no organs and bones. Livers are extremely nutrient dense. I give my dog all organic and all natural from at the source itself. She doesn't need calcium supplements because she gets ground up bones in her food. I mean, why would you take a synthetic supplement vs the natural source itself? Dogs should have no less than 75% raw meats,bones and organs. Not all dogs can handle raw at first or just in general so you may need to play around with it.
Marion hessek. You just have to play around with different amounts and see what's best for them. My co-workers dog is 75 pounds and mine is 60. However, her dog eats three times the amount my puppy eats. Both dogs are very healthy. It just depends on a few things. At least twice a day but three smaller meals would be better for digestion(eating off the ground helps with them digesting their food too. My puppy eats about a foot off the ground) The same time every day is ideal but this can be hard to work around sometimes.
I just make my dog a scrambled egg once in a while, and he thinks that’s luxury, man , what am I doing
Bon Appétit!
Give them a raw egg, shell and all.
I believe dogs live longer eating fresh foods opposed to eating processed foods. That is how they get digestive problems and cancers. I’ve been into cooking for dogs since 2005 everyone thought I was nuts go figure
Me too, started in about 2004-2005 b/c of some health problems in my 3 little dogs, bladder stones. My vet gave me a recipe and I've been making and modifying that recipe for years, and my little ones live for 14-17 years. I adopt old Yorkies and keep them until they pass, and they love the food.
@@susanp102 thats so wonderful! our pets deserve whats put on this earth for them. Why should they be deprived of that to make millions for processed dog food companies
@@susanp102 can share with me the recipe?.
@@ChrisTina-yc8wx I want the recipe as well :D
@@ChrisTina-yc8wx Mine is simple 4:1 or so meat to cooked brown rice, whatever organic veggies or fruit I have in the garden. Right now it's summer squash, apples and a little greens. Since my babies are all seniors, I have to make their food soft, so I puree it with bone broth, organic if I can find it. I also add SamE and Milk Thistle, (per my vet) and little bit of vitamins. I go lite on the vitamins because of their age and the fact that some have poor kidney function. I cook the meat with a little bit of coconut oil. I give them beef and turkey, have been avoiding chicken because of past dogs with allergies.
My dog passed away at 9 years old and he was fed only dry kibble throughout his life. He was sick one week and got better then the next week he became sick and died the next day. I truly truly believe that healthy nutrient rich food is important!! I since then have gotten a puppy and have started to expand my knowledge on dog food and even treats. Thank you for this video!!
If you want some great dry dog food try Fromm great ingredients.
You’re beautiful

Thank you
Thanks

I do almost exactly the same thing, but I add some eggs, cauliflower and a little bit more rice into the mix. And right when I'm serving it to my dogs I add a table spoon of Greek yogurt and some organic blueberries, my dogs love it.
Jorge Ramírez you do blueberries every meal? How big is your dog?
@@Iloverandomness100 I add the berries and the yogurth right when I'm serving the prep food, it is 4-5 berries and 1/2 tea spoon of yogurth every meal, 2 times a day. Medium size dog 55 lbs, why?.
@@elrick26 do you cook the eggs or you give it to him raw?
@@prettyinpink3716 sometimes raw (I would only give them 2 or 3 eggs a week max) but mostly I would cook them in a pan (scrambled), so if I'm making a batch for one week since I have 2 dogs I would cook 6 eggs and then add them into the mix.
@@elrick26 thank you for responding, I have a husky and a 2 yorkies going to start feeding them homemade food, how much I'm I suppose to feed them?
I just made this recipe for my dog today, he’s a 1 year old dorkie (mini yorkie and dachshund) and he’s in LOVE. I used brown rice tho and I made 4 cups of it to mix in with everything. And surprisingly with how much he loves it, this is the only cooked food he doesn’t try to scarf down. He actually takes his time and enjoys it!! Makes me so happy!
I made this today and my two dogs loved it. I mean licking the floor under their bowl loved it! I added Lima beans and a tad of beef broth. Thank you for sharing! I made enough for 2 dogs for 12 days for $17.00!

How often do you feed your dog and how much ? Thank you
I think I’m gonna start cooking healthy food for my dogs too. I had the misconception of home made food will make your dogs sick and stomach issues. One of my dogs don’t like the dry food in ANY way and with nothing lol 😂 🙈, poor thing. Now I know home made healthy food it’s ok and better.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recipe.
