BRAND NEW homemade dog food video just went live on my channel! :) I also am running an exciting giveaway in the video that ends March 7, 2024 so get entered!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QSJ_NKe5oAg.htmlfeature=shared
I just wanted to let you know I tried your homemade dog food from your last video and I been doing it now for 2 weeks and I noticed a huge difference they have no more digestive issues no more smelly gas well most the time anyway lol they have so much more energy even my 12 year old lab mix is so much more active now ! I jutted wanted to thank you and let anyone know to give it a try it really makes a huge difference! Thank you !
yes it makes a world of a difference in the poop. it is just like human poop and they sometimes poop only once on homemade food as opposed to thrice on kibble! once a day pooping is fine my vet said.
How many cups a day of the food are you feeding your Lab? I have a 60-70lb dog low/moderate energy level and no idea the correct amount to feed her a day to maintain weight of homemade food.
My male Labrador gets 3 cups of homemade food he is very high energetic my female lab gets 2 cups a day she’s about your dogs weight and had low energy until I started her on homemade food now she has a lot more energy! Hope this helps !
@@LoveLexyNicole does these help for pugs ? My pug is having problems eating she hates her dog food and she’s so skinny because she doesn’t want to eat
They should! These two little sweeties definitely landed on their paws when their mamma took them home! :) Thanks so much for the recipes I've been wanting to make my own dog for a long time but I was worried about lack of nutrients. But after watching this, looks like my chihuahua's in for a treat! I just need to work out the portions, especially as she's a little tubby! Loved the vid...sub'd!
@@barbaraosario3582 I'm really hoping that'll be the case. I do need to get her trimmed down a bit. She's very much a spoilt lap dog. She still has her walks every day, but she doesn't particularly like them and won't go at all if it's raining. I have found one thing though, I am in the UK and can't seem to get ground meat AT ALL, just minced. I bought her all kinds of meats and veggies the other day. Honestly, she's going to be eating better than me!
Wall guard for feeding time: 2 small hooks (command hooks are fine), a laminated placemat of choice with 2 holes punched for hanging. Install against wall behind bowl. Placemat can now be washed and dried easily at the sink, or switched out to match decor. Plastic carpet runners work great under bowls too to protect rug or hard wood surfaces from water damage. I have a bad back and too much bending hurts. Things like this help me keep a space clean without killing myself in the process. Hope this helps someone else.
we use the neater feeder . for my cat and dog ! it has high sides to protect the walls and floors and has a drain to allow water to fall into the lower compartment so theres no water on the floor let me tell you it was a life changer with my cat and we love it for our dog to
Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (probably on Google)? It is a great one off guide for discovering healthy recipes for dog food minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate at very last got cool results with it.
omg! I am so glad I came across your video, I also have a 7month yorkie just like Bentley and I am on my 7 brand of god food and she isn't really eating and if she does she is vomiting. I am so excited to make this food for her. Thank you so much.
Love love love this! I am a doodle breeder and wish more people would realize just how much dog food will change your dog. One small tip is if your doodle puppy is mouthing (she “play bites to get attention.) it will continue and won’t be as cute when she’s 55-60 pounds. It’s a big behavioral issue and should be corrected immediately. It will turn into biting and even into situations where stitches could be needed. She’s doing it to get your attention and to get pets and if you give them to her after she does that it will just teach her to do it more. I highly recommend watching Upstate Canine Academy for training on this. He’s great! (No meanness meant, your doodle is absolutely adorable and you are a fantastic owner!!)
