BRAND NEW homemade dog food video just went live on my channel! :) I also am running an exciting giveaway in the video that ends March 7, 2024 so get entered!! ruclips.net/video/QSJ_NKe5oAg/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Just FYI, I was a vet tech for 16 yrs, if your dog has a sensitive stomach or trouble with digestion, it's perfectly fine to use white rice, it's easier to digest than brown rice. :)
Do you know what canned of pumpkin puree is the best? I shop at HEB and they all say solid pumpkin puree, but not sure if that's really, "the case." What brand do you all recommend? TIA 😊
I’m on my third week fallowing your recipe. It’s extremely rare for me to write responses for things I run across online. For starters I’ve been cooking for my dogs for years. They have always had some of the ingredients in your recipe. I also competed as a bodybuilder for many years so food prep is in my DNA. I owned a Instantpot so I figured I would give it a try. I have two dogs both rescues. Bella is a Pitbull. Roman is mostly German shorthair. Roman has always had stomach issues. It was always a three day event. One day good second day not so good third day he would spray paint the lawn. He would repeatedly need to get up sometimes three times a night🤬 From the first meal he has had zero digestive issues. I could not be more grateful and humbled. You simply are an Angel 😇. From the bottom of my heart. I thank you and equally important my dogs thank you. If any of you are skeptical feel free to ask me questions. This lady knows her stuff.
Did you always cook for your dogs? My 2 dogs right now eat normal Blue Buffalo dry kibble but I’d like to switch to cooking for them because I think it’d be better for them. I just don’t know how to gradually switch them over
@@danieljamieson7831 do it for sure!!! Blue Buffalo is not good, heck any kibble isn’t good. I would wean them off the kibble by doing half kibble and half of the homemade stuff then gradually keep adding more of the homemade & less kibble, and then no kibble!
Just a heads up ... Spinach has a lot of oxalates ... They absorb calcium ... best to use it only a couple times a week ... True for humans and reptiles also ... You might try collard, mustard or dandelion greens in stead ... Dandelion greens are so easy to grow yourself ... Kale is hard on the thyroid ... so use it only a couple times a week as well ... For extra calcium and omega 3's ... I add a can of sardines ... My dog does not do well with rice ... I use sprouted oatmeal instead ... Hope this is helpful ... Thanks for caring about our wonderful canine companions ... Sending lots of love your way.
Best recipe! Gave my 14 year old dog his health and youth back in 8 days!!! He was sad, antisocial, thin, and getting worse each day. $3k vet bill and scary bloody morning forced me to look for anything to help him. He was diagnosed with IBS. This diet has given him back to us. He is demanding good, 3 walks a day, is fluffy and has gained healthy weight. 🙏 THANK YOU! We tell everyone we know with ailing dogs to get them on this recipe!
Thanks for this! One of my 12 year old Corgies has been diagnosed with kidney disease, but we're not certain of the severity. Recently, she stopped eating and clearly doesn't feel good. I prepared a batch of this today (using chicken) and she ate a full helping! Her energy level is up already! Thanks again! Edit: The other Corg doesn't know this yet, but she's starting this tomorrow!
This lady is a better time manager than me. I would never spend my time cooking for a dog. We will be dumping out some food and throwing out some scraps and eat or don't. There is squirrel jerky on the road. Love to see the meals you fix for your family.
Excellent Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
My dogs are my love my life - I have buried to in my back yard and place them in home made coffins with head stones and cried till I cant cry anymore - my three dogs sleep with use and they love my wife so much - I work in a beef processing plant and I started getting beef meat and organs through my employment for Penney's of the store bought stuff and I cant explain the difference in my dog's - along with fish - Chia seeds - FlAX SEEDS - COCUNUT oil for treats they look so good and so healthy I cant believe it . 80% protein meats and 20% walmart veggies and Kyla - spinach - Asparagus - and so on - 45 things I add-
My dog refused to eat Farmer's Dog....and Ollie too. The recipe from Lexie is far better. I don't understand why none of those foods (Farmer's Dog, Ollie and others) have an aroma...they smell like....nothing.
I started making my dogs food probably 2-3 weeks ago. He’s a senior, has only 2 teeth & since I adopted him in May he’s had gastric issues on and off (vomiting, refusing to eat, constipated) & I just feel so much better giving him this food as opposed to the canned food he had before. It’s not difficult at all with a crockpot and I don’t feel bad feeding him what I would honestly eat myself lol
I think it's super important to mention how many calories this entire batch yields. I carefully calculated (using the exact ingredients she got from Aldi) 4000 calories for the entire batch (give or take 100 calories). Be sure to research how many calories your dog needs in one day so that you can portion it appropriately. On another note, I made this today and my dog looooved it. She ate it so fast. I've made dog food in the past but I stopped because the recipe was overly complicated and only made about 2 days of food, however this batch will last her almost 2 weeks. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Thanks for watching! I understand the calories is very important! I just shared a brand new dog food video and that recipe I calculated the calories per cup to make it helpful for my viewers. ruclips.net/video/Vw00R-9kcJw/видео.html
I recommend not saying "stay" so many times. Say it once, wait for them to stay. If they don't, they don't get their food until they're calm and do a stay. If they do, then give them the food. Same with "sit" and any other commands.
Agreed. I thought it would be hard to teach mine to wait for food but we thought them "leave it" and if they lunged at their food we would quickly pick up the plate. When they were calm we gave them the ok word.
Homemade dog food sounds so much healthier than the packaged one. Wow!! Thanks for sharing all the ingredients and steps on how to make it. I am taking notes. Thanks for sharing.
My dog was living in a car and I'm speculating the streets. I tried to feed him dog food 2 weeks ago and he got EXTREMELY ill within 2 days of doing it. He had Kennel Cough and the vet sent him home on Antibiotics and I went back to cooking for him. He was back to himself within a day of being on the meds and having my food. Every dog is different and not all of them can eat dog food. Thanks for sharing 🐾
What a cute pup! My dog is allergic to literally everything I used to feed her. Chicken, fish, lamb, pumkin, peanutbutter ,all grains and oats, my poor Lily, she was itching and chewing herself raw.😿 I now feed her 1/2 cup of taste if the wild kibble, 1/4 of canned dog food and 1/2 cup of graded raw broccoli, cauliflower and carrots mix, and some turmeric powder, warm water and 1 spoon of coconut oil. Her skin is so much better, she is sleeping better, smells better, and the scratching and chewing has stopped significantly. Her bald spots are full of new fur. My pup was suffering for so long.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I used to pay $160 twice a month for a dog food service that is almost identical in ingredients to this. I’ve been feeding my baby your recipe for the past month and he loves it!! You saved me so much money thank you so much!
I have a pit and a Yorkie...go figure...the Yorkie is soooo finicky and both their tummies would get upset from time to time. Well, I found you’re video and made this recipe and when I tell you they both ate like they were eating for the first time...I almost cried lol. Seriously though, this is amazing. I made enough to last about four days at twice a day...this is their food...for life...will also try chicken, rice and a veggie...👌🏽👏🏽🐶🔥
I’ve been making my dogs food for about five years now but I do a raw dog food which is even healthier. The thing that I noticed is your recipe is missing is chicken or turkey heart and liver plus they need the calcium from turkey neck but you cannot cook this or it will splinter. I also have a Yorky and I used to have a Yorky Poo who lived to be 17 years old and I swear the diet is what made the difference. My dogs had allergies and were chewing on their feet and body a lot so that’s why I switched. I add a dog probiotic and a raw food dog multivitamin powder. I was given this recipe from a friend of mine who is a dog intuitive and Nutritionalist. I batch the vegetables and then freeze them and thaw them as I need them. Broccoli and zucchini as well as yellow squash are really good for them. You have to do spinach in moderation it can be toxic. I also add blueberries as an antioxidant and sometimes a little apple other than that your recipe looks great. I hope this is helpful. We have our local butcher make up our dog blend with chicken, turkey, turkey neck, liver and heart there is a certain proportion that I can give anyone who is interested. The butcher puts it in 2 pound frozen bags. There’s also some wonderful brands of freeze dried raw dog food or frozen raw dog food that you can buy from specialty dog stores. I am so glad your puppy is feeling so much better! Enjoy!
