I live with 5 dogs and all were unhealthy on kibble, fancy, organic etc... I feed them this type of diet now, all organic (no GMO) basically chicken and veggies, lentils, peas etc... and they are doing great. One had a cyst, it started shrinking!! One has eye problems and it cleared up (no more expensive meds). I rescued all of my dogs (Pugs/1terrier) and all came with issues. I can't say enough about cooking your own dog food as shown on this vid!! Please do. Kibble is like processed cereal. They all lost weight and are looking lean. For a older Pug, that's a miracle LOL!!

That's because vets/shelters who house rescued dogs usually feed them the cheapest kibble they can find because feeding so many animals is expensive. I adopted my dog from a veterinary practice and he ate alpo dry and alpo wet food mixed together before I adopted him. Most people that adopt animals aren't aware of how poor the diet, exercise, and sometimes living conditions a sheltered dog comes from.

Have you considered raw? Lentils of course should be cooked but meat and bones are much better for a dog when raw!

People need to shut up, this guy is just trying to help us make something good for the dogs. Thank you for the video i will try it :-)

TheHelpfuldad we feed our dog something like this, we do more of a meatloaf style, handful of spinache, broccoli, sweet potato chunk or two, half an apple, half a pear, handful of blueberries. mince it all. mix it in with 3 pounds turkeym, 3 pounds beef lean, 3 pounds chicken. 3 eggs and a tiny bit of olive oil. bake it 375 for 90 minutes. cut it into slices and ration it out, shes a 3 pound yorkie, she eats half a slice in the morning, half in the evening. works great. shes building good lean muscle mass.

I made this recipe for my girls Amber & Niobe a few days ago when I saw your video and my Beagle loved it! My chow/Healer mix picked over hers over the next few days and hardly ate any of it. Tonight I made it again with a few adjustments, no celery, but included all the other veggies in your recipe, an extra sweet potato, 1 apple and my chow mix Niobe loved it! They both love it now. Thank you so much!

The "God bless you" was complete nutrition for our souls and made me very happy. Thanks for caring to help us pet parents to feed our "kids" better - healthier. God bless and keep you too, kind sir.

TheHelpfuldad I dice things like carrot, celery, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and spinach. I cook the veggies al-dente. So they still have a little crunch to them so they don't lose all their vitamins. Then after they are cooked I process them. Then I add a little brown rice and my cooked minced meat. I also give them a doggie vitamins to make sure they are getting everything they need. I just need to cut back on how much I am feeding them. They are getting fat! lol They love it. Thanks for your video.

Thank you so much for this video.

These video's are actually helpful if you have a pet you love and want healthy. They have been finding bacteria and purposely placed harmful chemicals in certain brands of can and dry dog food! How do I know this, my dogs were vomiting everything they ate, can food and dry , so after consulting with our vet we decided to try making it ourselves . We have happier and healthier dogs. Some really good expensive brands, so in the end it was cheaper and better for their health. Maybe this isn't for everyone, but I'm happy that our dogs feel better. 😊💕

Thanks for the recipe, like that you substituted rice with different kinds of veggies. Also never tried giving my dogs different kinds of meats in one meal before Have larger dogs and will give this a go. Might add apples. Thanks again.

Thank you good sir. I now know what to give my dog 3-4 times a week

thanks my son loves it

Thanks for sharing this. Just found out today that my dog might be allergic to normal dog food. She has really torn up her hair, chewed on her legs bad, etc. We thought we had it under control, but it has just got worse day-by-day. So, we took her to vet today, because nothing seemed to help. He had said it was allergies related to summer, but now -- he says it is FOOD ALLERGIES because it is so bad. So, we feed her lots of chicken and no grains. So, it has to be chicken probably -- something she ate lots of. Thus, we're going to try making it ourselves now. Thanks for ideas.

I think I'll try this for my dog. I will however cook the meat for sure. She loves veggies.

Thank you!

Thank you for this recipe.

Love this video, thank you! I wonder if I can also use turkey?

