Vet Approved homemade dog food recipe (This makes about 16 cups)
*I used a 10qt instant pot for this recipe
Ingredients:
-5-6 pounds of ground turkey
-7.5 ounces of pumpkin puree
-2T coconut oil
-2 sweet potatoes
-1 1/2C brown rice or white rice
-7oz of frozen spinach
- 4 carrots chopped
-12oz green beans
-12oz peas
-2C water
- 1/3C of beef liver chopped
-5t of calcium
optional: 1/4t of turmeric powder
Wash all veggies if using fresh and chop into small chunks. Add sweet potatoes and frozen veggies to instant pot, then rice, frozen spinach, meat, pumpkin puree, water, beef liver, and then ground chicken. Add lid to instant pot and pressure cook for 25-35 minutes on high. When timer goes off let sit for 5 minutes and then do a manual release. use masher gadget to get everything mashed and well mixed! I then add 5t of calcium. It tells you on the back of the calcium bottle how much to add per pound! 5t works perfect for this recipe. Serve to dogs warm so please allow time for it to cool before serving it to your pup! This recipe will last 3-4 days in the fridge. I freeze extras and take out of freezer to thaw the night before as needed. My dogs eat this recipe cold but feel free to heat it up if needed.

[@shirleysunshine3319]

Hi, I wanted to say thank you for this recipe Teddy my mixed breed Chihuahua was 20 lbs and could not jump on our sofa and he laid down to eat. After three months of nothing but this dog food he is now down to 18 lbs! We are going to feed him this forever just increase his serving once he reaches 15 lbs which is what the vet said his weight should be. This has made a huge difference in our dog's life!

[@rebeccazollman3570]

I enjoyed watching this. I started my homemade dog food journey 8 months ago after my 12 yr old, 60 lb mix was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Her vet said on average they will get 2 to 4 months after diagnosis if you choose not to go through chemo (with chemo they can get up to 15 months). I chose not to because of the side effects. She was in pretty bad shape at the time of diagnosis. She was loosing a lot of fur & weight, her remaining fur had turned dull and very course, where before it had been soft and shiny. Her eyes were very foggy and her red snout had turned all white. She started drinking a lot of water (it was as if she couldn't get enough). And then she started peeing the bed. She's on incurin (one tiny pill) a day which has her incontinence under control. The vet told me to just let her do what she loves, so I started giving her an egg in the morning, (because she loves eggs). Then at about a week I noticed some changes in her. Her eyes were clearing and her white snout started turning red again. And so began my research for homemade dog food. After discovering how bad store bought dry dog food is I stopped feeding it to her. For the last 8 months she's had only human grade food and the results have been undeniably positive! She gained some weight, grew back her fur, (which is soft again) and has more energy. Last month at her yearly checkup her vet said she was doing as well as a dog on chemo. But in my opinion better, because she doesn't have the side effects from chemo. I truly believe had I kept giving her the bagged dry food, she would not be with me today.

[@dianaashton3317]

Wonderful job on video. Have never used this crock pot I bought a year ago but will use now. I have been making homemade food for my dog for about a year, I freeze it by the week, so I am only cooking one a month.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful story. I don't blame you saying "NO to the Chemo". I went through that with my first service dog Brandy. After that horrible event (for me and Brandy) and $7,500 later, I swore I would NEVER put another dog through that. I have a little Beagle now and she is the love of my life. I started her on a homemade diet about 3 months ago and she loves it. I am so glad I stumbled on LoveLexiNicole's channel. I absolutely love her doggie recipes and, I love her doggies!😁🐶Take care Rebecca Zollman and Stay Safe.

Hello how are you doing

[@elizabethparedes3221]

Hello. I'm a retired Veterinary Technician of 25 yrs. I have always made fresh food for my pets (both dogs and cats), and they are healthier because of it. It's fantastic to see you and others thinking outside of the box. Kudos!! ~^..^~

[@crbeltranwd]

Hi, I am going to start cooking for my dog. How can I know how much protein, carbs, fats, etc to feed him daily?

[@treasuringpricelesstime5962]

How does one measure out the correct ratio of protein, carbs, veg, organs, etc. without knowing that it is just hard to know exactly what to buy.

[@Maincoonlover254]

With all these ingredients, how much does it cost to do this? Is it a weeks worth of food?