A doodle breeder? You sound proud of yourself, you should be ashamed for ripping people off... Ffs, just stop making mutts and selling them for astronomical prices! They have so many health and temperament issues because noone who has Champion bloodlines for their poodles or goldens would EVER allow their dogs to be used to make these abominations... champion bloodlines mean genetic testing such as OFA certification and temperament guarantees... Oh, you have a doodle? How original! 🙄🤦♀️
@@MoonbeamStargazer69 you are more than Welcome to believe whatever you’d like. As for the blind, deaf, and other children who have benefited from my *health tested* genetic tested, and more dogs, their thank you is enough for me and negative comments worn stop that. You sound like you don’t own a Goldendoodle... so sad. Maybe someday you’ll be lucky enough to. They are amazing dogs. (Hence the thousands and thousands of people who own them and more.) Instead of tearing others down for something you don’t agree with, how about just moving on with your life? You don’t agree? No issues here! Wont stop or affect me for a moment. But sadly it will affect you. Mean people are sad and miserable. I truly hope you are not. I wish you all the best and I’ll continue to be kind and breed my amazing doodles. ❤️ have a great day! (Also I have an AKC Registered Health tested, genetic tested, even temperament tested red poodle from Amazing lines that I do use as a stud. So yes, people with amazing AKC Registered health tested, genetic tested championship line “purebred” dogs do in fact breed for amazing doodles) 😉 it’s all about producing an amazing, healthy, happy, dog for families. Not just about the money. ❤️ Those who breed for passion instead of money understand this. Again, I wish you all the best!
This is the truth, they are all irresponsibly bred mixed breeds. An innocent victim of human greed and ignorance. An insult to the ethical breeders who have devoted their lives to preserving and improving their beloved purebreds. Those who do health, genetic and temperament testing to make sure they are not producing an animal doomed to suffer (an often shortened) lifetime of misery here on this earth. It is an offense to the dedicated breeder who spends countless hours properly raising, socializing and matching the best possible puppy for each potential owner's needs and who guarantees for the life of that animal that it will have a soft place to land should circumstances change. You can claim what you like, but I see the truth every single day in these poor dogs with horrific health and temperament issues, I would never in a million years own a doodle or "designer" mutt. I LITERALLY have Standards! 🐩 You don't need to lie to yourself or others to attempt to validate what you do... Sure, you use champion bloodlines to make your mixed breed, there's not an ethical breeder alive that would allow their Champion bloodline dogs to knowingly be used to do this. I'm only here to stand up for these poor dogs that people continue to breed because they are indeed money hungry, unethical, greedy people who exploit these poor puppies and take advantage of other people's ignorance who pay thousands of dollars for a mutt... I'm not sure how any of these "breeders" sleep at night. If you are so great and ethical, why don't you call for this to change? Because that's not what we are seeing, it's only getting worse every day.
@@MoonbeamStargazer69 actually I’m not sleeping tonight... my girls in labor... got to go, doodle puppies on the way! Message me if you’re interested! ❤️❤️ (Well if you’re ok with waiting a while, my waitlist is pretty full.)
I have two yorkies, the one dances like crazy when she sees me grabbing food dishes. She reminds me of hemmy on over the hedge, the squirrel. My other one wiggles, and wags his tail, a much more settled dog. But it makes you feel great that they look forward to all your efforts for them.
It is awesome to see you feed your dogs at the end. The best is when you add the Blueberries to her food. More dog owners must get into the habit of interrupting their dogs when they are eating. (It creates bite inhibition in dogs - dogs get use to hands coming into their face as they are eating and learn to associate it with positive rewards). It lessens food guarding. Helps in multiple dog households. And is a great thing to teach dogs BEFORE you have children. I love how you interrupt your dogs with positive rewards - you never know when the neighbor’s kid will come over and start putting their hands in the dog bowl while the dog is eating. (Hard to watch kids 24/7).
I just made your recipe and placed a portion of it in my fur baby’s bowl along with her regular food. She ate the home made food first. Picky eater loves the recipe. Thank you so much!
Lexy, I came back to tell you that your first recipe has helped my Maltese so much!🙏 She doesn't have digestive issues anymore. Its been 2 months She's been eating your recipe. My vet loves it! She's 11 years old and not only is she feeling amazing, but she has so much energy. I can't believe it's the same dog. Thank you so much. Going to try your new recipe next month right now im cooking her food already for the month. ❤ Thank you once again.
EVERY animal needs a pet-mom like you! Thanks for SHOWING (not just telling) how you make the homemade food. I haven't started our schnauzer on homemade food but seriously thinking about it. Your dogs are so well-behaved. New subscriber. Thx! Lesa
I’ve always cooked for my dogs but I have to admit, they never devoured their food the way they do after I started making your recipes! Thank you so much from me, Peanut and Molly!
