    I was cooking the food for my pack and left it on the stove to cool so I could pack it up. The husband comes in with a bowl and said “this is good”. I asked him what he was eating and he said the dinner on the stove. I told him the “dinner” was for the dogs. No worries, there was nothing we wouldn’t eat!!! Ha ha

    I just finished making this food for my almost 13 year old boxer/pit Buster. It was the first time I used my Instant Pot. My Buster recently starting having seizures & he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have always thought about making his food & then came across your video!! It was relatively easy to make once I got comfortable with the Instant Pot. I made 1 weeks worth. I gave Buster a scoop of it and he started it down!! He loved it! You might ask why bother if he has a brain tumor. Well I've had him since he was 9 weeks old. I'm going to spoil him for the rest of his days. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your video was informational as well as entertaining. Thank you

      Brain tumor, let's hit it with several foods, blueberries, blackberries, straw and raspberry, lions main mushrooms, ginger, Cruciferous Vegetables (broccoli example), fatty fish(salmon), walnuts, spinach, folate rich foods, Brussel sprouts, curcumin, carrots.
      Actually I just looked this up for you. Google.
      Here's a secrete one that kills cancer/tumors and gives stem cell repair= sea buckthorn berries(200mg/day). So make your meat a fatty fish, salmon is best. Add spinach, broccoli, blueberries for sure or mixed berries(antioxidant mix bag is great), ginger, turmeric & curcumin& black pepper for absorption (a must on pepper), olive oil(extra virgin must), lionsmain mushroom, carrots and what ever else.
      Blueberries & lionsmain will help repair the brain cells and memory, but blueberries will help kill tumors.
      The tumor can still be killed. She doesn't have a death sentence until you give up for her, your her only hope. Good luck and just Google'foods that kill tumors'. Cross reference Google foods safe for dogs( garlic would be good, but I guess they can't have that, idk.)
      Good luck to your dog and you. Study it out is all you can start with. Then once educated, apply the knowledge and live.
      Tart cherry is great for inflammation also. Plus all these food do the same for us

    Consider using bone broth instead of the water and the nutrients they’re worried about loosing actually are in that water, so use the water you cooked the meat and veggies in, it’s nutritious. You also might consider omega 3’s in the form of chia seed and or flax seed, salmon chunks or salmon oil. I also add collagen powder, that helps with the joint pain. Good job at spreading the good news about real food for our real pets.

    Quinoa instead of rice might be a nice change. Chia seeds and flax are great for dogs as well. I add all those plus a lil organic cold-pressed unrefined coconut oil. Everything else you added in your first recipe are what I give to my pup also. My dog doesn't care for blueberries unless they are frozen. It's a nice treat after a long walk. Yes, I make egg shell calcium, too. Oh, I also buy bone-in turkey or chicken. After I pick the chicken/turkey off the bone, I make a bone broth, skim the fat, then use that as the liquid for my recipe. . I also piece and squirt one capsule of fish oil on her morning breakfast and top it with a healthy supplement/probiotic powder. Also for a cooling, healthy treat after her daily walk, she gets frozen brocolli or green beans that have been previously steamed . A tiny ramekin of that cools her down quickly and she likes it way better than a boring piece of ice. You're doing a great job. Thank you for sharing.

    I have been feeding Raw for 20 years. I can tell you that this recipe was much better than your first one. I have my own chickens, so if my dogs get eggs and I grind up the shells for them. I feed Rob not cooked but cooked is fine too. My biggest suggestion would be to stop the rice. I see this because rice is inflammatory. So if your dog has arthritis or anything like that, the rice is not going to help at all, it will make it worse. Feed your dog, some raw meaty bones like chicken necks, chicken backs, or chicken feet. Or duck, nicks or turkey necks, etc. Of course don't cook these because bones need to be given Raw but that will provide a great deal of joint support for your dog.

    • @lionness24rules

    Hey if you're worried about heavy metals in rice here is a tip to drastically reduce their traces on rice. Its an age old technique asians and middle Eastern have been doing.... Wash your rice multiple times in a lot of water meaning not just water to cover the rice but like if you have 1 cup of rice use 4 cups of water. Rinse and repeat 5 or more times. BAM heavy metals reduced as they mainly sit on the surface of the rice grain

    I don't cook the meat,keeping it raw. Also, use oats instead of rice, as rice is a filler and high carb. You can add the occasional tined sardines or add omega 3 oils. More offal is a great higher protein supplement. I make my portions into meat loaf sizes. If you mix everything together, with added blue berries or grated carrots and zucchini and apple with the ground turkey meat. Form into meatloaf pans and cook. Cool down, and you can cut patties for your dog.