I am a commercial raw food feeder for my 3 pups and cat but would love to have your homemade food recipe. I saw you have a RUclips page. Could you post a video please
This is awesome I could literally cry! I love to see people living their pets seriously they are our kids! I’m definitely going to make this... I have two shorkies but they are no more like 5lbs... I love my babies so much and I’m vegan and I been looking into only feeding them holistically as well and not this kibble crap that you can’t even pronounce the ingredients so I am so glad because h the is just made me so excited and comfortable. I can’t wait!
Wow, 6 years old and still looks like a puppy. His fur looks soooo soft and shiny. I wish more pet parents were like this. We feed our 3 dogs the farmers dog and it’s so expensive (because it’s fresh food). We have 2 standard poodle puppies who are both 6 months and 48 and 45 lbs and one 10 year old dog. We are going to switch to homemade.
My yorkie is 15yrs old and previously developed urinary stones, while on a homemade diet, consisting of lamb, carrots and brown rice. His vet put him on a veterinary diet, but I would much rather him be on a homemade diet. I respect the way you love and take care of your fur babies. I think I will try this diet for my sweet fur baby.
This recipe was a home run with my 7 y/o Lhaso Apso poodle angel. It gave my husband and I great joy to see her go nuts for her supper! Thank you-great videos!
Look into raw dog food. Bones & Co is a good brand or you can make it yourself. Dogs don’t need to be eating lots of produce and cooked meat like that. They do best on raw meat, organ, and crushed bone. 🥰 Rachel Fusaro gives great tips.
Very new to trying this “make your own dog food” thing after learning what was in various kibble. Tried this receipt & the fur babies loved it! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing I just made this today for my 6 month old sheepadoodle who's already 50lbs. I had a figure out a cheap way to feed him before he eats me out of a home lol. He loved it by the way definitely gonna try more of your recipes.
I had decided I need to start making dog food for my pup and I came across your channel.. My dog is an 8 y/o rescue with heartworms for 3 years. I adopted her 6 weeks ago and we started the heartworm treatments 2 weeks ago. The vet has her taking steroids because she retches and won't eat. I do believe this recipe will appeal to her as I've been cooking her chicken and rice and she loves it. But it's not the best for her health. Thank you for taking the time to share this information. And, Merry Christmas!
Exactly!!! But, people can't think for themselves. I quitted all GMO foods and I feel better and so does my dog! We should be eating what hunters and gatherers ate in the past! However, she lost me at when she talked about adding coconut oil into dog food, and never but never mix oils with heat.
you are totally right about the breath regardless of the brand... though as a certified specialist I would also like to give you some tips for even better health! :) 1. Your dogs (or any other dogs) don't ever need starchy foods. They actually could even be fine without plant matter in their food in general, but some plants (like green veggies and berries) are beneficial. But NOT starchy foods - these just contribute to infections, allergies and potentially obesity. So I would cut on the potatoes, peas and rice. My general advice for plants in the diet is 10% - not keto yet, but surely not too much - and it's better too little than too much. 2. Dogs need a source of calcium, whether that be raw bones, egg shells or a synthetic supplement (which I would resort to last). Assuming your dogs aren't raw-fed, I recommend egg shells. 3. Prey animal (beef, chicken etc.) organs (offal) are like the multivitamins for us - so they should certainly be included as well. In a healthy diet, there should be 5-10% liver (raw or cooked) and about 5% heart (raw or cooked), because they are so essential. Other organs, like tripe, kidney or sweetbreads can also be included, but I'm not sure if there's a way to feed them not raw. 4. 5% of the diet should be fish - it's also really important. You can also feed only fish for the day every 20 days, that's up for you. Since choosing fish is not easy, I'll save time for you and list the most beneficial and safe ones: mussels, salmon, cod, sardine (canned in water only!), trout, herring, mackerel, oysters, shrimp. 5. Variety is also needed - don't get me wrong, it's good sticking with the recipes you know your dogs like and live healthy on, but there should be room for variety, so I would probably switch up the recipes more often - and the more you change the diet, the better your dogs will tolerate changes. I think every week - every 3 months would be great. Lastly, thank you for dumping kibble, that's what I fight for every day! :) p.s. the baby carrots may be sprayed with chemicals, so make sure to wash them well
@@jadebennett3595 hi, yes you need to mix the new food with the kibble. Start off with 3/4 kibble and 1/4 new food for about 4 to 5 days. Then 1/2 kibble and 1/2 new food for 4 to 5 days. Then 1/4 kibble and 3/4 new food for few days. Then you can put her 100% on the new food. If you don't introduce new food gradually, she will get diarrhea. I only know this because I have a very picky yorkie and have had to find a food she would eat. You can Google and get professional information too.
How many egg shells would you recommend to ensure your dog is getting enough calcium? I worry about my dogs eating bones because they break off big chunks and swallow them whole. I’m trying to get my dogs off kibble. I can’t afford a raw diet but I can afford to make their food. But I’m so confused on figuring out serving sizes and just nutrients they need in general 😩
Lexu, I have been making this recipe for probably 2 years now for my little Faye! Her constant diarrhea/constipation literally stopped immediately!! I cant thank you enough!! She eats 1/4 cup 2X a day and has gone from 4.5 lbs to 6.6! Hahaha vet says she looks GREAT!! 10 yrs. Old and spry as can be!! 🥰
just wanted to say your video inspired me to start cooking my dogs food. my vet totally was for it as my dog has allergies and doesn’t do well on processed dog food - he has a lot of skin issues. i’ve been cooking for my dog for about a month using a recipe she suggested and the difference i’ve seen in my dog all around is amazinggg. plus he now goes crazy over his food and he is sooo picky! very happy with my decision. i love knowing exactly what he’s eating too. so glad you posted this.
Part 2 of this video is now live!! I share another homemade dog food recipe and also answer tons of the questions you guys have in that video!! ruclips.net/video/Vw00R-9kcJw/видео.html
Excellent Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my BF after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.

It is a good one off product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Dear Lexy, thank you for this very informative video! I have a question though, if one isn't able to get/afford turkey can another protein meat be used?
This is very similar to what I use, and I also add turmeric and dry mustard, occasionally legumes, and brassica veggies like cauliflower, cabbage or kale. I have also subbed out rice for oats, barley or quinoa. My add-ins once cooled, are vitamin and mineral supplement, calcium, oil, kelp, fish oil and a pro and prebiotic. I get as much organic, free-range, and grass-fed components as possible. This is not an inexpensive way to feed dogs, but my two cavaliers are very healthy, and they love their food!
That's awesome that you solved Bentley's tummy issues! We have a 13 year old Queensland Heeler and have been making her food for most of that time! We use a very similar recipe and she loves it too! Homemade food is a great way to go!
I want to say thank you so much for creating your RUclips 🤎 we are new parents to a Jack Russell terrier and our top priority was making sure he ate homemade meals. Your videos have helped us so much. Big hug 🫶🏽
I switched to homemade dog food about 1-2 months ago, and I just love that I know what is in my baby's food! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Going to switch a few things up for mine :) Thanks Lexy!
Mine were slow too. I incorporated a teaspoon Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil to their food (ALL of them love -I've rescued dogs for over 13 years-) and they are able to jump and run now. One of my rescued Chis was dragging her rear legs miraculously, within 6 weeks she was running. She was only 6 years old and she now lives with her wonderful adoptive family. The oil also helps with any gastrointestinal and stomach issues. One teaspoon added to their meals no matter the size our precious companion.
Thank you for that. My dogs suffer from seizures. I have studied different foods suitable for their issue. Three vegetables they shouldn't eat are peas, broccoli and spinach. They are high in glutamate. The rest of these ingredients are ok. In Australia we don't have canned pumpkin, I used butternut. I add green beans, cucumber and cabbage. The carrots, cucumber I don't cook. I also give the raw mince, beef, Turkey and pork and veal from Aldi..
Tried this recipe today. Turned out perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. My Yorkie LOVES it!! I do want to say that I didn't have a ground meat chopper, but a potato masher worked just as well!
This is a life saver. My Sophie girl had 3 seizures this month since I switched her kibble to Blue Buffalo. After wasting money at the pet ER just to be told she’s “fine”, i researched and found that that particular brand can be fatal for some dogs. The only reason I switched to that brand was because what she was eating before was keeping her overweight and she developed a benign fatty cyst. I’ll be making her food from now on. Going to track her appearance and behavior now that we are making her food. Thanks for this amazing video!