I agree with everything except the rice. I have 9 dogs and 3 cats, which I have 5 Instant Pots and one of them yes is the 10 qt. I also cook my eggs in the shell for 4 minutes in the Instant Pot (6 qt) and release the pressure so they are cooked perfectly and then use the egg shells for calcium. Yes of course I wash my eggs before cooking them. Yes, I would love more homemade fur kids recipes I am getting bored with mine however very similar to this one, it is just inspiring watching you to keep going. I have been doing this for about 3 years now and sometimes I feel like...crap all I do is cook and wash dishes, hahahahahaha. You are a breath of fresh air. Happy to see there are more of us out there who have tossed the commercial garbage and now provide fresh wholesome home cooked food for our Beloveds!
Guys, I’m back to say my picky Chihuahua loved this recipe. He is so picky he dislikes peanut butter, eggs, yogurt, etc. I’m going to continue with this because he had been eating cooked choices chicken 🐔 for 6 years and had a lot of stomach issues which God willing will get resolved. Thanks for sharing. Alicia
So happy to see that people are making the furbabies food I was a chef for 37years now I just cook for hubby Pup (Astro) and my 86 yr old friend and sometimes send some to my adult kids ,I don't cook small habit ,Happy New Year, your furbabies are beautiful
I have tried the first one and OMG, my German Shepherd energy picked up, she's 10 years old!! She plays with my puppy plot hound now, she play and run like never before!!! Thanks for sharing
The way they look at you is pure love and gratitude. I have 3 new Goldendoodles puppies so I'm going to switch to cooking for them. The best part of cooking for the dogs is it has the love from us in it which I know makes it more healing.
I really like the way you make the food. I’ve been making it for years. I usually switch between lentils and rice. I also add beef liver that I put into a blender with sardines and then mix into whatever meat I use. Also I cook the rice separately because I don’t want starch in their food. I cook the rice then when it’s done I rinse it to remove all the starch. I like the idea of pressure cooking it. I’m guessing I won’t need as much water without the rice in their. Thanks for the video.
I'm a little frustrated with all the research I've doing to no avail for my picky eater Maltese. Grateful I found this easy recipe. I gave my vet the recipe and he approved as well. My baby eats like I've never seen him before. I've never been so happy.
If you want to cool hot food faster you can freeze water in a bottle leaving room for expansion. Leave the lid on and just put the frozen bottle down into the mixture. You can stir a few times while cooling. Thanks so much for your recipes!!❤️
I just found your videos on homemade dog foods and treats and I'm loving it. I love to cook for my fur babies, it makes me so happy to see them enjoy their food. They seem to know when momma is cooking just for them as they will gather in the kitchen and watch everything I'm doing and get so excited. I've written down every one of your recipes and can't wait to try them for my babies. I look forward to more recipes soon. And your babies are so stinking adorable.
I love all the testimonials in the comments. I look forward to watching the other videos and cooking for my little pet baby. You can tell when someone really cares and it's so cute 😊.
I did my first batch this week with my new Instant Pot. Next time I need to find cheaper ground beef, I bought grass fed and it was more expensive than I would have liked. My dog loves it and it is gone in minutes!
Been looking on how to feed my fur babies homemade food and found you! You and your babies are the cutest! And your video made it seem not so overwhelming! 😊
Some other good things to add is fish like sardines stored in spring water or tuna or even just fish oil. Blueberries & banana are also good. Eggs and the egg shell. Sweet potato is another superfood for dogs. Also rose hipvital is amazing for joint health! It can be used as a preventative or to help ease. I live in Australia I own 2 Australian cattle dogs and have always cooked my dogs food. I buy 12kg of kangaroo meat from the local small town butcher. I don’t own a fancy pot like you so it takes me all day to prep their foods. I’ll have to look into getting a pressure cooker Edit: I wrote this during the first couple of minutes so didn’t realise you added in the extra goodies that I mentioned.
