I just made it!!! And my dog approved! She has been so picky lately and I was concerned for her. She was always sad because she would smell our food but was stuck with her kibbles. I really did not know what to do. Thanks for sharing. I cooked mines in our ninja foodie.
just a dog mom suggestion try petwellbeing.com I have a very picky chihuahua and started Spark supplement and homemade food on instant por and she is another dog since. I hope you find something there.
If you LOVE your dog--DON'T give it a lifetime of KIBBLE. In most cases Cooked human food will prevent ANY type of canine cancer and your dog will be happier and healthier. I had 3 other dogs that all passed before the age of 10. Now I'm cooking for an 85lb German Shepherd. It's a lot of work but It's a labor of love if you love your dog. Do you feed your dog kibble? How would you like to eat (insert your dog food here), for every single meal for your entire life ?
Great video. My favorite part is that dogs don't like cold food🤭 I make meals like this to my pup But he is picky so I have to add another step that is mix in the food processor. But I'm glad to find out I'm doing pretty good without even knowing lol:)
I would add some greens like Kale or spinach, Brocolli or Brussel sprouts. Add some blueberries or cranberries...those are antioxidants. I would replace rice with Quinoa (healthier grain and non allergen). Dog food should be low carb. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Do a little research, I'm not sure if Kale is good for dogs or not, Kale is high in Oxalic Acid. I've had kidney stones from too much Oxalic Acid. Some say it's ok, and some do not recommend it, so to keep your dog safe, do some research. I use blueberries too, you can also use mushrooms, shiitake are best but expensive, I just use button mushrooms (Cremini), they're high in vitamin D.
@@jumpercable20 Look into Dino Kale also called Lacinato Kale. Those are medium oxalate. Avoid the curly ones. And of course taking once a while is okay not everyday if one has kidney stones.
First of all I wanted to say thank you for this vlog. I have a pure bred Siberian Husky. She is very picky about what she like to eat. She won't even eat her food at all. So I went to the store and get that stuff. Boy she was one happy camper to eat all of her homemade food. I think she's more of liking her chicken than the turkey ground meat. Hope she will keep eating her food. I just don't like to see her being a very food picker. I have never seen a dog who is so picky about any kind of food in my lifetime. Thanks again and hopefully she will just keep on eating what I'm trying to do for my dog. Just want the best for my baby who is only 2 years old and please her what she is happy with her eating. I've tried everything to make her happy and dislike not seeing her not wanting to eat for some kind of certain dog food. Hope it stays that way. Thanks again!
Thank you for your message! I understand how frustrating the t can be when dogs won’t eat commercial food, and that is one of the reasons I started making all my dogs’ food from scratch over a decade ago. I’m glad to hear your Husky enjoyed the homemade food. You are a wonderful dog mama. I’d also encourage you to check with your vet at some point to make sure there are not other factors for why your baby is picky. Thanks again and all my best to your and your dog!
What a sweet and lucky dog you have, to get home cooked food! Great video, the only thing I couldn't determine is what is the setting you use on the Instant Pot.......is it "Pressure Cook"? I used to make dog food in the old-style, locking lid pressure cook that you put directly on the stove. Worked great but wore that sucker out, and upgraded a decade later to the Instant Pot. Thank you!
Great video!! I’ve been hearing about that salt lately. My dog does have heart disease but I think I’m going to start adding the slightest smidgeon to his food.
Julie, lentils cause DCM/heart disease in dogs, as do beans and potatoes. Please don't feed that to your dogs. The guy doing this video should have done some research before he posted this!
Btw, my best friend is a cardiologist. I would trust them since they are privy to science as opposed to the guy who did this little video in his kitchen.

