- Saving money is paramount to us right now. We have begun to make our own dog food for Hank and Miss bear. Follow along with us as we show you what we put into. What are dogs consider a delicious meal that they look forward to now every day. You can add turmeric to each of your bags if you desire for inflammation. I also top off once a week I can of sardines split between them both. Sardines must be packed in water guys. Nothing else. Also, you could always add a raw egg to the top every couple of days to help fortify their nutrition. We will keep you posted on their progress.
You do want to freeze these bags and take them out as needed
Please don’t give dogs spinach or rice! I fed my precious shih zu chicken, vegetables and rice her whole life. She died of heart disease. Same as my precious terrier. Heart disease. Give them a carnivore diet.
I changed my last dogs diet to meat, salmon and sardines and his back legs were lame now he’s like a puppy. Vet said he needed surgery and would never be 100% 2 years ago!! ❤❤
It's great you are cooking the dogs' homemade food.
It is important that you do keep supplementing with some added kibble because unless you add nutritional supplements containing vitamins & minerals, the food could be nutritionally deficient.
It's a difficult balance with commercial dog food and what seems to be an increase in dogs suffering from human diseases.
I've unfortunately lost some of my pets due to early deaths, too. 😢
I buy frozen mixed veggies and frozen spinach; it cools off the broth, meat and rice/oats after they are done cooking; you don't have to mix well. At first dogs may be picky but mine were not. they lick the bowls
Thank you for this!!
I no longer feed rice...I use chick peas, quinoa and oatmeal. I also feed squash, zucchini, boiled eggs, chicken bone meal I make, chicken thighs. I dont use broccoli or spinach. I do use small amounts of organ meat as well.
Since I stopped feeding processed dog food my dogs coats are so shiny and clean. No more paw licking or head shaking.
OHHH Thanks Karen!!! Great idea.
@@ntxghahaha
Wow!!!
Awesome.
Hi, can you tell me what kind of supplements to add ?
If you scrub sweet potatoes well you don’t have to peel them. Cut them in cubes. I sauté my meat in the instant pot first then I add everything else, sweet potatoes on the bottom. At the end when I mix it up I add the pumpkin, blueberries and any supplements.
Awesome!! Thank you
Great video and I'm sure Hank and Miss Bear love it! Blessings
Great looking dog chow! I go through phases of feeling inspired to make our dog home-made to mix with his kibble and he loves it.
This is a great idea Jill. We will give this a try for our four little ones. Breaking even however much better quality.
Great idea and healthier than commercial dog food.
Ty for the video . I have 2 GSD and 2 other dogs . I'm definitely going to feed this with our kibble.
Les Feldick and Grace Ambassador really good to listen to.
I just learned there are food grade 5 gallon buckets. I’m 63, and never knew that.
I started making my dogs' food a few months ago. I put in whatever meat I have, usually chicken. I need to add more vegetables, but I put in barley, brown rice and lentils. I also cook up some scrambled eggs every day to make sure they have enough protein. They love it!
Lol...every person that comments almost, I am copying and pasting their suggestions for a 'Feed my Animals' ingredients list. This is really helpful. I noticed you mentioned the scrambled eggs for the protein. That is super suggestion. Don't know if you'd be interested but meal worms (no more than 10% of daily food) really gives them protein. I just started a few months ago with just meal worms. They are just now really starting to take off....have tons of beetles, worms and pupae. All I do is dump some cheap rolled oats in their bin and a whole carrot. Easy to care for.
Ok...thanks for your information and Jesus bless.
@@sandrarichardson2713 I’ve kicked around the idea of adding mealworms, but I’m still researching about the chitin content. Mixed reviews on those and other insects/larvae. Still, something to consider seriously.
Eggs are such a superior food for so many animals! I limit raw eggs for my dogs and cats, but cooked it seems you can’t go wrong feeding them.
@@WinkTartanBelle Thanks Wink---I didn't even know what chitin was. Appreciate the heads up on that and will do some research also. Have a great weekend and Jesus bless.
I've read that lentils and peas aren't good for dogs. I use quinoa instead of rice and broccoli, cauli, carrots,sweet potatoes, kale, chia seeds, organ meats and turkey.
