My Shih Tzu has pancreatitis and I have made her food since she was 8 weeks old. I use only chicken (breasts and thighs skinless cut into 2 inch pieces) because she can't have too much fat. I use 3 1/2 cups of water to simmer the chicken, carrots (I use regular carrots because the "baby" carrots are bleached), celery, sweet peas and Lima beans to season the water (she LOVES the creamy Lima beans). Once the chicken is cooked through, I take it out to cool, and take out the veggies and place them in ice water to stop the cooking and preserve as much vitamins as I can. I add 1 cup of brown rice and 1/3 cup of dried cranberries to the water. I process the chicken, then the veggies when cooled, and the rice is done in about 45 min. The rice is still soupy so I also add 2 pkgs of plain instant oatmeal. This is enough food for about 14 days, being fed 1/3 cup twice a day. Today she is 12 years old and still runs and jumps like a puppy! She had maintained her 14 lb weight all her life and the vet says to keep doing what we are doing because her yearly check ups have been perfect. Next time I am going to add eggs to her mixture as you suggested. Thanks for putting this video out there!

[@1antiquejunkietc355]

Yes he has. As I because to many dogs ESPECIALLY die at early ages now from messed up don't even know what's in some of dry foods. To the meal etc products by products crap? Lots have changed over the years. Also many of the bigger brands are stating changes to theirs as well. But 1st when I started my research Blue buffalo to the Hills Science which vets highly recommend to try and even Sale. Some bad batches of both of these we're killing dogs. I've yet to use either one. Causes cancer at early ages. Not cool. Yet seems many are trying to step up their game too.

[@Hayzeus290]

@@1antiquejunkietc355 what do you think about natures recipe wet/dry food

[@susanmurrell635]

Research what goes into. kibble and I' m sure you'll be horrified....absolutely disgusting. And the extreme high heat that they have to use causes cancer causing end products called A.G.E.'s. Don't remember right now what they stand for but you can research it. There are no good kibble or canned foods. The only healthy way to feed your dogs are raw or lightly cooked fresh whole foods - human grade and organic if you can especially with the blueberries, or other fruits and vegetables. Dogs don't have the digestive enzymes to digest vegetables and fruit. In the wild the fruit and vegetables they ate were already partially digested in the guts of their prey. But in the summer, wolves will eat some wild growing blueberries.

[@susanmurrell635]

There are some raw freeze dried organic foods that maintain the original nutrients that are OK to feed but they are made by some holistic vets who were looking for something healthy and easy they good feed their dogs and their clients dogs. Their clients were looking for food they could trust.

[@alicia0223]

It’s so cute how much they enjoy their meals.

[@deejay6016]

This looks really good! Glad the pups love it. In 2005, there were a lot of dogs that died from dog food made in China or with ingredients sourced from China. It prompted me to make their own food. Not only do they love it, I know exactly what ingredients are in their food. I usually just use one type of protein though per cooking and switch it up every week with a different protein. Sometimes I add chicken liver to the protein. For vegetables, I switch it around as well each week: green beans, carrots, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, chards, peas. For carbs, potatoes, sweet potatoes. I also make my own chicken broth. I used to buy them until I discovered it has onions/onions concentrate in it.

[@earthling1984]

Good for you! Happy dogs! Yes you can use whatever store bought or homemade broth you want (or use just water). Some vets say tiny amounts of onion and garlic are actually beneficial. But online, you'll find conflicting info on any topic. In the final meals, the amount of onion is miniscule. My dog is 13 years old now. Never been sick or injured his whole life. Acts like a crazy puppy still. And still has sharp white teeth equal to a 3 or 4 year old dog. I also make homemade healthy treats (see my dog treat playlist).

[@earthling1984]

Just wanted to add. Get those organ meats in there. Livers, tripe, kidneys, etc.. Also bones and calcium are important. My dog will eat half a raw chicken, or whole cornish hen, bones and all. Never feed cooked bones, only raw. If you don't want to feed bones, save all your egg shells. I just smash them up in my meals, but you can dry them and blend them up to a powder to add to the food.

[@everythingmelanin7728]

I started making natural dog food for my dog and she loves it. She's a Jack/CHI mix. I got tired of her eating the food from the stores and realizing it's not really healthy no matter how much you pay. I buy big bags of chicken breast. I'm still new to the whole thing, but my dog is doing well on it.

