Healthy Foods to Feed Your Dog 

“Its not people food, its food😁👍”- I like you man

We had a similar experience with our (dying) dog, Sally. We took her off of store bought kibble and fed her rice and chicken and she lived another very happy rambunctious 2 years!

This guys dogs are living a better life than me

I Feed my dogs all of these ingrediants cooked into a meat loaf mixed with brown rice, turkey and hamburger. Since I took all of our dogs off of all named brand dog foods, they have so much more energy. Their fur is very shinny and thick. They don't scratch like they use to, and the Vet said they are all very healthy. They have been on there homemade meatloaf for 3 years..The oldest dog is 10 now and she thinks she is still a puppy..Thanks for the video Food Farmer Earth.

I really should start feeding myself right from now on.

As a collage student, I found out that my food is worse than a dog.

this guy looks like kinda mr.bean

also if you go to butcher shops and ask for (bone dust) from the band saw, this is great source of calcium and marrow which is super healthy for animals

I'm going to revisit just to listen to your voice! so calm!

Everyone has their own ideas and opinions on what to feed and what not to feed a dog (or cat) and that makes it hard for a person to really know what's best. Even vets have different opinions ... I just try and do the best I can by feeding my animals a high protein, good fats and low carb diet (and now bulking on the calcium). If its good for me I hope it does right by them .... and they are happy, healthy and loving animals and that's all I can ask for.

Now my dog is happy and she has lots of energy thx for the info

Just found this now but so insightful and alongside the research I've been doing. More and more people are getting their dogs off of kibble and this information is very helpful.

such terrific information and the book is life changing for you -and- your dog. No hyperbole!

Cooking for your dogs is so charming

So ... -eggs and their shells -steak loins -carrots, beans, apples - rosemary, turmeric, parsley - more fiber= more digestive issues if not broken down properly

I use eggshells the same way. I also use bone broth made at home as a liquid base for their meals....such as I will cook their rice in it

Thank you so much for making this video!

im going to use the egg shell idea!!!

Very informative! I never thought that eggshells can be processed and become a good source of calcium for my little fella. Thanks for sharing!

Great info. Love it. I have a rosemary bush so I can add that. And yes msking food soft important for their digestion. Ty.

SUPER!! BIG HELP TO ME!! THANKS A LOT!!!

Thankyou. I really liked this-especially the egg info!🐾😍

they like cranberry too,my egypt LOVED cranberries,wasnt crazy about cheese,yams n carrots too

I've been making my own dog food for almost a year, and will never go back to the nasty kibbles, no matter how good or expensive the brand! My dogs are much healthier, trimmer and happier!

I just realized that you wrote a book on this. I just ordered it. Can't wait! I'm making the mutt loaf today for my two mini schnauzers. Thank you for what you do!

wow you're so smart we need more people think like you. wow.

If you love your pet and go to all that trouble of making wonderful homemade food, why would you feed it any commercial dog food (garbage) at all?

Thanks for the formula for how much egg shell to use. I tried a recipe for doggy meatloaf, that included 10 raw eggs and the shells ground up. I followed the plan, and made up tubs of it. The first meal they had, both had diahhorea for 2 days because of the egg shells, so I never put the shells in again. I'll now try your way. I use the herbs, spices, parsley etc in my foods too, and add garlic raw to raw meals, or cooked in their cooked meals, as it helps combat fleas as well as cancers etc.

Very informative, thank you..xxx

This video was very helpful.

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm with you!!!!!!!!!!

In many established countries, people have never heard of "dog food" and their dogs live long harmonious lives.

Great video,thanks for sharing this video here.

Exactly!

People think I’m crazy because I feed my dog half and half but I’ve noticed a huge difference in his bathroom habits and his over all energy and health adding powerful foods to his diet. Me feeding him also helps me not over eat because I try to only eat things that’s healthy and that he can eat as well. I also mix in 3 types of dog food Rachel Ray, Science Diet and one other that equals 3 ounces and mix in 3 ounces of human superfoods. He seems so much happier and healthier and both are important to improving a dogs life. I also take the time to figure out which dog treats for the day for training and I allow him to tell me which one’s he likes because they have taste preferences just like we do and I think that’s also important to notice. I grow his favorite food’s now which are yams and when it’s planting season he knows his garden and he doesn’t mess with it but he keeps guard of his food growing. It’s pretty amazing. I haven’t tried plum’s but I will be this coming week.

TOTALLY!

