Hello everyone, noticed that there was no written recipe for this. But I’m gonna change that right now. Ingredients: -3lbs carrots -1 sweet potato -12oz bag of greenbeans -1 zucchini -3 medium heads of broccoli -4lbs protein -3/4 teaspoon tumric -kale or spinach -calcium 7 tablespoons~1 tablespoon per pound -1/2 cup of rice (brown or white) Directions: 1. Peel & cut up carrots & sweet potatoes 2. Get 2 medium sized pots, place in the carrots & sweet potatoes. Fill the vegetables in the pot with water, then cook on stove over medium heat until soft. 3. Chop cup your zucchini, shred broccoli & snap greenbeans. Set aside in a bowl. 4. Cook meat in a large pot over medium heat until the meat is only a bit cooked. 5. Add tumric & the kale/spinach to the meat & incorporate it in. Add in the bowl of zucchini, broccoli, & greenbeans. 6. When the carrots & sweet potatoes are soft drain the water from the pots. Mash up the sweet potatoes, then add them to the large pot. Mix in again 7. Add in the calcium & rice, turn off heat & give a final stir mixing in the ingredients well. 8. Put food in containers & store in fridge or freezer. I hope this written recipe helped, thank you for the cool recipe Shelby. We have a little Pomeranian terrier mutt named Tigger, he has been getting sick his whole life & having these episodes. He starts shaking & can barely move, he also throws up. It’s pretty sad to see him go through that & after watching a documentary called “Pet Fooled” our family decided maybe it was a better option for Tigger if we made his own food. I think anyone can make food for their dogs with a little effort, I mean I’m only 15 & I wrote this whole recipe out for you. Also please don’t be afraid to change up the recipe & give different vegetables & meat to your dogs, preferably ones they like. Also miss KZfaqr it would be pretty cool if you could add this recipe to your description or just pin the comment. Thanks for reading & please critique or interpret this recipe anyway you like.

When I got my first dog in the third grade, I expected to buy the kibble but my Mexican family was like no he's a part of the family he eats what we're going to eat. He ended up living off of my grandma's chicken veggie soup his whole life, he completely loved it and I'm proud to say that aside from the annual shots, he never went to the vet for any illness. Even when he was passing of old age, he still looked/acted young and his coat never really lost his color. He couldn't see me graduate but I spent 15 wonderful years next to a super healthy dog. Fast forward half a year after his passing and I was gifted a new puppy. When I took her to the vet at two months, I explained to them that I was feeding her the same like my previous dog and they berated me for doing that, told me to at least give her kibble until 1 year old she she could have a balanced diet growing up. She hated it, even when I would splurge on the high-end kibble. I would mix it with the soup and she wouldn't touch the kibble, only lick around it. Now that the year is up I am trying to get back to looking up recipes like these, we're a couple of weeks in and she cleans the plate now, she loves eating whole stuff 🎉

I am glad you mentioned that you’d never force a vegan diet upon your dog. Personally I believe dogs need both meat and veggies!

I just make my dog a scrambled egg once in a while, and he thinks that’s luxury, man , what am I doing

I have to say, from one “ doggy parent” to another , this is the cutest video I’ve ever watched on KZfaq!!!!! Seriously!!!! I’m a single dog dad. I live alone , just me and my pride and joy... Bella. She’s a Cocker Spaniel and my World revolves around hers!!!! You girlie and stunningly beautiful and sweet and Miss Maddy is a doll! I just love the two of you together. And yes, I agree with your sub-title about the “ baby talk”, it’s it’s own language around my house- if you come over and thinks it’s ridiculous.... there’s the door!!! Lol the people that get it, DEFINITELY know!!!! Anyway, my compliments to you two are 1 million % legit and since I’m off tomorrow it’s cooking day with my baby. We are gonna make this together tomorrow along with some all natural treats for her and I’ll definitely let you know how crazy Bella gets over her new food!!!! Lol you two are AMAZING!!!! I hope you guys have a long and happy life together!!!! 🐶😁😁 thank you for a GREAT video!!!!

