Cooking My Dog A Gourmet Meal

We don't deserve dogs. They are so incredibly kind to us. So grateful for everything we do for them. But I don't understand how they could possibly enjoy the food we give them. It's dry. Boring. I'm not saying we shouldn't be grateful for our food. But try to imagine eating the SAME exact thing, every single day. That's why I cooked my dog, Leo, a gourmet three-course meal.
Course 1: Shaved Apple and Carrot Salad
Course 2: T-Bone Steak with Apple Cider Glaze and Microgreens
Course 3: Peanut Butter and Banana Ice Cream

Fun fact: dogs don’t have as many taste receptors as we humans, meaning that when they eat their food they’re are always as excited as the first time they ate it or just as excited as we get when we eat our favorite foods.

[@Oblivion4870]

Ahh, this brings back the last day I had with my first pupper. He had cancer, so my parents were going to put him down. The day before he left, I cooked him a three course meal too. Chicken bites for the appetizer, a whole 3 bone rack of lamb and broccoli for the main, and Banana icecream (he loved bananas so much) for dessert. He absolutely GORGED himself on everything like a king. Unfortunately it all came back up because it was just too much, but he still looked SO satisfied and content. Love you Buddy, hope you enjoyed it.

Hey Nick! First off, love your videos :) Second, be careful feeding Leo human food! Dogs can eat *some* kinds of human food, but if they eat too much fat , usually from human food(especially in one sitting), they can get something called pancreatitis. My dog got it a few weeks ago, it's very lethal and if you dont notice the signs immediately and bring them to a vet asap, they can die very easily or have permanent damage caused to their pancreas and other surrounding organs. Love the videos, stay safe and healthy :)

I have been thinking of getting my dog off of kibble, would you mind sharing what you put in your dog’s food when you cook for them?

[@GR8TDUCK]

@@alexisrelyea5709 I find protein (Usually chicken nowadays with crazy-high beef prices) On sale at the grocery or Costco and cook that with veggies. Some herbs like rosemary, basil, and ginger are fine for dogs to keep variety in their menu. I keep that in the fridge and do half kibble (Blue Mountain is great) for crunchiness. I usually find really good prices by watching sales on hormone/preservative-free chicken in bulk and freeze it.

[@HumptyDumper]

By seasonings do you mean herbs?? They’re actually insanely healthy for dogs! Rosemary and parsley (commonly found in store bought food/treats) are good for bad breath/digestion, cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar (in diabetic dogs), basil helps with brain function, ginger is good for nausea, etc! ☺️

Or you could try some hearty soup. By putting a mixture of vegetables, chicken stock,a bit of citrus and some water, you can make a soup, the thicker you want it to be, the more vegetables you could add.

[@gabriellaredfield6788]

Hey Nick, I’m a big fan!! I’m also a dog trainer, so I can spot when people make a mistake. Dogs CAN’T have seasoning. Especially spicy food. Spicy foods can be toxic for dogs and could cause stomach problems including pain, diarrhea, and gas. Also dogs CAN’T have lime. All parts of these green sour citrus fruits are toxic to dogs and can cause lime poisoning. I also saw some Apple Cider. Apple cider may be beneficial for dogs in small amounts, but too much cider can upset a dog's stomach, leading to stomach cramps, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea. It contains a lot of natural sugars which are not beneficial for dogs to consume. But besides that, your video is awesome!!