Love your video's and the info you are sharing. I also make my own food, for a itcy Bichon. I was getting a little scared thinking she wasn't getting enough vitamins, but I think I'm doing okay after watching your videos. I also picked up some good idea's from you. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing ideas

Nice videos , keep sharing good content !! Good job !! 😊❤️

thanks..help my puppies live now from your video

Thankyou

I have been doing this...lol, now I can come out with it. Most will criticize it, but I think it's good to give them meat, eggs, , but just not so much dairy. Maybe a little cheese for training or treat. The reason I agree with him it is still good idea to feed a high grade dog food brand with it, is because unless you are really knowledgeable about canine dietary needs, strictly feeding from our tables can leave them with deficiencies in growth and maintaining good health. Also, there is a fine line between over feeding as weight gain is very bad for their health.

the egg shell is a great idea! thank u

omg I so agree , iv got a 14 yr old dog nearly at deaths door a few weeks ago , I thought wot the hell and started feeding him this , and he has come good and feeling great, I put my other dog on it straight after watch the 14 yr old get well, and they have never been more happy , they look great the coats are glowing , I just put a few brisket bones in and I have two very happy dogs

Canines have been around for 15,000 years. It was in the 1900s that commercial pet food really gained popularity.In 1964 the Pet Food Institute started a campaign warning about dangers of feeding table scraps and the importance of feeding processed food to pets. Dry foods especially were marketed to the owner through shapes and colors and catchy names. Part of the message was that pet food is complicated and best left to the "professionals".

thnx for the healthy info

Very healthy dogs....love it

Thanks for the eggshell I have chickens and didn't wanna waste the shells so thanks😁

Bless this guy, he just cares about his dogs, leave him alone

When will the cook book be out and where can I buy it?

I like the idea of 50/50 but I was thinking not to mix it in one bowl but to take turns, because it is different food.

Thanks for the video. I have a question, is it ok to feed raw diets to a 3 months old siberian husky? or is it too early?

Thank u, I like u video!

never knew about the egg shells :)

I have 2 large livestock guardian dogs, one Maremma, and a St. Bernard/Great Pyrenees cross. I feed them 3 eggs along with Taste of The Wild dry food in the morning, then the dry food with a chicken breast or if it's really cold here, bacon. I may start to add some veggies to be sure they are getting all the minerals they need.

On thanksgiving he eats at the table with all the neighborhood dogs

The first part is literally a MEME

There are a growing number of small companies, frequently small natural or organic farmers working on a local level, that are filling the demand by pet owners for a healthier and more natural way to feed their animals. With the massive recent pet food recalls fresh in many people's minds, there has been increased interest in knowing what goes into commercial pet food, and many are questioning whether we are feeding our pets properly.

Just as importantly egg shells extremely effective for humans! Growing and repairing teeth.

Because beef liver and chicken hearts aren't a big seller in my grocery store I can pick up quite a bit when it goes on sale.

Did you know introduce these extras bit by bit, is the rosemary and turmeric etc or can I just bung em on in there? Do they get bones or just them baked egg shells as a calcium source, how long do I bake the shells for please?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 great info

My Bull terrier likes to eat a raw food diet and a little dry food. I find that Bullies are a bit sensitive in the tummy so anything new will lead to an explosion.. Although I did try to introduce her to a few chicken necks and wow did that upset her tummy.. So back to raw mince. and raw bones to chew on. Shes pretty beefy so I think I must be doing something right! Only 6 months old and looking great

i use tumeric rosemary sage yams brown rice and chicken carrots 50/50 also dry food/ homemade,i grow the dogs vegis n spice

I think his dogs like his cooking, they looked very interested

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I make my own calcium from eggshells. Could you tell me how much calcium to add to a cup of food when I prepare homecooking for my pet. How much is necessary. Please let me know how many tsps to give my pug per a cup of food. THANKS so very much!!!

Excellent video!

We have a small dog. Lhasapoo and have been feeling her a diet like this since she was three months the only other thing we do is we bought hills vitamin supplement powder, it’s actually food grade supplement and added to her cooked food. Our dog eats once per day and has enjoyed just about every meal. We wanted to make sure our dog has a good diet with everything she needs and less fillers whole foods are the key and my wife and I both cook the dogs meals...........I wonder what the world would be like if we loved people the way we love our dog, god bless everyone.

Either eggs, salmon, beef or steak every day, chicken 4 times a month. (blue berries, black berries, carrots, chicken livers every 3 to 4 days.) I stopped feeding my AMSTAFF dog food two years ago his breed is only supposed to live 12 human years or 84 dog years. He is now 15 human years old, 15 human years X 7 dog years = 105 dog years. He still chases the younger dogs around the yard and wants to play over half the day, LOL he is out cold by 7PM.

There are so many agressive comments on here. Wow. I want to learn but it's hard to find a civilized discussion/debate on raw vs, homemade vs commercial doggy diets. For the avg. Dog lover/owner it's very hard to sort through the varying opinions in order to know whats right, but hey, Doctors, nutritionists, and holistic physicians etc. don't agree with what's best for the human diet either and each swears they are right, so we are all just doing our homework and doing the best we can on both fronts. Also, every home-life and resource availability situation is different too. I like that he gives yet another approach to consider. Also, I find that whenever you have people who are dogmatic and extreme about something (from dog food to politics) they are often wrong or at the very least mistaken in whole or part. Do your homework and do what works for you and your pup's health and happiness. How are people that have so much love for animals so mean to each other?