Brown rice has arsenic and rentals cause dogs heart problems
Thanks for this.
There’s many so many reports lately of dogs becoming very ill by certain brands of kibble. Dog food is not regulated. Between kibble and vaccines dogs are developing illnesses and passing too soon. I’ve been making almost this exact recipe for my 2 for well over a year. It is work, but my babies deserve it and are worth it.
Please do more research and up your game-- Your "babies deserve it". The recipe shown here is very species inappropriate. It is basically all low cost plant fodder with a small amount of meat. It is very lacking in essential fatty acids, essential vitamins and minerals. This practice will ruin their dogs' health in short order. This breaks my heart.
Wonderful! We had a vet that used to say regarding food etc..."Pay now or pay later". Also I have read that even high end dog food gets cooked at a very high temp and the high temp causes a toxic carcingoen in the dog food. One of the reasons for the rates of cancer in our pets. Raw food also has value. Stella and Chewys is one of the few if only freeze coated dry dog foods that are not cooked at high temps. Thank you for being an inspiration on so many fronts Jill.
Thank you Niki! Girl, we are trying as much as we can to minimize exuberant costs of anything
Rinse the peas off❤
I tried Stella and chewys recently. My dog threw it up the second day. I had been introducing it slowly and slowed it down even more but he was still nauseous and eating grass a few days later so I returned it. I really wanted to like it
I add eggs and crushed up egg shells (dryed in the oven for a couple of hours and then crushed finely in the blender) to our dog food when I make it for them. They love it!
Great idea Laura. So good to see you.
My Mom used to call this "doggy stew". Our dogs were always SO super healthy, too.
Yay!!!!
Yum my favorite
I used to boil chicken and then remove and chop up the meat and use the broth that is left to cook the rice in. Get a few more nutrients from the water that way. This was a sensitive stomach to get a dog to start eating again recipe.
When we have corn on the cob I will leave a bite or two on the cob and have taught my dog how to nibble it off the cob while I hold it. (Corn cobs can cause obstructions) She is very into “snacks” aka bites of whatever we are having for a meal so she is used to people food and if needed I can switch her over quickly. She loves her cooked and then dehydrated sweet potato treats too!
I’m going to start feeding my pup
Homemade food. Your right about the way the kibble has been
looking. He loves the veggies in this recipe. So going to feed him
this healthier way! Thank you! ❤
God Bless
❤️😘🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. Very informative. I recently got a bernedoodle since I retired. I've been mixing his dry with chicken and sometimes sweet potatoes . I never thought of using ground Turkey.
❤️❤️❤️
My cat LOVES sweet potato. I need to look into make the Beans food. 😃😃
Ive never seen canned pumpkin... part of our spring growing is chucking pumpkin seeds out and watch them grow lol.. and usually heaps will grow in the compost bed anyways...NZ is where i live and pumpkin has always been a part of our normal diet...pumpkin scones, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, roast pumpkin, mashed pumpkin, lol I feel like Forrest Gump's friend..describing all the ways to eat shrimp... Anyway.. I have subscribed..i love this video especially for my dog food, and cant wait to check the rest of your content ...God bless and Thankyou for sharing...
I need to start doing this!
I add plan yogurt and my brother add egg to my and his dog food. I will go to our local meat packaging/ processing store and buy pup disk thats all leftovers meat and bone made into patty from cow, sheep ect... mostly cow. Which the lady who told me about them said its safe for humans to eat them. I cook the pup disk and add to both dog food. I so want to try your recipes which i don't think my dog will eat cook spinach. Thanks for sharing.
Jill I spend that much on our dogs and will give this a try. I have been feeling we need to do something for their health. It’s not feeding kibble. I saw a dog on UA-cam that was 17 years old. He ate much of what his owner ate. Healthy food. This looks so good.
Thank you Kim!
Oh my goodness! Yes it's the best for our paw friends. I started doing my dog's home food 3 year's ago and they love it , I included chicken ground beef together in this recipe, plus half dozen of eggs, I had a teaspoon of tumuring . My cost is 95 a month. I my sweet babies are small so .