Best dog food video I have ever seen. Thanks

[@bobbysweeney5377]

My dogs were an absolute mess with what the vets all said was just how they'd be forever so he prescribed apoquel, which destroys their immune system longterm. I wouldn't accept that this was the situation because every dog I've had, over time, got like this. Scratching constantly, smells ears that would really bother them, gunky eyes, bad odor, etc. The vets all said after doing allergy tests that they're basically allergic to almost everything. Well, im aware that literally anything eaten causes an inflammatory response. What's important is "how much" of a response. After reading up on apoquel and how devastating it is long-term, and watching them suffer anyways after awhile, I HAD to figure this out. So I've been cooking fresh foods just as you do, and really making sure they were provided adequate micro and macronutrients. This seemed to help a great deal. I weaned them off of the apoquel but also knew there was something im missing that has to be the root cause. I needed to assess, "Why can't they properly process food and not have it attack them in every way?" And "What could affect it all?" Then it all started to click when I ran out of bottled water for myself and went to take a drink from the tap. It smelled like chlorine and chemicals. I have city water and its treated heavily. I did some KZbin research and an expert in the field of water treatment said that no matter what, if you are smelling the chemicals in your water, they are most likely overtreating your water, because it has too high of bacteria! 😲💡Them treating the water, was also killing the good bacteria in their guts and intestines! It would be like taking prednisone forever! I immediately shut it down as a drinking source, started providing good clean, lightly mineralized water and got them started on a broad spectrum of pre & probiotics. Its only been a month so far but they are but they are both doing soo much better that its incredible! I can't wait to see in a few months after their gut biome is abundantly thriving! Im sorry to end this on a sad note but the message is too important. My mother lived in this house. For years and years, she had inflammatory issues that wrecked her health and no doctors could figure it out. Also, her immune system was shot. The only thing that helped, was when I got her on a ketogenic diet, and only because it was all super low inflammatory foods. She got blood tests and somehow now showed zero markers for both autoimmune diseases, rheumatory arthritis, and lupus. Over a few months time, magically two clean blood tests! She was becoming healthier and more energetic than any of us had seen in probably 15-20 years! But still her immune system was bad. I think I know why now. 😔 She contracted covid last year alongside my father. He got better, and she got pneumonia and was hospitalized. She fought hard for 5 weeks but it was so hard on her, and after a few egregious errors by the hospital as well, she passed away. Even in poor health, she loved these dogs and tried for a long time to make them better but nobody could ever figure it out, just like her health. You'd sometimes see her sitting with them crying quietly over feeling helpess for them. If she could see them now, she would be bawling with joy, and I can't help but wonder, if I could have figured this out sooner and maybe gotten her stomach healthy as well, maybe she'd be here to. Moral of the story, if your pets or even family members are dealing with inflammatory issues, allergies of any kind, or immune system problems in general, go to the gut. That good bacteria keeps us alive and healthy in every way. If it dies, so do we. And if you drink city water that's chemically treated, remember this and take action. Especially if you can smell or taste it. Best wishes to you all. Take care.

[@mavericks2k811]

@@earthling1984 Agreed! Thanks for keeping it basic and budget

[@deetorres7568]

I thought cooking their meats canceled the nutrients... That's what my dog trainer told me. I feed my dog raw meat as it represents their environment in the wilderness and makes sense that it would be less nutritious. As for veggies we peel it and give her the shredding from carrots, sweet potatoes and other veggies including left overs. For breakfast we give her a raw egg with the smashed shell for calcium and a little fruit and for dinner raw meat and veggies. She is now 7 and slowing down so I've been questioning the dry dog food I add to her meals. I'm looking for another option or to remove it all together. Thanks for your video.

[@earthling1984]

People often get a lot of bad / mis information online. I actually feed my dog raw meat and bones as well. As for cooking, the loss of nutrients depends how it is cooked, for how long, etc... By cooking in liquid/water, it ensures the temperature never gets over 212 degrees. Whereas cooking meat on a hot 500 degree cast iron pan or grill would be different. That being said, humans survive on mostly all cooked food. The nutrients are not like just gone... Think of how healthy we think a quality broth or bone broth is. That is cooked for sometimes more than a day. Yet we get all those nutrients from it. Raw dog foods also need to be frozen, then thawed before feeding. Kind of how all sushi (at least in the USA) is never 'fresh'. It is required by law to be frozen at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time before being thawed and served. This is to kill off potential bad things in the meat. And you know what freezing does? It also destroys nutrients. The basic point is, almost everything is better than burnt to a crisp kibble. For sure give some homemade meals a try! Ditch the kibble! My dog is 12 years old now, never been sick or injured his whole life, and still acts like a puppy.