[@annpetersen7009]

@@Maincoonlover254 several years ago I cooked for my dog who had health issues. I did figure out the cost versus store bought. It actually came out to be only slightly less to make, but so much healthier. I bought the marked down (for quick sale) meat almost daily, and froze it. Saved a lot of money. Frozen vegetables from the “big box” store. I’d make a double batch every other weekend, portion serving size into ziplock bags, and freeze. Take two out at night to thaw. It’s simple, satisfying, and my dog loved it and I enjoyed the entire process. My recipe was very similar to this, less the pumpkin. I had laying hens back then and would crack one fresh raw egg on top a couple times a week.

I save my eggshells. I wash them and then cook them in the oven @ 400 degrees for 15 minutes on a cookie sheet. After they cool, I crumble them in a plastic bag. I then take them out and grind them in a coffee grinder that I bought just for this. This is how I give my dog calcium the natural way :) I also make homemade dog food. When it cools then I add the ground eggshells.

[@janis.T]

I started making my own dog food about 8 months ago. I have 3 dogs, one is 15 with dementia, one is 8 and the other 2. All mutts from the pound or found abandoned. The one with dementia is blind as well. The overall improvement is highly visual, all their coats are shiny and their teeth (I brush them) but the tartar build up decreased dramatically. I use a vast combo: ground chicken, turkey, beef, chicken or beef liver, most importantly is organ meat. Chicken gizzards, hearts and liver , brown rice, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes . The young one shed profusely on store bought food. Now it is minimal. The oldest was close to death last year. Had a few health scares. He can't see where he is going but runs nonetheless. LOL So glad you have so many followers because if a person has the time, it is crazy how the dogs will benefit.

[@Wellesly]

Thanks for that I cooked it and dog loves it Mixing different meat like turkey and chicken is it ok for them?

[@ShondaHector]

Wow. you sound like me. I had 4, but as of last week only 3. I too had a dog with dementia and I would describe her just the same. But it did eventually get to be too much. Her body was healthy although her anal glands seem to have a hard time healing. But her puppies treated her badly and wanted her out of the pack. The vet said it was normal. They started treating her badly over a year ago. She was always a nervous wreck due to them...which meant her quality of life was not good. It's all well now. The household feels normal with just dogs instead of feeling like they were taking over EVER MOMENT of my life while I tried juggling them all.

[@janis.T]

The 15 year old passed away. I firmly believe he lived longer on homemade dog food. I continue the food for the other dogs.

[@calvarylife]

@@janis.T you gotta be a dog lover to do what you do. I recently brought a maremma pup 8wks old but she suffers from being separated from her mother, is anxious, hides away all the time.

I have been making my senior dogs food for the past 2 years. I thought it was time for a change. And that's how I found your recipe. I followed the recipe and I am quite pleased with the outcome. (so is my Charlie). I will continue to use your recipe for a while the only change I made was the following. I added hemp hearts and the reason I did that was they contain 10 G of plant protein 12 G of Omega-3s and six and all nine essential amino acids I also added ground flax. One tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains 37 calories, 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat (includes the omega-3 fatty acids), 0.5 gram of monounsaturated fat and 2 grams of dietary fiber. I also add chia seeds they're great for 11 G of fiber plus they become gelatinous when they are wet, so they help to hold the food together. I also like to add at least one red or purple fruit. I generally add blueberries for an antioxidant. The seeds, I add 3teaspoons of each. The blueberries, I add 1 bag frozen at the end while the food is cooling, otherwise they turn everything purple. So there you have it. Thanx for caring, and thanx for the new recipe.

I'm going on 3years with Charlie's diet. Charlie is a Chitzu poodle cross and is about 13 years, he is a rescue, I have had him for 8 years. He was maybe 5 or six when I got him. Before the homemade food he had huge issues with urgent poohs, vomiting, and skin issues. He is well now, he can't see , and he has earing issues but overall he is good. I hope to have im for a long time to come. I love him very much.

[@picklesmiles8083]

Where do I look for the hemp heart?

[@dvdgalutube]

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, even human can't digest plant based omega 3 efficiently. Human can only get 20%-30% omega 3 from plants unlike animal omega 3 which is way more bio-absorbable to human. This is just how our digestive system be able to breakdown those nutrients from plants. Therefore, I'm not sure how efficient would have been for dogs.

Their fur looks so healthy, you can tell the homemade food is really helping them

[@bluefernlove]

Just a quick note. The liver should be mildly cooked (it denatures "cooks" really fast) so doing that in a pan separately takes seconds and you keep more of the heat sensitive nutrients.