I do this for my dog♡ He is a lab mix. I portion it out in servings and put in freezer bags and pop it in the freezer. Then all I have to do is warm it up in the microwave when I need it.
If you go to the trouble of making your dog's food, please don't microwave it. That kills the micro-nutrients and it's just very bad for humans and animals to eat microwaved food. Take a couple minutes to heat on the stove.
I used to cook my goldendoodle food when she was younger and her stomach was a mess! (Diarrhea) so I did ground turkey, peas (blended) carrots (blended)! I did that for about 6 months! Now I feed her taste of wild (best kibble for her) and I still Add ground turkey for taste because other than that she won’t eat! Lol

I don't have a dog but I want one... I kinda like the idea of homemade dog food... But while watching the video and your comment, I remembered when I was like 10, my oldest brother 13 found or stole a beautiful border collie... I don't know what that dry food was that my mother fed her but it was moist and kinda looked like ground beef... That dog was running around with my youngest brothers son who was 8 when we got her and her coat was as beautiful as ever... I was in my 30's when she was put down because she went blind... I wonder if the really need all these that vets say they do... She lived over 20 years and never went to a vet! I miss that dog, she was such a human that she would go in the bathroom and get tissue to cover her food and would not go the bathroom if you looked at her! Lol forgive me for writing a book!
I am so glad to see another pet mum who asks her dogs to sit, stay and eat. My bull terrier is seven years old and looks at me like I'm nuts every feeding time. She doesn't like rules and marches to the beat of her own drum, or at least tries. She has food and environmental allergies and I am having trouble getting her prescription food as a reasonable price so am going to try cooking her food. thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much for the recipes. I started making our dogs food this week and they are so happy! For those that are budget conscious my husband remembered that his mom used to buy the butcher’s sawdust (they are meat and bone shavings) so we went to a local market and got it for .59¢ a pound. We will post a picture when done.
Made this for the three dogs in my home and have been giving it to my dog (11 month old mixed breed) and she loves it: thank you so much !! PS. My dog 🐶 name is Lexy as well 💗
I recently switched up my dog food and my dog has been throwing it up. She is up and playing though and she is using the restroom like normal. I’m honestly thinking that it is the food that is not cooperating well with my pup’s stomach. I wanted to feed my dog healthier food and I’m so thankful that I found your video! Im going to feed my Golden who is older and has been having a lot skin problems and I heard that homemade food helps with that as well!
Thanks so much for this awesome recipe! I love the way you walk us through it at a nice pace. I also love that you sweet talk with your babies - the way I do with my little baby girl too ☺️
You are a lovely lovely woman! So happy you have a you tube channel, what a pure blessing you are! Thank you for loving your dogs and making their lives healthy and happy. I wish I could send you flowers! 💐💕
I've been giving my pit a similar recipe for probably 4 of his 6 years. If I knew how bad kibble was earlier I would of started even earlier. I use chop meat , or turkey, or chicken.. I switch it up . and ill switch between sweet potato and butternut squash.. and I use UDOS oil, its for humans but its got the omega 3 6 9 , its on amazon and its expensive, I also use the same seaweed calcium as u do.. it feels good to have a food that ur dog wants to eat, not dried poison they have to eat cuz they r hungry..
I have a 5 yr old 68lb pit, how many cups of this homemade food do you give your pup a day? She’s always been a picky eater but she’ll literally starve herself because she hates the kibble. I started just giving her rice and chicken but I realized she needs all her nutrients. What multi vitamins do u recommend? And supplements? Thanks
I gave her this recipe last night and this morning for breakfast and i was almost in tears! She was so happy eating her new food! Thanks for replying I wasn’t sure how much I should be feeding her.
@@Cmorales618 Yeah it makes a big difference you don't want to give your animal poison like kibble. My pit is 70 pounds and I give him 2 and a 1/2 cups.. I've been doing it for probably 5 years
My min pin peanut just got out of the hospital for a bacterial infection in his belly. He was so so sick, critical condition. He’s on a bland diet for the next week so I made him a batch of white rice boiled chicken and scrambled egg. I’m planning on switching him and my beagle over to homemade food full time. In hopes of preventing anymore tummy problems. Love the video thank you for the info!
Thank you for the info me and my mom made our first batch of this today and our dogs seem to love it and one of them has the same problems as your dog with skin allergies and sensitive stomach so I can’t wait to see how it works
@@lynnwilhoite6194They love it and it helps our dog with the allergies not itch so much it’s helped her sensitive stomach they demand it at meal times!!! 😂💕💕💕
My dog just recovered after being for 1week in a hospital after a neighbour threw food over the fence that my dog Bella ate and had an allergic reaction. The vet told me that after this I should feed her homemade food and this helped me a lot. Thanks
I feed my kittens very similar thing. They got bad diarrhea when they were fed kibbles. I was in the same situation where I had to homemake their food, boom, all problems gone. My kittens got shiny coats, good breath, good smell, more energy and less bloated, less regular feeding. Even their poop smells better.
Hi Lexy, I got out my note pad and took notes, remarks and ideas (literally) like a good girl lol. Here’s what I thought : *I wanna express my gratitude to you for sharing such crucial, amazing information; I know how challenging it can be trying to figure out how/ what to cook for our fur babies, most information online is not pertinent. * as a suggestion: try ( specially for international viewers) to measure the ingredients, instead of using CUPS as a measuring unit. Grams/ Oz are more accurate (imho) i.e. if the pieces are too big the cup is goona have less weight as opposed to very small pieces and thus the weight isn’t gonna be the same ( I guess ) I’m just guessing cause I’m not American and don’t really know how to use a cup as a measurement unit. If you do Oz we can all convert it to whatever unit we use. * Your hands and manicure are esthetically pleasing 🥰 * Your ( maybe engagement?) ring is gorgeous 😊 Thank you again/ I liked and subscribed to support you 💜
I have a 9 pound yorkie. I have made both of your recipes in the instant pot. This is a game changer for him he looooves it! He’s a picky eater and will walk away if he doesn’t like it. I also got the supplement you suggested and put it in his food before he eats. Thank you so much!
I have a seven-year-old German Shepherd who has food allergies. I've tried several different types and brands of dog food both dry and wet. I can't find anything that doesn't have the starches that she is allergic to. I want to start making her food and see if that helps. How much of this would you feed a large breed dog? Can chicken be substituted for Turkey? Also, I read through a lot of the comments. I'm so, so happy to see so many people who love their pets so very much.
Veils I have a German shepherd too. She is great with science hill ( the one ha s s German and pic in front). She is almost 10. Just try. But I think I am going to cook her food now. The economy is bad.
Well I have just made some for my Yorkie of 10 years and he was going off his old food and I was tearing my hair out trying to get him to have something different and nutritious.. It's a huge success he loves it and I even tried some minus the vitimins and it was very tasty. No added stock needed. No salt. No wonder he gobbled it up. Used a little at first with his usual food and woofed that down. Now slowly changing it over. Trouble is now he is full of mischief but that is not a complaint! Thanks so much.
Thank you! I have been cooking for my pups for years after two huge scares with commercial dog foods. I am always looking to tweak and perfect their diet. I cook everything individually, and mixture when they get ready to eat. I love your recipes and list of supplements. A canine nutritionist is a great idea. First time on your channel. Liked and subscribed.
I just brought a Lab puppy home, 2 months now. She has only been on 2 dog foods, the one the breeder started her on and the one I changed her to (Blue Buffalo puppy) and she can't stop scratching and chewing on herself, her skin is flaking....I was online doing research as to what I could change her to and I find YOU! My last dog got cáncer and I know it was from the food, I have always wanted to use an all natural food, that's why I chose Blue.... but now, I'm doing it whole heartedly! Thank you for sharing the links, you made my life a ton easier. I'll give updates...
