Anyone making their own dog food??

[Steves191145]

We have made our own for years. We buy bulk meat whatever is on sale( turkey,chicken,beef) mix it with mixed frozen veggies throw in a can of beans and some salt. I mix it up about 10lbs at a time and make it into a giant meatloaf I throw in the oven. Dogs love it.

My dog just eats whatever is left over from dinner... I buy quality kibbles just to have something for him to pick at during the day if he wants but I think I'm feeding the neighborhood creatures instead.

My GSD gets Purina. She likes it. And it at an excellent weight for her size (unlike me....)
We supplement it with about 25% -40% table food.
Last weekend we were at a wedding. Came home with 2 T bones as leftovers for the hound.
We throw out very little in the way of food. Chicken, beef, cheeses, eggs etc. Dog food!
Hell, when my daughter or we get a baked potato, the dog eats the skin if we dont! Other than that, very little to no veggies.
This GSD is like the last, as in, she wont eat just because food is there. Even if it's table food!
She eats noticeably less in the summer also.

Human Grade food is KEY to minimal vet bills.
Look into pet food ingredients, many are very Carcinogenic.
Had a vet admit to me, it was the commercial food causing the Cancers in dogs.
He was amazed that I knew that as well.
An EZ fix, if your near a Dairy Farm is RAW cow's milk.
You usually buy it by the pound.
You might have to sign a waver saying it won't be used for human consumption.
But if you can get it, the dogs will Thrive on it and Nothing else.
So can you.

Having a milk cow we sometimes have quite a bit of milk left over, the animals enjoy it as much as we do. Raw milk is all that we've drank for a very long time none of the family has gut problems. Our Cow doesn't require us to sign any waiver. I make ice-cream that is hands down better than any commercial garbage in the market.

Does feeding 9 cats count as making our own dog food?

Does anyone else remember being told “ Don’t forget to shake the jug” ?

I remember it well, nothing as good as raw milk.

Drank it daily by the gallon when I worked on a dairy farm...

We keep it in a Glass milk bottle 1 Gallon with a resealble cap that prevents spilling when shaken the Glass somehow makes it taste better (maybe physiological only) but its definitely better colder.

We get our milk on home delivery from a local dairy. It’s not as good as raw but it tastes better and lasts longer than store bought. I believe it’s because of the glass bottles.
