    Vet Approved homemade dog food recipe (This makes about 16 cups)
    *I used a 10qt instant pot for this recipe
    Ingredients:
    -5-6 pounds of ground turkey
    -7.5 ounces of pumpkin puree
    -2T coconut oil
    -2 sweet potatoes
    -1 1/2C brown rice or white rice
    -7oz of frozen spinach
    - 4 carrots chopped
    -12oz green beans
    -12oz peas
    -2C water
    - 1/3C of beef liver chopped
    -5t of calcium
    optional: 1/4t of turmeric powder
    Wash all veggies if using fresh and chop into small chunks. Add sweet potatoes and frozen veggies to instant pot, then rice, frozen spinach, meat, pumpkin puree, water, beef liver, and then ground chicken. Add lid to instant pot and pressure cook for 25-35 minutes on high. When timer goes off let sit for 5 minutes and then do a manual release. use masher gadget to get everything mashed and well mixed! I then add 5t of calcium. It tells you on the back of the calcium bottle how much to add per pound! 5t works perfect for this recipe. Serve to dogs warm so please allow time for it to cool before serving it to your pup! This recipe will last 3-4 days in the fridge. I freeze extras and take out of freezer to thaw the night before as needed. My dogs eat this recipe cold but feel free to heat it up if needed.
    Serving size guide for full day of eating : ( This is just a guide! Please consult with your dog's vet to make sure they are getting the perfect serving size)

    I enjoyed watching this. I started my homemade dog food journey 8 months ago after my 12 yr old, 60 lb mix was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Her vet said on average they will get 2 to 4 months after diagnosis if you choose not to go through chemo (with chemo they can get up to 15 months). I chose not to because of the side effects. She was in pretty bad shape at the time of diagnosis. She was loosing a lot of fur & weight, her remaining fur had turned dull and very course, where before it had been soft and shiny. Her eyes were very foggy and her red snout had turned all white. She started drinking a lot of water (it was as if she couldn't get enough). And then she started peeing the bed. She's on incurin (one tiny pill) a day which has her incontinence under control. The vet told me to just let her do what she loves, so I started giving her an egg in the morning, (because she loves eggs). Then at about a week I noticed some changes in her. Her eyes were clearing and her white snout started turning red again. And so began my research for homemade dog food. After discovering how bad store bought dry dog food is I stopped feeding it to her. For the last 8 months she's had only human grade food and the results have been undeniably positive! She gained some weight, grew back her fur, (which is soft again) and has more energy. Last month at her yearly checkup her vet said she was doing as well as a dog on chemo. But in my opinion better, because she doesn't have the side effects from chemo. I truly believe had I kept giving her the bagged dry food, she would not be with me today.

    I save my eggshells. I wash them and then cook them in the oven @ 400 degrees for 15 minutes on a cookie sheet. After they cool, I crumble them in a plastic bag. I then take them out and grind them in a coffee grinder that I bought just for this. This is how I give my dog calcium the natural way :) I also make homemade dog food. When it cools then I add the ground eggshells.

      @@Maincoonlover254 several years ago I cooked for my dog who had health issues. I did figure out the cost versus store bought. It actually came out to be only slightly less to make, but so much healthier. I bought the marked down (for quick sale) meat almost daily, and froze it. Saved a lot of money. Frozen vegetables from the “big box” store. I’d make a double batch every other weekend, portion serving size into ziplock bags, and freeze. Take two out at night to thaw. It’s simple, satisfying, and my dog loved it and I enjoyed the entire process. My recipe was very similar to this, less the pumpkin. I had laying hens back then and would crack one fresh raw egg on top a couple times a week.

    I started making my own dog food about 8 months ago. I have 3 dogs, one is 15 with dementia, one is 8 and the other 2. All mutts from the pound or found abandoned. The one with dementia is blind as well. The overall improvement is highly visual, all their coats are shiny and their teeth (I brush them) but the tartar build up decreased dramatically. I use a vast combo: ground chicken, turkey, beef, chicken or beef liver, most importantly is organ meat. Chicken gizzards, hearts and liver , brown rice, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes . The young one shed profusely on store bought food. Now it is minimal. The oldest was close to death last year. Had a few health scares. He can't see where he is going but runs nonetheless. LOL So glad you have so many followers because if a person has the time, it is crazy how the dogs will benefit.