Looks delish! I make all my dog's food too... I'll try this recipe. You might want to consider adding liver/heart etc in addition to the meat. I also add powdered egg shell for calcium.
blessings,for you and your baby’s,we need people like you,Ifeeling so good,because this babys are human they feeling,they crying they are sweet,good bless you.We need stop abuse animal 😘🐶🐶
Great video! Your dogs are supper cute. Couple of other ingredients you might want to try (vet approved) are Zucchini, Broccoli, Eggs, olive oil, and apple sauce. I use all of your ingredients plus the ones I listed here. My dogs love it, and their health is great for two 12 year old dogs. Also I bought a case of BPA free plastic containers, and I divide a huge stock pot into 30 of these containers (each container has a one day supply), and freeze them so I only have to do this once a month. I just pull one out of the freezer each night and put in the fridge to replace the thawed one I am using that day.
My girl loves this recipe, made it for the first time tonight. She loves it!!! I've been ordering fresh cooked food, delivered frozen but this saves me a fortune. Thankyou for sharing 😊
A while ago I bombarded you with questions and you were kind enough to answer all of them but I never thanked you so THANK YOU. I have added some other veggies and my does love the food so much they stand there waiting. When I used to feed them canned dog food and kibble they would smell it and walk away. They ate it because they had to. My one dog did vomit a lot and my other dog had a lot of stomach issues. They have both improved tremendously. Unfortunately my one dog is overweight so I’m feeding him just a little more then 1/2 cup a day but they eat the food so fast and lick the bowls for 5 minutes after they’re done eating I’m afraid they’re not getting enough food. I’m just so glad they’re finally eating their food. Thank you again for the recipe and great video. I’m glad you used the instant pot. I like using it to make their food.
This was so enjoyable to watch. You're such an awesome doggie mom! I wish there were more people out there that loved them so much. I'm just starting to home cook for mine. :)
Thank you so so much for this! This is amazing! My 17 yr old dachshund has become increasingly picky, he always has been but lately he started rejecting all his food while still looking hungry and scavenging for crumbs around the floor. He's always been thin and can't afford to lose weight, plus we lost his sister 2 months ago and I cannot bear the thought of losing him soon too. So I made the decision to switch him to fresh food as opposed to his kibble mixed with canned food and decided to try Farmer's Dog food delivery. He absolutely loved it, that's all he wanted, "people like food". The problem is, those fresh food companies are too expensive for us. I thought wait a minute, I can make my own. Seems simple enough just meat and veggies. So glad to have found your video, this is extremely helpful and as this week I'll run out of FM I will start making it myself. I have an instant pot and just received the meat smasher. Thank you!
UPDATE: food was a hit! But when I started mixing some chicken or turkey Farmer’s Dog we still have left he’d reject it. So I have a beef snob and that’s what we’re sticking too. Freezer safe ziplocs work great for storage. I have a second batch in the instant pot as I type this! 🙌
Part 3 is now live!! I share yet another homemade dog food recipe! I have to say this one is my dogs FAVORITE recipe 💗💗 ruclips.net/video/I8LsAjUK9vo/видео.html
Thank you for the video and info. I was contemplating getting them back on their original high quality kibble but it's $45 for 24lbs and doesn't last like it used. Mine like their food wet anyway, so I've been researching for months for homemade diet and the raw diet. Especially, during the pandemic they're Bison flavored kibble is being bought up, and my 1yo is a very picky eater.
For most dogs for the long term this recipe may have too much vitamin A and can eventually lead to liver toxicity. The Vitamin A is high in the sweet potatoes, carrots, and pumpkin (but this is a great recipe for a dog prone to diarrhea/vomiting shortish term but may need to be adjusted later down the road). You clearly are a great doggie Mom and know what is best for your pup but it may not be the best for every pup. I 100% admire you for making your own doggy food. It just takes so much research! Thank you for inspiring others to feed their dogs healthier food vs. the conventional unhealthy food, they will feel better and live so much longer. ( btw- Whole egg with shells crushed is a great way to add calcium/grounded bone meal).
My poor girl is 6 and has developed severe gastrointestinal issues. I’m going to start making her food. This recipe looks great, thanks so much for sharing! 🐶 ❤️
Best video I've seen on homemade dog food. Fun training tip: Your dog hears you the first time. I've been binge watching @RachelFusaro's videos and she says to say the command one time and then wait until it' been acted on. Been working wonders with my 12-week old pup.
I’m a new dog mom and My dog is super pickey I made this recipe last night and She loves it! No more paying almost $15 everyday for dog food! Thank you ❤️
You can put an egg In for calcium with the shell. I did not notice any difference with my dogs coat with the coconut oil but I tried olive oil and it had helped! I also just get pure balance all natural ingredients with no additives or dyes/colors but I add meat once in awhile with vitamins to it.
Instead of using a masher, try putting the mixture into a cuisinart mixer with the paddle and running it. It does a great job of pulling stewed pork or beef and would surely work well for this.
I'm going to make this... for my dog and me😂 probably gonna go with a bit of seasoning and chicken broth for mine, but that's an awesome looking recipe!😁♥️
BRAND NEW homemade dog food video just went live on my channel! :) I also am running an exciting giveaway in the video that ends March 7, 2024 so get entered!!

If I’m not using brown rice do I still add 2 cups of water?
Just FYI, I was a vet tech for 16 yrs, if your dog has a sensitive stomach or trouble with digestion, it's perfectly fine to use white rice, it's easier to digest than brown rice. :)
Oh, thank you that’s good to know
I have a frenchie I just got for Christmas and he farts a lot what is a good mix to make ?
Brown rice more fiber,and vitamins, white rice is good for upset tummy.
Would it be OK to mix white and brown rice or is that too much over kill?
Thank you my pup definitely has a sensitive stomach I want to start him on homemade food just don’t know when’s a good age to start him
If using canned ingredients just make sure there is no salt added. Just for anyone who didn't know already
Good point!!
Always unsalted and veggies organic.
Or onions
Do you know what canned of pumpkin puree is the best? I shop at HEB and they all say solid pumpkin puree, but not sure if that's really, "the case." What brand do you all recommend? TIA 😊
@@ClarissaCantu you can go to a pet store and purchase pumpkin purée
I’m on my third week fallowing your recipe. It’s extremely rare for me to write responses for things I run across online. For starters I’ve been cooking for my dogs for years. They have always had some of the ingredients in your recipe. I also competed as a bodybuilder for many years so food prep is in my DNA. I owned a Instantpot so I figured I would give it a try. I have two dogs both rescues. Bella is a Pitbull. Roman is mostly German shorthair. Roman has always had stomach issues. It was always a three day event. One day good second day not so good third day he would spray paint the lawn. He would repeatedly need to get up sometimes three times a night🤬 From the first meal he has had zero digestive issues. I could not be more grateful and humbled. You simply are an Angel 😇. From the bottom of my heart. I thank you and equally important my dogs thank you. If any of you are skeptical feel free to ask me questions. This lady knows her stuff.
Did you always cook for your dogs? My 2 dogs right now eat normal Blue Buffalo dry kibble but I’d like to switch to cooking for them because I think it’d be better for them. I just don’t know how to gradually switch them over
@@danieljamieson7831 do it for sure!!! Blue Buffalo is not good, heck any kibble isn’t good. I would wean them off the kibble by doing half kibble and half of the homemade stuff then gradually keep adding more of the homemade & less kibble, and then no kibble!
I have been cooking for my dog she is so happy now, also she lost five pounds and looks better than ever at 13yrs old.
How much do you feed daily?
How much do you fed your German shepherd?
Just a heads up ... Spinach has a lot of oxalates ... They absorb calcium ... best to use it only a couple times a week ... True for humans and reptiles also ... You might try collard, mustard or dandelion greens in stead ... Dandelion greens are so easy to grow yourself ... Kale is hard on the thyroid ... so use it only a couple times a week as well ... For extra calcium and omega 3's ... I add a can of sardines ... My dog does not do well with rice ... I use sprouted oatmeal instead ... Hope this is helpful ... Thanks for caring about our wonderful canine companions ... Sending lots of love your way.
Best recipe! Gave my 14 year old dog his health and youth back in 8 days!!! He was sad, antisocial, thin, and getting worse each day. $3k vet bill and scary bloody morning forced me to look for anything to help him. He was diagnosed with IBS. This diet has given him back to us. He is demanding good, 3 walks a day, is fluffy and has gained healthy weight. 🙏 THANK YOU! We tell everyone we know with ailing dogs to get them on this recipe!
omg omg praise God!!! thank you for sharing 💖💖💖
Thanks for this! One of my 12 year old Corgies has been diagnosed with kidney disease, but we're not certain of the severity. Recently, she stopped eating and clearly doesn't feel good. I prepared a batch of this today (using chicken) and she ate a full helping! Her energy level is up already! Thanks again!