I love how she cares about her dog she makes me feel that I am not alone in worrying about what my dog eats

Just a note: Your sweet little furbaby will get even better nutrition out of the food you give her if you steam the veggies, instead of boiling them. Boiling the veggies, cooks a huge amount of nutrients out of them. Since I started steaming all the veggies for my little sweetie pie, she is in even better health, having benefitted greatly from the extra nutrients. I ADORE you and your babygirl together. What a great team and I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!!!

Instead of peeling the sweet potatoes and boiling (you lose alot of nutrients in the water) try leaving skin on, poking a few holes and baking them! Retains ALL the nutrients and peeling is a breeze coming from the oven😊😊

I believe dogs live longer eating fresh foods opposed to eating processed foods. That is how they get digestive problems and cancers. I’ve been into cooking for dogs since 2005 everyone thought I was nuts go figure

I do almost exactly the same thing, but I add some eggs, cauliflower and a little bit more rice into the mix. And right when I'm serving it to my dogs I add a table spoon of Greek yogurt and some organic blueberries, my dogs love it.

The way you carry her is so loving. I wish every dog could feel the type of love you give to Maddy. ❤️🐾❤️

I've been feeding my 13 year old Westie homemade most of his life and he has the health and energy of a dog half his age!! Processed dog food is FULL of carcinogenics and is killing our pets 5-6 years before their time!!

As a pet nutritionist, I respect this and support you completely.

My dog passed away at 9 years old and he was fed only dry kibble throughout his life. He was sick one week and got better then the next week he became sick and died the next day. I truly truly believe that healthy nutrient rich food is important!! I since then have gotten a puppy and have started to expand my knowledge on dog food and even treats. Thank you for this video!!

This is perfect and makes complete sense. you know exactly what your puppy is getting. I like that still has a bit of texture and not mush so they can chew.

I made this today and my two dogs loved it. I mean licking the floor under their bowl loved it! I added Lima beans and a tad of beef broth. Thank you for sharing! I made enough for 2 dogs for 12 days for $17.00!

I think I’m gonna start cooking healthy food for my dogs too. I had the misconception of home made food will make your dogs sick and stomach issues. One of my dogs don’t like the dry food in ANY way and with nothing lol 😂 🙈, poor thing. Now I know home made healthy food it’s ok and better. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recipe. Wonderful and well behaved dog🥰

I’m so glad you take the time out of your day to give your dog the best food and life possible 🥰

I just made this recipe for my dog today, he’s a 1 year old dorkie (mini yorkie and dachshund) and he’s in LOVE. I used brown rice tho and I made 4 cups of it to mix in with everything. And surprisingly with how much he loves it, this is the only cooked food he doesn’t try to scarf down. He actually takes his time and enjoys it!! Makes me so happy!

I cooked also for my dog, I used quinoa, brown rice, pumpkin, carrots, broccoli, sweet potato, turmeric, liver or turkey. Thank you for your video.

Oops i think ur dog is more healthier than me.😐

Dogs become your family. They love u more then most family members do

There should be more videos like this . Thanks for sharing . I love the relationship you have with you fur baby! I definitely loved this recipe for my puppy

I love how much you love Maddy! Every dog deserves an owner like you. Thanks for this recipe 😊

Just a suggestion... I make about the same amount of food once a week for my two dogs. I use most of the same veggies but replace the sweet potatoes with canned pureed pumpkin. Lower in calories and sugar... super high in nutrients. Went to home made when I realized I couldn't pronounce nearly any of the ingredients! Good job! Really cute puppy.😊

Thank you so much for all the info and everything I’m getting a dog soon so I really want to make homemade meals for the dogs because I like cooking plus I feel like it’ll be fun and you’re dog is just the cutest ever 🥺

awww 🥰 what a little cutie!!! She waited so patiently!! 😆 my dog does not like dog food at all and I’ve been so depressed because he’s not eating much, thank you soooo much I’m gonna try this!

