My dog eats only human food (not inclueding things that are bad for dogs) dinner leftovers and boiled chicken meat (with guts and vegetables) I have never fed her pet food (when I tried once she looked at me with dissappointment and didn't touch it). She is fit, and healthy, 15 years old and still kicking strong, my vetenarian is always impressed by her shape and he knows her since she was a puppy so he knows how old she is. But then again, she is a mongrel from Polish countryside so she is no delicate flower haha. :D Also she is a medium size dog so she is lucky for not having any heart or bone problems, or any genetic deseases or disorders like so many pure breeds or just less lucky doggs in general. I still love her very much and hope that she still has many years to live. :D
I have one but I thought that would make them eat way too fast? So I ended up using it for water.... is it really a better choice as food bowl for frenchie?
Hi,sorry to hear about your Maple’s stomach issues..one small suggestion..whenever you boil his meat n veggies please add turmeric powder it’s very good antibiotic and helps to build immunity..I just got a frenchie a week back n have a bull mastiff n Shepard too take care
How did you cook the meat?? Just in the pot with nothing added (oil etc). I want to start this diet with my frenchie but I’m confused how the meat should be cooked- boiled etc ;) thanks
Thank you for sharing this recipe and making this video. I made it and our puppy was not digesting the peas after a few batches I stopped adding them. We have added calf liver from the butcher that we cut up into cubes after we cook it. We don't add fillers and he eats 1 cup at 8AM and 1 Cup at 8PM. On the weekends we add 1 over easy egg on top. I make a smaller weekly batch. THANKS, no more tear stains or snoring for our frenchie with this recipe. For supplements we add the vitamins, omegas and probiotics oooo and a supplement to reduce allergies.
For thousands of years dogs ate real food real meat . Then in recent decades companies came up with kibble as convenience and a way to sell left over rotten meat. Pet food is under regulated. A lot of pets died during the pet food recall of 2014. At that time I was buying Wysong which was among the top quality pet foods w/Dr Wysong writing & giving away books with orders. They were so well trusted. I even got the Wysong shirt. Then the recall happened! I won’t go into it but suffice to say Wysong was not the without sin. The guy was rude, hypocritical, hid the recall gor awhile, unsympathetic to dogs that died after eating a toxic poisonous mold. Their are archives of forum posts by Dr Wysong flipping out on people! Better business bureau has painful stories about customers calling Wysong for advice on how to check for bag numbers and representatives telling customers not to worry about it unless after opening the food it looks bad. Poor lady who had her own health (heart surgery) problems went and fed the dog the food. Could have avoided that dog dying. The stress the women went through engraved in my memory. I no longer trust, or have faith in any kibble. If you never heard of Wysong, they were the company that came up with a kibble process that could hold the shape of kibble with needing tons of grain by using gelatin like used in capsule pills. Their’s recently been raw pet food recalls. If the meat is not for people, not regulated for human consumption, then I don’t feed it. I feed my ferrets a soup mix recipe consisting of real meat main food, and keep Blue Buffalo kibble in their bowl for eating outside of dinner times. .
it's scary the amount of recalls big kibble brands have, it is definitely under regulated. I'm so glad I now know what is going into my dog's belly now!
Wang Chung I just cook a chicken, debone it, and freeze it in 3 bags. Mince some chicken with some mashed veggies. My cat’s skin is great and her weight is back to normal. Glad to see other folks giving their pets real food.
Thank you for sharing this. I am looking into diets for my two dogs. One is a Frenchie and can have a sensitive digestive system. Looking online at my grocery store this food, in the amount you bought, would probably cost be about $60. I am wondering how long it took Mabel to go through the food you cooked in this video, as it might help be while I considered my budget. Thanks again for your videos!
Helo i lov lov lov your video! How does her poop look like with this recipe? If turkey better than chicken for frenchies? Pls advise. I am having a lot of not so good poop experience with my 2 frenchies. They are eating farmers dog food with kibbles.