If memory serves this should yield a couple of quarts, which should translate to several meal. Feel free to adjust ratios to make more or less, and yes, you can freeze. Cheers! 👍
Here is a good general guideline from PetMD (see chart), and as always, discuss individual needs with your dog’s vet. All the best to you and your pup! www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount
Thx for the recipe. I just started making my 2 pitties their food. I’m struggling with how much to serve them. Both weigh about 65-70 lbs. Any suggestions??
My dogs are roughly the same size and I do about 3 cups per day. But every dog’s needs will vary, so check with your vet. Here is also a basic chart with suggestions based on weight. www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/dr-coates/2015/july/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount-32905
Oh I’m sorry to hear that about your Corgi. My dogs have benefited from pumpkin when having loose stools, so it’s worth a try. As always, discuss this with your vet if unsure. You might also want to check out wheat berries, which have also helped my dogs with bowel issues. Here’s a video on those: Constipated dog? Here's my SECRET ingredient! th-cam.com/video/y9XKi9MV3u0/w-d-xo.html
I love your recipes and can't wait to try this one. I especially like that you used chicken thighs for this, I bought some this week because the price was so good. I did have a question. Currently I'm supplementing our homemade dog food with a kind of expensive supplement. I did see that you use calcium and omega 3's, are those the only supplements you use? Also, if you don't have lentils, is there a proper substitute? Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! As for supplements, along with calcium and omega-3, I add dog vitamin powder and a hip/joint powder supplement, usually rotating between days. Regarding lentils - peas, soybeans, or really any bean adds an inexpensive and nutritious punch. All my best yo you and your pack!
I have to watch my dogs weight. How do I do that? He weighs 70 lbs. since he doesn’t get lots of exercise due to 3 leg operations (bad arthritis ). He’s 7 years old.
Definitely speak with your vet to see what they recommend, both for feeding quantity and possible exercise that works for your dog. For an idea of feeding guidelines, here is one I trust, but again, speak with your vet about your dog’s particular situation. www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount
Because I only cook homemade food for my dog, I use the amount that is appropriate for their weight. I also add dog-specific vitamins before serving. As for portions, this site has a useful guideline on how much to feed your dog: www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount
Every time I try to make instant pot dog food, I end up burning it. How do you avoid getting the food burn message? Is it about getting enough water in the dish? Can you use bone broth instead of water?
Correct: Just try adding more water. That has happened to me, too, and I resolved it with more liquid. And absolutely you can use broth instead of water. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Great question. This post from PetMD has a useful chart - www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/dr-coates/2015/july/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount-32905 - For this recipe, you can use the amount suggested or mix it with your existing kibble/dog food. All my best to you and your dog!
Very tasty dinner for a pup, I am going to make this, thank you... I worry because lentils are anti-nutrient, I wonder maybe if I soak for them or quick boil them for 2 mins to make the anti nutrients to come out then proceed as you have?
Lentils aren't an anti nutrient. They contain a self protecting substance called lectins that might cause some digestive issues if you eat them raw. The lectins are completely neutralized by the time it is cooked fork tender. Having said that, I not sure that beans are necessary as they are mainly a source of protein for humans and you get plenty of protein with the meat.
General advice for the weight of your dog is about 3 cups of food daily, according to this chart from PetMD. As always, it’s good to discuss an individual dog’s needs with your vet. That amount is about what I give my larger dog, who is roughly that weight. Great question. Thanks for watching and ally my best to you and your dog: www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/dr-coates/2015/july/are-you-feeding-your-dog-right-amount-32905
I’ve found brown rice is good for consistency since it has lots of fiber. As with humans, fiber helps with regular bowel movements. As always, check with your vet, especially if you think your dog has allergies. Thanks for watching!
This might make 4-6 servings. My dog is over 50 pounds, so the quantity will go farther or faster depending on your dogs’ size and whether you mix in additional ingredients or use as-is.
Great video! How much food was that? How many times per day do you feed your dog? It just seemed like the portion was a little bit for your dog size? I have a Pitsky (pitbull husky) & a small Chipit (Chihuahua pitbull) How much food would you recommend for them if I make this same batch? Just not know how much the serving size amount I should feed them. Thanks so much, I can't wait to make it!
I would check with your vet. Any time we are talking about puppies and dogs in growth stage, it is crucial they get specific nutrients in specific amounts. Thanks for watching and blessings to you and your pup.
My problem when cooking brown rice is that it gets hard after a day even when I rinse it before or soaked it. I cook 2 cups of chicken thighs 1/2 cup of brown rice and vegetable on top for 23 min and 10 natural release. Suggestion?
I’d try adding a little more liquid, as it sounds like the result is dry. When refrigerating, also make sure to seal tightly. And if all else fails, maybe add a little gravy or butter when serving as a special treat 😀
This food is not balanced in terms of Calcium. A good rule of thumb is to add approximately 800 to 1,000 milligrams of calcium, or ½ teaspoon ground eggshell, per pound of fresh food
How much salt do you use? Also what other supplements do you use? Name and brands... possible how much of those as well. How many meals does this make? Thank you. 🙂
I’ve watched so many of this videos on how to make dog food using an insta pot and this has been the most basic and best video 🐾💯
Glad to hear! Thank you for watching, and all my best to you and your pack 🙏
I love using the insta pot for making food for my dog. So easy and not a chore to meal prep. Pressure cook with easy clean up.
Indeed! 👍
Your pup is beautiful. Every pitbull should be fed this way and given the love you are giving him! Thank you!
Aww, thank you!!

Same amount of water if you use white rice? Thx - this is super easy and my dog inhales it. Yay.
Yes, same amount should be fine, and feel free to experiment with ratio if it’s too wet or dry. So glad to hear your dog is loving it!

Good point on calcium - a vital nutrient for dogs. Here’s an entire video I did on that topic: th-cam.com/video/sd3z17F-6-g/w-d-xo.html
More chicken, more veggies, less rice and lentils. Also use deboned chicken breast, thighs are too high in fat. Lose the salt.
The wonderful thing about making your own dog food: You get to choose exactly what’s in it! 👍
The ratio of protein to carbs is really incorrect. That's one of the main things wrong with commercial dog foods.
you need to add some Omega 3 oils and calcium.
Yes, those are important! I supplement with bonemeal for calcium and fish/omega 3 supplements. Thanks for watching 😀
How much salt do you use? Also what other supplements do you use? Name and brands... possible how much of those as well.
How many meals does this make? Thank you. 🙂
All dog food in theory is cold.
Chicken breast is better
Certainly a great option that cuts down in the fat. Cheers!