      Wow. you sound like me. I had 4, but as of last week only 3. I too had a dog with dementia and I would describe her just the same. But it did eventually get to be too much. Her body was healthy although her anal glands seem to have a hard time healing. But her puppies treated her badly and wanted her out of the pack. The vet said it was normal. They started treating her badly over a year ago. She was always a nervous wreck due to them...which meant her quality of life was not good. It's all well now. The household feels normal with just dogs instead of feeling like they were taking over EVER MOMENT of my life while I tried juggling them all.

      This is a good tip about not overlooking your organ meats. As I understand it, mixed organ meats are a a real necessity for dogs. A friend of mine has a lovely Dobe from excellent bloodlines, who always had what she felt was a substandard coat. She feeds a very high quality kibble to her 3 large dogs. After doing some reading, she began adding raw beef liver to their kibble and it had a huge impact on the quality of his coat and more energy (he is 11 yrs old). So I did alot of investigation and reading of my own and have decided that I am going to start cooking for my smallish dog and make my own dog kibble topper for my dog. I am going to do dog soup (essentially bone broth w vegetables) and freeze it. I can make it much more nutritious and an added bonus is that it will be cheaper than buying it in the store. She will still get a limited amount of kibble just to make sure that she is well rounded nutritionally. Her organ meats will be mostly beef liver and chicken hearts and gizzards because that is what is most readily available. I am also going to a couple of local butcher shops to investigate what my options might be to see if I can expand on the variety of pieces and parts.

      @@karenannlara8461 hi babe! For one month of food, I get six chickens from Costco, a big bag of sweet potatoes, big bag of green beans, and about a pound of dried chickpeas from the bulk section at the regular grocery store. Since I’m lazy and don’t like preparing food too frequently, I’ll slow roast all 6 chickens in the oven for 12 hours so the meat just falls off the bone, cartilage, too. Chop the whole bag of sweet potatoes and boil them, and cook the chickpeas with a lot of water in the oven while the chickens roast because I don’t have a pot big enough. Chick peas expand like crazy. After the chickpeas are done and are still really hot, I’ll add the chopped green beans raw and they get a bit softer from the heat of the peas. Then I mix the peas, beans and sweet potatoes together and dismantle the chickens. Then I portion into Ziploc baggies to freeze. 6 ounces of chicken and 4 ounces of the sweet potato bean pea mix. She gets 10 ounces in the morning and 10 ounces at night and for lunch I gave her a half a cup of dry food just to get a little bit more fiber in her diet for solid poops. This recipe makes enough for two bags a day for anywhere between 24 and 30 days. I’m searching for a butcher that sells organ meat, because that’s what they should be eating often. It’s just hard to find kidneys, lungs, heart and liver at a reasonable price in large quantities. Give that pups a kiss for me 🥰 ❤️

    I have been making my senior dogs food for the past 2 years. I thought it was time for a change. And that's how I found your recipe. I followed the recipe and I am quite pleased with the outcome. (so is my Charlie). I will continue to use your recipe for a while the only change I made was the following. I added hemp hearts and the reason I did that was they contain 10 G of plant protein 12 G of Omega-3s and six and all nine essential amino acids I also added ground flax. One tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains 37 calories, 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat (includes the omega-3 fatty acids), 0.5 gram of monounsaturated fat and 2 grams of dietary fiber. I also add chia seeds they're great for 11 G of fiber plus they become gelatinous when they are wet, so they help to hold the food together. I also like to add at least one red or purple fruit. I generally add blueberries for an antioxidant. The seeds, I add 3teaspoons of each. The blueberries, I add 1 bag frozen at the end while the food is cooling, otherwise they turn everything purple. So there you have it. Thanx for caring, and thanx for the new recipe.

      I'm not sure if you are aware of this, even human can't digest plant based omega 3 efficiently. Human can only get 20%-30% omega 3 from plants unlike animal omega 3 which is way more bio-absorbable to human. This is just how our digestive system be able to breakdown those nutrients from plants. Therefore, I'm not sure how efficient would have been for dogs.