Hi! I loved your recipe, it's healthy and high-quality! But expensive for some...... Can I share this lovely video On my Website😃!!!! Because I already did😅! If I'm not allowed, I will sadly delete it😢! Thank you!
Hi Laura! I love your channel and Mable is just adorable! I absolutely love this recipe. My question is..My Frenchie is 8 weeks old and a bit on the small side but I wouldn’t say he’s underweight, if that makes any sense. Because Titan (my Frenchie’s name, lol) and I would want to add more fat to his meals, can you please help me with a recipe for my baby?? Thanks!!
Canines eat raw meat. Dogs systems are not human. Raw food is very healthy. Organ meat, raw eggs. Always ask your Vet! Of course they will still love some healthy store bought treats & their fresh carrots or fruit. Thank You So Much For teaching me about Frenchies. Your info is loving It's GOLD!
I have a new French bulldog and this is my first dog ever. How do you know if the dog has stomach problems . Is there signs please help. I have stomach problems too very bad acid reflux. But I take Apple cider vinegar and helps out 90% of my problems. If anyone know would love the help I don’t want my dog in pain thanks. Sorry for the spelling Errors I have dyslexia thanks again ❤️💯
do inform yourself abouth the vitamins and minerals that are eccential for a dog you can not just give your dog some meat and veggies they need a good balance in calcium/phosphorus if you dont give them that (what real dogfood calculates and mutch more) your dogs body will start stripping calcium from its bones until your dog can just break its bones look it up all meatsyndrome most people do not know what it takes to make your own dogfood a wolf would eat everything its prey eats and not just the meat so liver, guts, bones everything and all those elements are essential to his health
Hi Laura !! I am so excited to share with you that this recipe was a total success for my little frenchie. Jax has had tummy issues since we brought him home and just didn’t feel right to keep trying kibble when there are much healthier and holistic options. I love this recipe because its good enough for us to eat !! He’s my best friend so I’ve gotta feed him like so!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. A healthy frenchie is a happy frenchie ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Did any of the Frenchie owners consult a vet nutritionist? What about leafy greens and other cruciferous vegetables, fresh fruit like berries? Pumpkin is always recommended when dogs have gastro issues. My fur baby also gets sardines or anchovy oil for Omega 3s, kelp for his iodine, and bone meal powder (has an ideal ratio of calcium : phosphorous), as well as some organ meats. In general, though, fresh food is better than food that doesn't perish for years, whether for humans or fur babies, imo. What are the large, crunchy treats that you give Mabel? Re Royal Canin, totally agree. Some veterinarian schools employ professors who are paid by Royal Canin to promote their products; however, they do not disclose this fact to their students. The pet food is often being recalled.
Instant Pots are the way to go girlfriend but cook pressure on low to lessen the temperature. Also, if you want to be educated by someone who is an expert on this search Dr Judy Morgan, she is an animal advocate and educator holistic vet to die for she is, in my opinion, the best holistic vet in the world. She just put out a new book also. I highly highly recommend you look into her expert knowledge!
dogs are not supposed to eat that huge amouth of vegetables, and especally not starchy vegs like potatoes. what even is a filler? beans, wheat, things that go through the dog's body not giving him ANYGHING? what's the point of giving it to the dog then? just buy lots of different kinds of meat, organ meats like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, spleen, add one egg on top and you're good to go. a dog is not a baby, it doesn't need 20 different vegs and fruits...
Laura pls Help! My 3month old frenchie is vomiting everyother day! Is that a sign of pancreatitis? Shes been to the vet they say its gastritis..they gave her meds it worked for a while, Im thinking of ditching the kibble and feeding her real food. Maybe she cant stand the kibble? She ate Royal Canin from the start.
I'm a new owner, been feeding Saint Lucas Purina One, he's 3 years old , no ailments but wanted to start making his food, this was eye opener but I thought you were supposed to feed them butternut squash and pumpkin
Hi. Did u run ur Frenchie diet regiman by her vet before feeding it to her? Cause I see a few gassy type of veg food in the dish like beans, broccoli and other starchy kinda food like peas and mashed potatoes. Bulldogs hav a propensity to become gassy from what food they eat.