Edit: The other Corg doesn't know this yet, but she's starting this tomorrow!
I hope your doggy is doing better.
Awesome! Super happy your pup is doing better!
Aww, I hope you and your corgies are doing well now! 💗
Use white rice if dog has kidney disease. White rice has less phosphorus than brown rice.
That’s one lucky dog, your an excellent and responsible dog owner who goes above and beyond the call of duty. God bless you.
thank you!
Good Morning, in today’s video I am going to be sharing how I make my homemade dog food! You guys requested this so hope you enjoy it 🤗🤗💗
Do you have the recipe?
This lady is a better time manager than me. I would never spend my time cooking for a dog. We will be dumping out some food and throwing out some scraps and eat or don't. There is squirrel jerky on the road. Love to see the meals you fix for your family.
Excellent Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
I have a Yorkie with tummy issues and we’re going to try this recipe this week. How much food do you give your Yorkie?
Thank You for the recipe. I am going to give it a try for my dog with acid reflux.
This video made me smile!!! Love to see people take such good care of their dogs! Love it 🐶💛
Thank you ❤️
My dogs are my love my life - I have buried to in my back yard and place them in home made coffins with head stones and cried till I cant cry anymore - my three dogs sleep with use and they love my wife so much - I work in a beef processing plant and I started getting beef meat and organs through my employment for Penney's of the store bought stuff and I cant explain the difference in my dog's - along with fish - Chia seeds - FlAX SEEDS - COCUNUT oil for treats they look so good and so healthy I cant believe it . 80% protein meats and 20% walmart veggies and Kyla - spinach - Asparagus - and so on - 45 things I add-
@@charley124 😔😢
This came in time. I was going to order from farmer's daughter dog food. This will save me money
My dog refused to eat Farmer's Dog....and Ollie too. The recipe from Lexie is far better. I don't understand why none of those foods (Farmer's Dog, Ollie and others) have an aroma...they smell like....nothing.
And it cost me a fortune (over $1,000) to find out that my girl won't eat Farmer's Dog etc.
I started making my dogs food probably 2-3 weeks ago. He’s a senior, has only 2 teeth & since I adopted him in May he’s had gastric issues on and off (vomiting, refusing to eat, constipated) & I just feel so much better giving him this food as opposed to the canned food he had before. It’s not difficult at all with a crockpot and I don’t feel bad feeding him what I would honestly eat myself lol
u must cook food groups seperate not in a pot altogether with the meat. Crock pots and the pressure cookers kills nutrients
I think it's super important to mention how many calories this entire batch yields. I carefully calculated (using the exact ingredients she got from Aldi) 4000 calories for the entire batch (give or take 100 calories). Be sure to research how many calories your dog needs in one day so that you can portion it appropriately. On another note, I made this today and my dog looooved it. She ate it so fast. I've made dog food in the past but I stopped because the recipe was overly complicated and only made about 2 days of food, however this batch will last her almost 2 weeks. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Thanks for watching! I understand the calories is very important! I just shared a brand new dog food video and that recipe I calculated the calories per cup to make it helpful for my viewers.
ruclips.net/video/Vw00R-9kcJw/видео.html
How many calories per cup? I cannot figure it out for the life of me
I recommend not saying "stay" so many times. Say it once, wait for them to stay. If they don't, they don't get their food until they're calm and do a stay. If they do, then give them the food. Same with "sit" and any other commands.
yes! Exactly!!!!
Agreed. I thought it would be hard to teach mine to wait for food but we thought them "leave it" and if they lunged at their food we would quickly pick up the plate. When they were calm we gave them the ok word.
@@therealoracle thanks for this comment
for real... that was so annoying and cringe
Homemade dog food sounds so much healthier than the packaged one. Wow!! Thanks for sharing all the ingredients and steps on how to make it. I am taking notes. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
My dog was living in a car and I'm speculating the streets. I tried to feed him dog food 2 weeks ago and he got EXTREMELY ill within 2 days of doing it. He had Kennel Cough and the vet sent him home on Antibiotics and I went back to cooking for him. He was back to himself within a day of being on the meds and having my food. Every dog is different and not all of them can eat dog food. Thanks for sharing 🐾
Aww so happy your baby is better 🙌🏾💗😍😍
What a cute pup! My dog is allergic to literally everything I used to feed her. Chicken, fish, lamb, pumkin, peanutbutter ,all grains and oats, my poor Lily, she was itching and chewing herself raw.😿 I now feed her 1/2 cup of taste if the wild kibble, 1/4 of canned dog food and 1/2 cup of graded raw broccoli, cauliflower and carrots mix, and some turmeric powder, warm water and 1 spoon of coconut oil. Her skin is so much better, she is sleeping better, smells better, and the scratching and chewing has stopped significantly. Her bald spots are full of new fur. My pup was suffering for so long.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I used to pay $160 twice a month for a dog food service that is almost identical in ingredients to this. I’ve been feeding my baby your recipe for the past month and he loves it!! You saved me so much money thank you so much!
Using this recipe, how much do you pay now?
I love people like you that care for their animals.
thank you 🥰
You can always add egg shells for calcium..that is what I do. Mine love liver treats
I have a pit and a Yorkie...go figure...the Yorkie is soooo finicky and both their tummies would get upset from time to time. Well, I found you’re video and made this recipe and when I tell you they both ate like they were eating for the first time...I almost cried lol. Seriously though, this is amazing. I made enough to last about four days at twice a day...this is their food...for life...will also try chicken, rice and a veggie...👌🏽👏🏽🐶🔥
So happy to hear 🤗🤗🤗
I’ve been making my dogs food for about five years now but I do a raw dog food which is even healthier. The thing that I noticed is your recipe is missing is chicken or turkey heart and liver plus they need the calcium from turkey neck but you cannot cook this or it will splinter. I also have a Yorky and I used to have a Yorky Poo who lived to be 17 years old and I swear the diet is what made the difference. My dogs had allergies and were chewing on their feet and body a lot so that’s why I switched. I add a dog probiotic and a raw food dog multivitamin powder. I was given this recipe from a friend of mine who is a dog intuitive and Nutritionalist. I batch the vegetables and then freeze them and thaw them as I need them. Broccoli and zucchini as well as yellow squash are really good for them. You have to do spinach in moderation it can be toxic. I also add blueberries as an antioxidant and sometimes a little apple other than that your recipe looks great. I hope this is helpful. We have our local butcher make up our dog blend with chicken, turkey, turkey neck, liver and heart there is a certain proportion that I can give anyone who is interested. The butcher puts it in 2 pound frozen bags. There’s also some wonderful brands of freeze dried raw dog food or frozen raw dog food that you can buy from specialty dog stores. I am so glad your puppy is feeling so much better! Enjoy!
Robin can you make a video on what you do and portions? Thanks!
I would love the recipe 🙏
do you recommend the vital fresh pet??
I am a commercial raw food feeder for my 3 pups and cat but would love to have your homemade food recipe. I saw you have a RUclips page. Could you post a video please
I cook my cats food for 20 years. Pork,rice, peas and i would have my pharmacist compound their nutrients. All 3 lived to be 21 together.
This is awesome I could literally cry! I love to see people living their pets seriously they are our kids! I’m definitely going to make this... I have two shorkies but they are no more like 5lbs... I love my babies so much and I’m vegan and I been looking into only feeding them holistically as well and not this kibble crap that you can’t even pronounce the ingredients so I am so glad because h the is just made me so excited and comfortable. I can’t wait!
Please give your dogs meat even though your vegan
I had been making food for my master Marshy for 3 years, he loves it! Ground chix, sweet potatoes, broccoli, zucchini, peas and rice.
Wow, 6 years old and still looks like a puppy. His fur looks soooo soft and shiny. I wish more pet parents were like this. We feed our 3 dogs the farmers dog and it’s so expensive (because it’s fresh food). We have 2 standard poodle puppies who are both 6 months and 48 and 45 lbs and one 10 year old dog. We are going to switch to homemade.