Wonderful and well behaved dog🥰
Hi! I want to start from today cooking for my dog too! Have you tried it?
Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate at last got amazing success with it.
I thought the same, that there would not be enough nutrition. I’m not sure if I’m going to start cooking dog food. However, I have started making super green powder by dehydrating a lot of great organic greens. I put them in our food all the time. I think I will start giving about a teaspoon a day to our dogs as well.
Hi, yes I have tried it and they love it 😍! They like the chicken with veggies, very similar recipe.
Instead of peeling the sweet potatoes and boiling (you lose alot of nutrients in the water) try leaving skin on, poking a few holes and baking them! Retains ALL the nutrients and peeling is a breeze coming from the oven😊😊
Instant pot is best. Only 3 minutes! Awesome!
I cooked also for my dog, I used quinoa, brown rice, pumpkin, carrots, broccoli, sweet potato, turmeric, liver or turkey. Thank you for your video.
Lala Gallegos Dogs do NOT need rice or quinoa they can’t digest it. It’s not part of a natural diet for dogs. It provides no nutritional value. They are cheap fillers
Thank you so much!! I have just recently begun diving into the research on this & it has been quite overwhelming! So much contradictory information & so much misinformation! This video has been super helpful. 💜
I am so very glad you found this helpful- that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment to let me know. Take care❤
I've been feeding my 13 year old Westie homemade most of his life and he has the health and energy of a dog half his age!! Processed dog food is FULL of carcinogenics and is killing our pets 5-6 years before their time!!
How do you know how much to feed?
I watched a few of these videos 5 months ago and started doing it for my dog. He is doing great. Loves his food and can’t wait to eat it. He used to have stomach issues but they are gone and he is putting on healthy weight, he was always a little too skinny. Lots of energy and a total overall improvement. The expensive dry food wasn’t cutting it anyway. I purposely tracked down this video to comment as it was this recipe I followed and wanted to say it thanks. It really did make a difference for my dog. I will continue to do this and share my experience with other people as well.
awww 🥰 what a little cutie!!! She waited so patiently!! 😆 my dog does not like dog food at all and I’ve been so depressed because he’s not eating much, thank you soooo much I’m gonna try this!
Thankyou so much I will be doing this recipe too.
It's really strange how videos like this pop up when you're just "thinking" of it. I decided yesterday to start making homemade dog food for my baby after issues with store bought foods! Thank you for sharing this info! And ignore all the negative Nellie complainers on here. God Bless! ☺
Same! My husband and I are just thinking about it and poof! This video just popped up out of nowhere. Unbelievable!
Thank you. Very helpful. I've been feeding my dog a (very expensive) raw commercial dog food, and I would like to switch him to a home prepared option. I will definitely try this! A couple of comments: I wouldn't peel the carrots and sweet potato. There are lots of nutrients in the peeling, and your doggo wouldn't mind the taste at all. Also, instead of using the calcium supplement, you might consider adding a couple eggs to your recipe (cook them in your mixture with the turkey). Then use the egg shells as your calcium. You can grind them in a food processor or blender and then just add them as you do your powder. Egg shells are 40% calcium carbonate, the rest is protein and other beneficial minerals. Thanks again. Sorry for the long reply.
Don't put eggs shells into diet. Please remove skin from carrots and sweet potatoes!! Bacteria hides on skin folks. Becareful when U sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can have too much vitamin A on their system. Try russet potatoes and peel skin.
She’s a precious little fur ball ♥️

I just found this video and tried the recipe today. We have two little 11 year old Maltese pups and they gobbled their food! This is much more economical and healthier to cook rather than pay $10/small package of food that lasts 4 days. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I cook for my dog to but I use eggshell powder that I make from ground up eggshells. I put them in a baking pan and cook them in the oven for 3-4 minutes at 300 degrees to kill the bacteria then I cool them and grind them in a coffee bean grinder, I only use the grinder for eggshell. You should rinse and dry them before putting in the oven. I also use a fine sieve after I grind them to catch larger pieces and re-grind them. Eggshell is very high in calcium. 1/2 tsp per2 cups of food.
You couldn't have posted this comment at a better time! I have been saving up eggshells to make this and your description and directions are so helpful!! I just took a screenshot. Thank you SO much for sharing! 🙌♥️
I cook for my dog as well. Just boil everything together ( the meat, veggies, and the rice) in one big pot with a little bit of water. I use regular pot, like the one you prepare your meat in. No fuss! Simple, and better than any commercial dog food.