Thank you so much for uploading this. I have been struggling with 2 poms that do not want to eat can or kibble. I even bought a dog food cooking book but it was too many things and they ended up not eating after 2 weeks. The recipe you show up they totally love it. Thank you!!

Glad to see someone else makes their own food too! I’ve been doing something similar for years now. Mines not allergic to their kibble, so I make mine as “wet food”. Mine gets protein (turkey, chicken....) bag of frozen veggies (it does have the sodium that canned veggies usually has), but then I add a filler, rice or lentils. Sometimes I’ll make mine the tomato sauce sometimes not. I’ll add this mix to their kibble, if it doesn’t have the tomato sauce, then I’ll add a little bit of water when I put this with their dry food they like the flavored water that it makes.

Great information. Her sweet dance and whine at the end had my heart. So sweet!

Wow ! The first homemade food video Ive watched that does not make me cringe and fearful . Key bonus points in my opinion. Very little rice if at all. Portions of protein to veggies. Dogs are carnivores by nature. Their balanced diets are not our balanced diets. No salted canned items including broth. You did not cook the food for hours. You cooked each item separate then combined. My only suggestions is when switching to homemade limit ingredients, especially if allergies are an issue. just like a baby introduce items slowly, keep a journal. Feed limited ingredients for a couple of weeks and watch for issues. If an issue arises see if you have added something new and remove it . Once allergies are triggered it may take months to resolve. You can always go back and try the item again. I have cooked for 3 dogs for over 5 years. all 3 allergic to chicken( this is very common) No sweet potato for 2, 1 no bananas. A journal really helps here. Huge kudos to you girl !

You did such a great job on this video. Thank you! Maddie was so sweet too.

The video shows that u have soo much affection towards yur dog, nice!

I love this video so much! So adorable and thank you for sharing your recipe!

Thanks for this healthy dog food recipe! I will check out that documentary!

Maddy is ADORABLE. I took notes on everything. This is super. Thank you! And i love how clean , spacious and organized your kitchen was to watch! Excited to try on my little girl Wish!

That's so beautiful🐶 I cook for my dog too🐕 My dogs live 17 to 20 years🐆

So glad I found this video. My poodle ate everything and really enjoyed it. He doesnt really like dry food. Thank you so much for this video, you will be a great mom💙

Thank you for sharing this awesome way for my precious Chase to eat from now on...gone will be his tear stains! LOVE your tip to cook all in a slow cooker!!! God bless you and your precious Maddie.❤️🙏

Too cute! Thanks for sharing, Im researching to start doing this for my 10 month old pup

I’ve been cooking my dogs food for a long time now. Our recipe has 2 types of meat and 2 veggies. It’s heavier on the meat end. I’ve given her the seaweed calcium too but changed to whole sardines as a snack. Our dog also hangs out in the kitchen when I cook for her 😆

I Love how sweet and kind you are with your dog. I treat my dog the same.😊

Hey, if you ever run short on your calcium that you buy, you can also take eggshells and rinse them off and dry them. Then grind them into a powder. Put about 1/4 teaspoon into one serving or bowl of food. It is an excellent source of calcium.

Love this!! Ive been giving my dog farmers dog (its home-cooked fog food delivery) but im switching over to cooking it myself. Your dog is so cute and this video helped me!

I watched a few of these videos 5 months ago and started doing it for my dog. He is doing great. Loves his food and can’t wait to eat it. He used to have stomach issues but they are gone and he is putting on healthy weight, he was always a little too skinny. Lots of energy and a total overall improvement. The expensive dry food wasn’t cutting it anyway. I purposely tracked down this video to comment as it was this recipe I followed and wanted to say it thanks. It really did make a difference for my dog. I will continue to do this and share my experience with other people as well.

I cook my dog homemade food everyday I love it. And he is much happier.

I tried this today and am really HAPPY! My dogs loved it! I never saw her eat all her food! Thank you!

Thank you so much!! I have just recently begun diving into the research on this & it has been quite overwhelming! So much contradictory information & so much misinformation! This video has been super helpful. 💜

Thank you for these simple instructions. Really enjoyed the video and will be making my own food from now on

Thankyou so much I will be doing this recipe too.

