I finally made the switch from kibble to homemade dog food for my 5-year-old Golden Retriever, Luna, and I wish I had done it sooner.
She used to have dry skin, irregular stools, and no interest in food. After researching a ton (and checking with my vet), I started this simple homemade recipe:
-
1 cup boiled chicken (no skin)
-
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
-
1/4 cup steamed carrots & peas
-
1/4 tsp fish oil
After 3 weeks:
Shinier coat
Smaller, firmer poops
She gets excited at mealtime againI’m still learning, especially about the right balance of calcium and vitamins. Has anyone else tried homemade food? What recipe works for your dog? Open to feedback and ideas!
Feed Your dog the Best with Homemade Dog Food!High-quality meals loved by dogs and trusted by owners.🥇 2104+ repeat purchases in 30 days!I love this! I’ve been making food for my Husky mix for 6 months now. I use ground turkey instead of chicken, and I add pumpkin for digestion. My only mistake early on was not adding a calcium supplement; her vet noticed signs in her nails.
Now I use ground eggshell powder in each batch. Big difference!
Great results! Just a tip: I rotate between beef and salmon every other week to give my dog variety. It keeps him interested and ensures he’s not lacking in amino acids.
I also sometimes substitute quinoa for rice. It has a lower glycemic index and is great for dogs prone to weight gain.
This is such a useful recipe. I tried homemade for my senior Dachshund, but I made the mistake of not tracking calories. He gained 3 lbs in a month
Now I portion everything and pre-freeze weekly meals. I also added a dash of turmeric (anti-inflammatory) helped his stiff legs!
