I have a whole 'nother crockpot I use just for my dog's food. They are the pickiest eaters and before I started cooking they would waste so much store-bought food. It's actually less expensive for me to cook this way than it is to have to throw away all the off-the-shelf food I've thrown away.
I have many dogs both large and small. I homecook and feed raw. Never any kibble. I use my crockpots a lot. Thank you for adding crockpots to your recipe list 😀😀😀😀🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺
I have not tried cooking my dog’s food using my….wait for it …Suzanne Sommers crock pot..;) I love my crockpot and will look forward to easier method of preparing my baby’s (Chase) food. I had been using ground turkey and after awhile, he showed no interest! Your delicious recipe may change his mind 😊 New subscriber…just found your channel ❤
About to make a small batch(other breast going into dehydrator for jerky treats). Slow cookers are SO easy, finding veggies my dog will eat is another story. Peas are out, lol.
Great video. New subscriber. I'm going to try some of these recipes for my Westie, he's 15!! I love your Staffie. They have a bad name over here in Ireland, but mainly due to ignorance. I started volunteering at a dog shelter 7 years ago, and soon discovered that Staffies are the most lovable and friendly dogs. As a result, they have become one of my favourite breeds.
I swear this dog eats better than me. I had canned baked beans and hot dog sausages last night. LOL! Seriously, I want this for me to cook. I need to eat more healthier now. Can I just use thighs with bone? Or do I have to make it boneless?
Way too expensive where I live to feed my dog this. Some people do not eat this good here compared to what is in this crockpot for a dog. I simply boil some chicken gizzards and hearts for 10 to 15 mins and mix it with some table scraps. Dog turned 13 this month.
@@BarkingGoodChef you so welcome ! I just found your channel ! I love it ! Your unintentionally funny ! But I’ll be using your recipes ! I often cook for my doggos but glad u found this channel ! I cook chicken skins treat often probably twice weekly but I put little salt and sugar on them
I add vitamin powder to my dogs’ food a few times a week, plus give them supplements depending on their needs (for example, Glandex to prevent those smelly excretions). Most important, though, is my vet says it’s all working and the pooch is In fantastic health. As always, and especially with a homemade diet, you’ll want to work with your veterinarian to make sure your dog is in good health. Mine have been on an all-homemade regimen for over a decade now. Cheers!
Glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing g. I have two picky chihuahuas that won't eat any dog food I buy for them so I started cooking my own dog food. I love your recipe and it's low cost and easy. Thank you for sharing, your dog really loves it huh?
Thanks for this! Going to try to get my Staffie off prescription food and allergy meds. Vet medicine is just as profit driven as human healthcare, if not worse since they know we will do anything for our pets. 😅
I started making dogfood and now my dog wont eat unless he sees me heat it up. I have to actually put it in something and act like I warmed it up or he will just look at it and me in disappointment
It’s funny how quickly they learn, eh? I started making my own over a decade ago, and soon after my dogs turned their noses up at any commercial or subpar food 🤣
Thank you, and great question. Here is a guide for recommended portions in general for feeding dogs: www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/dr-coates/2015/july/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount-32905
I use this chart from PetMD as a general guide. I hope it helps you, too: www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/dr-coates/2015/july/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount-32905
I’ve found this to be a good guide for feeding, and should be helpful guideline whether you’re mixing homemade dog food and kibble, or only serving homemade: www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount
Here is a good general guide on feeding portions: www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount Since I only make homemade food for my dogs, I use this recipe as one portion. If you want to combine with existing kibble, try mixing in to make one portion appropriate for your dog. Thanks!
For that, I would start with 25 minutes using natural pressure release (where you let the pin drop on its own). See how that works, and if the meat is still tough, try longer the next time. I think dogs will love it 😀
My dogs will only eat carrots if I cut up very small pieces and cook with the chicken. If I just steam them and add into the mixture, they spit them out. 😂
I could see this being good as an additive to the diet, but it has too many nutritional gaps to be balanced unless you balance over time using multiple recipes. The Ingredients are all good stuff, so, I’d definitely feed it if I had a variety of recipes with differing ingredients to fill in the gaps.
I never cook rice in the crockpot. I've added cooked rice and oatmeal works in the pot. I guess it varies on your slow cooker, but some grains really need high temp
Yes. I regularly add powdered vitamin mix, powdered hip/joint mix, and bone meal powder, which is a good source of calcium. I'm not tied to any particular brand.
10,000 to 100,000 times stronger olfactory sensors than a human and your gonna cook his food in a slow cooker?! He probably starts salivating immediately but his dogo brain doesn't understand time so now he gets anxiety as each second passes and the smells get stronger and stronger melding into an orgasmic delight of the smell realm!!
As a very general rule, you’re looking at 1 cup to 1 1/3 cup for a dog of that weight. If your dog is still a pup or in growth stage, that may vary and will increase. As always, check with a vet for specific requirements for your dog. Cheers!
Regular cuts of chicken & beef is not enough nutrition. You need to incorporate offal into the recipe if you are going to strictly feed home made. My vet suggested that I add vitamins to my dog's food when doing home made / raw, just to ensure they are getting all of the necessary vitamins and minerals in their diet.
I’m not sure who “they” are. My veterinarian certainly approves, and keep in mind that commercial dog food is a relatively new thing. For centuries through history, dogs lived on “people food.” Cheers 🙏
TRUTH BE TOLD: No dog food made by man is good for dogs. The same applies to cats. Those new foods like "Farmers Dog" are all made to appeal to humans. Dogs have no real need for fruits or vegetables in their diet. It's really all about marketing to humans to make more money, not necessarily about the nutrition and the well-being of your pet dog or cat. REALITY: The perfect food for your dog, or cat does not appeal to the average person. WHY? It's too expensive to maintain on a regular basis for a dog or cat. THE PERFECT FOOD FOR YOUR DOG OR CAT is actually the exact same foods you would feed to a pet boa constrictor; Feeder Rats, Feeder Mice, Feeder Guinea Pig and Feeder Rabbits. These animals contain all the perfect nutrition and vitamins (organs, brain, bone, and blood) your dog and cat need to be as healthy as they can be. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, ASK YOUR LOCAL VETERANARIAN.
A canine nutritionist should comment on this. It looks like an absolute nutritional nightmare toe me. Where are the vitamins, especially A D & E? The bit of iodine in the salt is negligible, and completely insufficient for an adult dog. Where are the oils and fatty acids? And dogs don’t need tenderized slow-cooked meet; chewing tough meat is how they clean their teeth. It’s also good for their mental health. No bones means no calcium, phosphorus or magnesium. Cooked bones should not be fed to any dog, so the slow-cooker is a no-no anyway. Sweet potatoes and legumes (i.e. peas) have been shown to cause CDM, which can be fatal. If you routinely feed this crap to your dog the animal will be woefully malnourished in no time, and its life will be shortened so that’s a cost saving in the long run, I suppose.
Oops you forgot the organ meat, source of calcium and omega 3 and 6 oil. Not balanced food. Also peas are legumes and are not advised due to heart issues. Please visit a canine nutritionist for guidance. This is not it.
Calcium is indeed an important nutrient for dogs. Here’s an entire video I made on that topic: Calcium and dogs | A vital nutrient to know ua-cam.com/video/sd3z17F-6-g/v-deo.html
Your dog is lucky to have you!!

