Homemade Dog Food Recipes Slow Cooker

Pinterent September 12, 2023 Comment

The last thing I thought I would be doing is making Homemade Dog food in my crockpot for my fur babies. But here I am doing it and it couldn’t be easier. I literally add the ingredients to the crockpot or slow cooker and let it cook.

We only want the best for our pets, don’t we? My two pugs are a big part of our family and I want them to be around as long as possible. I looked into human-grade dog food from some online companies because after some research I knew this was a much better option than kibble. After learning the cost of the dog food subscription services, I quickly decided I could make my own and save money.

There are so many things you can add to your homemade dog food. Depending on your dog’s diet and needs, it is best you speak to your veterinarian. Here is what I used for my Homemade Dog Food.

After adding all the ingredients to the crockpot you will add your liquid. The first couple of times I just added water which worked out great. In my most recent batch, I decided to add in a cup of no-salt chicken stock in place of one of the cups of water. I thought maybe it would add a little more flavor. You want to make sure to only use the NO SALT chicken stock because of the sodium in the regular kind. Add stock is not necessary and is optional.

Once it starts cooking I use my Mix and Chop tool to break up the ground turkey. I then stir ingredients as needed.

You can set your crockpot to cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours. It really depends on your crockpot. However, mine was finished in about 3 hours.

Once your batch is finished let it cool completely before serving and storing. I use an airtight container to store my batch in the refrigerator. I also freeze some of it in freezer bags by dividing them into single servings. When you are ready to serve, you can defrost it in your refrigerator and then warm it up in the microwave. Make sure it is cooled before serving it. I do add a little kibble with the homemade food since we are adjusting to the new food.

My dogs love this recipe and have done so well with the transition. They look forward to it every day.
