Homemade Dog Food Recipe

olive oil

lbs. turkey

sweet potatoes

carrots, peeled

zucchini squash

broccoli florets

chicken stock

macaroni noodles

In a large Dutch oven heat oil on medium heat. Add ground turkey, begin to break it down, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until mostly cooked through.

With a food processor finely chop sweet potatoes, carrots, zucchini, broccoli. Add in vegetables and stock to turkey.

Add in the chopped vegetables and cook on a strong simmer for 7-8 minutes or until veggies are tender and cooked through.

Mix in your cooked pasta noodles to the turkey vegetable mixture.&nbsp;

Portion out meals accordingly. For every 10 lbs is roughly 1 cup of food per meal.&nbsp;Example: If you have a 20 lb dog they will eat 1-1.5 cups of the batch per meal (2-2.5 cups total per day).Rascal weighs 70 pounds and eats about 3-3.5 cups per meal (7 cups total per day)&nbsp;

My girls are finicky when it comes to their food.  We eat as a family and they beg so we give in and share our food with them.  My bad, I know I started a bad habit. I have tried homemade dog food in the past and Ginger liked it at first then said no way.  Pepper hasn’t had homemade dog food yet.  

My question is what is the shelf life of prepared food.  Once we have cooked it I was going to portion size and put in the freezer. Also can we mix dry dog food in with the cooking process? 

We want to get them on a feeding schedule too.  I’m excited to try once again because the dog food at Walmart is over. My girls won’t touch it.  Ty so much you guys.  I will keep you posted....Yay!!

I have been having issues with my German Shepherd. Being picky, allergies, and just losing weight from being so uninterested in her food. She's been on Honest Kitchen Dehydrated food which I love but you guessed it she hates. I started adding in ground chicken, pork and other meat options and she ate it so fast as soon as I put it down. So I went to the Internet and my head was spinning with all the information!!!

I found you blog that answered all of my questions: How much should she be eating, what do I need to put in to, and how to make a big batch for the week or two weeks?

I went to the store the next day got all of the ingredients I did not have a food processor so I boiled all the veggies together to make them soft enough. then Added the cooked ground chicken and cooked Pasta with a squirt of omega every time I heat up a plate for her.
SHE LOVED IT!!

And I love that she eats when I put her food down and all of it! she's back up to 80 pounds and thriving!!!

Love this blog and would love any other recipes that you have. I kinda have just been going back and forth from rice to pasta and changing the meat from beef to chicken to Pork 
Always keeping the Sweet potato, carrots, broccoli, squash, and blueberries or cranberries the same!

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for the recipe! So informative and very easy!! I tried this for my dog and he LOVED it!!! We had some extra venison in the freezer so we thought we’d treat our chocolate lab to a special dinner. He's usually a fast eater, but I’ve NEVER seen him get a meal down as fast as he did with your recipe!!! You are the absolute best!!! More recipes like this for sure!!!

Mz dog loves this dog food. I have only one question . Is the 20 ounces of pasta measured from cooked or raw pasta and then cooked?

My dog Daisy Mae is a really picky 10-year-old lab husky mix. She used to love eating her dog food until she lost her best friend to kidney failure he was a german shepherd then she stopped eating sometimes she wouldn't touch her food for a couple of days she would eat her dog treats She just refused to eat her kibble even changing flavors didn't help. I didn't know what to do so on a whim I started adding ground beef and chicken to her dinner she liked that but I had to sit with her while she ate her dinner she preferred it that way.  Then I started adding some veggies to her dinner she loves broccoli but it had to be finely chopped it worked but she wasn't out of the woods yet. It's been almost two years dong it this way so I came across your recipe and thought I would give it a try she already came in the kitchen to see what I was cooking so it smells great I am going to give it to her for dinner tonight.  Looking forward to feeding her it looks delicious.