    I also make my dogs their food. I make a few changes each week so it does not get boring for them. I use range chicken, pressure cooked and remove meat from bone. I boil quinoa in chicken broth, then I use another separate grain (brown rice, white rice, oatmeal, millet, sorghum) each week and boil it in chicken broth as well. I add mixed veggies (no corn) . Each day they have a multi vitamin, a scoop of ground flaxseed, a scoop of protein powder. The two senior dogs get a half a Dasuquin for their joints.
    They are healthy and strong. I don’t trust any pet food manufactured, I know what’s in my dogs food. Dog food companies don’t love my dogs I do, so I give them the absolute best food and care I can give them.

    Every Dog Deserves to eat Real Food, Exercise Regularly, and have a Loving Owner! I cook for my dog in a crockpot on a low setting as it preserves nutrients and keeps all amino acids in meat without destroying them.

      Please don't give your dog raw veggies as their bodies are not designed to digest the cellulose. Steamed and cooked veggies are the appropriate way. Please visit the website NO MORE VET BILLS (it's not mine - wish it was) but I, as a canine nutritionist, have not looked back. It is the true way to feed your furbaby - one kind of food a day. RAW MEATS/BONES/ORGANS/EGGS one day, RAW FRUITS (RIPE) another day, and COOKED VEGGIES (pseudo-grain and veggies) a third with a fast after a meat day. (Y)

      @@melinamary5246 I do steam veggies, I don't steam salad type baby kale, bell peppers, or cucumbers but I don't give my dog that every day either. I do make sure the multivitamin is adequate. It is usually the calcium-phosphorus ratio that needs to be balanced as Dogs need 5- 8 times more calcium than we do. I Give my Dog fruit as a snack, not with his meal (apples, pears, berries, watermelon, pineapple) Same with raw goat milk, whole milk kefir, or Greek yogurt (1-2 Tbsp.) I mix it with water as he doesn't drink water
      His diet consists of Pastured Eggs Cooked with ground eggshells, Norwegian salmon oil, beef liver, turkey. Cooked garbanzo beans, pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes with skin, zucchini, broccoli, green beans, cabbage, beetroot (ground pumpkin seeds or ground flax seeds, peanut butter (that has 1 ingredient), dried cranberries, oatmeal (not instant), brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa, millet. Raw, frozen bones/ beef ribs once a week. My dog is obsessed with food so I don't think he needs to be fasting.

      @@marsinaries8892 The foods you give are ok. However, feeding one kind of food a day is the knack. With just one stomach, we don't want eventually creative digestive stress and problems that take various outlets. So feed your cooked planets on one day to the tune of 6% body weight. Feed your fruit (RAW AND RIPE) on one day to the tune of 6%, and then your RAW meats/organs/bones/eggs on another day without the skin and fat to the tune of 3% body weight. Leave out the garbanzo beans, brown rice, or any grain for that matter. Pseudo grains are fine. Fasting means Healing the system. While we give too many foods we fail to realize if our dog's system is ready to digest, absorb and utilize these foods. So keeping it simple, like their ancestors, who lived on raw meat (primary foods) and fruits (secondary foods) will help promote longevity and good health. It is when they begin to age that the disasters of what we had been feeding them show up. Having young bodies they are able to work out problems to a certain extent while piling up the crap for a future date. As a canine nutritionist, I am adept at giving supplements apart from the right foods to be fed, but on deeper research and seeing the effects on my own dog, as well as countless others (check Rotational Monofeeding on FB), we have been missing the simple facts hiding in plain sight and have fed our dogs so much, they have not been given a chance to fast and direct their energies to heal any disorders within, as they have and are spending most of their time digesting all foods in unnatural form (cooked). Anyway, all the best to you and hope you check out Rotational Monofeeding and NOMOREVETBILLS (one and the same) for euphoric revelations and restoration of good health to our fur babies. (Y)

    We've been having trouble with our dogs food for months now. Tried different dry, wet, pressed and cooked delivered food, and nothing was great. This fits the bill, it's clearly good quality (I did my research, this is balanced and healthy what you did here), and easy to follow. Thanks for this, will definitely try.

    Ok- I made it... I have a 8qt Instant pot so I reduced the ground turkey to 5lbs. It looks great and will start feeding them tomorrow. I have 2 dogs. Finn, my old man in spirit, has digestive issues and I've been feeding him basically homemade chicken and sweet potato. I am praying that adding all the other ingredients will help him. The puppy will eat it all up! Thank
    😀
