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.

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 11 ай бұрын

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'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.

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!😊

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.

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.

Sweet dog. Remember we all have opinions; some have facts. Thanks for all your work and research. I have used a similar recipe and will now update mine with yours. Thanks again

@justinephelps3639 11 ай бұрын

I’ve been using your recipe for over two months and my 2 dachshunds LOVE it. The porky one has been slowly slimming down over the weeks and has more energy now and a silky softer coat. I feel great about feeding them fresh homemade food where I know everything that goes into it. I do sprinkle a probiotic, vitamin/mineral powder on top just to cover my bases as a first time dog food cooker. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Its affordable, easy and they gobble it up licking the bowl. 🐶🐶

Great videos. I make a big batch for my dog. One thing I do instead of storing in Tupperware, I use quart freezer bags and put 2 cups of food in each bag. I make enough to fill 25 bags and freeze them and just pull them out a day before I need to use them.

Thank you so much for this! Our 2 1/2 year old doodle was on farmers dog and loved it and did so well on it, it got to be too expensive for us and we had to switch to a more affordable food. 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. Vet wanted us to go on a sensitive stomach dog food. We didn’t want to do that. This is a great alternative to a healthy food for our baby.

@@mmiller1011they make custom meals and will make you a recommended meal for your dog if you go to there website for your dog breed and size for 2 weeks worth of food. My 35 pound beagle is 6.01 a day at $64 for 2 weeks worth of food. 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. 🤔

As far as the rice thing goes, which i am sure someone has probably mentioned by now, to avoid arsenic in your rice as much as possible just buy rice not grown in the USA. Other countries have far better food standards than we do as far as chemicals in their food.

Going off @faithsgardenofweeden7366 's suggestion...i have an electric roaster that'll hold up to a 28 lb bird, it also has a removable inner liner so you'd have an easier time cleaning up. Or if you needed to cook for large or giant breeds of dogs. I have taken to adding a dash of black pepper and about 1/3 tsp. Tumeric and 1/3 tsp. Ginger in my coffee. Didn't think about adding it to my dogs' food. Still learning as i go. 😊

You can eliminate a lot of the arsenic in the rice simply by rinsing the rice really well in a strainer over the sink before adding it to the pan. Good for humans and pups.