You don’t need to cook the turkey. Your dog can eat it raw. You should also add raw meaty bones to her diet. If you’re going to feed raw you also need organ meat. There’s too many vegetables in the food. I would take out the peas, potatoes (both of these are just filler and can cause heart problems in dogs), and the cauliflower. I would also add more meat. Raw eggs are great for dogs. This food is much better than the Royal Canin, but there’s still too much veggies in it. Her diet should be mostly meat.
I really have hard time to follow your video because of your short clip transition or whatever it called. It gets confused with closed captioning and it doesn’t match the align up. Not mean to be rude or anything. Just a friendly tip which I noticed with your video. I’m trying to learn more about Frenchie.
I feel like this video came just in time! We got our french bulldog in November and he had stomach issues (hacking/dry heaving) 2 weeks after we had him! I stopped any treats we had been giving him and wondered if it was his food from the breeder (Fromm family puppy chiot). I asked the vet and she said to switch him gradually to Purina Pro Plan. Then my sister told me this is TERRIBLE for dogs especially frenchies. I couldn’t believe my vet had recommended this to me! I then had to switch to Blue Buffalo brand(chicken and brown rice puppy formula). He literally used the bathroom every two hours in the middle of the night which I concluded this formula had way too much protein for him. I just made this recipe that you posted for our little Pablo and he loves it. Fingers crossed he keeps it down as he eats so fast! 🙄 he’s definitely not a picky eater and eats anything he can get his mouth on!!! Thank you again for this post 💙
I'm so glad this was helpful!! I'm shocked your vet would recommend Purina, seems like such a basic brand haha. Also you mentioned dry heaving- could that possibly be a reverse sneeze? Mabel reverse sneezes and it's a normal thing that lots of breeds do, you could look up a video of what it sounds like! So in case the heaving continues maybe it's just reverse sneezing. And I hope this recipe works out for him!! :) You could join the Fab Frenchies facebook group too, whenever I have a question I can make a post and a ton of experienced owners help me!
Don't feed Blue Buffalo. The lawsuit with Purina they actually had by-product meal despite them saying it doesn't. Purina also got sold to General mills you can now find it in the store. I personally don't have a french bulldog I have a husky but she has a very sensitive digestive system. I recommend for allergies and sensitive stomachs Zignature. To figure out the problem I give a very bland diet of boiled chicken and rice, and then start incorporating dry food. This recipe was amazing! I'm going to cook it for my dogs birthday
my little doggy had pancreatitis just before christmas which caused it's own complication and caused hemorrhagic gastroenteritis which nearly killed her. Pancreatitis sucks lol and just like you, the only thing we ever fed our dog that wasn't her dog food was the occasional fruit and veg and super duper occasional little piece of cheese.
OMG, that looks sooooo good. I might even eat it my self. Thank you so much for the video. My family just became 1st time dog owners. we got a French bulldog too, his name is Sosa, he is 14 weeks old & we adore him. we are using the same kibble and I was looking at food alternatives. Thank you for the video.
Cooking the meat gets rid of the necessary amino acids dogs need. also, fillers are unnecessary and the processed potatoes are carbs which only work to lower the pH of a dogs stomach would make it harder for them to digest certain foods. there should be a bone aspect as well as phosphorus and other aspects. You'd be doing a whole lot better if you didn't cook the meat, for one.
My doggie can only have chicken and he won’t even eat any dog foods anymore downst even like raw foods now, kinda lost on what to do with my dog so here I am. He can’t have milk either :( and I think potatoes are no go for him to
I have a 11 month old miniature French bulldog she has had diearea and came across this i think this is a good diet I have also read no diary she will hate this seeing she loves ice cream please let me know thanks
oh my goodness she loves it!!!! ugh i love her she is so cute. my shih tzu used to eat home cooked meals like this (he has crazy allergies) but now is on a kangaroo diet because the lean meat was starting to bother him! he also keeps getting pickier as he gets older and won’t touch a vegetable lol
So glad I found this! I am switching my frenchie from kibble to home cooked meals. I've been putting it off because I was unsure how to properly portion so he get enough nutrients. This seems easy enough. Are you still following this meal plan currently or have you adjusted her meals at all?