I love that you’ve listed absolutely everything on the description , thank you so much for that
My yorkie is 15yrs old and previously developed urinary stones, while on a homemade diet, consisting of lamb, carrots and brown rice. His vet put him on a veterinary diet, but I would much rather him be on a homemade diet. I respect the way you love and take care of your fur babies. I think I will try this diet for my sweet fur baby.
This recipe was a home run with my 7 y/o Lhaso Apso poodle angel. It gave my husband and I great joy to see her go nuts for her supper! Thank you-great videos!
I’m about to get my first puppy. And lately I’ve been doing my own research and I thank you for this video. I want to feed my dog healthy food
Look into raw dog food. Bones & Co is a good brand or you can make it yourself. Dogs don’t need to be eating lots of produce and cooked meat like that. They do best on raw meat, organ, and crushed bone. 🥰 Rachel Fusaro gives great tips.
Raw meat is best. No cooking needed
Very new to trying this “make your own dog food” thing after learning what was in various kibble. Tried this receipt & the fur babies loved it! Thank you for sharing.
I love that you love animals God bless you you made my day
Thanks for sharing I just made this today for my 6 month old sheepadoodle who's already 50lbs. I had a figure out a cheap way to feed him before he eats me out of a home lol. He loved it by the way definitely gonna try more of your recipes.
My dog cleaned his bowl. I am so happy with this recipe.
I've been making my yorkie's food for about 9 months now. I love knowing exactly what I am giving him and he devours the food in minutes.
I had decided I need to start making dog food for my pup and I came across your channel.. My dog is an 8 y/o rescue with heartworms for 3 years. I adopted her 6 weeks ago and we started the heartworm treatments 2 weeks ago. The vet has her taking steroids because she retches and won't eat. I do believe this recipe will appeal to her as I've been cooking her chicken and rice and she loves it. But it's not the best for her health. Thank you for taking the time to share this information. And, Merry Christmas!
This just melted my ❤. Good job taking such good care of your fur babies 🐶🐶
Thank you so much!
Most people would be healthier if they ate like that.
Exactly!!! But, people can't think for themselves. I quitted all GMO foods and I feel better and so does my dog! We should be eating what hunters and gatherers ate in the past! However, she lost me at when she talked about adding coconut oil into dog food, and never but never mix oils with heat.
@@eara8426 coconut oil highly resistant to oxidation at high heat. For this reason, it is very suitable for high-heat cooking methods like frying
@@eara8426 coconut oil is very healthy for dogs. Really helps their coat. Coconut oil is one of the best oils for cooking too
So true.
@@eara8426 did you know all bananas are basically gmo? Gmo =/= bad
you are totally right about the breath regardless of the brand... though as a certified specialist I would also like to give you some tips for even better health! :)
1. Your dogs (or any other dogs) don't ever need starchy foods. They actually could even be fine without plant matter in their food in general, but some plants (like green veggies and berries) are beneficial. But NOT starchy foods - these just contribute to infections, allergies and potentially obesity. So I would cut on the potatoes, peas and rice. My general advice for plants in the diet is 10% - not keto yet, but surely not too much - and it's better too little than too much.
2. Dogs need a source of calcium, whether that be raw bones, egg shells or a synthetic supplement (which I would resort to last). Assuming your dogs aren't raw-fed, I recommend egg shells.
3. Prey animal (beef, chicken etc.) organs (offal) are like the multivitamins for us - so they should certainly be included as well. In a healthy diet, there should be 5-10% liver (raw or cooked) and about 5% heart (raw or cooked), because they are so essential. Other organs, like tripe, kidney or sweetbreads can also be included, but I'm not sure if there's a way to feed them not raw.
4. 5% of the diet should be fish - it's also really important. You can also feed only fish for the day every 20 days, that's up for you. Since choosing fish is not easy, I'll save time for you and list the most beneficial and safe ones: mussels, salmon, cod, sardine (canned in water only!), trout, herring, mackerel, oysters, shrimp.
5. Variety is also needed - don't get me wrong, it's good sticking with the recipes you know your dogs like and live healthy on, but there should be room for variety, so I would probably switch up the recipes more often - and the more you change the diet, the better your dogs will tolerate changes. I think every week - every 3 months would be great.
Lastly, thank you for dumping kibble, that's what I fight for every day! :)
p.s. the baby carrots may be sprayed with chemicals, so make sure to wash them well
would it be okay to mix with kibble. to help get used to new food instead of just giving them something new out of nowhere. idk if that made sense
Thank you so much 🤗🤗❤️
Thank you for the good information.
@@jadebennett3595 hi, yes you need to mix the new food with the kibble. Start off with 3/4 kibble and 1/4 new food for about 4 to 5 days. Then 1/2 kibble and 1/2 new food for 4 to 5 days. Then 1/4 kibble and 3/4 new food for few days. Then you can put her 100% on the new food. If you don't introduce new food gradually, she will get diarrhea. I only know this because I have a very picky yorkie and have had to find a food she would eat. You can Google and get professional information too.
How many egg shells would you recommend to ensure your dog is getting enough calcium? I worry about my dogs eating bones because they break off big chunks and swallow them whole. I’m trying to get my dogs off kibble. I can’t afford a raw diet but I can afford to make their food. But I’m so confused on figuring out serving sizes and just nutrients they need in general 😩
Lexu, I have been making this recipe for probably 2 years now for my little Faye! Her constant diarrhea/constipation literally stopped immediately!! I cant thank you enough!! She eats 1/4 cup 2X a day and has gone from 4.5 lbs to 6.6! Hahaha vet says she looks GREAT!! 10 yrs. Old and spry as can be!! 🥰
omg this is such a beautiful story!! Thank you so much for sharing 💖 I am so glad this recipe has changed your dogs life!!
just wanted to say your video inspired me to start cooking my dogs food. my vet totally was for it as my dog has allergies and doesn’t do well on processed dog food - he has a lot of skin issues. i’ve been cooking for my dog for about a month using a recipe she suggested and the difference i’ve seen in my dog all around is amazinggg. plus he now goes crazy over his food and he is sooo picky! very happy with my decision. i love knowing exactly what he’s eating too. so glad you posted this.
So glad I could help!!
Another good thing to feed them would be cranberries but a small amount, it helps them not get UTIs. But don't feed them to many.
Thank you for sharing that!! I have heard cranberries are amazing for dogs!
Dried?
@@eschneider317 yeah dried cranberries

Dear Lexy, thank you for this very informative video!
I have a question though, if one isn't able to get/afford turkey can another protein meat be used?
This is very similar to what I use, and I also add turmeric and dry mustard, occasionally legumes, and brassica veggies like cauliflower, cabbage or kale. I have also subbed out rice for oats, barley or quinoa. My add-ins once cooled, are vitamin and mineral supplement, calcium, oil, kelp, fish oil and a pro and prebiotic. I get as much organic, free-range, and grass-fed components as possible. This is not an inexpensive way to feed dogs, but my two cavaliers are very healthy, and they love their food!
That's awesome that you solved Bentley's tummy issues! We have a 13 year old Queensland Heeler and have been making her food for most of that time! We use a very similar recipe and she loves it too! Homemade food is a great way to go!
yes it is!! 💖
I want to say thank you so much for creating your RUclips 🤎 we are new parents to a Jack Russell terrier and our top priority was making sure he ate homemade meals. Your videos have helped us so much. Big hug 🫶🏽

I switched to homemade dog food about 1-2 months ago, and I just love that I know what is in my baby's food! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Going to switch a few things up for mine :) Thanks Lexy!
Thanks for watching!!
My little dog who is 18 years old was is having stomach issues. I did you recipe and he loves it. I’m so glad I found you channel.
definitely gonna incorporate this into my eighties diets especially my older dog he’s just moving so slow recently
Mine were slow too. I incorporated a teaspoon Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil to their food (ALL of them love -I've rescued dogs for over 13 years-) and they are able to jump and run now. One of my rescued Chis was dragging her rear legs miraculously, within 6 weeks she was running. She was only 6 years old and she now lives with her wonderful adoptive family. The oil also helps with any gastrointestinal and stomach issues.
One teaspoon added to their meals no matter the size our precious companion.