Avi Ah rice is not part of a natural diet for dogs. It’s a grain and they can’t digest it. It provides no nutritional value. It’s purely a cheap filler. So WHY feed it?
I use organic brown rice.
But, if my dog doesn't feel good, a white bland rice actually can help, and it's temporary. Some use quinoa instead of rice.My vet said a good rule is to go a third on meat, third on carbs, third on veggies.
Stay away from rice. This is totally wrong. You will NEVER see a dog, wolf, or coyote grazing a rice paddie. And they don't cook their food before eating it either.
I do the same with my dog, it's easy and sits well in my dogs tummy! It's a good balance of quality, time and price.
@@lucybroadhurst6627 B/c sometimes a high protein diet is hard on older dogs. The recipe I got from a vet over 15 years ago had rice in it.

Thanks for this healthy dog food recipe! I will check out that documentary!
Glad to see someone else makes their own food too!
I’ve been doing something similar for years now. Mines not allergic to their kibble, so I make mine as “wet food”. Mine gets protein (turkey, chicken....) bag of frozen veggies (it does have the sodium that canned veggies usually has), but then I add a filler, rice or lentils. Sometimes I’ll make mine the tomato sauce sometimes not. I’ll add this mix to their kibble, if it doesn’t have the tomato sauce, then I’ll add a little bit of water when I put this with their dry food they like the flavored water that it makes.
Is there a reason you dont add any fruit?
I do almost the same recipe but add uncooked bananas or shredded pineapple as superfruits (sometimes fresh raw seeded cherries and blueberries for inflammation and joint health)and put a whole small sized turkey, bones and all, with yams and kale in the slow cooker overnight. The bones turn to mush and they get the benefit of the marrow. That all goes in the food processor with fruit and grated fresh ginger root. I also sprinkle probiotics/acidophilus/bifidus on each warm meal and occasionally Spirulina.
I have 2 hairless Chinese Cresteds so good nutrition is critical for skin and health. Thx for sharing your routine. Showing how easy it is will hopefully encourage more pet parents to make changes.
I forgot to mention adding the oatmeal that I cook in with the carcass and yams and smash the bones good for the processor just as a precaution for shards.
I will add brown rice if I need to make it last longer until I can make more. White rice is easier to digest but has 0 nutrition value.
I need to start adding the bones, especially now that I have an Instant Pot. I add blueberries too, Cami, and an apple. (Never the pits or core-pits are poisoness). I stick my finger in to test taste, but haven't stolen a whole dish for my supper...yet! As someone else commented, my dog eats better than I do...but making his food has inspired me to eat more varieties of veggies myself.
Squanch Wanch nasty comments are not necessary. To each his own! I almost lost my Boxer from a raw diet. She got food poisoning, and the food came from a reputable company. Not saying it happens often, but it does occur.
Squanch Wanch. I do believe many dogs greatly benefit from a raw diet, it’s just that I had a very bad experience . I also had a friend who’s little dog got sick as it couldn’t digest small bone particles in the raw mix and ended up at the vet with blood in the stool. I guess it all comes down to the right supplier. I don’t feed my dog any kibble or treats that come from China. I do occasionally get dry treats that state they are grain free and organic locally made. Organic! That’s another questionable statement, one is never sure if that is in fact correct or not. I only slightly brown my meat and organs, plus I make my own bone broth. We can only try our best in a World that is often full of misrepresentation. 🤗🐕
Wow ! The first homemade food video Ive watched that does not make me cringe and fearful . Key bonus points in my opinion. Very little rice if at all. Portions of protein to veggies. Dogs are carnivores by nature. Their balanced diets are not our balanced diets. No salted canned items including broth. You did not cook the food for hours. You cooked each item separate then combined. My only suggestions is when switching to homemade limit ingredients, especially if allergies are an issue. just like a baby introduce items slowly, keep a journal. Feed limited ingredients for a couple of weeks and watch for issues. If an issue arises see if you have added something new and remove it . Once allergies are triggered it may take months to resolve. You can always go back and try the item again. I have cooked for 3 dogs for over 5 years. all 3 allergic to chicken( this is very common) No sweet potato for 2, 1 no bananas. A journal really helps here. Huge kudos to you girl !