My Martha has quite a few food allergies and I tried this recipe and it worked!!! I didn’t give her the yoghurt because she gets a rash from dairy but with this meal she is happier and her tummy issues are improving!!! Thanks!!
My 11yo Frenchie just passed in August of 2017. RIP Lilly! Anyway, I can attest to a diet like this. I started feeding her a meal very similar to this, without any guidelines such as this (I got her in 2006). I really just used common sense as to what she needed. Their dietary needs really are pretty similar to our own. Lilly's skin, coat and overall health was very lack luster when she was younger and a very expensive breeder recommended kibble (Royal Canine). After years of terrible skin allergy and worrying myself sick about her..... I started her on beef, chicken (rotated), brown rice, yams, carrots and peas. Sometimes a little yogurt (but it gave her terrible gas lol). Not only did she actually start getting excited at mealtime, but her allergies almost completely went away, her coat was shiny and soft and her overall health and energy level improved 10 fold. Mable is adorable and so lucky to have a mom like you! Thank you for being a responsible Frenchie owner. They are pretty high maintenance, but they are completely worth it!
I have a black female French bull dog. Her name is Mimi. I have noticed her drinking allot of water She throws up bile allot too We take her to the vet,and they gave her some meds. I'm going to fix this food for her. Your dog is adorable. There is nothing like owning a Frenchie.😊
👍 for taking time cooking your dog’s food. I really admire people who takes good care of their pets as it is a great responsibility to have one and sad to say I’ve been seeing a lot of maltreated pets these days. Just a question, you think it’s also possible to give her rice sometimes than mashed 🥔? Also, if it’s mashed potatoes is it possible to use fresh potatoes?
So grateful for this vid. I'll be getting my own frenchie soon and i really dont trust dog food vets suggest. Its all about the money and not about our fur babies! Just doing a bit of research on the different meals i can potentially prepare for my baby. Thank You!
hi! I would recommend looking at how much dry food your puppy would require based on its weight (you can look this up online) and then for this fresh recipe, take that number of cups and multiply it by 1.5 to 2. Dry kibble expands in the belly and this fresh food does not, so a dog can eat more of the fresh food. Also puppies eat more than fully grown dogs so don't be surprised if it's a pretty big amount! :)
Hi Laura! I don’t know if you will see this but I wanted to know how Mabel has been doing with this diet since the beginning! I will be a new Frenchie owner at the end of December and I want to make the best decisions for my dog. How did your vet react to the diet when you told them? I hope you see this post! I love all your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Cody Henriksen we’re on the same boat!! 😊 Hope she sees this. I also was wondering what the vet would say about this diet. Seems so healthy though and I would much rather do this for my soon to be pup.
OMG! Thank you! You are awesome! I've got two frenchies mom and daughter that I adopted and I've been looking for someone that had a good recipe cause I don't like giving them dry Puppy food. So thank you thank you thank you!
Cook the vegetables they are much easier to digest for you or your dog 170F cooking is what 'raw' coking calls for. Uncooked vegetables go bad quickly at room temperature and don't last long when cut up like those packaged mixed vegies in the fridge (not frozen). Slow cookers cook at ~170F as does sous vide. Even Crudités vegies should be blanched before serving.
Hey Laura! How is Mable doing on this diet? Are you still feeding her the same recipe? My frenchie is having a really hard time with any kind of dog food recently (10mons olds). Very upset stomach even after switching her to Royal Canin gastro. She’s also not wanting to eat her dog food, no matter the brand or “mix/recipe”. She’s constantly going after my pitties food which is 4Health (tractor supply brand) and I just don’t understand it. I’m hoping this recipe will be exactly what she needs! Please feel free to give me any info/advice about this type of diet. Evie (my frenchie) and I would greatly appreciate it! P.S. we both love watching your and Mables videos 😍.