That’s fantastic!
I started my 10 yr old Border Collie mix, "Brea" on a recipe very similar and she ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT AND ITS LOVING HER !!!... Its like the clock has turned back 8 yrs. cause she bounces around like a baby pup, feeling much better than she did before, such a Blessing !!!...God Bless You Sister, Great Video !!!
Thank you!!!!
This is an amazing start! I can see how much you care for your pups by the way you take the time to cook for them :D Oftentimes homemade diets are lacking nutrients because organs aren't added (and they shouldn't be cooked because nutrients become depleted) so I would recommend adding some liver, whether that is air dried or raw and blended to your recipes! Organ meat is cheap and basically like natures multivitamin
Yes! I always add organs to my dog's meals, since they are natures multivitamin. She doesn't like them raw so I use Real Dog Boxes organ mix!
When I first got our dog & for many years I made my dog his food. I found out he was missing taurine in the food and I believe this contributed to his heart issues he has now. He never ate dog food until the last several years when we determined he was allergic to the chicken I had been feeding him for years. I've tried making his dog food again but it starts going bad before he can eat it all and he doesn't seem to like it as much as when I use to make it. I'm glad your dogs like the food and aren't experiencing stomach issues. I think it's because you are making the food versus switching to dog food you buy.
Becky, dogs with allergies to the “common” proteins like beef or chicken often do well on what the scientific and medical people call “novel” proteins. Most often these are things like lamb, goat, fish, or rabbit. Any rodent like cuy can also be tested. I had a Chinese Crested that was allergic to beef, chicken, eggs, and pork. He refused to eat lamb and rarely accepted goat.
Once I trialed him on rabbit and then cuy I had my marching orders 🤣 So I started raising rabbits. That didn’t go well since it just gets too hot here to keep them alive all summer without air conditioning, forget about them breeding. I heard about cuy and they have worked well for me. They handle my conditions much better than rabbits and I can easily manage my herd size. Each one dresses into a flat single (human) serving and the bones don’t splinter like bird bones.
That dog, Sarge, passed several years ago and I eventually stopped keeping cuy, but I’m thinking I’ll get started again this next year. Mostly just keeping my ear to the ground to find fresh stock suited for my needs.
I make mine for my Isabella cream daschound almost exactly the same! I use chicken instead of turkey, I also add a few boiled eggs and mango and or frozen bananas. Our Luna ( a rescue) has sensitive skin, the homemade food works very well for her, cleared her skin, and her coat is beautiful. We also give her a multi vitamin for daschounds to cover what nutrients are not in her food. I have also added turnips and rutabaga when I can get it.
Ihhhh yay!
You don't need pumpkin if you're using sweet potato. You can also give them RAW meaty bones.
Your recipe is very similar to mine. One thing different that I do is I save bones from our human meals and then make bone broth that I use to cook my recipe in. I add about a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar while making the broth to draw out more calcium. If the bones get soft enough that I can break them by smushing with my fingers, I toss those into the food. I also don't peel my sweet potatoes...just wash them up really well. I use Kale instead of spinach. It bothered me to use one-time containers to store the food, so I purchased reusable silicone zip-top bags. They work really well for us.
I have 2 shepherds.. my aunt has always made her dog food for the dogs they live to be 15.,16 years old
Thank you sister!
Great video.. much healthier meals for the furbabies..I home cooked for my special needs furbabie that passed 2 years ago now, Nippy had a poor liver function, I know and feel blessed we had 12 beautiful years together, and the homecooking prolonged his life. ( although Nippy is still very missed). I have recenetely rescued to senior dogs for our local humane society , I have been feeding my new boys healthier store bought pet food, wet & dry food, but I'm not feeling good about this. I'm going to start homecooking again, using my instapot.
Blessings to you and your family.
Blessings back! ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about. 😊 it's been 3 years this month that I've been feeding the cats homemade food twice a day. It comes out of my own food budget.
My recipe is very similar, except I add sardines or canned salmon. Unsalted no oil. Sometimes they get chicken, beef or liver.