I’ve been cooking my dogs food for a long time now. Our recipe has 2 types of meat and 2 veggies. It’s heavier on the meat end. I’ve given her the seaweed calcium too but changed to whole sardines as a snack. Our dog also hangs out in the kitchen when I cook for her 😆
I love hearing stories like this!! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. Maddie has been loving sardines lately too! We give her salmon sometimes and she is obsessed. To the point where she wont go to bed at night and will sit in front of the stove waiting for more when it's gone! Haha sardines have a lot of health benefits too and the price is great! Oh they totally know when we are cooking for them, dogs are so smart!
Hello. I'd love to try your recipe. Which meats and veggies?
Where did you find no salt sardines?
The video shows that u have soo much affection towards yur dog, nice!
Hey, if you ever run short on your calcium that you buy, you can also take eggshells and rinse them off and dry them. Then grind them into a powder. Put about 1/4 teaspoon into one serving or bowl of food. It is an excellent source of calcium.
You are a wonderful pet owner. You feed her right just like family. Her health will be better saving on vet bills and extending her life.
I personally would add eggs to your recipe and grind up the shells for natural calcium. I also would add an omega 3 fish oil blend too. Yours is better then my home cooked recipe ( boiled chicken, string beans and sweet potato and br rice cooked in broth) so I'm trying yours next month. I use Dr. Mercolas Digestive Enzymes and Acidophilus too.
Awe thank you for your kind words❤ I really appreciate that and thank you for your tips too! I do add in a calcium supplement Instead of the egg shells. I'll have to look into the omega oils! Thanks for letting me know. You are also a wonderful pet owner💕😘
your 🐶 obeys you. he is well trained. he is a good boy😘😘
Thank you for this 💜 it breaks my heart because i dont see anyone cooking to their dogs. I love to cook to mine and people think i am crazy. My dogs digestion can't take raw meat either. This was a good inspiration🙏💕👌
Girly girl and a pet lover. Never related to someone so much in my life ever
Hello soul sister, thanks for finding my channel!🥰😘🐶
Dogs become your family. They love u more then most family members do
I Love how sweet and kind you are with your dog. I treat my dog the same.😊
I cook my dog homemade food everyday I love it. And he is much happier.
You did such a great job on this video. Thank you! Maddie was so sweet too.
I just gave my 8month old puppy homemade yesterday this baby was so happy…I was happy he was happy.
Oh my, i just finished making this recipe and my tiny picky eater yorkie loves it so much! Thank you for sharing. 🐶
How you cook the meat?with oil or water?
How much do you give your yorkie in a day?
She is so cute. My dog is small and is having dog food issues, I’m going to be making him his food too see if he stops throwing up. Great recipe.
Thank you so much! Awe your poor doggie, I hope he feels better soon. It's so heartbreaking when they are sick. Sending good vibes your way❤
I use an insta-pot to cook my meat, sweet potato, carrots, ginger, turmeric, pepper and any other veggies that I want. 1-2 cups water. I cook on meat for 15 minutes
You are peeling the carrot and potatoes, that is a lot of good nutrition. Also the broccoli stems are great for her.
Thank you for your video, your dog is adorable, looks like a Cavachon, which I have two.
Thank you so much for this. I know dog food is horrible and cause tear staining . So I was looking for homemade dog food . I knew sweet potshots were good for the tear stain
Hi Valerie! Awe thank you so much for the kind feedback. Much appreciated❤ I'm really happy to hear you found it helpful. I hope it helps with your dogs tear staining! I know it takes a while to see progress but you will after time. Best of luck to you😘
Thank you so much for uploading this. I have been struggling with 2 poms that do not want to eat can or kibble. I even bought a dog food cooking book but it was too many things and they ended up not eating after 2 weeks. The recipe you show up they totally love it. Thank you!!
This recipe is life changing for me and my dog. I have never seen my dog finished his plate in 20 second like he does now. He always excited and dancing when I am heating up his food(this recipe) which never happened before.
Thank you for the recipe !!!!
Yeah, dogs need real food. This "people food" myth hurt millions of dogs, and was started by dog food companies trying to sell us spoiled corn, wheat, and soy to feed our dogs! Vets went/go along with it because their text books, in many cases, are funded by dog food companies 🤦 our dogs love real food, just like they'd eat in the wild
Great video!! The music was a little distracting especially when you were explaining in the beginning but it was all good info. I want to start cooking my dogs food for the month so this video was helpful. Please do an updated one if you have more than one recipe! Subscribed
Hi Madison! So glad to hear you found this helpful, that makes me so happy! You sound like a wonderful pet owner. I never expected this video to become so popular- I made it for the family and friends who always asked me about my dog food. I'll definitely cut the music in the next one when I'm talking now that I know people are interested and want to be able to focus on the information. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! Happy to have you as part of the community🥰💕
Great video. How do you decide how much of it to give your dog each meal? I know that kibble varies in portion depending on the brand, so I just wondered how you decide how much to give your dog?