Thank you for that. My dogs suffer from seizures. I have studied different foods suitable for their issue. Three vegetables they shouldn't eat are peas, broccoli and spinach. They are high in glutamate. The rest of these ingredients are ok.
In Australia we don't have canned pumpkin, I used butternut. I add green beans, cucumber and cabbage.
The carrots, cucumber I don't cook. I also give the raw mince, beef, Turkey and pork and veal from Aldi..
Tried this recipe today. Turned out perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. My Yorkie LOVES it!! I do want to say that I didn't have a ground meat chopper, but a potato masher worked just as well!
Wonderful! thanks for watching ❤️
This is a life saver. My Sophie girl had 3 seizures this month since I switched her kibble to Blue Buffalo. After wasting money at the pet ER just to be told she’s “fine”, i researched and found that that particular brand can be fatal for some dogs. The only reason I switched to that brand was because what she was eating before was keeping her overweight and she developed a benign fatty cyst. I’ll be making her food from now on. Going to track her appearance and behavior now that we are making her food. Thanks for this amazing video!
I also add one egg to the dish and fish oil
instead cocount oil.
I do this for my dog♡
He is a lab mix. I portion it out in servings and put in freezer bags and pop it in the freezer. Then all I have to do is warm it up in the microwave when I need it.
If you go to the trouble of making your dog's food, please don't microwave it. That kills the micro-nutrients and it's just very bad for humans and animals to eat microwaved food. Take a couple minutes to heat on the stove.
I used to cook my goldendoodle food when she was younger and her stomach was a mess! (Diarrhea) so I did ground turkey, peas (blended) carrots (blended)! I did that for about 6 months! Now I feed her taste of wild (best kibble for her) and I still Add ground turkey for taste because other than that she won’t eat! Lol

I don't have a dog but I want one... I kinda like the idea of homemade dog food... But while watching the video and your comment, I remembered when I was like 10, my oldest brother 13 found or stole a beautiful border collie... I don't know what that dry food was that my mother fed her but it was moist and kinda looked like ground beef... That dog was running around with my youngest brothers son who was 8 when we got her and her coat was as beautiful as ever... I was in my 30's when she was put down because she went blind... I wonder if the really need all these that vets say they do... She lived over 20 years and never went to a vet! I miss that dog, she was such a human that she would go in the bathroom and get tissue to cover her food and would not go the bathroom if you looked at her! Lol forgive me for writing a book!
If that's the case you didn't know what you was doing _ have your pup come live with me for 1 month he wont go back to UUUUUUU
@@cutthekibble2874 what should we feed them instead of kibble?
I feed my pups Taste of the Wild kibble too. No Turkey meat... just kibble. Sometimes I’ll add carrot bites in.
I am so glad to see another pet mum who asks her dogs to sit, stay and eat. My bull terrier is seven years old and looks at me like I'm nuts every feeding time. She doesn't like rules and marches to the beat of her own drum, or at least tries. She has food and environmental allergies and I am having trouble getting her prescription food as a reasonable price so am going to try cooking her food. thanks for the inspiration.
This is so helpful! My dog has been having a skin itching problem and I think his dog food has been the culprit. I’m going to try this recipe.
Hope your fur baby enjoys it!
My poor Sophie girl has the same problem, was switching to this helpful for his skin issues??
Thanks so much for the recipes. I started making our dogs food this week and they are so happy! For those that are budget conscious my husband remembered that his mom used to buy the butcher’s sawdust (they are meat and bone shavings) so we went to a local market and got it for .59¢ a pound. We will post a picture when done.
Made this for the three dogs in my home and have been giving it to my dog (11 month old mixed breed) and she loves it: thank you so much !! PS. My dog 🐶 name is Lexy as well 💗
I recently switched up my dog food and my dog has been throwing it up. She is up and playing though and she is using the restroom like normal. I’m honestly thinking that it is the food that is not cooperating well with my pup’s stomach. I wanted to feed my dog healthier food and I’m so thankful that I found your video! Im going to feed my Golden who is older and has been having a lot skin problems and I heard that homemade food helps with that as well!
Thanks so much for this awesome recipe! I love the way you walk us through it at a nice pace. I also love that you sweet talk with your babies - the way I do with my little baby girl too ☺️
You are a lovely lovely woman! So happy you have a you tube channel, what a pure blessing you are! Thank you for loving your dogs and making their lives healthy and happy. I wish I could send you flowers! 💐💕
I've been giving my pit a similar recipe for probably 4 of his 6 years. If I knew how bad kibble was earlier I would of started even earlier. I use chop meat , or turkey, or chicken.. I switch it up . and ill switch between sweet potato and butternut squash.. and I use UDOS oil, its for humans but its got the omega 3 6 9 , its on amazon and its expensive, I also use the same seaweed calcium as u do.. it feels good to have a food that ur dog wants to eat, not dried poison they have to eat cuz they r hungry..
That is so great 💗 thanks for watching!!
I have a 5 yr old 68lb pit, how many cups of this homemade food do you give your pup a day? She’s always been a picky eater but she’ll literally starve herself because she hates the kibble. I started just giving her rice and chicken but I realized she needs all her nutrients. What multi vitamins do u recommend? And supplements?
Thanks
@@Cmorales618 2 ½ cups. Maybe alittle more
I gave her this recipe last night and this morning for breakfast and i was almost in tears! She was so happy eating her new food! Thanks for replying I wasn’t sure how much I should be feeding her.
@@Cmorales618 Yeah it makes a big difference you don't want to give your animal poison like kibble. My pit is 70 pounds and I give him 2 and a 1/2 cups.. I've been doing it for probably 5 years
My min pin peanut just got out of the hospital for a bacterial infection in his belly. He was so so sick, critical condition. He’s on a bland diet for the next week so I made him a batch of white rice boiled chicken and scrambled egg. I’m planning on switching him and my beagle over to homemade food full time. In hopes of preventing anymore tummy problems. Love the video thank you for the info!
Thank you for the info me and my mom made our first batch of this today and our dogs seem to love it and one of them has the same problems as your dog with skin allergies and sensitive stomach so I can’t wait to see how it works
How are your babies doing with the food?
@@lynnwilhoite6194They love it and it helps our dog with the allergies not itch so much it’s helped her sensitive stomach they demand it at meal times!!! 😂💕💕💕
@@letstalk1646 I had to put my dog down 3 years ago and am now planning to get another pup. I think I’m going the homemade food route this time.
@@lynnwilhoite6194 It’s definitely in the best way to go when doing dog food
My dog just recovered after being for 1week in a hospital after a neighbour threw food over the fence that my dog Bella ate and had an allergic reaction. The vet told me that after this I should feed her homemade food and this helped me a lot. Thanks
You are too cute! Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
I feed my kittens very similar thing. They got bad diarrhea when they were fed kibbles. I was in the same situation where I had to homemake their food, boom, all problems gone. My kittens got shiny coats, good breath, good smell, more energy and less bloated, less regular feeding. Even their poop smells better.
Hi Lexy, I got out my note pad and took notes, remarks and ideas (literally) like a good girl lol.
Here’s what I thought :
*I wanna express my gratitude to you for sharing such crucial, amazing information; I know how challenging it can be trying to figure out how/ what to cook for our fur babies, most information online is not pertinent.
* as a suggestion: try ( specially for international viewers) to measure the ingredients, instead of using CUPS as a measuring unit. Grams/ Oz are more accurate (imho) i.e. if the pieces are too big the cup is goona have less weight as opposed to very small pieces and thus the weight isn’t gonna be the same ( I guess ) I’m just guessing cause I’m not American and don’t really know how to use a cup as a measurement unit. If you do Oz we can all convert it to whatever unit we use.
* Your hands and manicure are esthetically pleasing 🥰
* Your ( maybe engagement?) ring is gorgeous 😊
Thank you again/ I liked and subscribed to support you 💜
One cup is equal to 8 ounces
You can always Google measurement conversions
I have a 9 pound yorkie. I have made both of your recipes in the instant pot. This is a game changer for him he looooves it! He’s a picky eater and will walk away if he doesn’t like it. I also got the supplement you suggested and put it in his food before he eats. Thank you so much!