OMG I love this I am getting my puppy next month and I was going to order fresh but I now know I can make it from scratch and these are things I buy from the grocery store all the time.
I have 2 very maltipoo’s Rosie 2 1/2 and Poppy 10 months they are very picky eaters and I get so worried about them, I have tried so many types of food I have even tried raw. I enjoyed your video so much I am very much the same I like my dogs to have minerals and vitamins etc. and It was so good to see your cute dogs eating so heartily. I have used you recipe today and I will give it to my dogs later I so hope they like it . Thank you for sharing your recipe Pat uk xx
Love the idea of using the instant pot. I usually skip the rice but add unflavored gelatin for their joints. It made a world of difference in my old arthritic fellow.
As it turns out, the rice may be necessary. My dogs have been having chronic pancreatitis so I went back to commercial dog food. Even with following Dr. Becker’s recipe, they still had issues so I gave up.
Yesterday was a first for me making home made dog food. Glad i tried it. It made me feel like i was doing something so special for my dog. For those that dont have the bigger size pot like myself. I purchased the microwaveable steamable veggies and just combined it all at the end.
I love this!! I love seeing doggies so excited for their food and for them eating healthy food. I feel so sad for dogs whose humans feed them kibble. The dogs love real food so much better than kibble.
I use unsweetened apple sauce. I also use some flaxseed. Pumpkin. I was lucky enough to have a neighbor that used to make fresh dog food commercially. Her recipes were all vet approved and her business was also approved to sell commercially so my recipe comes from her. I use omega 3 oils.
For the calcium, I save my eggshells and rinse them out. I then put them on a baking sheet at 400 degrees and bake them for 15 minutes. When they have cooled off I grind them in a coffee grinder till they're powder. A great source of calcium!
This was great to watch. I’ve been making dog food in my instant pot for a couple of years now. I have the 8 qt - wish I had the 10!! I do a couple of diff things that I’ll share. I add 1-2 chopped sweet potatoes & I use either beef or chicken broth - fat & salt free. I also will grate a little lemon zest for flavor. I haven’t used brown rice or apple but I will include those with my next batch! Thanks for the info!
Just browsing through comments, seen the lemon- lemon and limes are toxic to dogs 🥺 And that’s one of the ingredients in those Himalayan chews, not sure why people give them to their dogs.
Your dogs just love how you take care of them in your beautiful clean kitchen and home.I love how your home is inviting even through the videos.we are similar women you and I we deserve the best of everything in this life as well as your fur babies.
I love ur going to change me I don't have a dog yet but I'm doing my research I'm not going to buy kibble I'ma make my future dog cooked meals just like I cook my kids and my pet bunny, meals thx for educating us all I really appreciate that
I home a cook for my 3 dogs! They love it. Dogs need Organ meat as well, you might want to add some chicken hearts or liver to their food. I get a big pack of chicken hearts for $3 and add about 5-6 to their batch.
Hi Nicole! great video! I also feed my 3 year portie home made food. Due to his itchiness my holistic vet asked me to cut down organic brown rice from 2 cups to just 1 cup in my regular 5 lb ground meat (free range bison) and veggies. She's also asked me to switch from Bison beef lamb to duck pork and turkey because the former three are warm foods that may trigger the allergies or aggravate so from tomorrow I'm switching him to locally raised duck meat. It's not ground so i'll have to cut into chunks and cook. I will see how his allergies get on duck. If it is the same then i'll just switch to turkey. One thing i'd like to suggest you is never to put the lids on right away after pouring the hot food. You always want to either soak the whole pot in iced water let it cool faster then once it cools down then only pour in containers and put the lids on then freeze them. From the food safety standpoint, this is what's taught by the health department. great job! enjoyed the videos.
So glad you brought up the "brown rice" . Brown had arsenic and is toxic . Plus the lectins in the hulls might bad for dogs as it is for humans. Both humans and dogs are carnivors.
I have been making my dog food as well. I don’t add rice all the time but when I do I cook it separately and rinse it well before I mix it into my dog food. Removes all the starch as well.