I’ve been doing homemade food for over a year now and the results are clear. My dogs have more energy, beautiful coat, poop less ( there is research now supporting this). I also love seeing how excited they are when I’m cooking. It’s such a rewarding experience. Also, I never had issues with chicken for my dogs. I use lean ground beef or ground turkey and I cut up pieces of chicken breast. They are doing great with it
Thanks for this recipe! So glad to see ground turkey because my pups LOVE ground turkey. I am going to try this as a prepped freezer meal for sure.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!❤ I hope your pups love it as much as mine does!
@@ShelbyMarieMakes how much would a 20# rat Terrier be fed per day?
Too cute! Thanks for sharing, Im researching to start doing this for my 10 month old pup
She is sooo cute!!🥰
Kudos to you. I've been making my dog's food since 2000. Most people on RUclips that do homemade food are not knowledgeable at all. Makes me crazy. You are on the right track.
Hi Stacy! Since 2000 wow that's amazing!! You rock! I would love to know some of your recipes. Thank you so much for that feedback- its really nice to know I'm on the right track. Do you have any tips on ingredients I should include or cut out? Thank you so much for checking it out and leaving a comment❤
Hi Shelby. I started rescuing in 1995. In 2000, Harrigan was diagnosed with bone cancer. I waa devastated. Though he didn't make it and more rescues came, I was convinced: we are what we eat. The perfected diet now comes in light from my new Eastern medicine veterinarian. Cubbie, from the NYCACC, almost died of bladder stones. They can't be passed by males. So I concentrate on healthy bladder and kidneys. Lots of kale, which I was happy to see that you do, and cucumber (no seeds). Turkey, which you also do, or white fish as they are both cold and dogs tend to run hot, not good. Beef is cold but causes stomach upset. Lots of natural herbs such as: bone meal, omega oils, vitamins, minerals, and a bunch of others. I do my meat raw. I know that's hard for some people, so that's a preference. Oh and on day 7, they get no meat, just Greek yogurt, honey, and oatmeal. They need a day of no meat on the raw diet.
Anyway, I think what you do is awesome. Thank you for educating people on how to extend their beloved pets lives.
@@simonson111 Wow I really enjoyed reading about your journey and experience. You are truly such a wonderful human- rescuing dogs is a big job and a really important one. You have a big beautiful heart and those dogs are so lucky to have their lives touched by your care and love! Wonderful feedback and awesome tips. Thank you so very much- I think that what you do is awesome too! ❤😘
@@ShelbyMarieMakes lol. I just did their breakfast and forgot to mention the teaspoon of acv they get per meal. Oh and raw eggs 4x a week. Acv is good for their ph. Everyone's ph for that matter. Lol.
@@ShelbyMarieMakes thank you so much for saying so. It's so awesome to make a connection with another animal person. I'm glad to have chatted with you and to be a part of your animal community. XO.
Thank you so much for all the info and everything I’m getting a dog soon so I really want to make homemade meals for the dogs because I like cooking plus I feel like it’ll be fun and you’re dog is just the cutest ever 🥺
you don't know how much i appreciated this video! i just ordered a shit ton of veggies & turkey meat from amazon fresh!! you should share more doggy tips
Please take the music out altogether just want to here you! Thanks for sharing this much needed information!❤️🙏
Unfortunately I can't do anything about it now without deleting the video, editing and re-uploading and I'm not going to bother with that since I'll likely do an updated version soon. But I will cut the music on the next one since some are finding it distracting. Thanks!
Shelby Marie Makes I actually love the music. Hard to please everyone I guess. Lol.
@@sexyskydoll I like it too! haha It's upbeat and doesn't seem as loud through my speakers🤷♀️ You're right about that! Can't please everyone aha
Lee Grass you misspelled hear
😀 I liked the music too. I never find background music distracting. But, yeah, some people do. Just a matter of taste. Lol. Loved the recipe.
