HOMEMADE DOG FOOD | HEALTHY DOG FOOD RECIPE
We recently switched our 4-year old dog over from store-bought dog food to homemade dog food and Charlie could not be happier.
This is a great, well-rounded beginner recipe that is easy to make and can easily be scaled up and stored in the freezer. I really enjoy making fresh food for Charlie and hope to share more recipes soon!

HOMEMADE DOG FOOD RECIPE:
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 large zucchini shredded
1 cup baby spinach finely chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 egg
3 cups cooked rice (I like using frozen brown rice)
Heat a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add in the coconut oil and turkey and sauté until it is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the zucchini, spinach, carrots, and turmeric. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Turn off the heat and crack in the egg. Let the egg cook in the hot food, mix it around to ensure it is mixed through and cooked through.
Stir in the rice until everything is well combined. Cool and serve!

Happy Friday! I am super excited to share a recipe I have been making for my dog lately! I plan to experiment more – so let me know if you would like me to share more homemade dog food recipes. XO Dani
My dog food is my food so we are both good. my dog really love rice and field peas or mixed veggie.
Thanks!
Thanks my dogs loving this !
Easy to make and can eat it along with the dog. Probably alot less expensive that the high end dog food. I like this idea.
I made this, thank you Danny
Dogs should NOT eat cooked food, no grain based food
Love this! We have been cooking for our doodles for years now.
Is there someone here who knows if this is good for cats too?
Please don't take this wrong way , I love to make homemade dog food , but instead spinach can be bad in large amounts. Again don't get mad
Thank you for this video. I do have a question about two ingredients. Vets say Kale is good for dogs and rice has arsenic in it, and dogs can digest white rice better than brown. So I am confused on the kale and rice. I do realize all vets have different opinions.
When should I feed my dog and how much of it ? He’s 13 pound chihuahua mix
Thank you for the recipe can you use ground pork for the protien?
Please give more videos
This is not a balance meal for a dog and definitely not for a puppy. A vet might have approved this for a shot term but it is lacking nutrition for a long term meal plan,and rice is highly inflammatory for dogs and full of carbs that they don’t need.Please consult a dog nutritionist or do lots of research before embarking on feeding your dog a home-cooked meal. You can do more damage than good if you do not make it a complete and balance meal( which this is not).
I cook that dog food for my dog
This looks like something I could eat! I feel like cooking for your pooch is a great way to further build your bond with them. You will also know exactly what's going into your dog.
What measurement do you feed your dog a day with this recipe? Like 1 cup 2 or 3 times a day?
Raw eggs are really good for dogs
Thank you I will do this
Trying to get my dog off of pure kibble from Iams. Into a more healthy diet. He’s kind of plump but still is full of good fight and energy. Thanks so much for the info, going to try some of your suggestions.
Awesome vid! But I heard brown rice is too hard for them to digest vs white. Depends on the doggie I guess. Great video thanks so much
This dog eats better than I do 🤣
Lol. That’s 1 day for my dog.
going to make this for my senior 🐕
Thik hai .. nice reply 🙏🙏🙏
I feed my dog kale all the time
Vets do not recommend rice for animals / zoos don't feed rice to their animals foods either
I make my dogs food! They love it!