Thank you for your recipes, after starting my boys on these diets, my one boy who has skin allergies it has settled down 95% if not more, we appreciate your videos!
I am very excited to try this recipe. I will have to adjust the amount of ingredients. My dog is little he is mix breed Duchshund Beagle. Sounds so good even for humans to eat. I have stopped buying dog food for one year. I have been cooking for my dog. I noticed dog foods upset the stomach. I paid almost $12 a can and I had to return the food to the store. Cooking for your pet is the best. It's lots of fun and also less clean up after the pet. Believe me I know about clean up NOT FUN LoL.
Made this recipe with ground chicken. My two babies loves it!! I made enough to give to my sister for her two dogs and they love it as well. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for this video. My 7 month Yorkshire terrier has been eating this homemade dog food she is very pick I’ve try so many dog food. I called the vet to try to get the right measurements because I did not want to under or over feed her. The vet was a little against it but my Yorkie is just like Bentley so I feed her 3/4 cup she is 9lbs and she is doing great. 😊
I love your videos. I use to make my dogs their food but since I have gotten older I find it a real chore. I make bone broth which they love and I add it to their food. I have started making food for them but I use the rice cooker (use to use a pressure cooker but am not so comfortable with it now).I cook the veggies in my microwave, and meat in the skillet. Then put rice, bone broth and cooked veggies in the rice cooker. When done I add the cooked meat and then blend in my ninja blender. I do that because the veggies go down easier when blended. Because I worry about vitamins and calcium, they get kibble in bone broth in the morning and then the homemade food in the evening. You have provided such helpful info and I am striving to go all homemade eventually. Thank you.
you should try adding some organ meat because that’s a crude source or vitamins and proteins in a dogs diet turkey necks are also really good to add on top:)))
I tried to post a big thank you for your dog recipe. It is the best. My yorkie would never eat any kibble. She loves your recipe and thank you so much.
Omg I love this! Blissey is chowing down and Bentley is so good too🤗. Girl I would break the bank if I had to feed my dog with homemade food. My kids already break the food bank😂😂
Oh my gosh! I really loved this video. Don't know why I didn't look for this sooner. My dog is battling cancer. He has an aggressive tumor. His appetite decreased dramatically. Today, is my first day cooking salmon and broccoli for little Maxy.
Thank you so very much I’m so stressed out trying to find good recipes and the vitamins they need. I keep coming back to you’re videos cause people add seasonings and other things to their home made recipes that I know from common sense is not healthy for the dogs.
Thank you Janet! Don’t stress, I built up my supplements over time. Homemade is better than kibble so supplements are extra that do help your dogs overall health so add what you can. But yes I was told no seasoning 😱
Some dried herbs and spices are perfectly healthy and beneficial for your dog’s health actually. Hell even a sprinkle of salt is fine to encourage them to drink more water. I mix garlic in my bone broths too (one clove per liter).
I recommend glad press n seal placed on the wall by the food bowls.very easy clean up no stains on paint. Also works for around litterbox....have a male cat that stands to void his bladder so urine pad under litterbox and press n seal on the walls surrounding it. Clear no wall damage. Easily replaced.
Hi Lexy, I love your video's and your puppies are adorable.. I'm a holistic nutritionist and wanted to suggest sunflower oil over the olive oil. It's high in Vit E but doesn't turn rancid with high heat. keep up the good work. I wish everyone cooked for their pets.
Wonderful recipe, thanks for making a video to help people like me. One thing, you tend to play with Lizzie more (the large dog) the little one is scratching your leg for more attention. Bently, of course I don't know if they like being held. Just an insight, not a hater. I know you love your dogs, just like human parents with children, sometimes we don't see how we act with our babies.
Love it! I do make dog food for my 3 dogs and yess I was always getting the burn signal on my pot so it was great watching how you shared your solution to keep that from happening! Thank you!
I may start adding carrots to my dogs food. I put in rice, ground beef and string beans, I noticed lately she has left the beans in the bowl. She may be getting more picky because she is older. I taste the food and it’s really good.
