Dogg Food 2

"Our cats are OBSESSED with your dry and wet food! From our recent visit to the vet, your food was the talk of the facility. The vet & vet tech couldn't get over how incredibly healthy our little Rosa Rex looked. I let them know it's this AMAZING Probiotic dry cat food!"
Naked Essentials Indoor Health - Chicken + Turkey
Obviously serving size will greatly vary based on the dog's size and diet. Banjo is a Norwich Terrier and considered "small" at around 15 pounds and I feed him about 1/3 - 1/2 cup twice a day (solid kibble in the morning and this in the evening). So you can double, triple or quadruple this recipe if you have, say, a Great Dane or 10 Norwich Terriers ?
IMPORTANT!: I am NOT a veterinarian or canine nutritionist. That said, while you can alter the veggies added (some like spinach and beans), here are some things you should NEVER feed dogs: onions, garlic, mushrooms, raisins, grapes and chocolate. This recipe is also meant as a supplement to kibble or as a snack/treat. Also, every dog reacts to food differently due to various reasons. If your dog's poop color changes after feeding, it may be because of the dietary change and the colors in the food such as carrots. It is usually suggested to slowly incorporate new foods with current foods for a smoother transition. You know your dog best, so as with any dietary change, be sure to monitor their behavior. Feed them at your own discretion with common sense employed and always take them to a licensed veterinarian should there be a shift in behavior in terms of what they eat.
I have two Pomeranians and a Papi-huahua (Papillon-chihuahua mix). One of my poms is 13 and a character. He normally will stand about until the other two finish so he can torment them by eating his food last. I am making my second batch of this recipe today. I mix it with their kibble. All three dive into their bowls when it is meal time now. No one waits around.
Far too many carbs in this recipe. Where is the organ meat? Omega 3? Fat? Calcium? Probably needs a whole food vitamin mineral supplement. Fresh is better than kibble almost always. But this will fall short of nutrient long term:
Thanks Jeff! I love your recipes! Even for dogs. As soon as I saw that you did dog food, I went to your site right away! I just rescued a 2 year old Standard Poodle that was starved and severely ignored after he left his Breeder. Thankfully, those idiots gave him back before they moved (thankfully), and I want to give him the best life he can have, including what he eats. I will let you know how he does on this diet. Thank you again!
I usuallybcookbanwhoke chicken in the instant pot and then, use the broth for steaming the veggies. I pull the white meat off the chicken to shred for my dogs and save the dark me for myself since that is my preference. Using the whole chicken is much cheaper. My dogs still get a quality dry kibble with the chicken and veggies. I no longer have issues with them eating their kibble.
I do not think my dogs(5) have EVER ate before. I made this with peas, carrots, mushrooms, green beans and, spinach. Then after cooking I added in a can of pumpkin pure. They about climbed into the instant pot to get it. Made them wait until cool. You must tell Banjo a huge thank you from Juneau, Dexter, Abby, Odin, and Bubba. They LOVED it! I thank you Jeffery I love making goodies for my babies.

Your customer service was responsive and very generous. I really appreciate the competence and quick resolution to my issue which was not your fault. I will absolutely recommend your company to anyone I know.
As much a photo collage as a visual guide on the types of food that Indie has been eating throughout her life here with us, I wanted to dispel the myth that cooking for your pup is difficult, time-consuming and complicated. It was a piece that worked in tandem with a 2018 post about the history of dog food where we also introduced how to make your own balanced meals for your dog regardless of size, age or breed.
One 2-3lb package of chicken thighs, containing 4-6 thighs (Bone-in and skin-on preferred, but you can also use skinless/boneless thighs, chicken breasts or chicken tenders. We do not recommend bone-in-chicken breasts or wings though as these contain too many small bones. Please see note below.)
Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. In a large stock pot, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, making sure it coats the entire bottom of the pot. Let the oil warm up for about one minute. Add the carrots in a flat layer.
With stew-like consistency, this dog-friendly recipe is full of comfort food flavors all bathed in a natural broth that forms when the water in the carrots and sweet potatoes mixes with the olive oil and the chicken fat. The hour-long steam makes the chicken fall off the bone and makes the vegetables so tender you can slice them with a butter knife.
Over the 4th of July weekend, Indie celebrated her 10th birthday. Of course, we surprised her with her favorite chicken dinner. This time, in addition to the sweet potatoes and carrots we added in some chopped-up cucumbers, another summer love of hers.
I hope this post is helpful to the readers who requested it. We are always here to answer any questions you might have so feel free to ask away should you run into any troubles. In the meantime, happy eating to your pups. I hope they love this recipe as much as Indie does!
You can follow the directions in the one pot-recipe post and simply substitute the chicken cutlets for the chicken thighs, and then half the rest of the ingredients. This way all vegetables and chicken will be in correct proportion to each other. Hope this info helps! If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to reach out. Happy New Year to you and your little pal!
Thanks so much for your question. Generally, we purchase packages of chicken thighs that contain between 4-6 thighs and runs in weight anywhere between 2-3.5lbs. I adjusted the recipe to include this info for easy reference. Hope this info helps!
On traditional dog food, Rascal was lethargic, he shed in abundance and his appetite was mediocre. He was also low in his weight class, weighing in at just 64 pounds for a full-sized male Golden Retriever.
Add in all the ingredients and cook on high for 4 hours. This does cook down some of the nutrients as the mixture cooks longer but it can be an easier cooking method depending on your kitchen/time.
Home-cooked dog food diets can be one of the best ways to keep your best friend happy and healthy. As always, check with your vet before testing a new dog diet, but here are some of my best recommendations:
This will definitely vary from dog to dog and I highly recommend speaking to your vet before going homemade. Generally speaking, for every 10 lbs your dog weighs is roughly 1/2 cup of prepared food.