I use to be at the vet very often, she got colitis and after $1,500 vet bill I decided to cook for her. This was 2 years ago. I am happy to say that we have not been back at the vet since and actually her food cost less than the cans. Thanks for the recipes.

definitely. for a bigger dog you have a make a larger batch or cook more often but it would be really good for her

best dog food video i seen so far, is celery ok for dogs, what about cabbage, , or rice, , is sweet potato good, nice video, so yyou use chicken and , lasbl, what about chicken and beef mix

good tips there, Mack Jack, thanks for sharing

Thumbs up. This is almost exactly, to the letter, what my vet (who is the best) told me would be the best recipe for my dogs. He did say was OK to include some WHOLE grain in small amounts. I'm talking Quinoa etc. - NOT white rice. or any other low-quality carb. He cautioned greatly against RAW meat in dog food - for the same reason it's not safe for 2-legged dogs.

Nice video , thank you very much

never any corn because I have read that grain is not the best for dogs however we sometimes supplement with BROWN rice. I suppose quinoa would also be a nice addition too.

regular potatoes are ok as long as they are cooked. When I make my dog food I add 1 small regular potato as well as a sweet potato. And I add an apple to the mix

Great video, The only concern I have is vitamins and minerals that dogs should have. Prepared food will only have so many and be lacking in essential nutrients. I have made my own dog food that also has sardines as an example of fish oil that is good for the heart among other things. I still wonder what my food is lacking. Thanks

I like this -- I might add a crushed boiled egg (with the shell) for calcium coverage.

Thank you, I wonder if this could be adapted for crock pot

I'm not saying they are bad, I use frozen sometimes myself, but I try to go with fresh and local whenever possible. And yes I believe blanching is required for all frozen vegetables, even if you were to freeze them at home yourself you would have to blanch them as you can't just throw any veggies in the freezer.

Those are very good points, I apologise for advocating my ignorance. Would the organic produce still require the blanching, or is that only required with the non organic produce?

Homemade DOG RECIEPE for that special pet we All LOVE

I wish you could post the shopping list for the recipe in your future posts in the description... I mean along with how much for 1 meal versus the whole reciepe. As I understand it, we wont feed the whole thing to the dog so how much of what is where I am confused

Look at it this way everyone. As long as you get your pets off grocery store rot gut food, and feed either raw or cooked, you are doing your pet a good service. There are certain meats I would never feed raw, like lamb, rabbit or pork. Some people do though, and as long as their pups are happy and healthy, go for it. Are you aware that some people are known to feed their dogs vegetarian? I wouldn't recommend it at all, and kind of feel they are pushing their own agenda onto their pets. I like to add some garlic to my pets stews, some scream at me for that. Yams and sweet potatoes and broccoli are good for dogs. Mine get squash and all kinds of stuff. I even give them bites of celery with peanut butter as a treat. Dogs don't need all their nutritional needs in one day or at each meal. We are all wanting to do better for our pets, so let's try to be encouraging and accepting that while none of are perfect in this endeavor we each are working toward a healthy goal.

We never had a problems with flees and they never needed flea medication. I do not understand why so many vets say garlic is not good for pets. Obviously depending on the size of dog, one should only give it in moderation. (I have a Dalmatian and Weimaraner)

I have a 35 lb. sheltie. How much should he get in a day? 2 cups? Not sure.

My dogs really love this recipe. They already have more energy and are shedding a lot less and have even lost a little weight. My question is, how much to give them. I've been giving them about a cup and a half each twice a day but they still behave like they are starving. Maybe it's because they love it so much. Is once a day going to be enough? I find that I'm making a big pot of the stew every 3 days. It's getting to be a bit expensive.

I'm going to try this for my bulldog hes about 1 and overweight I've cooked meals for him but want a good recipe I can stick with any help and tips would be appreciated

Hi.. can we make such healthy food and store it for one month?

I have a question...I've been watching a lot of videos and trying to find something that sounds like it makes sense...I think yours makes the most sense, except that some of the other ones highly suggested eggs (with the shells) because it's a high source of calcium...what do you think of adding eggs?

I cooke my own dog food with 5 types of vegetables and meat. Since I prefer to cook big pot I keep in the freezer in a small containers. Just before my dog ready to eat I blend dandelion leaves or roots, nettles and poor over her food and she loves it :) There is nothing more nutritious then wild plants.

truly easy. we make it twice a week every week and have done so for years. try it

did he use a broth? or did boiling bring out the juices?