Organ meat is good for them. Salmon for dogs too. I sometimes use plain oatmeal as a filler. The canned pumpkin has gone way up in price. I always add something orange, so carrots or sweet potato. 1/3 protein, 1/3 veg, 1/3 filler.
They love it and their coats are beautiful. Eggs are probably good too.
Yes we will add eggs several days a week and sardines!
@@Archiesmom88 these are feral cats that are fed very well. I am retired on low budget. I do the best I can, thanks. They are lucky to get chicken liver.
I rinse all my canned veggies about 3 times even the ones that say no salt.
Fed your fur babies exactly what you would eat yourselves. ❤
You bet! They love it!
That is what I do. However, my dog is fat now, so I need to control portions.
I make mine too. My dog it diabetic on insulin. I add calcium to mine because he needs it. The vet said you can buy calcium powder supplement or we use eggshells. Wash them and put in oven briefly to dry out and grind in a little coffee grinder. About 1/2 tsp of ground eggshell per pound of meat and add about 1 tbsp of coconut oil per 3 pound of meat. Thank you for your recipe. I usually throw all mine in instant pot. Chop up carrots and sweet potato with skin for fiber but I have to make smaller batches. I may try your method too. I wonder if pressure cooking everything hurts the nutrients in the veggies. I do know several that do as I do but I do wonder about the vitamins.
I just made this for my dog last weekend I might have used the wrong pumpkin I did add chicken liver to it he loves it! The can food I was buying has been discontinued and he was not really eating it anymore I do put the home made over his dry he eats the whole bowl now. I hear blueberries are good to add
I’ve heard blueberries are good too! I may add
Siempre y cuando no tenga problemas de calculos renales.! Luke.Bucad información al respecto.
Vitamin A accumulates bec its a fat soluble ( carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and liver...all very high). Im always afraid of overduing it on Vit A and need to figure out if im giving my dogs too many orange veg in the homemade food. Good to inow about the rice.
Great ideas! I think you’ll find ways to make your dog food even better and more economical. Once your chicken keeping takes off, especially.
I do add eggs to my homemade dog food, about a dozen of my own eggs (I grind the shells to add them) to my 10 gallon batch. I also alternate batches made with brown rice and minimally processed rolled oats. When I process meat birds I use the byproducts for dog food, as I do my retired old hens. I grow extra oregano, kale/spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots just for the dog food. I don’t add peas because they just don’t grow well enough for me. If I have extra green beans I add some. Almost all the organ meats I get are either from my birds or from a friend that harvests several goats each year. My cuy are just getting to the point I can use them for dog food, and I’ve been using those organ meats plus the pressure-cooked-then-dried bones ground up. I have a very good meat grinder that handles those little bones easily.
I buy whole frozen mullet (guts and all) at a local oriental chef-bulk store to add variety and trace minerals. It’s about the cheapest fish I can find whole. Even the cats like the fishy batches, although most of them also like the chicken and love the cuy.
I really try to vary the ingredients and “flavors” to help make sure my nutritional bases are covered and my animals remain interested in their food. You don’t have to cram in every single nutrient every day, just be sure they get what they need over the course of each week or two. That’s what my vet explained to me. He said it’s pretty much the same for all animals, including humans.
Y’all stay cool! Only 103 here now, so not as hot as I was expecting. 😂😅
Did you think you can freeze dry that dog food?
Hugs.
Good night...between your information and Jill's this is WONDERFUL. Thank you for sharing. I love reading the comments on videos cause you get another ton of good info. Appreciate it. Do you keep your 'batch' in the fridge or do you freeze part of it? Thanks so much. Jesus bless.
Hi wink! We discussed freeze drying! I may do a small batch and see. Thank you as always for all your wonderful tips. We love you.
@@ntxg Please do, because I am measuring whether I think a freeze drier would be a good investment for us,
@@sandrarichardson2713 Thank you! I freeze most of it in zip bags, mushed flat so they stack better. I have learned to put a thin bit of cardboard (food packaging or whatever) between the bags do they don’t crease and get stuck together. Then they stack better in my freezer bins.