Yo this dog eats better than me!!
haha!!
The dog eats better than most African kids.
Comparing myself to a dog
😆😆😆
Did that multivitamin has any probiotic? Why did you choose turkey? I usually do lamb but that's probably gonna so rear to find and mega expensive.
I wish somebody loved me as much as you love your dog.
My dog eats only human food (not inclueding things that are bad for dogs) dinner leftovers and boiled chicken meat (with guts and vegetables) I have never fed her pet food (when I tried once she looked at me with dissappointment and didn't touch it). She is fit, and healthy, 15 years old and still kicking strong, my vetenarian is always impressed by her shape and he knows her since she was a puppy so he knows how old she is.
But then again, she is a mongrel from Polish countryside so she is no delicate flower haha. :D
Also she is a medium size dog so she is lucky for not having any heart or bone problems, or any genetic deseases or disorders like so many pure breeds or just less lucky doggs in general.
I still love her very much and hope that she still has many years to live. :D
Have you seen the tilted dog bowls for flat faced dogs like Frenchies? It helps them reduce the amount of air they gulp when eating.
I just saw those for the first time yesterday! might have to try one out with Mabel!
I have one but I thought that would make them eat way too fast? So I ended up using it for water.... is it really a better choice as food bowl for frenchie?
Can you Send me a link! I noticed this problem with my dog when eating. He struggles because of the bowl poor fella
Hi,sorry to hear about your Maple’s stomach issues..one small suggestion..whenever you boil his meat n veggies please add turmeric powder it’s very good antibiotic and helps to build immunity..I just got a frenchie a week back n have a bull mastiff n Shepard too take care

How many servings did this recipe make in total (@1.5 cups a serving)? Just trying to figure out how often I would have to make this for my frenchie.
Did you ever get the answer?

Can you give me a good recipe for us for my puppy. I'm going to cook his food as well
Did Mabel have a bout of gas after? Those beans!
No BEANS!!..LAWD MY FRENCHIE passes gas ALOT!!
Did u warm it back up before you fed her?
I was giving my dog that exact diet and amount and she ended up getting fat, so right now I’m only giving her 1/2 the amount.
Her food’s price is probably the same as mine😂
Thank you for sharing this. I am looking into diets for my two dogs. One is a Frenchie and can have a sensitive digestive system.

A low fat no grain food is American Journey recommend it my French bulldog eats it.❤️
Helo i lov lov lov your video! How does her poop look like with this recipe? If turkey better than chicken for frenchies? Pls advise. I am having a lot of not so good poop experience with my 2 frenchies. They are eating farmers dog food with kibbles.

I think the reason poultry may cause allergies is because poultry is feed corn plus many other grains so what a chicken eats is in its meat.
Hi thanks for the videos at what age did you start the raw diet?
I would like to know the answer to this question as well.
Canines eat raw meat. Dogs systems are not human. Raw food is very healthy. Organ meat, raw eggs. Always ask your Vet! Of course they will still love some healthy store bought treats & their fresh carrots or fruit. Thank You So Much For teaching me about Frenchies. Your info is loving It's GOLD!

Roughly how long would this last? And how much roughly does it cost? ( I know there’s inflation these days lol)
Cooking the meat gets rid of the necessary amino acids dogs need. also, fillers are unnecessary and the processed potatoes are carbs which only work to lower the pH of a dogs stomach would make it harder for them to digest certain foods. there should be a bone aspect as well as phosphorus and other aspects. You'd be doing a whole lot better if you didn't cook the meat, for one.
Do you put the entire bag in the fridge or freezer? Or do you keep some in fridge and the rest in freezer? Great video btw!!!!
You should try The Honest Kitchen dog food. I used this on a foster boxer and it worked great
how many servings did you get from such a big batch? do you add supplements when you serve or to the batch?