[@LoveLexyNicole]

Thanks for the tip!

[@utube0372]

@@LoveLexyNicole hi there, I just found your channel today and I’m so glad I did. My two small breed dogs have been having yeast issues for the last 5 months, smelly paws , brown smelly gunk from their ears so I’ve been considering cooking their food cuz their dry store brand food isn’t helping...and sadly our vet just prescribes ear drops, so can I use these ingredients for dogs suffering from yeast issues ? Thank you!

[@melblacke5726]

This is a good tip about not overlooking your organ meats. As I understand it, mixed organ meats are a a real necessity for dogs. A friend of mine has a lovely Dobe from excellent bloodlines, who always had what she felt was a substandard coat. She feeds a very high quality kibble to her 3 large dogs. After doing some reading, she began adding raw beef liver to their kibble and it had a huge impact on the quality of his coat and more energy (he is 11 yrs old). So I did alot of investigation and reading of my own and have decided that I am going to start cooking for my smallish dog and make my own dog kibble topper for my dog. I am going to do dog soup (essentially bone broth w vegetables) and freeze it. I can make it much more nutritious and an added bonus is that it will be cheaper than buying it in the store. She will still get a limited amount of kibble just to make sure that she is well rounded nutritionally. Her organ meats will be mostly beef liver and chicken hearts and gizzards because that is what is most readily available. I am also going to a couple of local butcher shops to investigate what my options might be to see if I can expand on the variety of pieces and parts.

Do you mean cook the liver separately? Then add to the mixture? I didnt understand.

Justine-I have a female German Shepherd. What is your recipe?

[@justine7143]

@@karenannlara8461 hi babe! For one month of food, I get six chickens from Costco, a big bag of sweet potatoes, big bag of green beans, and about a pound of dried chickpeas from the bulk section at the regular grocery store. Since I’m lazy and don’t like preparing food too frequently, I’ll slow roast all 6 chickens in the oven for 12 hours so the meat just falls off the bone, cartilage, too. Chop the whole bag of sweet potatoes and boil them, and cook the chickpeas with a lot of water in the oven while the chickens roast because I don’t have a pot big enough. Chick peas expand like crazy. After the chickpeas are done and are still really hot, I’ll add the chopped green beans raw and they get a bit softer from the heat of the peas. Then I mix the peas, beans and sweet potatoes together and dismantle the chickens. Then I portion into Ziploc baggies to freeze. 6 ounces of chicken and 4 ounces of the sweet potato bean pea mix. She gets 10 ounces in the morning and 10 ounces at night and for lunch I gave her a half a cup of dry food just to get a little bit more fiber in her diet for solid poops. This recipe makes enough for two bags a day for anywhere between 24 and 30 days. I’m searching for a butcher that sells organ meat, because that’s what they should be eating often. It’s just hard to find kidneys, lungs, heart and liver at a reasonable price in large quantities. Give that pups a kiss for me 🥰 ❤️

Hello, and thank you so much. I made this for my dog. I froze 24 quart-size bags following your recipe. My dog loves it. I couldn't fit it in my crock pot but had a very large pot to cook it on low on the stove.

[@itsjustme.7059]

I need to make this for my dog. He is so finicky, but I think he would love this. I used one of your recipes for my last dog. She was sick and did not want to eat dog food. She was in congestive heart failure. She loved her homemade food.

I have the number one pickiest 2 year old Golden Doodle who has refused to eat every food in the Pet-store. I was getting ready to order one of the expensive fresh brands when I ran across this video. After watching this video I went to the store and bought all of the ingredients, came home and chopped everything up and made this. He’s not a big rice eater so I used a little organic brown pasta. I used this cooked food as a topper over my dogs regular food (using more of this cooked food) and he went thru it in two minutes and came back asking for more, it was a huge hit and I was thrilled! Thank u so much!

I am so glad I found and watched. So very informative as I changed my 3 fur babies over to homemade food about a month ago. They love it but I need to add in the additional supplements in the correct amounts. Your vet approved meals and guidance here is extremely helpful! Thank you!

I am so glad I found you! We just started making our own dog food, too. I have 5 dogs to feed and one is 100lbs. We use our HMDF to supplement dry kibble. Your recipe and advice is very helpful.

