Great recipe! Have you tried adding the frozen peas and carrots + frozen green beans at the end after the eggs? I would think that there would be enough heat still in the pot to cook them. Seems like it would let you do it in 1 stage of 40 minutes instead of 2 stages.
We tried that and instant pot throws an error every time. The bottom would burn. Wasted a lot of time. Steaming the veg first in the basket eliminated the problem.
Question: Why are you cooking the food? Raw is best for the dogs (meat and veggies). I do say however, bravo, to you both for taking the time to prepare their food. Great idea to have the bowls in the large containers for that easy-to-keep-clean area in your kitchen.
We went raw for many years, it’s been hit and miss and inconsistent due to our poor raw ingredients we have in the US. No fun when they get sick which happened a lot when we went raw. Now no more issues!
@@funchow1 I agree. I use a freeze dried or frozen prepared raw as doing it myself caused issues. I wonder why? And what if you gently cooked shorter and then freeze dried; do you think it would get rid of the digestive issues?
@@WestVanMom it depends on the food and the dog’s needs. I cook the food lightly and give the juice from the veggies. Sometimes add raw fruit, canned salmon, canned pumpkin puree. I try to keep in mind things my dogs would eat if I let them, like horse poop, which has beet pulp in it. Predigested, as it were.
I like your recipe. We have never raised dogs, but our daughter got a sheep-o-poodle about a year ago. She is 5 years old and weighs 42 pounds. We all love her and recently I started cooking fresh food for her. She loved the food and since it was our first time, guess what happened !! She started panting excessively and then sprained her ankle. My daughter took her to the vet and found out she had gained 6 pounds. Probably we were feeding her too much, She would eat 14 ounces or more and still ask for more. Now she is back to a mixture of kibble and fresh food and is losing weight. I was using ground beef, liver and veggies and whole eggs. Also used hempseed oil, cod liver oil, kelp and sunflower seeds. If I use the same proportion of meat and veggies as you, how many ounces do you think we should feed our 42 pound dog ? I really liked your recipe and tried to follow it with proportions of veggies and meat, except I used fresh veggies. Any recommendations will be appreciated !!
Thank you! I appreciate you being so thorough in explaining your process of preparing your homemade dog food. From the size of your Instant Pot, amount you feed your dogs, the way you store the food, the estimated length of time it last down to even providing the links for the items. This has given me a basis for taking on the preparation for my dog. BTW, how much do your two large dogs weigh? Also, do you use different vegetables and grains, e.g. kale, spinach or Quinoa in place of the brown rice. ? Thank you again.
@@vsulyztmy German Shepherd is 65 and The Golden Retriever is about 80. But they are older at 10 and 8 and we feed them 24oz a day, 12oz each feeding morning g and evening.
Yes I’ve read about pepper too. Thanks for the reminder. Need to do a bit more research on that. We use pumpkin with no additives. Not sure about Pumpkin for pies.
@funchow1 Thank you. I remember the info said pumpkin puree ( which haven't been able to find in stores) rather than pumpkin pie filling. Enjoyed your video. I' very watched alot of homemade dog food videos, but yours I will try
@@JaniceRogers-pq2cmcanned pumpkin is easy to find in every store I have ever been to. Just check the ingredients. The only ingredient should be pumpkin.
Lots of benefits for dogs and human as well - helps with arthritis, digestive disorders, respiratory infections, allergies, liver disease, depression, and many others.
The Forever Dog: Turmeric: The medical literature exploring the efficacy of curcumin, the most active polyphenol in the Indian spice turmeric (pronounced “too”-meric), continues to explode, with thousands of published studies available today. The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, has been shown to help boost the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and improve cognition. A 2015 study showed its neuroprotective effects in dogs by targeting biochemical pathways associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including cognitive impairments, energy/fatigue, mood, and anxiety. Turmeric is truly a jack-of-all-trades; its uses could fill an entire reference manual. In 2020, for example, researchers at Texas A&M showed turmeric’s promise in decreasing ocular inflammation in dogs suffering from uveitis, an inflammation of the eye that leads to pain and reduced vision. We have both used this amazing root to manage inflammation from a variety of causes from head to tail; it’s among our most favorite add-ins. Ethnobotanist James Duke published a meta-study of over seven hundred turmeric studies and concluded: “Turmeric appears to outperform many pharmaceuticals in its effects against several chronic debilitating diseases, and does so with virtually no adverse side effects.” When turmeric is combined with rosemary, it has a synergistic effect on canine mammary carcinoma (breast cancer), mastocytoma, and osteosarcoma cell lines, and this combination had an additive effect with chemo-therapeutic agents.

Definitely making this for my five fur babies. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Thanks for watching Carol!

My recipe is similar. I alt my meats....gr turkey/ beef. I will try pork next. Yes def add black pepper to turmeric. They absorb it better ❤
Yes will try next
I like it! Thank you!
I'm glad you like it

It is the amount you feed them. For example, my 8 yr old Golden Retriever weighing 80 lbs eats 24 oz a day. Moderate exercise.

Thanks for watching. Yes we have experimented with various ingredients over the years. This one works best for us.
@@krakenrc thanks. Whats the weight of your two dogs. Trying to estimate the oz I would feed my 68lb.

This was great, thanks for sharing
Your Welcome!
In the wild, fogs LOVE peas and carrots!
They also love kibble and milkshakes in the wild!
You cooked the life out of the veggies. 40 min is wild.
But they kept the cooking liquid so any nutrients that leached out during cooking should still be there
20 minutes on a pressure cooker for vegetables? Why? Absolutely no reason for that.
three minutes tops.
Great video but what's the cost for all that food
I was wondering too
I've read you should add black pepper to the turmeric to get the best benefit. Also does it matter if you use pie pumpkin ot pumpkin puree? Thank you
Yes I’ve read about pepper too. Thanks for the reminder. Need to do a bit more research on that. We use pumpkin with no additives. Not sure about Pumpkin for pies.

@@VeteranCapybara Thank you
The freezer safe containers link is the same link as the steamer basket
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll fix it
FIXED!
Is there anything you can use instead of the liver??? It stinks up the kitchen so badly.
Sometimes we don’t use it. We give them supplements 😊
Put a higher raised bowl 4 big dogs, think about it, people don't want to hang their heads 2 eat...good recipe, thank u
That's not how they eat in the wild.
Definitely better than kibble but I won't be feeding my dogs peas, lentils or brown rice, thanks.
Peas are a good source of plant based protein
Do you warm the food or do they eat it cold?
They eat it their food cold from the fridge
I really heard pork was not good for dog or cat food. It can promotes constipation !
Over cooked vegetables 😢no vitamins
How many pounds are your smaller dogs?
12 and 18lbs
Everyone seems to add Tumeric. Is there a reason why?

🐶🐾😃🥰
Too much carbs and veggies overcooked
Great food but to much vegetables, remember dogs are carnivores not herbivores so 80% meat 20% vegetables and fruits should be fine
Dogs are not pure carnivores. 1/2 to 1/3 meat is ok.
They are omnivores like us
@fernboy3
Cats are obligate carnivores. Digs are omnivores like humans.
Ridiculous than God I was born in Pakistan