Hi!! I just got a new doggy recently and when I tried feeding her the kibble the rescue gave me she didn’t want anything to do with it :( I tried your recipe because I knew I wanted to feed her fresh and healthy food and she LOVED IT. She licked the bowl completely clean I was so happy!! Thank you so much!!
My dog is allergic to grain dye and corn. Her whole body gets red and starts breathing really hard. Merrick was the only one that didn’t give her a reaction but it crossed my mind to want to stay away from canned and processed dog food. I’m glad I ran into this video which will help me save money and a trip to the pet store. Thanks.
Thank you for this video and recipe. I just started a home cooked diet for my Bo Diddley. He just turned 5 and has always had issues with dog food. I have started out with rice as the primary ingredient with chicken added and of course veggies. He is overweight at the moment so we are working on getting him healthy!
Meat should be the primary ingredient not rice or carb or veggies. Atleast 50% of the dog food should be meat i think. After the meat then some plants.
Thank you for not forcing a plant-based diet on your dog! I've seen some people even try to suggest to do that to cats (which are obligate carnivores) and that sickens me!
I love that you don't force your food choices in your dog, love this, thank you I needed help lol you are a blessing!!!
Love this video! What kind of breed is your dog she’s so precious! You seriously opened my eyes. What you feed your pet is extremely importan. Btw LOVE your hair! 💕💕💕
Hii! Oh my gosh you are just the sweetest- thank you for the compliment❤ I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed this and learned something. When I made and posted this video I had no idea the impact it would have to be honest. Im really thankful people have taken something from this❤ Maddie is a pekagnese toy poodle mix. Xoxo
Great information. The whole time you were cooking I was thinking about my Instant Pot & how it could all be made in there & how much time I could save. Thanks.
Just made this last night for my senior black lab who has been struggling to eat the past few weeks. She loved it last night. Fingers crossed for this morning. Thanks for this video
Hello how are you doing
I could eat your dog’s food, I love all those ingredients and it looks delicious 😊
Eye opener. Now That I think about it canned dog food would be equivalent to eating spam and corned beef everyday.
Mmmm kind of but at least spam we know is from pork. Dog food is animal derivative which means could be anything it no longer resembles an animal. Slop from the floor . Dead animals horse meat. All sorts really wotevers cheap and available.
Not necessarily true it depends on the brand you buy
@@elitaylor8063 don't fall into that trap. Believe me just because you pay more for it doesn't make it good. Cooking food and canning it isn't anywhere near the best. Kibble isn't any better. All the goodness is gone and replaced with supplements. Research it and go raw .
@@roddymac998 So true! And everything is processed at such a high temperature that all the essential enzymes and many of the nutrients are destroyed. The vitamins listed on the packaging are added BEFORE processing. Most are then destroyed by the high heat, so you're not really getting those vitamins. It's a huge lie that the pet food companies are allowed to get away with.
@@adrianamara6063 yeh it still amazes me how many people are fooled by it. And blindly believe the kibble they buy is good because it's high meat content and grain free and from a good company or so their led to believe. I tell people if you knew how kibble was made you would stop straight away. I've had people throw research papers at me promoting kibbles saying their healthy . My first response is go look and see who paid and authorised these research papers. Low and behold it's mostly Purina and mars. Strange that eh haha . The company's paying for the research to produce falsified elaborate papers to help sell their product. All commercial company's Involved in food including humans do it.
Omg she’s so cute. She’s waiting so patiently
I fed my dog pedigree and Purina for 10+ years n the previous owner as well and lived to be 15/16 he was a Pekingese.
Oh my gosh your dog is adorable. Great video. I will be trying this recipe.
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful. You are a wonderful doggie owner for doing your research and wanting the best for your pet❤🤗
I agree with you 100% on everything I've seen you cook. I have (by coincidence) been cooking my dog's food with basically the same ingredients. I also include quinoa and white rice. I like to also put in beets and pumpkin. I am doing this because one of my dogs got cancer (Maggie 16years old), and like you, I started researching and reading a bunch. Besides the natural, homemade meals, I give all of them one capsule of Turmeric a day. She was hardly walking before. Now she is even jumping. She is also being treated with Viscum, a daily injection derived from the mistletoe tree, created to treat humans and pets with cancer. After feeding them homemade food, my youngest dog (Nina 13 years) looks and acts like a puppy. I'm just sorry that I did not know this before. It's almost like human food. We know that fast food, processed foods, red meat, can cause cancer. Just like smoking..... So, you smoke and risk getting cancer, or quick and live healthier. The choice is ours, but our pets cannot decide for themselves. We need to provide them with the best we can offer. They are our responsibility and part of our family. Therefore, let's treat them like family.
