How to Make Dog Food : Understanding how Homemade Stew can Keep Your Dog Healthy

[nfsprostreetZ]

I made this and my dog loved it

[bagleyy]

youtube, don't give me a freaking pedigree commercial when i'm trying to watch a video about bettering my dog's health.

[whatwedouche]

im a little tea cup sort of stout here is a handle here is the doubt

[crazeyashell24]

damn that looked good

[mandisilvers]

About how many hours does this need to cook in a pressure cooker?

[Ogrepro]

did u just chuck a fucking whole chicken in that pot! ooh my god that is so crazy!

[theanimalhouse101]

@tmhteacher you should never give your dog chicken bones it breaks up and splinters In their throat.

[bengalsrock1000]

would you eat it

[gettingahandle]

There is another cheap (in fact free!) ingreedient that all dogs love to have in their doggy dinner to give it real drop-dead irresistable aroma and flavor - a little cat poo.

im trying to feed my wife

[MichaelJacksonLove14]

It is not a good idea to give your dog raw meat because the meat can be bad. Also if it has raw bones in it , it can kill the dog. It can get stuck in their mouth, throat, intestines, stomach, etc. My friend had a Rottweiler and she gave him a bone once. It got stuck in his intestines and she had to put him down because everytime he went to poop it hurt so bad he cried.

[luverbitch]

@MichaelJacksonLove14

WOW! You are an idiot!

[cameronukz]

@MichaelJacksonLove14 if its a cooked bone

[AznxXxDreamz]

@MichaelJacksonLove14 It depends on the type of bone you're giving your dog. Normally, raw bones don't break into sharp pieces like cooked bones. But since this lady cooked the chicken under pressure (which is not just a regular cooking pot), the bones do become much more edible & will not break into sharp edges when your dog chew on them.

[tatulover01]

no your not meant to feed your dog bones at all no matter if they become soft or not!

[AznxXxDreamz]

@tatulover01 I recommend you do some research on your statement because it is false.

[tatulover01]

@AznxXxDreamz well i think its true unless you boil them in vinegar, which in that case they will make go all soft like rubber!!

[inckredible]

lucky dog!

[lotr4000]

A much better video would be one giving a list of things dogs are toxic to, like raisins, macadamia nuts, chewing gum, chocolate, cheese, onions, etc.

Think of it this way:

My dog has NEVER had "dog breath", and his teeth are sparkling white.

His coat is super soft and naturally shiny.

He has never had any intestinal problems/diarrhea, etc.

He has never had weight problems. ( Well, after we took him OFF of the dog food. )

Geezus! It's worth it for the "dog breath" aspect alone! :O

[lotr4000]

Oh no. No no no no no.

Dogs need neither veggies or grains.

They NEED meat, bones and organs. AND THAT'S IT.

And how in the world is a dog supposed to develop its neck and jaw muscles OR keep its teeth clean without Raw Meaty Bones?

80% Meat

10% Bones

10% Organs/Tendons/Etc.

It is FAR cheaper and 1,000 times healthier for your dog to feed them a raw diet, than to do ANYTHING listed in this video. I would BEG you to do your research before making misleading videos like this one. No offense.

[kaiserblr]

@lotr4000 Cheese is toxic?? i don't think so..... no its not!!

[multiplymelollipop1]

i wanna be a doggie!!

[yin7yang7wolf7]

n.n I'm hungry now.

[999Mariko]

Wow this IS crazy! RAW meat and FRESH veggies are best for your dog and boiling is unreasonable.. 80 percent raw meat and 20 percent veggies (and maybe a few fresh fruits) ..I just use a food processor to grind up the fresh veggies and fruits and in the end it will look like baby food . Then depending on the dog size I would put the raw meat (that I had cut into pieces) into a ziploc bag and add a scoop of the veggies (then put bags in freezer). This way I know exactly what I'm giving my dog !

[tmhteacher]

Far superior than any commercial food, BUT I have been feeding a raw meat diet mixed with a small amount of raw and cooked vegies for 7 yrs. Chicken bones are easy to eat if they are raw.

This is good for their teeth and nutrition. Most people don't know that dry food is contaminated with solmonella. It is a burned grain product, used to fatten livestock for slaughter. Dental disease, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, allergies & obesity are the result.

[Gianninawiddy]

she doesnt have a dog so she ate it

[PABSTMAN138]

if you cook the bones long enough like she did they crumble, they don't splinter. the chicken turns to mush. It is because you have rendered all of the collagen out of the bone. 

