      Great Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Parlandealey Pets Yummy Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering healthy recipes for dog food minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF finally got cool results with it.

    So I just did a lot of calculations. But I'm coming up with this being around 1230 k/cals TOTAL. I estimated this being right under 3.5cups. Meaning this is right over 350K/cal per cup. I would have to feed my 60lb Malinois about 5 cups of this a day. My 60lb German Shepherd about 3.6 cups a day, and my 15lb spaniel about 1.3 cups a day. Hope that info helps someone else!

    I recommend to cook the eggshell for about 20-30 mins at 300-350 F (perhaps while you cook something else), and then grind it. You will get calcium that is more digestible.

    I multiplied this recipe by 1.5 (I happened to have 21oz of ground beef). It came out to just over 4 packed cups. My lean, 35lb dog seems to like 1 cup/meal. This averaged about $4 meal for her. She was not really into the raw version, but inhales it when it is lightly cooked and served at room temp (she is definitely a picky eater- she will let her dry kibble sit all day, and won't touch it until she has run around and works up a serious appetite.) We will try raw again, but for now, we think cooked is better than not at all. We are shooting to filter in this meal every other night, and see if it is something we can provide every meal down the road. Baby steps. She is happy, though, and we are so delighted to see her love her food for once!!

    I make this every two weeks. Easy and healthy. Three tablespoons of ingredients rolled into wiener shape(thicker). Place in individual snack bags, freeze, and remove 1 pkg. in the evening, let thaw overnight, give half for breakfast and half dinner. I also make fresh rice and give about heaping tablespoon to meal.
    Thanks for video, my dog skin has improved! Has 95% stopped licking and chewing areas on her paws, butt, and belly. You saved not only my dogs skin integrity, but taking to vet, for allergies. She’s like a different dog.
    Afterthought: I serve meat raw with a little cooked rice, and my Maltese loves it. 😋 I also, as a treat..par boil (4min) beef ribs, when cooled, I cut most of the meat away from bone. Freeze meat for a snack. Freeze bones, and give as a snack (keeps tartar from teeth, and breath pleasant). This way I know what I’m giving my dog. My dog mostly stays on sofa, so when she has a bone 🦴 I spread small towel down and there’s no soiling sofa. When she has removed all the meat from bone, and has stopped enjoying, i toss bone in trash and place towel in laundry basket. When she see me spreading towel on sofa, she is so excited.

    I've been making homemade food for my dogs and cats for 6+ years. My cats have been eating raw but I've always cooked the dog's food in my pressure cooker, and fed supplements as well. I tried this recipe today using ground turkey and served it raw. My dog flipped for this recipe! He loves it! Will definitely be making it again and again using different meats/veggie combos. Thanks for keeping it simple. :)

      @helpfulnatural 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      6 week UPDATE: My dog loves this stuff!! I make a triple batch every 3 days, my dog is 100lbs. so 1 batch is one meal. I change out the meats every other batch: beef & turkey, and occasionally chicken, but not as often as the other meats. I also rotate different veggie combos, adding equal amounts of each: brussel sprouts, broccoli, kale, spinach, red bell peppers, or on occasion, frozen peas. My dog's itchy, allergy skin is at least 90% better! He's gone from constantly itching and scratching to the point of biting himself, to hardly any scratching at all. I couldn't be more thrilled!! His skin has cleared up and his fur has filled back in. He's also lost a few extra pounds. I'll be making this recipe for the foreseeable future!

I didn't listen because hey, this recipe is from DOCTOR Becker, so I trust it's balanced. Teddy loves this recipe a lot. We started giving him this recipe at night and a human grade canned food in the morning and he definitely likes the homemade food more.

She fed the amount of raw/gently cooked food appropriate for the life stage and weight of her dog.

    Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've ordered Dr Becker's book (along with Steve Brown's two books) but they haven't arrived yet. Right now our dog gets mostly home-cooked food with a little bit of kibble (Acana brand). I'm going to transition her to raw and will used this recipe to start off slowly. In a different video Dr Becker said to give the raw food as a treat for a day and increase the amount given, as treats, for a couple of days. If her poop is good after a few days of raw treats, give the raw as one meal (keeping the other meal for that day what she's been eating). If after a few days of one raw meal/day her poop is still good discontinue the old food and go 100% raw.
    I have heard others say that adult, raw feed dogs should only eat one meal per day but I've never heard it from what I consider a trusted source. Our vet agreed with me home-cooking for our dog when I sent my "recipe" to a vet school for nutritional analysis but I don't think she's as happy about raw feeding so I probably won't ask her. What do you think, Rodney? By the way, I found out about you through Kimberly Gauthiere.