[@keihemminger8012]

I love this! Especially the links to the supplements. The dog food industry always does the scare tactic that our dogs won't survive without processed kibble. It's nice to see we can feed them whole foods and it is reassuring that you have the vet-approved supplements.

We've been having trouble with our dogs food for months now. Tried different dry, wet, pressed and cooked delivered food, and nothing was great. This fits the bill, it's clearly good quality (I did my research, this is balanced and healthy what you did here), and easy to follow. Thanks for this, will definitely try.

[@sandramarks3184]

Same

[@michaelhalbert3843]

Thanks! I do something very similar to this. Only difference is that I use white rice (I was told white rice was better for dogs) and I cook whole eggs with the food. Then I grind the eggs shells and all in the Magic Bullet with some water, and add it back.

[@Bohemian-Nilda]

Great recipe! Now my dog and I get to eat together (with the exception of the liver)! Thank You so much! ❤

[@homesteadrn.8810]

Great information and I really appreciate the Amazon links‼️Thank you‼️👍

[@48kristajm]

Thanks so much for these videos! I have an older pug that's a bit over weight, and a large mixed breed 2 year old. They absolutely LOVE this food. My husband said he has noticed the pug being much more active since we started feeding them this. I get the biggest kick out of how excited they get.

[@DD-pk5bg]

How much do you give? I gave a 12lb Yorkie and a 25lb mix breed, just seeing how much to give

[@victoriaaguilar266]

I also make my dogs their food. I make a few changes each week so it does not get boring for them. I use range chicken, pressure cooked and remove meat from bone. I boil quinoa in chicken broth, then I use another separate grain (brown rice, white rice, oatmeal, millet, sorghum) each week and boil it in chicken broth as well. I add mixed veggies (no corn) . Each day they have a multi vitamin, a scoop of ground flaxseed, a scoop of protein powder. The two senior dogs get a half a Dasuquin for their joints. They are healthy and strong. I don’t trust any pet food manufactured, I know what’s in my dogs food. Dog food companies don’t love my dogs I do, so I give them the absolute best food and care I can give them.

[@diannecass880]

I do the same and have seen amazing health changes in my dog (he was almost blind and now not). Kicking myself for waiting so long. Vets had 'ni idea'

[@sly-fi6502]

Please don't forget to use *lightly* cooked organ meats like beef liver and chicken hearts, ground muscle tissue isn't enough. Adding a poached egg also does wonders! Poached ensures they get the maximum nutrients out of the egg.

Lexy, Hi so I started feeding my 2 saint bernards and my baby english bulldog, your recipes. I gotta tell you, they are in HEAVEN with these recipes. You should see them dance around, and get so excited for this food. As soon as they see the bowl come out of the fridge, they all come running. TY so much for your videos. Please keep making them.

That is the best Vedic I have since about making dog food. Thank you for sharing.

TFS another great video. I so need those slow bowls for my pets. My girl eats so fast that she sometimes throws up so I have learned to withhold some of her food and have to feed it in segments. Slow bowl to the rescue! Also going to purchase that instant pot...this 2 hour prep/cook is tedious between baking or broiling their boneless/skinless chicken or turkey, then the veggies, cooking brown rice, carrots/sweet potatoes..whew!!! Thank you for all the great info...game changer!

[@LoveLexyNicole]

Oh they are amazing 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 yes it is so so challenging doing it that way! Instant pot saves tons of time which I’m all for! Thanks so much for watching 💗💗

[@PoppyPlaysPiano]

Ok- I made it... I have a 8qt Instant pot so I reduced the ground turkey to 5lbs. It looks great and will start feeding them tomorrow. I have 2 dogs. Finn, my old man in spirit, has digestive issues and I've been feeding him basically homemade chicken and sweet potato. I am praying that adding all the other ingredients will help him. The puppy will eat it all up! Thank 😀

[@smokeyoakytv]

this is so great! so thankful i came across your channel ♡♡♡

[@TJ-hp1lu]

Awww, thank you for sharing this! It is so nice to see people who care enough about their dogs to spend the extra time cooking for them. Personally, I have seen over and over again the benefit of my dogs (and cats too) after they were sick and feeling better after I cooked for them. Now, I have started to cook more often for my two dogs, but still, I have concerns if they get enough nutrients. I became convinced that the home-cooked options are the best after hearing about Bobbi who is 31 years old and always has eaten home-made food. Your dogs LoveLexyNicole, are very lucky dogs!