I a feed a food called Victor's I feed To both my French bulldogs and they're doing great on it
raw food diet. that all you need, not packets, not cans, not cooked. only use raw food diet if you care about your dogs health and longevity
I have a 6 month old Frenchie and just wondering when is a good time to completely switch over to a similar diet?
What times do you feed mable & what are her walks?? 1yr old Frenchie
My doggie can only have chicken and he won’t even eat any dog foods anymore downst even like raw foods now, kinda lost on what to do with my dog so here I am. He can’t have milk either :( and I think potatoes are no go for him to
That Dog eats better than me. Fml
How does her stool looks after this diet? Normally when changing foods it takes a minute for the body to adjust to it.
ruclips.net/video/B884_SKRpLc/видео.html another recipe for your frenchie food!
I have a 11 month old miniature French bulldog she has had diearea and came across this i think this is a good diet
I have also read no diary she will hate this seeing she loves ice cream please let me know thanks
oh my goodness she loves it!!!! ugh i love her she is so cute. my shih tzu used to eat home cooked meals like this (he has crazy allergies) but now is on a kangaroo diet because the lean meat was starting to bother him! he also keeps getting pickier as he gets older and won’t touch a vegetable lol
So glad I found this! I am switching my frenchie from kibble to home cooked meals. I've been putting it off because I was unsure how to properly portion so he get enough nutrients. This seems easy enough. Are you still following this meal plan currently or have you adjusted her meals at all?
Your French bulldog looks the same as mine accept for a small white mark on the nose .
Doesn't have grain? Don't like it.
I hope all that food is organic cuz if not you're feeding your dog GMOs
currently on the fence about getting a frenchie here in vietnam!
Sam P did you end up getting one? 😊
I love your videos so much I live vicariously through your cute dog omg
My Martha has quite a few food allergies and I tried this recipe and it worked!!! I didn’t give her the yoghurt because she gets a rash from dairy but with this meal she is happier and her tummy issues are improving!!! Thanks!!
Caolionn MacDougall that’s awesome, thanks for telling me! Mabel’s allergies and tummy have improved so much since I started her in this recipe too!
I would love to try this recipe with my pup, however he has so many food allergies, the only source of protein he is not allergic to is duck!!!
I’m getting my pied Frenchie today I’m so excited 😆 and let me tell you that your video have help me a lot
Good for you getting her off commercial toxic so called food!
You and your dog have such a good relationship it’s so cute
Hey, do you have the original formula of the recipe
I was told no Broc or cauliflower cuz it's too gassy
How would I adjust this recipe for a puppy?
My 11yo Frenchie just passed in August of 2017. RIP Lilly! Anyway, I can attest to a diet like this. I started feeding her a meal very similar to this, without any guidelines such as this (I got her in 2006). I really just used common sense as to what she needed. Their dietary needs really are pretty similar to our own. Lilly's skin, coat and overall health was very lack luster when she was younger and a very expensive breeder recommended kibble (Royal Canine). After years of terrible skin allergy and worrying myself sick about her..... I started her on beef, chicken (rotated), brown rice, yams, carrots and peas. Sometimes a little yogurt (but it gave her terrible gas lol). Not only did she actually start getting excited at mealtime, but her allergies almost completely went away, her coat was shiny and soft and her overall health and energy level improved 10 fold. Mable is adorable and so lucky to have a mom like you! Thank you for being a responsible Frenchie owner. They are pretty high maintenance, but they are completely worth it!
DiscoDan that’s amazing to hear. your Lilly had a long happy life 💕 and thank you!
Thank you! I was looking for this : )
I have a black female French bull dog. Her name is Mimi. I have noticed her drinking allot of water
She throws up bile allot too
We take her to the vet,and they gave her some meds. I'm going to fix this food for her. Your dog is adorable. There is nothing like owning a Frenchie.😊
elizabeth gallimore were you able to make the dog food? What changes did you notice?
i first thought „how to cook your frenchie“ LOL
My Frenchie got allergies so I can’t give him turkey or chicken the only thing I give him is dry rice and lamb twice a day and his still hungry 😋
Dry rice? My FB has allergies as well and I'm looking for a solution
What about the mashed potatoes can you not freeze those?