Thanks for sharing this with us ! What a great person! And adorable puppy 😍 so happy that u love her so much!!! ❤

I really have the pickiest dog, I cannot find food that she likes for more than 2 weeks. I'm excited to try this recipe, hopefully she likes it

Girly girl and a pet lover. Never related to someone so much in my life ever

Wow! Thank you so much! I’m excited to start her first batch 👍❤️🤗

I love that you don't force your food choices in your dog, love this, thank you I needed help lol you are a blessing!!!

Omg this melted my heart

It's really strange how videos like this pop up when you're just "thinking" of it. I decided yesterday to start making homemade dog food for my baby after issues with store bought foods! Thank you for sharing this info! And ignore all the negative Nellie complainers on here. God Bless! ☺

Finshed making my first batch this week. My boys LOVE IT!!!

I just found this video and tried the recipe today. We have two little 11 year old Maltese pups and they gobbled their food! This is much more economical and healthier to cook rather than pay $10/small package of food that lasts 4 days. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Oh my goodness, this is perfect! Thank you so much for this video - so informative & completely respect your decisions! My rescue dog will be here in a couple weeks and he is already 8. Therefore, I want to make sure I'm feeding him a healthy diet to prolong his life

My first dog I didnt know any better and fed her crap store bought dog food and she was sickly and died at 13 from Cushing's... When I got my other pups after her I had learned from my mistakes... So I have fed them with veggies...rice and meat... They are 12 and healthy and energetic... Their dr cant believe how healthy they are... Recently one of my pups had a rotten tooth which resulted in a horrible swollen lymphs on his neck... So I began to give them moringa in the morning and diatomaceous earth at night and his inflammation went down 100% in 3 weeks... Plus any other health issues were cleared up 100%! The dr was amazed!

Oh my gosh! I just love your little dog! So fun to watch your video. I'm heading out to get these ingredients to cook for my little one.

LOL! 😂 She's obedient, so adorable. 🤗 She really won't touch the food when Mum says wait 😆

She is gorgeous 😍😍, and I actually made this to my dog. He liked it!

I cook for my dog as well. Just boil everything together ( the meat, veggies, and the rice) in one big pot with a little bit of water. I use regular pot, like the one you prepare your meat in. No fuss! Simple, and better than any commercial dog food.

Thank you for the inspiring idea! Loved seeing Mattie!

I learned something and absolutely LOVED you and your sweet baby. What a team! Thank you.

I cook for my dog to but I use eggshell powder that I make from ground up eggshells. I put them in a baking pan and cook them in the oven for 3-4 minutes at 300 degrees to kill the bacteria then I cool them and grind them in a coffee bean grinder, I only use the grinder for eggshell. You should rinse and dry them before putting in the oven. I also use a fine sieve after I grind them to catch larger pieces and re-grind them. Eggshell is very high in calcium. 1/2 tsp per2 cups of food.

She is sooo adorable....love to see your bonding with your four legged furry friend...bless u both...lots of love from India😍😘😘

I’ve been doing homemade food for over a year now and the results are clear. My dogs have more energy, beautiful coat, poop less ( there is research now supporting this). I also love seeing how excited they are when I’m cooking. It’s such a rewarding experience. Also, I never had issues with chicken for my dogs. I use lean ground beef or ground turkey and I cut up pieces of chicken breast. They are doing great with it

Thank you!! I had been meaning to look at ways to make dog food and you simplified this so well- definitely feels doable. Thank you for the written recipe- that’s super helpful :) and please let me know about the instant pot- I’d love to know how that goes, thanks again! 🐾

I could eat your dog’s food, I love all those ingredients and it looks delicious 😊

I loved watching this! Thank you for taking time to explain some things you discovered during your research. I was very surprised to hear the staining around the eyes was from the dyes in kibble. Wow. Your doggie is precious. :)

She is so adorable!! That was the cutest moment!!