      With puppies you need to be careful that they get the right calcium-phosphorous ratio and amounts, especially large breeds can develop skeletal issues. Bone has the right proportions of calcium and phosphorous and should make up about 10% of a raw/ barf diet for puppies. With this recipe I guess you'd need to increase the amount of ground egg shell, but there might be other considerations that I'm not aware of.

    Great recipe for beginners that will serve old pros and their pets well too. The only thing I would add is that, if you can get your hands on grass-fed and grass-finished beef burger, you don't have to add Omega-3 oils, because grass-fed and grass-finished red meats already have Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in the 50-50 ratio that seems to be ideal for both humans as well as carnivorous pets. Even Walmart and Aldi now carry such beef. Some of it is also organic-certified. I do like the idea of dog food that is perfectly safe for people to eat. Let's face it, if you buy a can or bag of dog food, and it's so disgusting that you'd have to hold your nose to try some, you don't want to kill your dogs with such slop, either. And you certainly don't want any children or elderly dementia patients ingesting it.

    I been feeding my dog dry dog food for years and am beginning to wonder if it took a toll on my dogs health. Now he is 12 years old and he does not want to eat any dry dog food at all no matter what brand it is. It started two days ago his complete discontent for dry dog food. I got some cooked chicken to see if he eat it, and he ate it up so the dog has appetite ,but only for real food not dried dog food. So after watching your video along with several other videos I probably will try to make him fresh dog food. I am hopping along with improving his appetite that the dogs health will improve. I should have done this years ago. I think there is some kind of misconception that dog food should be produced by corporations,because they know better then the average dog owner. I even watched a documentary on dry dog food, and basically in this documentary dogs are not meant to eat dry dog food ,and that it effects there health in the long run. I do not know, I am not an expert, or do I claim to be one .I do know that if the dog does not like dry dog food, and they become more lethargic and tend to have health issues then I begin to question dry dog food(I have bought expensive brand dog foods ). I think as consumers we tend to trust corporations to much when it comes to many important things, including food for ourselves and our pets. Thanks for the video, it gives empowerment and options to people who love there pets.

      It could be painful on older teeth. My dog is 16 years old and he went off dried food. But I found that by dribbling a bit of water onto the pellets, it softened it up a bit. My dog is being spoiled now, because we know he's on the final lap of life, so by mixing cooked steak - with all of its juices - he has returned to eating the dried/moist food. I get the same result from using chicken or ham in the mix.

    keep in mind, while dogs can stomach raw foods. They don't exactly use mouth wash after a meal. And if they are licking kids, they are spreading whatever bacteria is in the raw meat. This is something people often over look. If you have out door barn dogs, that don't interact with kids, sure, maybe raw will work. But a dog that is sharing a bed with people, will be covered in the bacteria. Because dogs lick them selves. Everything they lick, has the raw food on it. Just something to consider.

However, her vet believes that beef and chicken could possibly be the cause of her ear infections, and some skin itching. So, her vet told me to replace the beef with fish. So, that's what I've done. I use Basa fillets and tuna (while still using the sardines called for in the recipe). Could you please tell me if there's other adjustments that I should make due to the switch from beef to fish? The vet hasn't seen any other changes in Maggie's health other than the ear infections have cleared up finally, and the itching has subsided greatly. I give Maggie this food for one meal each day, and a holistic dry, vegan food (by Halo) for her second meal of the day. Oh, and I bake the recipe like a casserole in the oven. I layer the fish fillets, then the rest of the mixture layered on top. I multiply the recipe by 4 times, and I get a months worth of meals for Maggie.

    Our 7 years old GSD has arthritis. Two months ago Her condition became very bad and She stopped walking for four days. She was laying sideways and barely going potty. The VET said to give Her pain killers to manage the pain. Drug Her - This was VET's solution.
    I started cooking this recipe and now the dog is running again. Pain killers do not solve the problem. They only make the dog or person to not feel pain which can lead to even more damage.