[@lyons11siren]

When it’s done cooking, I scoop out the amount I’ll need to feed my dogs. I evenly spread that amount directly onto a clean cookie sheet and I set it aside to cool. It’s usually cool within 10 mins. It’s better than waiting 2 hours for a big pot of food to cool.

[@earthling1984]

I always make more food, when I still have food left from the last batch. So, there is no rush.

[@Exhaustedmom313]

This is the best recipe I've encountered to far. I been seeing ppl use very little meat and mostly veggies. My dog might eat us if I fed her that.

[@dirtangel1518]

Fyi... Recipe for amazing dog treats... Pre-heat oven to 370° One cup, almond flour One cup, oatmeal flour One cup, mixed seed flour (flax, sunflower, walnut) One cup of broth (your choice)... Two eggs (whole, shells blended in blender) One heaping cup of peanut butter or half and half cashew butter. Mix together all dry ingredients, slowly adding in wet ingredients until a soft dough forms... Cut dough in four quarters keeping three quarters in bowl with damped cloth over... Roll out each quarter in long logs until desired width is obtained which would consist of bite sized chunks! Cut each treat into About 1 inch long for larger dogs and shorter for smaller dogs! Using a sharp knife cutting sections intil log is all cut, then placing on a cookie sheet and continuing this process until all the dough is used up. Bake each batch until lightly browned and very crispy. *I also make variations of this recipe, replacing the nut butter with small chunks of meat (diced small), and a can of tuna, with bacon fat... As well as liver cooked, diced small making a gravy from the drippings and adding this to the treat recipe. As long as the ratio of meat and flavorings are more than the dough this is a *hit*... healthy, wholesome, and dogs love these treats even as meal suppliments. Add some pumpkin to this and you have a complete meal! However these require refrigeration. Enjoy and have fun exparimenting...

Great recipe, but why use pork, as some dogs don't have the enzyme needed to digest it, and get really ill from even a small amount of pork. Also, I'd suggest making your own broth from scratch; all store-bought broth has sodium in it to preserve it at room temperature. Some has more, some has less, but all have it. If you make your own in a huge stock pot, you can freeze the excess and have completely sodium-free food. Otherwise, great vid!

@@earthling1984 oh no it's all good the organic kroger brand simple truth doesn't have any onion concentrate

[@chrisparfel]

I'm not mad at this whatsoever, you could probably add chicken feet to the mix and possibly add the egg shells to help break them down i'm not mad at this whatsoever, you could probably add chicken feet to the mix and possibly add the egg shells to the mixture before the eggs to help break them down in the sauce.

Hello first time visitor you mention u made two weeks of good? Do u freeze any of that, or will it still be good in two weeks. Thank you.

[@earthling1984]

Yes, I freeze some and fridge some. I discuss this at 8:10.

Thank you for this video, if I may ask, with this diet how is their stool?

[@earthling1984]

Normal healthy stools.

[@abundantangel6376]

Why the vegetables?

What do you feed your dogs at the other meals?

[@stephanyzooegarcia4913]

This look amazing! I would just feed my dogs raw bones as well for a balanced diet.

[@earthling1984]

I feed raw as well :)

[@hannahbartlett.]

How much would you recommend feeding a 75 lb Australian shepherd? He is four years old

[@earthling1984]

The general rule is 2 to 5 percent of dogs body weight per day. Depends on age, breed, activity level, etc.. 3% is a good starting point.

[@elizabethwelcher3952]

Does that broth have onion added in the ingredients? I’ve been looking for one without it and I’m pretty sure that brand does so I’ve avoided it.

[@earthling1984]

You can use homemade broth. Other bought broth. Or just water.

[@priceandpride]

what do you think about ziwi?

[@thecluelessoutdoorsman916]

Oatmeal and rice is terrible for my dog. What can I use as a substitute?

