    Is there any way you could share the approx calories count in the “heaping cup” that you use? I am slowly transitioning to only homemade food but i am finishing up some kibble that I have. I appreciate it and know that it is only an approximation. Thank you.

    Going off @faithsgardenofweeden7366 's suggestion…i have an electric roaster that'll hold up to a 28 lb bird, it also has a removable inner liner so you'd have an easier time cleaning up. Or if you needed to cook for large or giant breeds of dogs.

    I have taken to adding a dash of black pepper and about 1/3 tsp. Tumeric and 1/3 tsp. Ginger in my coffee. Didn't think about adding it to my dogs' food. Still learning as i go. 😊

    I think you are doing a great job!!! Don’t take some of the beings too seriously 😅. You know your fur baby!! Look after her your way. These big mouths don’t even cook for their own dogs, if they even own a dog?

    My lab mix is 10 years old. I feed her eggs when we eat eggs. She loves eggs and cheese. Ok haven't figured out yet how to get her to let me cut her nails. When we were in the city I just walked her on the pavement.

    If you REALLY want to save yourself time and energy invest in a 20qt electric roaster pan. It will hold EVERYTHING for a 2 week batch and you can add things as they need to be cooked. Then you can out right from the roaster into the bowls to freeze. One pan needs to be washed.

    Not sure if you realized that you made a mistake in the written recipe. You have down 5tsp of black pepper and 1/4 tsp of egg shells. I'm thinking it's the other way around….? If so, you might want to change that for some that don't watch the vid, they just go by the written recipe 🙂 Thank you for sharing !

    Add in some Kale, anticancer properties. Do away with the rice. Dogs do not need starchy carbs. If you want a healthy "filler" use quinoa. I love what you are doing. Always trying to convince people to feed better food to their dogs.
    Also note that if you ever use beef or chicken that has a higher fat content, the fat should be removed. Raw fat is ok, but cooked fat can lead to pancreatitis. So the meat broth should sit over night to allow the fat to rise to the top and then be skimmed off.
    Also add some cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, or brussel sprouts. For amount to feed, if your dog gets fat feed less, if too skinny feed more. I have a holistic/integrative vet and been homecooking dog food for over 6 years. My dog acts and looks like a puppy at 7. Also feed a can of wild caught packed in spring water no salt added sardines once a week. Greek lipped mussels are great for joint health, especially for older or very active dogs.

    This is perfect! I’d get more healthy fats though. That way the protein to fat ratio is more balanced. Maybe a 1/8 cup of coconut oil? It might also be a little low in calories if this is supposed to be a weeks worth. Older big dogs should get at least 1200-1700 calories a day. This would be well below that. I think at least.

    Wild blueberries are higher in antioxidants fyi, and they come frozen in a bag, also I compared beans to broccoli and went with broccoli. I also do half turkey and half ground beef. I just need to add something with more calories cause my old man seems to be getting thinner like old dogs do but he loves this food!

    I'm still seeing peas in your recipe. NO PEAS! NO PEAS! NO PEAS! Glad to see egg yolks. They are high in vitamin D, and so good to see you're grinding the egg shells for calcium. Please add some Omega 3, either from krill or other approved fish.
    A great, great YT channel to watch is Dr. Jones DVM of Veterinary Secrets He also has a recipe for dogs with food allergies.

    So happy to see how much you love ❤ Sable.