[Cavycare1]

Plenty of people feed raw bones with no problems, cooked bones splinter. @Juskallday Vegetables are good for dogs canines are omnivores not carnivores. Dog food is cooked and millions of people feed dog food. It's just as video guide every dog owner feeds their dog differently, not all dog react the same to foods it's a matter of using common sense and doing what's best for Cooking for your dog is helpful esp. when you have a couple of days and you run out of dog food.

[JuSKallday]

shes a idiot, dogs are not ment to eat cooked food, its not bad for them but raw food is much much better, plus they dont need vegetables, there carnivores. the best food for a dog (i know its pricey) but just raw meat and the bones (not chicken bones) and water.

[demonrotor]

@JuSKallday

They are omivores you knob

[fantaziigal94]

@JuSKallday the last time i checked, stray dogs who eat raw meat have a shorter livespan than domestic dogs who eat cooked meat. some food for thought. anw, not judging. Just saying that it is alright for dogs to eat cooked food. Altho myself, i feed my dogs raw dehydrated.

[jackie3388jackie]

My dogs just had his Bone snack 1day ago. He end up throw up and got very

bad breathing. I took him to Veterinary, Got him some pills

My dog its safe now. I think every dog has different condition cant put or judge

there health problem in same case. Has to see how your dog react to foods

my veterinary said. Puppy -adult dog- elder dog gets different primary meal

and serve on different amount of food. So becareful how you feed a meal.

Hope for all the dogs live long and belove by everyone

[Cavycare1]

@jackie3388jackie You're right, every dog is different and what's ok for one dog might not be ok for others.

[Kdawggful]

excellent video, just wish i could see it.

[dvrdon]

chicken bones are not safe for dogs, it may cause harm to dogs GI track. lausy vids again from expertvillage.

[sandp500analysis]

What about a pork roast, are the bones also soft enough to eat? Also, will the bones become hard again after it's refridgerated.

[redbutterflyz]

I think feeding raw food is better than cooked.

[GamingTard]

@redbutterflyz yep i agree! a dog needs to chew a little :)

[XR0ck3rChickX]

@redbutterflyz  they can get worms that way

[shelties100998]

wow the viewers know more than u lady :P

[TheCaneCorso]

that is not raw food dumb ass

[miraeja]

how many hours if "hours and hours and hours"? please be specific

[ZanyZoey411]

Remember that dogs have gone through an estimated 14,000 years of evolution from the common ancestor they share with the wolf. Dogs also far outlive their wild cousins, and their diet should reflect that. A wolf does not necessarily have to choose a meal that will help them live a long life; like most canines, wolves are opportunistic feeders who require massive amounts of calories to hunt, and keep them alive for the next successful hunt.

[ZanyZoey411]

A dog's digestive system is shorter and more acidic than a human's. They can usually fend off salmonella, however the bacteria can STILL be transferred to humans when the dog licks them. Also, bone meal is actually beneficial for dogs because it offers phosphorus and calcium which aid with the maintainence and growth of the dog's skeletal structures. Wild canids will eat not only bone but fur and hide also to help the bones pass through the digestive tract without puncturing any organs.

[ZanyZoey411]

It's true that uncooked bones offer more nutrients in the marrow than cooked bones, however raw bones (especially poultry bones) should never be given to your dog because they can cause serious damage to the digestive tract. Pressure cooking the bone to make bone meal is a good way to get some of the benefits of feeding bones without the risk of injury to the internal organs. My own Jack Russell choked on a bone, which was a very scary emergency situation.

[dtsimpson74]

I have a 1 yr old pit bull a 8 and 9 yr old heelers all eat raw leg quarters and love them. No choking and splinters or hammers needed. Cooking it is a waste of marrow and protiens and etc. A Hammer??????? Are you for real that would make bone meal ask anyone if bone meal is good for a dog? NO it cant be digested

[Thorralf83]

A dog is a carnivore!

[BernesePuppies]

Most dogs are omnivore, neither dependent on meat-specific protein nor a very high level of protein in order to fulfill its basic dietary requirements. Dogs are able to healthily digest a variety of foods, including vegetables and grains. In the wild, canines often eat available plants and fruits although African Wild Dogs are exclusively carnivorous

[shellybrown147]

hello if i have a small dog 8 killo dog how much from the recipe should the dog eat for one meal

[BernesePuppies]

People could do exactly as she does then when cooled enough can reach their hands inside the pot to remove the bones, the meat just falls off.

You could leave the bones where they will dry out then take a hammer & smash'em into a dust then mix into the next batch

[dtsimpson74]

Why do this that would make it bone meal ? Completely useless cant digest that. A dog can and will eat uncooked bones which are good for them.