My Boston has never seen kibble. Meat and veg. He's so muscular and shiny. 33 lbs of amazingness
That's a big Boston! My adult male is 18lbs.
My 9 month old is 25 pounds. Came here looking for ideas on how to eliminate tear staining.
Tips from my homecooking:
Cook the carrots for 3 hours before pureeing. After 3 hours they release something that is good for the stomach and digestional system of your dog!
Also use a slow feeder bowl, for the fast eating. We have one for our dog and it works wonders! They have little designs in them that makes it harder to get the food. Fast eating can result in stomach aches!
I have 3 dogs. One of my dogs a female Chihuahua has a sensitive stomach too. I tried and spent so much money trying to figure out what food was best. I went from feeding Iams to Science Diet. My vet recommended Supreme Source which they ate for awhile, until the food sensitivity got worse as she aged and now my vet recommended Taste of the Wild lamb and rice; grain free, which all my dogs eat now. I love my pets and I want to make sure they keep eating quality food. My Chihuahua is 8 years old now and her stomach may change again so I'm preparing myself for when I may need to start making her food. Thanks for the video.
my senior chihuahua too, freshpet has been ok for her now for like a few months
I am definitely going to have to try this with my Zoey. I do have a question, how much do you feed your dog and how many times a day?
At least for me and my dog, it's 2-3% of ideal weight, fed usually 2x per day, although your exact mileage may vary. Not an expert, but just repeating what I've been advised on
@@melissamargolese8782 what about puppy? how many times?
New subbie here. I ran across your channel while researching homemade foods for my furr child. lol Today is June 29, 2019 and I was startled while reading an article outlining that the pet food that I give my dog, Acana is number 1 with supposedly causing heart disease. I immediately grew worried and started researching homemade foods. I do feed my dog organic chicken mixed in with his dried dog food. He loves it, but I believe I want to do ground turkey as well. He's a 4 year old Teddy Bear, mix of Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu. Your channel is helping me make a very important decision for his dietary needs moving forward. Thank you!
Hiii😊 Thank you so much, I am so happy to hear that this was helpful your you and your fur baby- who sounds friggin adorable by the way! Good for you for wanting to give your fur baby the best and make sure he is happy and healthy. You sound like such a wonderful dog owner! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment❤
I did the same as you I was giving my baby Acana .
@@eliasjacky01 I'm in the processing of switching him over off Acana. I'm trying a 6 oz. sample bag of a brand called Coast & Range. He just had a physical a few weeks ago and they checked his heart. He's in great condition, so I hope to keep him that way.
JadeFoxx That is exactly what my Paisley is a mix of. She is 11 months old. I also have a Chorkie that is three years old. I have been making their wet food for about two months. I do add Iams kibble in their breakfast. Cooking it in the slow cooker/crockpot is wonderful.
@Elizabeth Porter Mine turned his nose up at the ground turkey. Lol He's an extremely picky eater and certain raw food diets he will not eat. He isn't one for veggies or fruit, so I combine organic chicken breasts with his new food and he loves it. He does not like change at first though lol
LOL! 😂 She's obedient, so adorable. 🤗 She really won't touch the food when Mum says wait 😆
I would cook this food for my kids and dogs. 👍🏻💖. Your dog is sweet and well behaved Thank you for sharing
I really want to hear everything you’re saying but girl.... this music.
I can barely hear you.
Teresa Powers I heard her perfectly fine. Lol clean your ears!
Lola Madison wow, way to be unnecessarily rude. I wasn’t being ugly, just giving feed back... And clearly I’m not the only one who struggled to hear her.
@@TeresaL0V3 r/wooosh
@@TeresaL0V3 I'm thankful for the recipe and look forward to trying it but l really struggled with the music as I found it really irritating distracting.
Teresa powers
I totally agree with you
I tried this today and am really HAPPY! My dogs loved it! I never saw her eat all her food! Thank you!