I wanted to clarify the calorie content. How did you come up with this number per cup? There are a few ways you might have come up with this number, but only one way to be accurate. Because of the high moisture from adding water you cannot give a calorie content per cup unless you accounted for the water. I apologize if you already did this First you would have to add all the calories of what was added to instant pot. Second, you would need to weigh the finished batch on a food scale to get total grams of product. Third, you would divide the total calories / weight (in grams). Fourth, you would weigh out a cup of the food to see how many calories. If this wasn’t done then your calories per cup that you wrote Is definitely higher than reality because of the moisture. I plan on preparing this meal and I will be back with the actual calories per cup. Thank you for the videos and the education. Your dogs are adorable.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! My 4 yr old viszla was suffering with his anal glands. I now, as of today, am slowly introducing your recipe to my boys. Thank you for the help. God bless
So happy to have found your dog videos! I have been doing tons of research on trying to find good recipes, and almost all of them were lacking! Your recipes and supplements make me much more confident in switching to a homemade diet for my pup! Thank you for the great information, cannot wait to switch here soon!
👍❤❤❤ I made homemade dog food a long time. Lentils are great too. I'm NOT AT ALL a good cook but dogs loved it! Koodos for making this video. It's so much better for dogs and cheaper than store bought food.
You are awesome, cooking for your dogs ❤️ There’s saying “No matter how rich, talented or educated you are, how you treat animals tells me all I need to know about you” Those junk kibbles are the cause of all their health issues.
Greetings from the Republic of Singapore Lexy.... My dog Riley thrives on meat, rice & a little veg with apple... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & love for all our doggies who make our lives so much happier!!
I would add the oils after everything is cooked to preserve their nutritional qualities. Drizzle on top just before serving. Why do u add the apple? Fruit is usually eaten separately from meat & grains. Thanks
Great tip! My vet said apple acts as an amazing source of fiber so that is why I will add apple or pumpkin purée which keeps my dogs stool healthy and solid
Thank you. I had always heard spinach wasn't good for them, but you said your vet approved it? I had to fight back tears as we just lost our little yorkie, Romeo on January 23. Bently is spitting image of him. We have a shih tzu and and a lab and although we do give them home cooked food, we do still give dog food too. And though its high end dog food, I'd still rather just cook for them. As soon as I can get the other nutrients for them, I'm going to start. Very grateful I found you to help me. Thank-you
I love these recipes! My puppy is doing *so* much better since starting homemade food. Backstory: She is a 14 week old standard poodle puppy. Since getting her, she has had the worst bowel movements - they often had blood, and were always diarrhea! The vet gave her four rounds of dewormer, and we saw no improvement. Switching her to a “quality” dry food didn’t help much, either. Then, on a trip to Michigan, she ate a dead fish off the beach (so nasty!) and then had the best bowel movement thus far, which should say heaps about regular dog food quality. I figured that there must be something to giving a dog whole foods, so I switched her to a homemade food with supplements. She is clearer, much more alert, and has zero tummy issues now! I can actually pick up her poops now, which I never thought I’d be excited about 😂 I have been sending my family members with dogs to these videos. I have all the proof I need that it works!
I just started doing this with my dogs I’ve already noticed a difference in them! Their breath had stunk bad know their breath smells way better! Their stools are more solid their coats are shinier their not as gassy! Their not going back to kibble anytime sooner!
I love this ! You’re such a great mom and they are super blessed to have you. My question I wanted to ask is what do you give them for flea/heart worm preventative ? I’m curious since you seem to pay attention to what you give them
I've made this for our puppy 🐶 and she goes nuts over it 💕. Just made the 2nd batch yesterday. I'm only giving her a little then she gets her kibble also..thank you 💕
You are such a sweetheart girl!I love it how you love your dogs!you are doing a great job cooking for them!iv seen alots of video on RU-vid about cooking for dogs and everyone always forgets to supplement there dogs its so important!iv been cooking for my dogs for 14 years and they love it!!!!there blood test always comes out perfect,it's so refreshing to watch your video you got it right good job again!😘,kisses to the dogs🥰😍