Do you have the recipe attached somewhere??
👍 for taking time cooking your dog’s food. I really admire people who takes good care of their pets as it is a great responsibility to have one and sad to say I’ve been seeing a lot of maltreated pets these days.
Just a question, you think it’s also possible to give her rice sometimes than mashed 🥔? Also, if it’s mashed potatoes is it possible to use fresh potatoes?
thank you! yes, rice could be used instead, or fresh potatoes, or sweet potatoes.
How much food was this? Like for a month?
So grateful for this vid. I'll be getting my own frenchie soon and i really dont trust dog food vets suggest. Its all about the money and not about our fur babies! Just doing a bit of research on the different meals i can potentially prepare for my baby. Thank You!
exactly! thanks for watching, glad it was helpful! :)
Wow, I had the same thing. Lol. That's crazy.
Beware way too much sodium for dogs
We use ground bison...way better
I THOUGHT IT SAID HOW TO COOK UR FRENCHIE
I feed my dog some KFC and McDonalds and Domino’s pizza most of the time.. I actually order for two and don’t just give him my leftovers..
Shouldn’t dog eat dry food for their theeth?
Hello! Just wondering if you could tell me how much to give to a three-month-old puppy?
hi! I would recommend looking at how much dry food your puppy would require based on its weight (you can look this up online) and then for this fresh recipe, take that number of cups and multiply it by 1.5 to 2. Dry kibble expands in the belly and this fresh food does not, so a dog can eat more of the fresh food. Also puppies eat more than fully grown dogs so don't be surprised if it's a pretty big amount! :)
Beans make them dart😂
Does the vegetables give her wind ?
Hi Laura! I don’t know if you will see this but I wanted to know how Mabel has been doing with this diet since the beginning! I will be a new Frenchie owner at the end of December and I want to make the best decisions for my dog. How did your vet react to the diet when you told them? I hope you see this post! I love all your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Cody Henriksen we’re on the same boat!! 😊 Hope she sees this. I also was wondering what the vet would say about this diet. Seems so healthy though and I would much rather do this for my soon to be pup.
I have the same question. That video was a year ago, do you still cook or Mabel?
Feeding a Frenchie beans? You have a deathwish... lol
Truly. This recipe is very bad. I wish she'd have done her own research. That facebook group did not provide the best ingredients
Royal canin is crap food
Definitely do homemade mashed potatoes instead of that processed stuff. And go organic. :)
What’s the total cost
how do you store it in the big pot?
Dogs can eat french fries
Love your videos with your dog just got a French ball dog he’s called Hugo and he’s 6 months old 100% going to try this for him thank you x
That dog eats better thsn me
She's so cute
OMG! Thank you! You are awesome! I've got two frenchies mom and daughter that I adopted and I've been looking for someone that had a good recipe cause I don't like giving them dry Puppy food. So thank you thank you thank you!
Cook the vegetables they are much easier to digest for you or your dog 170F cooking is what 'raw' coking calls for. Uncooked vegetables go bad quickly at room temperature and don't last long when cut up like those packaged mixed vegies in the fridge (not frozen). Slow cookers cook at ~170F as does sous vide. Even Crudités vegies should be blanched before serving.
Excellent video. I've learned alot as I too cook for my two frenchies. Thanks!
Hey Laura! How is Mable doing on this diet? Are you still feeding her the same recipe? My frenchie is having a really hard time with any kind of dog food recently (10mons olds). Very upset stomach even after switching her to Royal Canin gastro. She’s also not wanting to eat her dog food, no matter the brand or “mix/recipe”. She’s constantly going after my pitties food which is 4Health (tractor supply brand) and I just don’t understand it. I’m hoping this recipe will be exactly what she needs! Please feel free to give me any info/advice about this type of diet. Evie (my frenchie) and I would greatly appreciate it!
P.S. we both love watching your and Mables videos 😍.