How long do u bake the eggshells?

here in South Africa.... raw dog food is taking off... 50% protein and the rest raw veggies bone grizzle coconut oil and ACV... comes in frozen 500gm sausages.... my dog gets one thawed 500gm in the morning and one at night... He was a rescue ..so.. he thinks he died and went to heaven....

What Kind of kibble do you get because I need one very low in protein and fat. which does Rick use?

we have a Huge lab, he is on the raw food diet, its a complete turkey meal, he was on the chicken complete but chicken is higher in fat content than the turkey but as far as the eggs go, you can actually just give them an egg from the fridge - no need to crack it, just give it to them the shells dont hurt them. - if you have a high strung dog or reactive dog like we do, you can also look into cannabis oil - we have not tried it yet but i have heard rave reviews

dog eats better then I do

Wow very nice

Recepies please!

Cooking removes vital amino acids, other fats and antioxidants which your pet needs to thrive, your removing a lot of these, thus why you'll need to add more supplements to their diet. It's the same as dogs being fed processed foods. It's vitally important that they get a balance of calcium to phosphorus, Omega 3 and 6. The egg shells are great, however, you also need to realise the importance of raw meaty bones and what benefits they can have on your dogs overall health. Your dog doesn't need all that you feed to thrive... You should also mention that when shopping for meats, organs and bones, look for organic where possible. Grass fed and breed your own prey where you can. Treats can be made at home using natural whole foods, stay clear of ALL commercial processed pet foods (I stay clear of anything which has an "ingredients" list), vaccinations, wormers, flea and tick treatments. Do your best at eliminating stress, prescription drugs, pollutants, treated water, tobacco smoke, incense, air-fresh, environmental changes, chemical fertilisers, pesticides. We must always look at the whole picture and limit the amount of harmful things we expose dogs to throughout their lives. The Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain reported that 90% of chronic diseases are caused from an unhealthy intestinal system primarily the colon. Research has shown that there is a connection between imbalance in the intestines and the following dis-eases: Arthritis, Candida/Thrush, Yeast infections, Asthma, Food Allergies, Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, Irritable Bowel, Celiac Disease, Indigestion, Constipation, Lupus, and possibly to some auto immune disorders due to a weak immune System.

My Husky pup eats banana ( In small pieces of course)..shredded carrots, rice, yogurt..etch

Thanks for the video. How long do the egg shells stay in the oven? How much of the egg shell powder do you give the dog? Can you buy it in stores?

I would love to spoil my dogs like him. But I can't cook that good. His homemade dog food is good enough for me to eat. My mouth is watering. I love my dogs and cats just as much. They are my security alarm and protector. I would do anything to make them happy.

I just got Rick's dog food book; I have not received it yet but Rick says he likes to help sick animal and what can you offer about Kidney disease? My dog is borderline and I do cook for my 7 dogs but the Vet told me that he has too much protein?? What kind of recipe do you recommend for Kidney problems?

What could you possibly mixed the egg shells with? I give my dogs Pure Balance food. Could i mix the egg shells ??

Hey my dogs love sugar snap peas, carrots, and strawberries, also blueberries and raspberries that grow outside, (seasonal) can they eat these foods with no problem, or am I going to ahve to cut down my berry bush?

Great video. I can appreciate someone who takes the time to improve the quality of the pets life. I make my dogs food as well. Thanks for a few more tips.

you should make what not to feed fido

Is white rice good ?

awesome advice! thank you

Turkey, dark meats and liver, heart from beef. I never feed my dogs pork. Salad is also good 👍🐕🐾🐈🐾😀

I would agree with this I have done it rescuing dogs, raw feed is best hands down, cooked food next, then combo high grade commercial mixed with our cooked foods. If we are feeding ourselves what is wrong with adding another plate for Fido. To keep on top of recalls as commercial foods are known for their recalss and chemicals that are hazardous to Fido and us, like don't let your kids handle it nor keep it in your kitchen nor dining areas.

Love your videos. One thing, if you add tumeric, to get the benefit from it you have to add some ground black pepper. (:

My daughter started feeding her American Bully (dog) the mostly raw diet. He ate some chicken wings and started throwing up blood. When she took him to the vet. He had a fever of 105, and after running tests on him he had a perforation in his intestines. I agree, anything is better than commercial dog food, but just an FYI.

should i only feed my dog dog food? (like the ones in bags that you see in commercials? if I only feed those, do I need to mix supplements in the food?)

If you haven't tried the Safe Pet Treats app be sure that you do. It will help you identify harmful pet food ingredients and recalls by simply scanning the product's barcode.

How do you give your dogs the egg powder?

My dogs have always loved Veggies. I start giving it when they are small pups coming off of moms milk, i continue to give them goats milk thru out their life plus eggs etc. My dogs love all veggies except raw broccili, they like it boiled tho.