[@earthling1984]

Tapioca, Quinoa, or others. Or, just strain the mixture at the end. You also can use water instead of broth.

[@pattischmitz2680]

How do you know how much to feed a dog a day.. I have a mini golden doodle he weighs 34 pounds.. Also, is there a video showing what dogs need everyday? Been trying every dog food imaginable for 2 years.. he hated them all .. he is 2 in a half years old..thank you

[@earthling1984]

General rule for home cooked dog food is 2 to 5 percent of dogs body weight per day; depending on age, breed, activity level, etc. 3% is a good starting point. As for what dogs need, you will find all types of people giving all types of random advice. I just feed a well rounded diet. I feed homemade food like this (made slightly different every time to get different nutrients), raw meat and bones, and I make homemade dehydrated muscle and organ meat jerky for treats. Once or twice a month I give a can of high quality wet dog food, just to make sure my dog gets all the added vitamins and minerals, etc. in case I missed something in his diet. But really, people way over think dog food. Get some meat and healthy for dog veggies, and you are pretty much good to go. Use some fish from time to time as well.

I've made a variation of this today, my boy absolutely wolfed it down. So happy to see him eating a full meal and not just eating because he has to. Thank you for your knowledge!

[@quandacooper]

For 8 years it has been a struggle for me to get my picky Yorkie to eat. I found your page last week, went straight to the store and cooked this the same day…my buddy has been eating two meals a day for a whole week now!! HE HAS NEVER DONE THAT!! No more sick on his stomach issues from not eating! THANK YOU!!

[@earthling1984]

So happy to hear! Thanks for the comment and good luck with your pup!

[@heatherleelovejoy9690]

Which recipe did you try first?

[@earthling1984]

@@heatherleelovejoy9690 Well all my recipes are my own creation. I usually do a mixture of a couple types of muscle meat with some organ meat as well. Then I add in the eggs and shells (if you want you can grind the shell is a coffee / herb grinder), some veggies, and some thickening ingredient like rice, oatmeal, tapioca, or quinoa.

[@quandacooper]

@@heatherleelovejoy9690 I made the one in this video: Chicken livers, chicken gizzards, ground turkey, boneless pork chop, sweet potatoes, carrots, brown rice, unsalted red kidney beans, unsalted green beans and unsalted beef broth. (I didn’t do the raw eggs…I was a little nervous he wouldn’t eat it)

I lived in Mexico as a child, and I NEVER saw anyone feed their dog kibble. Dogs would eat same food as their human owners!

[@senovionieves1536]

Idk why but the dogs in mexico don't get sick when I was little we gave them anything we can afford and never heard of kibble and the dogs usually sir of old age

[@vibhaspalding6457]

Hi no disrepect to anyone here, but should the gogs not have raw veggies. I give raw veggies, as she loves chewing food. I do boil chicken for her. But do not normally give her any cooked veggies. Also we do not normally feed our food as it contains salt and some sort of tasty bits like chillies, onion, garlic etc. We are getting off kibble, that is what the breeder gave. We continued for a while with mixture of fresh meat and veggies eggs, coconut oil, oats, salmon oil. We are gradually getting away from kibble. She is nine months, so by the time she is 11 months, she will hardly have any kibble. She does not seem to mind, as not fussy eater. Just loves all foods. Bur keeping them healthy is our job.

[@yashsharma1280]

The same thing happens in INDIA bro here people feed milk,youghart,bread especially in North INDIA

[@meadowsmama9423]

@@vibhaspalding6457 you can feed them raw or cooked veggies. Raw are suppose to have more nutrients but they’re healthy either way garlic is toxic to dogs as well so good call

[@vibhaspalding6457]

@@meadowsmama9423 i do not feed garlic at all. This is why i said we do NOT feed our food as it has salt, onions, garlic, chillies etc. I cook her special food from boiled chicken and fresh raw veggies. I havevrecently cooked meat with some veggies, like sweet potato and parsnips. She will not eat raw parsnips, cabbage or spinach. But raw carrots, broccoli, sprouts, peas, edame, cauliflour is fine with her. Always learning to keep her healthy.

[@dogadopter4life104]

Nothing more satisfying than hearing your dogs enjoying home-made food. That sound makes me love cooking for mine.

[@mineandmine4528]

So true. My staffie would burp by me to let me know that he enjoyed his meal 🍽️ 😂