[BernesePuppies]

A vet tells me even though dogs are less prone to get splinters from uncooked bones it can still lodge in the intestine. The suggestion above is for those that prefer not to take that risk, I decided to feed my dogs raw chicken but because some are competitive eaters and would swallow a whole chicken leg in 2 bites & 1 gulp I freeze the bird so they are forced to gnaw smaller pieces and may feed them separately so that there is no competition to see who can consume more than the other dog

[BernesePuppies]

It took me a long time to realize that even though some things occur in nature does not necessarily mean it is good for the dog. They did survive as a species prior to domestication but many wild dogs would die due to bones lodging in the intestine, they carried all kinds of disease & it was survival of the fittest or more often just plain luck if they lived a full life in the wild. Dog bites become infected & can easily die from that so to keep a dog safe there needs to be some caution taken

[BernesePuppies]

...which leads me to wonder if I should cook the meat to kill the bad bacteria's, would the dog get exactly the same nutritional benefits raw vs cooked. It might be possible that less stresses on the body could mean a longer life because we are talking about our domesticated pet that is part of our family that we want to live as long as possible & not some pesky wild dog that keeps eating the chickens that we'd just assume shoot So I wonder if cooked is better than raw for those reasons

[Lytzis]

READ! Just watched this video + everything was great except for 1 thing! Do not ever let your dogs eat bones, especially Chicken Bones! I use to have 2 poms, and I lost my sweet Billy because I did give bones. He woke up very sick one morning, by midnight he was gone. Found out his intestine was clogged because of the bones! No Bones at all! The only bones u shoud give ur dogs r store bought Dingo Bones, very good for their teeth! Made a huge mistake by thinking that you could give bones.

[BernesePuppies]

Had you given cooked bones?

My understanding is cooked are brittle & splintery, Raw are soft & pliable so I was surprised she said feed the bones after it's cooked & wondered if the pressure cooker keeps them soft.

I experimented with throwing raw chicken legs in the blender with bones, it actually pureed everything but the motor was smoking. I need a heavy duty blender to grind up raw meat & bones

[Yomalex3]

@BernesePuppies Yeah she mentioned that the pressure cooker would keep the bones soft. I'd imagine if you actually use a pressure cooker you can get the soft bones but if you're not gonna use a pressure cooker it's safer to take them out. I think they were soft cause she cooked it for hours and the way it smushed when she put pressure on it with the spoon.

[BernesePuppies]

Something else I did was give them whole raw frozen turkeys. This way they gnaw tiny pieces of meat & bone instead of swallow whole pieces

[xxLabrat407xx]

We feed our dogs RAW chicken. I agree that they should not eat COOKed chicken. Be them cooked in oven or in pressure cooker...the chicken bones will SPLINTER. When they are RAW they are digestible. Think about what dogs do in nature. Also, there is far more protein in the meat if left raw.

[JelloLovesRed]

@Lytzis .. ok I know that just giving your dogs bones can kill them but in this video, the lady stated that the bones will be softer and easier for your dog to eat when they are done cooking, Jeez you should pay attention. bye bye :)

[YouhGomooh]

@Lytzis 

[MrPitBull4Lyf]

@Lytzis You need to give bones for a healthy diet and teeth. Just not cooked bones.

[EATXR6T]

@Lytzis your must be kidding no bones thats absurd what do you think they eat in the wild PEOPLE DOGS NEED TO EAT BONES their dogs...my staffy would eat about a kilo of raw chicken necks a week and there is nothing wrong with him plus a big bone cut up the middle so he doesnt break his jaw trying to get the marrow out..

[sandp500analysis]

@Lytzis

But I've heard raw bones are fine. But for now I'm giving crushed bone meal for calcium.

[Moremooremore]

@Lytzis I disagree, but apparently there is much disagreement here. I feed my red-nosed pitbull rib bones that are thick that are of a good enough size that they won't lodge in her throat. I supervise her every time she eats them, but she loves them and has never been healthier. The biggest problem is COOKING bones, especially cooking chicken bones, which have a tendency to splinter.

[AngelRod77]

@Lytzis must be raw bones did u give ur dog cook bones?



[absolutsoju]

^^^ This person did not watch this video, or understand the use of a pressure cooker. She used a pressure cooker to render the bones soft, like gelatin. This way, you can feed your dog chicken bones, which is very healthy for your dog.

[Brownie7706]

How long should you cook this? She doesn't say! Anyone have any ideas???

[elaine31347]

Raw chicken should be "brined" or soaked in salt water for 2 hours to remove blood and toxins from the flesh tissue. Chicken will be tastier and juicier if you do that, for people and pets!