      I hope you never know what real pain is. I agree that we need to look at everything when treating our pets and ourselves but to outright say that pain medication isn't a valid option is ludicrous. I have pain every day and I exercise, eat right and it doesn't matter, some people and animals are predisposed to pain or arthritis, etc & to not give pain medicine if needed is cruel. I'm thrilled your dog is better but I hope it never gets worse because there might come a time where just good food isn't going to fix it and your dog is gonna be in pain and your self righteous attitude isn't going to help.

    Great recipe, but you should also mention that according to Dr. Becker’s book (Real Food for Healthy Dogs & Cats fourth edition 2017), this should be fed in rotation and not every day because daily kelp for iodine supplementation that is non-standardized (in supplement form, like NOW 150 microgram tablets) can lead to allergies. I had to dig deep in the book for this.
    Another point from her book, diets with beef exclusively need to include hemp oil (or hemp seed oil, which seems more fitting, but the book states hemp oil-so I’m not sure) to add the necessary linoleic acid (LA) that ground beef nutritionally lacks (soil depletion, etc.).
    This recipe is divine, but please provide more information to the public as it’s not as simple as just “feed this and your dog will be healthy.” There’s tons of changing research. Much respect to Karen and Rodney (and Steve Brown) for creating this recipe, but please look more carefully. 🐶

    • @rj9536
      @rj9536 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Was there any mention in the book - or do you know the answer yourself, of a substitute for kelp that would provide the same nutritional benefits?
      And if there is no substitute, would this recipe work, for example, to add kelp to the 3-4 day diet and feed the rest of the week without kelp? Or would you lose some important nutrients this way?
      I am just starting to learn about homemade dog food and would like to try feeding my dog this recipe, at least for a while, as it is simple and obviously provides everything the dog needs.
      Thanks if you have time to answer. 🙂

    I thought my 15 y old beagle had a yeast overgrowth after watching Dr Becker’s ‘yeasty dog’ so I switched his dry food and saucy canned food for this recipe and it made a world of difference in his digestion. His poops 💩 now look healthy, his anis is no longer swollen and he doesn’t pass gas as much. BUT now he is suffering from skin issues...Could this be part of a detox from years of processed foods⁉️. I first noticed a round dark spot on his shoulder and then another and after a bath it rubbed off along with hair....ringworm? I haven’t gone to the vet because Of COVID19 and am trying to take care of this from home. THANK YOU Dr Becker and Rodney Habib for your helpful videos.

      The best food for cats with kidney disease is Feline Instincts. It's a powdered supplement mix that you mix into ground, raw meat along with water, canned pumpkin, a little bit of salmon oil. Here is the link: felineinstincts.com/feline-instincts-crf-my-natural-kidney-support-diet/ There are no ground bones in this recipe like in the Dr. Lisa Pierson recipe. Although that is a good recipe for healthy cats, it is not recommended for cats with kidney disease.

    Thank you! I'm so glad there's finally a recipe you can cook!
    I've long been reading about the benefits of a BARF diet for dogs and was excited about making the switch from canned wet food to raw. Unfortunately, my dog won't touch raw meat! No matter what I've offered her or how hungry she is (she will starve herself for days if offered something she doesn't want to eat), she even turns her nose up at raw chicken wings!
    I'm having to give up on the dream of raw feeding and go to the next best thing: home cooked. But I'm struggling to find the same amount of quality advice on creating nutritionally balanced meals (what makes it more difficult, is that she's allergic to beef, lamb, pork and wheat).
    Can the beef in this recipe be subbed for chicken or venison?
    I would really appreciated more videos like this for nutritionally complete, grain-free meals that can be cooked for your dog. :)

    I've made this recipe for my dogs once so far and it's great. Just a couple questions... Is there anything that can take the place of the sardines besides the cod liver oil? I have extreme sensitivity to smells and the sardines are a huge issue. Why does it have to be Carlsons cod liver oil? Can I use a different brand? We have fed both Ollie and nom nom but they were ripping us off, not sending near enough calories and both my dogs lost a ton of weight. This recipe is way more cost effective but the carlsons brand is so expensive and we'd go through it way too quickly for the price.

      Fats degrade when heated, which can create pancreatitis in dogs. If you want to pressure can the food , leave out the oils and add them fresh when you feed your dogs. Fresh or frozen is better for your dogs but well formulated home made canned is far better than most store bought, and seriously healthier than kibble.