@@WinkTartanBelle Super tip on the cardboard....thank you once again. Jesus bless.
This is great Jill....I am going through the same thing....dogs, cats, chickens. Trying to set up a food forest in the chicken pen. Also planning garden for things that I don't really care for but can feed to the animals.
AWESOME video. Thanks so much.
Do you freeze part of your batch or will it keep 2 weeks in the fridge?
Oh...I wanted to ask too if it would hurt the dogs to eat the sweet potato peels? Jesus bless.
Freeze it gal!
Jill, when you starting the 365 pantry stock challenge, I started canning dog food. It seems half the preserving I've been doing toward that challenge has been dog food. We only have one dog and she doesn't eat commercial canned dog food anymore. We do add kibbles also and she has had a lot less tummy issues.
You go!!! Yes we will do kibbles for their teeth too.
One can GROW alot of these veggies pretty easily too.
Yes DOG FOOD grow on "trees" (a garden) lol
Heck yea!❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us. Now I'll be making some for my dogs too.
❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas Family,
Merry Christmas Greggy!
This recipe looks great and reminds me of what I’m using on my dogs. I will say that we also add some canned pumpkin may be a couple tablespoons, and I am now adding some organic plain yogurt. I’m learning to make my own yogurt to cut down on costs. I quit feeding any kibble due to the fact that one of my LGDS consistently had a reaction and would limp for days after kibble. I will also say that I’ve had a concern after losing some dogs to cancer with va((inz. I watch another UA-cam channel with a dog trainer/expert who does a lot of very informative vids on how to keep them healthy. Rachel Fusaro. Fair warning, she’s like the energizer bunny! Ha ha! Still praying for rain and at least today it’s quite a bit cooler. God bless!
By the way, you are one of the most organized Gardener/homesteaders that I’ve ever seen! Kudos!
Yep good to stay away from the va(s too!
I also have gone to making my cats and dogs food. Once you have the supplements and the good meat grinder you are good to go.
Jill, if and when you get your celery growing & harvested. Would you be willing to freeze dry or dehydrate some of the leaves? I can't find celery leaf in any of the grocery stores. I use it in tuna & chicken salad if I don't have fresh on hand. I would be more than happy to pay you for it. All I can find is celery salt or seed. Another thing you can add to your online store.
I’ll run this for you gal. Be sure to email me and give me your details.
@@ntxg will do.
Yum yum!
We wash and cook egg shells for 15 minutes at 150 c, then grind them in the coffee grinder. It gives them calcium and helps clean their teeth. Love all dogs 🐕 especially my German Shepard Aida. Do you think this could be dehydrated if you don’t have much freezer space? Still making and loving your Texas Trash ❤️🙏🕊👍😁
We are going to see about freeze drying it!
You can add lentils too.
Jill, will you put those bags in the freezer till you need them? Ive made dog foor much like that that I pressure canned in jars. This encourages me to do more.
Yes ma’am!
Constructive criticism: In case you weren't aware spinach and sweet potato are higher in oxalates. The sweet potato, carrot, pumpkin and rice is a high starchy carb/sugar diet being inflammatory which can lead to IBS and Pancreatitis. Rice can contain arsenic and holistics are learning that grains in general can block adsorption of nutrients as well as absorb Taurine stored within the biolasics and digestive juices carrying it out through the feces. With the included kibble this is a high plant based diet.
Thank you gal!
@@ntxg Forgot to state I alternate between butternut squash and canned pumpkin for my dog, but at a lower ratio of a batch of food. Hope this was helpful.
EXCELLENT strategy !
I can see why they enjoy it.
Have you considered making peanut 🥜 butter (and banana too?) dog biscuits instead of kibble perhaps?
I have and will try. SS
Hello. I do frozen vegetables I find they are a bit more affordable and I put all my veg in the crockpot frozen my meat and rice cooked with some water. My dogs absolutely ❤ it.
Yes! Great idea!
Thank you so much for this video! We lost our precious Lexie in May due to cancer. I have been cooking & freezing chicken for our Ruby & mixing it with her kibble. (Ruby showed up starving 4 years ago.) I am so going to mix this up for Ruby. Do you freeze it, then defrost when you are ready to use it?