She’s a precious little fur ball ♥️

My Boston has never seen kibble. Meat and veg. He's so muscular and shiny. 33 lbs of amazingness

your 🐶 obeys you. he is well trained. he is a good boy😘😘

Thank you so much for your information

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. I am going to start cooking for my dog but I did not know how or what to do. I love this recipe. You're a genius!!!!

Great video!! The music was a little distracting especially when you were explaining in the beginning but it was all good info. I want to start cooking my dogs food for the month so this video was helpful. Please do an updated one if you have more than one recipe! Subscribed

Oh my, i just finished making this recipe and my tiny picky eater yorkie loves it so much! Thank you for sharing. 🐶

Awwww love the pup

This recipe is beyond perfect! We made for my little Jake, an 8 month old 11.5 pound Golden Doodle awesomeness and he LOVED it! His first taste was off of the wooden spoon I used to cook it and he almost ate the spoon as well. To say he adores it is a massive understatement! He licks the bowl, around the bowl, underneath the bowl and then, hours later he goes and licks again the already licked bowl. Makes me laugh and so very happy at the same time. I am forever grateful to you for sharing this with us. Thank you! I followed the exact quantities you suggested and the only concern I have is that I do not know how much to feed Jake. I portioned his servings to 3/4 cup per meal and he has 2 meals a day. But he seems to always want more. Only twice we gave him an additional 3/4 cup on top of his regular 3/4 of a cup and he ate it all, and still seemed to want more. I think that that would be too much for him. Maybe switching him to 1 cup per meal would be a great idea? He is a bit on the skinny side of things as he is still growing. Happy, healthy and with tons of energy. We were told he should be around 20-23 pounds fully grown and he is at 11.5 almost 12 not at 8 months old. Any suggestions you might have would be highly recommended! Thank you! And much love to you and your furry baby! About to do my second batch this week, this time half salmon, half veal. He will probably start thinking he is dining at a really fine restaurant! Haha

omg she's so cute I'm dying!

She is so cute. My dog is small and is having dog food issues, I’m going to be making him his food too see if he stops throwing up. Great recipe.

I'm a new Siberian Husky mommy of 2 months old and NEVER owned a pet before, so I'm doing research of what is best for my dog. Im also transitioning to plant based but agree with you on not making a decision for your pet on food. Anyways, thank you for this vid! So informational and will slightly do this recipe to see if my dog loves it. Currently, I have her on puppy Pedigree pebbles for 1 month now and some days shes okay on her stool and sometimes diarrhea. Will keep you updated.

This video is a blessing! My Maltese puppy is such a picky eater, so I’m definitely going to talk to her veterinarian regarding home made food!

Her dog eats better than me 😂

I fed my dog pedigree and Purina for 10+ years n the previous owner as well and lived to be 15/16 he was a Pekingese.

Love your videos......thank you for educating us. Will do ! ❤️🌹❤️

This was awesome thank you!

She is adorable! ❤️

Oh my gosh your dog is adorable. Great video. I will be trying this recipe.

Just made this recipe for my Chihuahua Mix. She loves it. Thanks!

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO I've been making this for my dog ever since I watched your video , my dog unto have hot spots dry skin and flaky skin. I started to Make this and my dog has never been so healthy until now thank you so much!

Thanks for this recipe! So glad to see ground turkey because my pups LOVE ground turkey. I am going to try this as a prepped freezer meal for sure.

Is there a reason you dont add any fruit? I do almost the same recipe but add uncooked bananas or shredded pineapple as superfruits (sometimes fresh raw seeded cherries and blueberries for inflammation and joint health)and put a whole small sized turkey, bones and all, with yams and kale in the slow cooker overnight. The bones turn to mush and they get the benefit of the marrow. That all goes in the food processor with fruit and grated fresh ginger root. I also sprinkle probiotics/acidophilus/bifidus on each warm meal and occasionally Spirulina. I have 2 hairless Chinese Cresteds so good nutrition is critical for skin and health. Thx for sharing your routine. Showing how easy it is will hopefully encourage more pet parents to make changes.

My Sadie girl loved it!

❤ thank you for your recipe! You little Dog is sooo sweet!