How many servings does that amount make for your dog?
If memory serves, it was about 6 to 8. This will vary depending on the size of your dog. Cheers!
I feel it’s important to add muscle meat and crushed or ground egg shell for calcium
Good thinking. I also regularly cook organ meats and other types, plus add a calcium supplement. Cheers! 🙏
wheat for dogs?
If you want. Other grains of your choice can also be substituted. Cheers!

I’ve found this to be a good guide for feeding, and should be helpful guideline whether you’re mixing homemade dog food and kibble, or only serving homemade: www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount

Shoot I might just make myself a plate 😂 that looks delicious 😊side note: I don't have a 🐶
Lol, thanks! Definitely human-worthy. Add some onions, garlic, seasonings and you’re good to go 😀
How long in the instapot
For that, I would start with 25 minutes using natural pressure release (where you let the pin drop on its own). See how that works, and if the meat is still tough, try longer the next time. I think dogs will love it 😀
forget peas - try spinach, green beans-kale -more nutritious
I keep trying, my senior dog is getting pickier & pickier so most veggies are out(unless grated into strong flavored meat).
I know how difficult this can be. Sending good thoughts to you and your dog 🙏
My dogs will only eat carrots if I cut up very small pieces and cook with the chicken. If I just steam them and add into the mixture, they spit them out. 😂
@@dottjohnson2232 🐾😁😆
Don’t forget to toss in hemp hearts, flax seed & chia.

Maybe it’s just me but, my dog could care less about presentation! He’s just ready to eat!
you can add bone in meats and with all that water it will make a broth (just remember to remove the bones!!!)
Good tip!
I do the same...what's on sale...and dog nutrious
Right on! 👍
10,000 to 100,000 times stronger olfactory sensors than a human and your gonna cook his food in a slow cooker?!

Lol, good observation! I think there were some treats given in the meantime 🤣
slow cookers almost never break..i feed my girl pressure cooked meat with bones so she gets that marrow nutrition..
I didn’t know to add iodine
If using regular table salt, it will have iodine in it. If unsure, just see if the salt says “iodized” on the box. Cheers!
@@BarkingGoodChef WHAT ABOUT NON IODIZED OR SEA SALT? REG TABLE SALT HAS TOO MUCH SODIUM
@@tiana1017just use less
My boa keep teleporting
I used to do all that but I stopped cause the dog started vomiting. I used to such trouble for her .
Oh, I hope you’ve found quality food that agrees with her 🙏
How much do I feed my 17 lb dog per day
As a very general rule, you’re looking at 1 cup to 1 1/3 cup for a dog of that weight. If your dog is still a pup or in growth stage, that may vary and will increase. As always, check with a vet for specific requirements for your dog. Cheers!

@@BarkingGoodChefsomething you should absolutely share that is needed not all people are aware