Love the demonstration- seeing how it’s done makes it easier on me.

Is why I was looking around & found you & 1 other person making it ( yours is best). Tell you wife we know he’s probably making a mess & maybe spending too much time on these videos- But We All appreciate you doing them for us who love our dogs & want better healthier foods.

    When we adopted a dog from the shelter he was throwing up every time he ate so i did a little research and started making his food until i found an option he could tolerate. I did chicken and brown rice with peas and carrots (it was what i had on hand at the time), and he loved it. I finally found a grain free kibble he could tolerate and now i make him pumpkin-cicles (canned pumpkin frozen by the tablespoon in my mini muffin tin) and "candy" (coconut oil with all natural p-nut oil) as treats. He'll be 7 years old in the spring and we've had the care of him for about 5 years now. The last vet appointment the doc said he's doing excellent, much healthier than on his first visit. I'm super careful about his diet because of all the trouble he had when we first brought him home, but I've found that he really loves strawberries, broccoli, and peas, among other things. This video was very informative and i watched the other one as well. Your dog is beautiful and obviously very happy to eat the nutritious good you make for her. I'm glad to have found your channel!😊

    You’re an amazing dog dad and it’s so great that you are sharing your recipe. If the white bucket is plastic, please consider maybe a large stainless steel pot or a large glass bowl as plastic is toxic especially when exposed to heat, it will leech chemicals and toxins into all of that great homemade dog food.

    I've made dog food in my instant pot a few times when one of my dogs was sick. On the grains, I used equal parts of brown rice and steel cut oats. I didn't add peas, but instead, green beans. I also added an egg, including the shell, frozen blueberries, and a cut up apple without the core. Some of the time, I used equal parts, ground turkey and beef. Instead of water, I use salt free bone broth. The rest of your ingredients were the same as what I used.

    Just watched and subscribed to your videos, and thanks for doing all the work in finding this recipe! Sable is a beautiful "sugar face". My Grady is also a 10-year old Lab and has a bit of trouble getting up and down - he's also 100 pounds. So...I was going to donate my Instant Pot - brand new, never used it. It intimidated me for a reason I can't justify, since I have an old pressure cooker and used it a lot for canning. Anyway, I've been feeding Grady various fresh cooked meats, veggies, and some fresh fruit for quite awhile, but LOVE your ideas so much more, since they're so much less labor intensive. I've been cooking meats and veggies individually - lots of work and time, although my Grady is worth every minute of my time. Makes so much sense to do it your way. My sweet boy is going to be fed like your precious Sable is from now on. Good luck with your move - I can't wait to see more of your dog food recipes! My Vet also agrees feeding more fresh food is best, and that we've been over-medicating our pets far too long, so Grady gets minimal vaccines and what my Vet gives her dogs. I trust her completely and Grady is a happy, healthy boy who's about to eat even healthier! Thank you so much.

    Great video man. I cook for my dogs as well. I have three so a lot of work. I use chicken breast I find on sale, turmeric, broccoli or cauliflower, spinach, rice, carrots, sweet potato., coconut oil. (Sweet potato must be cooked to be easily digested by the dogs. ) The dogs are also on a vitamin/mineral supplement. I use fresh vegetables and a food processor and when lazy get the shredded carrots and cauliflower at Trader Joes. Frozen, like you use is a good option as well. The dogs thrive on it. My larger dog had huge lipomas (Benign fatty tumors) all over. We got to calling him Lumpy. He is 12 years old and honestly he has had a 75% reduction in these fatty tumors. The vet was amazed., All dogs are so much more animated and active since I have started this over a year ago. It has been a fountain of youth for my oldest boy who has survived malignant melanoma for two years.. I couldn't bet happier. It makes be distrust the kibble and other pre-packaged dog food I had been giving my dogs. I wish I had started earlier,. I actually use all human food grade product so I taste it myself and it is honestly great tasting. They seem to like the coconut smell. It is a benefit as I like the smell as well when I feed the dogs. No nasty dog food smell. I will now add blueberries to the finished product. Thanks for your tips.

He is very picky and didn’t like the food. We just made a double batch of your recipe and feed him some tonight and he gobbled it up. He had been having some digestive issues and diarrhea.

      I usually get blue buffalo $80 but my dog is kinda meh about it so I got chicken topper for it $3 a tube a week so $100 but the bag last 2 months. So it would be about $50 difference if I don’t get the meat on sale and I can usually get a $5 chicken from Costco or catch meat on sale since I can freeze half a batch it might work out better. 🤔