I have a seven-year-old German Shepherd who has food allergies. I've tried several different types and brands of dog food both dry and wet. I can't find anything that doesn't have the starches that she is allergic to. I want to start making her food and see if that helps. How much of this would you feed a large breed dog? Can chicken be substituted for Turkey? Also, I read through a lot of the comments. I'm so, so happy to see so many people who love their pets so very much.
Veils I have a German shepherd too. She is great with science hill ( the one ha s s German and pic in front). She is almost 10. Just try. But I think I am going to cook her food now. The economy is bad.
Well I have just made some for my Yorkie of 10 years and he was going off his old food and I was tearing my hair out trying to get him to have something different and nutritious.. It's a huge success he loves it and I even tried some minus the vitimins and it was very tasty. No added stock needed. No salt. No wonder he gobbled it up. Used a little at first with his usual food and woofed that down. Now slowly changing it over. Trouble is now he is full of mischief but that is not a complaint! Thanks so much.
Thank you! I have been cooking for my pups for years after two huge scares with commercial dog foods. I am always looking to tweak and perfect their diet. I cook everything individually, and mixture when they get ready to eat. I love your recipes and list of supplements. A canine nutritionist is a great idea. First time on your channel. Liked and subscribed.
I just brought a Lab puppy home, 2 months now. She has only been on 2 dog foods, the one the breeder started her on and the one I changed her to (Blue Buffalo puppy) and she can't stop scratching and chewing on herself, her skin is flaking....I was online doing research as to what I could change her to and I find YOU! My last dog got cáncer and I know it was from the food, I have always wanted to use an all natural food, that's why I chose Blue.... but now, I'm doing it whole heartedly! Thank you for sharing the links, you made my life a ton easier. I'll give updates...
Looks delish! I make all my dog's food too... I'll try this recipe. You might want to consider adding liver/heart etc in addition to the meat. I also add powdered egg shell for calcium.
blessings,for you and your baby’s,we need people like you,Ifeeling so good,because this babys are human they feeling,they crying they are sweet,good bless you.We need stop abuse animal 😘🐶🐶
I don't have a dog but I'm certainly keeping this in mind. I heard a lot of horror stories about the shady things they put in pet food
Yes it is very very sad which is why I’ll never feed my fur babies kibble again.
Great video! Your dogs are supper cute. Couple of other ingredients you might want to try (vet approved) are Zucchini, Broccoli, Eggs, olive oil, and apple sauce. I use all of your ingredients plus the ones I listed here. My dogs love it, and their health is great for two 12 year old dogs. Also I bought a case of BPA free plastic containers, and I divide a huge stock pot into 30 of these containers (each container has a one day supply), and freeze them so I only have to do this once a month. I just pull one out of the freezer each night and put in the fridge to replace the thawed one I am using that day.
Great idea. I would love to see your big batch recipe!
GREAT video... I'm in the process of switching my 2 pits over to homemade dog food... Love this recipe!!!!
My girl loves this recipe, made it for the first time tonight. She loves it!!! I've been ordering fresh cooked food, delivered frozen but this saves me a fortune. Thankyou for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for your specific formula, and why you use different ingredients and supplements.
Glad it was helpful!
A while ago I bombarded you with questions and you were kind enough to answer all of them but I never thanked you so THANK YOU. I have added some other veggies and my does love the food so much they stand there waiting. When I used to feed them canned dog food and kibble they would smell it and walk away. They ate it because they had to. My one dog did vomit a lot and my other dog had a lot of stomach issues. They have both improved tremendously. Unfortunately my one dog is overweight so I’m feeding him just a little more then 1/2 cup a day but they eat the food so fast and lick the bowls for 5 minutes after they’re done eating I’m afraid they’re not getting enough food. I’m just so glad they’re finally eating their food. Thank you again for the recipe and great video. I’m glad you used the instant pot. I like using it to make their food.
This was so enjoyable to watch. You're such an awesome doggie mom! I wish there were more people out there that loved them so much. I'm just starting to home cook for mine. :)
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so so much for this! This is amazing! My 17 yr old dachshund has become increasingly picky, he always has been but lately he started rejecting all his food while still looking hungry and scavenging for crumbs around the floor. He's always been thin and can't afford to lose weight, plus we lost his sister 2 months ago and I cannot bear the thought of losing him soon too. So I made the decision to switch him to fresh food as opposed to his kibble mixed with canned food and decided to try Farmer's Dog food delivery. He absolutely loved it, that's all he wanted, "people like food". The problem is, those fresh food companies are too expensive for us. I thought wait a minute, I can make my own. Seems simple enough just meat and veggies. So glad to have found your video, this is extremely helpful and as this week I'll run out of FM I will start making it myself. I have an instant pot and just received the meat smasher. Thank you!
UPDATE: food was a hit! But when I started mixing some chicken or turkey Farmer’s Dog we still have left he’d reject it. So I have a beef snob and that’s what we’re sticking too. Freezer safe ziplocs work great for storage. I have a second batch in the instant pot as I type this! 🙌
Part 3 is now live!! I share yet another homemade dog food recipe! I have to say this one is my dogs FAVORITE recipe 💗💗
ruclips.net/video/I8LsAjUK9vo/видео.html
How long does a batch of this last
So this recipe is for puppies and adults or just a certain age??
Hey I made this for my puppy except I couldn't find the pumpkin so I made it without that she loved it but she also threw up any recommendations?
Is the coconut oil optional
@@godsservant2923 get a slow bowl!! Your dog is eating too fast if they throw up.
I just tried this recipe for my incredibly picky toy poodle. SHE LOVED IT! Thank you so so so much for this!
About how many servings did you get from this? Thanks 😊
Thank you for the video and info. I was contemplating getting them back on their original high quality kibble but it's $45 for 24lbs and doesn't last like it used. Mine like their food wet anyway, so I've been researching for months for homemade diet and the raw diet. Especially, during the pandemic they're Bison flavored kibble is being bought up, and my 1yo is a very picky eater.
So glad you found this video helpful!
For most dogs for the long term this recipe may have too much vitamin A and can eventually lead to liver toxicity. The Vitamin A is high in the sweet potatoes, carrots, and pumpkin (but this is a great recipe for a dog prone to diarrhea/vomiting shortish term but may need to be adjusted later down the road). You clearly are a great doggie Mom and know what is best for your pup but it may not be the best for every pup. I 100% admire you for making your own doggy food. It just takes so much research! Thank you for inspiring others to feed their dogs healthier food vs. the conventional unhealthy food, they will feel better and live so much longer. ( btw- Whole egg with shells crushed is a great way to add calcium/grounded bone meal).
My dog has been refusing to eat his dry and use to vomit but as soon as I made this he attacked his food bowl 😂 so now he gets home cooked meals.
Sounds just like Bentley when he was on kibble.
My poor girl is 6 and has developed severe gastrointestinal issues. I’m going to start making her food. This recipe looks great, thanks so much for sharing! 🐶 ❤️
Best video I've seen on homemade dog food. Fun training tip: Your dog hears you the first time. I've been binge watching @RachelFusaro's videos and she says to say the command one time and then wait until it' been acted on. Been working wonders with my 12-week old pup.
I’m a new dog mom and My dog is super pickey I made this recipe last night and She loves it! No more paying almost $15 everyday for dog food! Thank you ❤️
I am going to try this.
Thanks for Sharing.
You can put an egg In for calcium with the shell.
I did not notice any difference with my dogs coat with the coconut oil but I tried olive oil and it had helped! I also just get pure balance all natural ingredients with no additives or dyes/colors but I add meat once in awhile with vitamins to it.
I have no thought of making my own dog food but here I am 😂
Facts😂
Thanks for the recipe. Add coconut oil after you cook because it's sensitive to high temperature.
Bentley's looking at his mom like," gimme, gimme, gimme!" Lol
Instead of using a masher, try putting the mixture into a cuisinart mixer with the paddle and running it. It does a great job of pulling stewed pork or beef and would surely work well for this.
I'm going to make this... for my dog and me😂 probably gonna go with a bit of seasoning and chicken broth for mine, but that's an awesome looking recipe!😁♥️
Hope you enjoy!
@@LoveLexyNicole I did! And so does my good boy♥️ thanks for the video!
Love how your dogs behave. Please do a video on how you trained your dogs. Or point us to where you learned crom.
What is their serving size and do you feed twice or only once? Thank you.
I would like to know this too.
Check out part 2 for all that information :)