Yes freeze it! Thanks showed up to us starving about four years ago too. He’s our best dog.
@@ntxg I believe that God often sends us the dogs that we need in our lives. Ruby is very close to my husband. ❤️
Garlic / garlic powder is good for animals too. It helps keep fleas and worms away.
How much garlic powder in a batch this size?
FYI, garlic is just like onions, they should not be given to dogs.
not true, garlic is great for immunity and to prevent pests. fresh garlic chopped, not jarred garlic. you would need to feed a lot of garlic for toxicity. a simple google search will tell you how much you can safely feed your pup @@D4ni3773
I cook for my pups. I just made 12 lbs of turkey/chicken, veggies and supplements. I have an old nesco that has slow cook setting, so cook it for about 4 hours. My dogs coats are so smooth, their poops are better now than all the years on kibble. My little one was such a picky eater, but not anymore, the two big girls love it. Best thing, they are actually losing a bit of weight, and acting younger. They are 13, 9, and 8. ❤
So great! ❤️
Recipe??
Give all of the potatoes, skin has lots of nutrients. I'd do everything in the instant. Add some fresh grated ginger, a couple of coconut oil, some blueberries or cranberries (dried or dehydrated) and some tumeric and blk pepper (blk pepper activates the tumeric). When fixing the food bowls, top it with some sardines , can be cans just make sure they are in water and not oil.
My 2 large dogs go through a deer a month. We give them carrots, pumpkin, yams, green beans, and Brussel sprout leaves not the sprouts we cook them like turnip greens.
How awesome
Hi, I use frozen spinach, peasand carrots green beans and kale in my dogs food.
Fantastic!!!❤️❤️❤️
This can be a touchy subject, so much goes into “kibble” food.
Most are crap fillers.
You have the protein, carbs, some fiber, maybe look at more healthy fats and fatty acids, as well as essential vitamins and minerals.
Like you said in the video animal organs like the liver can help a bit, but not if they fats are cooked out.
Flaxseed and salmon oil are good to look into.
There is a great article out by a veterinarian explaining in none veterinarian terms, he cover and explains so much like,
Did you know dogs need 20 different amino acids, there body can produce 10 of those but need the other 10 from there diet, which come from protein.
It’s good to see more people getting away from what is called dog food. 👍🏼
Thank you
Could turmeric be added for inflammation and joint health
Yes!
And if you want to save even more money, use gallon silicone bags that you can wash and reuse or jars or something you can wash and reuse. Just a tip.😜
Great recipe. Thanks for sharing. Do you freeze these packets or just keep in refrigerator?
Freeze!
I’d fight my dog over that recipe 😂
🤣🤣
we do homemade dog food .we found it right after we adopted our hank. after five years he is doing great.
So great! Thank you for watching us!
Hi,nice to see you make homemade food for your furry babies…in India 🇮🇳 I always do that ..a small advice pls add couple of teaspoons of turmeric powder when boiling your veggies..it’s really good for immunity
Yes we do but after!!! Thank you so much for the tips
Also, add a little bit of black pepper if you’re using turmeric. It helps the turmeric be absorbed.
What size instant pot do you use? Thank you.
It’s no difference for them, as for us. Most is poisonous and causes those cancers, just like people. It’s best to make your own if you can using home grown vegetables and clean meat scraps
❤️
ps don't leave out the peel on the sweet potato
Do you freeze it after you make it?
Use frozen peas and carrots. Canned is terrible with way too much sodium. Saves a lot of time too. 😉
It’s the animal byproducts in the commercial dogfood that’s killing the dog’s. It includes corpses along the road, dead cows, even dead dogs already creamated and the shot that they give them to take them down never breaks down it’s the worst. Animal byproducts no good. You are doing the best thing with what u make
❤️
They think peas and pea protein along with lentils and legumes
Are causing the Heart issues in grain free foods! Just some food for thought💕
I tried the farmer’s dog for a month and now my dog won’t eat it anymore , I’ve been throwing it to the trash , it’s throwing $$ away . I’m going to try this !! Thank you
Very welcome!