Oh my gosh, she is such a sweetheart! And I’m with you on the “puppy talk”. 😆
This is almost exactly how I used to feed my old dog over a decade ago and he did fantastic! He was 125 pounds though so I added this mixture to his RX kibble (he was allergic to life) and in only a couple of months, he looked and acted like a different dog. No more itchy skin, no more ear infections, no more yeasty paws, no more gooey eyes. His coat shined a blue/black in the sun and he had so much good energy. Everyone could tell he was finally comfortable and happy ❤️
My dog now has struggled with allergies since we moved away from Hawaii last year, so we’re gonna start with home cooked food him now. He’s 100 pounds sooooo...it’s gonna be expensive again but totally worth it ❤️
Thanks for posting this 👍🏽👍🏽
I loved watching this! Thank you for taking time to explain some things you discovered during your research. I was very surprised to hear the staining around the eyes was from the dyes in kibble. Wow. Your doggie is precious. :)
Also the staining is from comes from not enough enzymes in the gut. That's why fresh foods are better and give the dog a probiotic and probiotic with enzymes and the staining will go away.
Finally somebody intelligent and informed. I've fed raw diets and cooked. They tend to do better on cooked for me. Thank you for mentioning raw❤️
We feed our dogs raw. Since staring it’s really improved their fur, allergies have subsided & they have so much more energy.
@Caroline Balkon That's interesting. I had no idea raw food would make dogs react that way. One of my dogs is already aggressive I wonder what that would do to him.
Raw is the best!!
@Caroline Balkon that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You have a problem if you think raw food makes your dog aggressive!!
@@dianaevans7102 Have to be careful because of contamination that can lurk in raw meats...
@@secretariatgirl4249 no different than when people prepare their food for cooking. In a healthy dog raw wouldn't cause issues as the bacteria can't survive the enzymes in their stomach.
You and your dog are absolutely adorable!!💕I learned so much. My doggy has been having a lot of the same issues yours was plus potty problems. So I’m so excited to do this and help my baby be happy and healthy and live longer! Thanks for your video. You are a lot of fun to watch! 😊
Thanks for mentioning Pet Fooled. I have watched countless documentaries about the human diet and food industry and how it is making us all sick, but its the first for pets. 😭
I have a mixed maltese shitzu name Oreo. I have made this recipe a few times and he loves,loves it..the plate is always clean,lol 👍😋
omg you have the cutest little fur baby! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Awe thank you Helen! We love her so much. Glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for taking the time to comment❤
Her excitement and frustration is EVERYTHING! I was SO hoping you'd show us her eating it at the end. Patient for a bit, then....FEED ME! She's adorable. How much do you feed her and how often? I'm so going to try this as our older mini poodle is coughing, shedding, itching...I feel so bad and the vet put her on prednisone. Some improvement but I don't want that to be a lifelong thing. Seems we've tried everything else, poor girl. Thanks much for this awesome video! Well done!
would like to hear your update !!! as prednisone can NOT be discontinued suddenly; it is dangerous if not tapered off correctly.
Don't forget omega's, prebiotics, ginger, digestive enzymes, a multi-vitamin to balance out any shortages and organ meats.
.... and fats.. they're an important part of a diet, especially for dogs and in moderation of course. Taken from Petmd dot com website:
Common Sources of Fats and Oils for Dogs
Common sources of omega-3 fatty acids are fish oils (herring, salmon, etc.) and flaxseed and canola oils. Commonly used omega-6 fatty acid sources include pork fat, chicken fat (or any poultry fat), safflower and sunflower oils, as well as corn and soybean oils (vegetable oils).Oct 21, 2011
In what measurements?
@Marlon .Wisdom it is a fine recipe but missing lots of important ingredients. Liver is a must also other offals , instead of putting that much vegetable liver and hearts kidneys etc must be added for it to be perfect recipe. Dogs dont have the same digestion like humans not necessery to give so much veggies especially the ones that could cause gas
I mix some omega 3 fish oil (a pump or so) and some probiotic/prebiotic/enzyme powder (I use Bernies Perfect Poop) on my lil doggies food. I make a recipe like this but put chicken liver and kidneys and a bone broth on top. I make them treats with coconut oil, blueberries, pumpkin, apple, oats, and yogurt etc. I can make an incredible dog cake with a peanut butter/yogurt frosting. Usually though I just give em some carrots and apples or watermelon or pineapple
@@songulabay4290 how much chicken liver would you add to the above recipe/??
omg she's so cute I'm dying!
Awwww love the pup
I am having trouble hearing you. I think your music is to loud.
This is the most precious video. You have given me something to think about for my Westie and her food. Thank you.
I have a Westie also and looking to make her food. Lacey is 5 months old and I want to feed her a better diet.
Hello how are you doing