[Yomalex3]

@elaine31347 That makes a whole lot of sense. I always wondered about giving dogs who have never had raw meat, raw meat because of the salmonela.

[emoderndog]

It is so amazing how so uneducated people are about animal nutrition but write like they knew what the fu_ _ they are talking about!

[ngrpayton]

i hope my mom can buy all that stuff for me!

[risquecat]

My dogs never ate dog food in thier life and thier 15 years old! They act like puppies, always so playful. No major health problems. One has glaucoma one eye, thats about it. In MY opinion, dog foods are not as healthy as they like us to think. In every meal, my dog get fresh cooked rice, sometimes with beef liver, chicken, lamb, and even spaghetti. Of course I dont add anything like onions. They love steamed Brocolli.

[jameslikebond]

wow!! That is fantastic!! :) good for you!! I'm sure your dog is very happy living with you!!:)

[wwevids97]

please do not start becaude it will start arguements

[9aspengold5]

Sorry, leaving the chicken bones in the stew, not such a great idea.

[kingofbikes69]

The healthiest dogs eat the cheapest dog food and table scraps

[Kagomey101]

When I used to have a GSD I fed it leftover chicken bones and vegetables. We never gave him tiny bones, they could get stuck in the throat. We gave him the big bones. He would chew on them until the chicken flavour and meat was gone and when he did chew the bones to bits sometimes, his intestines never ripped or anything, the bones improved his health. We had to move and leave him behind with the new owners of the cottage and I hear he is still being fed chicken bones and is still a healthy hors

[sweetdictator]

I make petfood almost everyday

[PetxxLoverxx]

I would definitely make my own pet food at home. I dont trust Artemis pet food, a so-called holistic pet food. They are repackaged Costco's Kirkland brand pet food, and sold as holistic food.

[roguegirl29]

What are ingredients that you should DEFINETLY avoid?

[qxtroidinare]

Baby Food, cat food, chocolate, coffee, tea, or any types of caffeine. Grapes raisins, hops human vitamin suppliments containin iron, large amounts of liver, Macadamia nuts, mushrooms, onions, garlic (in any form), persimmons, surgary foods, and yeast dough.

But most of all try to keep a STRONG PROTEIN source as the main bit of the meal because dogs need meat, they aren't primary herbavours. Veggies are good but not as their primary meal.

[kyle444555666]

cooked bones are fine as long as they a cooked to mushed and really soft. I do it all the time for my boxer. She is right you can do this.

[axxobunny]

making stew for dogs? BWHAHAHAHAHAAHa

[lfphotog]

I know you are cooking this as a stew but meat is best eaten raw by dogs. But that's a fine point.

[TheWoosterMan]

What about the Vitamins?

[honeybgurl]

if the bones are soft enough, they do not splinter.

[runruff]

stop calling each other retard, how about some online civility?!

[chfireball]

Well she left the fat on the chicken.

And from the amount of chicken vs vegetables.

I see some clogged arteries for the poor puppy...

[redtail5]

my old german sheperd olmoast died becaus of eating rawhide UNcooked bones becaus they tore his intestines but he lived throught that only to die a year later becus of large breed hip problems...but my point is boned are bad regardles of if there cooked or uncooed at least those add square ones the big old hunkin bones and there cilender stick ones are ok

[blackie0nassis]

did you even watch the video retard? if you use a PRESSURE COOKER the bones turn soft. It's right there in the video!

[redtail5]

yea i did im just saying di you read the old comments retard

[lfphotog]

Raw bones are good for dogs. It's part of their natural diet that they evolved to eat. You dog was not normal in this regard. My dog eats raw bones and also swallows whole squirrels - fur, bones, teeth, claws - everything! She doesn't even burp! In fact, when she is catching squirrels, mice, etc., her coat is it's shinies. My son is a veternarian but not in my state. He and my local vet confirm that not only are squirrels not bad for her but they are GOOD for her! Dogs SHOULD eat bones.

[redtail5]

it depends on the shape. a nrmal bone is good but when your dog swallows those square ones, outch

[ilyA7x]

what the fuck! you let her kill squirrels?

you're a sick fucker

[trespasser4000]

actually,if you pressure cook the bones they become very soft lol

[hunjord68]

you should NEVER, EVER give dogs cooked bones under ANY circumstances!!! cooked bones splinter and can cause choking, or god forbid, tearing of the intestines. you obviously know NOTHING about canine nutrition. you are giving terrible advice. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

[lucylucy411]

do u have a pressure cooker?!! it makes things really really soft my mom has one

[LiQwID77]

What do you think goes into canned pet food? Bones! thats right, it is just cooked under high pressure until its mush.