That happened with me too. I tried the first month and my pup would not eat it by the end.
I’m assuming you freeze the bags and thaw as needed? This is my first try at homemade dog food. I’ve got the batch cooked & ready to bag but have only dog 50-55 pounds so this is going to last over 2 weeks I think.
Yes I did!
How do you know how much to give your dog?
Can someone tell me what kind of prebiotic and vitamins to add to my homemade dog food?
Sweet potato skin has nutrients so leave the skin on
You're cooking the nutrients out of you protien. Feed it raw in your mix. I don't feed peas either.
How did you store this for days
Freezer
Can you use this recipe for cats?
I don’t think so because they have different dietary needs sister.
Amanda, if you have a bulk store near you, or someone that fishes, you can pressure cook whole fish (guts, bones, and all!) until the bones mush between your fingers. Cats don’t really do well on most vegetation but can eat a bit of oat grass, a few select herbs, and a bit of oat or rice. Please research the proper diet and recipes for them.
Mine eat chicken, rabbit, turkey, fish, and cuy with no issues. Rarely they get beef, pork, or goat/lamb. I’d feed goat more often if I had a better supply. I do feed them cooked eggs weekly.
Male cats are especially prone to urinary stones from excessive calcium, so that has to be taken into account.
Research helps us all learn better ways to feed our treasured companions.
Do you put the food that you arent using in the freezer?
Yes
Can someone explain the 'low temp' part to me? I'm a little worried about using my perfect pot, but i really want to start making my fur baby's food, he has horrible allergies!
I don’t know much about low temp 🥹
have you tried your recipe on cats?
No we don't have any kittys
Thanks :) @@ntxg
Cats do better on a very high protein food
Are you just putting part in the freezer?
Yes in quart bags!
can you use frozen spinach? If so how much would you use?
Yes! A bag or two
Thank you ever so kindly for responding. ♥@@ntxg
Do you freeze it?
Yes!
Hello Sister Sister what about cat food you guys got any ideas😮❤
Very similar recipe. Add cat friendly veggies
Some of that kibble smells and feels like play-doh.
oh me;;;them pups gonna be in hog heaven;;;;lol;;;;gee;;;I dont even eat thata good;;;;hey I have a picky eater so I started making my dogs food;;;welll;;;used bought but added to it;;;lots of veggies, rice and plenty of oatmeal;;;when making breakfast I add a little water to the oatmeal pan and when it cools I pour it in their food bowls;;they go to it like it's Tbone steak;;;;so I add lots off oatmeal to mine;;;also add eggs;;;anyway hope the mixture works out for you guys;;;oh ya need to get on ya indian clothes and get out and do a bunch of rain dances for its so dry here that when i crack an egg it looks like a west texas dust bowel inn the kitchen;;;;lol;;;anyway enjoyed thumbs up and keep em comin
thank you OM! I hope it works too. Hank hasn't been chewing on his paws so hopefully its helping a lot.
Perfect timing! I made some home made dog food for my 3 Chow Hounds last night. The price of Commercial Dog Food is getting crazy. And looks kinda questionable.
I used some Jasmine Rice; a can of peas and carrots and a can of their dog food. Acted like they had NEVER eaten in their lives 😂. Buddy is 13. Bandit is almost 11. And Joy Lynn is 6.
Awe Rebecca, I had a bandit dog when I was a girl he was my sweet boy. I know our dogs can’t wait to eat now and they can smell it when I’m making it as you can see Miss bear standing at the bowl.
You should have done organic turkey. Non organic turkey is bad for humans as well as animals. The turkey business is really dirty
I'm just starting to look into this. I don't think dogs need all those vegetables, especially the ones that are high oxalate. Aren't dogs more carnivores? My dogs do eat broccoli and cauliflower as treats but not in a main food dish everyday...
Why no sweet potatoe skin??
No particular reason
@@ntxg I’m starting my homemade dog food journey Sunday as i will be prepping for 6 dogs. Thanks for the video!!
The skin is good for them. It has a lot of nutrients in it 😊
