Easy Healthy Homemade Dog Food (and The Sweet Pug That Inspired It)
It’s important to note that dogs have nutritional needs that their meals must meet. This is why my homemade dog food recipe contains the AKC recommended ABCs of a balanced dog food diet. After all, we only want what’s best for our pups!
This homemade dog food is not an adequate meal replacement. Canine nutritional needs vary depending on factors including build, breed, and age. It's strongly advised to consult with your veterinarian to determine your dog’s individual nutrient needs before starting them on homemade food.
Carrots - These are packed with potassium, fiber, antioxidants, and other vitamins that can improve your dog’s overall health. Foods like apples, peas, beets, green beans, leafy greens, and pumpkin are also great sources of dietary fiber.

Sweet potato - This is an excellent source of carbohydrates for dogs. It’s low in fat and high in vitamins A, B6, C, calcium, potassium, and iron. Pumpkin and butternut squash offer the same nutritional benefits and also help regulate digestion.
Lentils - Legumes are healthy for dogs because they’re low in fat and calories but high in fiber and protein. You can also make this with whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats if there are no grain sensitivities.
Water - You need water to cook the lentils but for even more flavor, cook them in bone broth or chicken broth. Make sure the broth isn’t cooked with anything unsafe, like onions and garlic.

Spinach - Just like humans, dogs need their greens. Feel free to add green beans, broccoli, cucumber, or brussels sprouts instead. Check out this list of fruits and vegetables dogs can and cannot eat before making any switches.
Step 1: Talk to your vet! This is a very important first step. You should always consult with your vet before making diet changes to determine your dog’s individual nutritional and caloric needs.
Step 2: Cook the lentils. Add the lentils and water to a saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until they’re tender.

Step 3: Prep the vegetables. Meanwhile, add the peeled sweet potato and carrots to a food processor. Pulse until they’re chopped into tiny pieces.
Step 4: Cook the meat and veggies. Cook the ground meat in a large pot over medium heat until it’s browned and no longer pink. Add the carrot and sweet potato mixture, then the spinach. Saute until they soften.
No, but it contains the complete list of components for well-balanced dog food. Keep in mind that all dogs have different nutritional needs. Talk to your vet to determine your dog’s complete dietary needs.

Refer to this chart, Calorie Ranges for an Average Healthy Adult Dog by WSAVA before feeding your dog. Like us, dogs rely on calories for energy and to maintain a healthy weight. You never want to feed your dog too much or too little.

Best Homemade Dog Food Recipes
This recipe is the stovetop directions to make my Instant Pot Dog Food Recipe. I know not everyone has an Instant Pot (though I totally recommend using one to make life easier 😉 ) so I decided to make directions that everyone can use.
These recipes came about because the commercial dog food options that were available to us didn’t provide exactly what we were looking for in terms of optimal nutrition and we wanted something that didn’t come with unnecessary additives, so we talked to our vet and decided that homemade dog food would be a great option for us.
This recipe is pretty comparable to what you would get from the grocery store from Fresh Pet (I think Costco sells it in big tubes), except you can control what goes in it, and it’s fun to make it yourself!
Homemade Instant Pot Dog Food
The nice thing about making your own DIY dog food is that you can think about your dog’s needs and any food allergies that they might have. Instead of having to read a million labels, you are in control of what goes in the food. If your dog is a picky eater, you can also feed them what you know that they like:
Dogs are just like people in that there’s no “one size fits all” solution when it comes to nutrition – this is calledbio-individuality. All dogs are omnivores, where they thrive eating both animals and plants – as opposed to cats who are strict carnivores – but the types of animals and plants that they thrive on will vary from dog to dog.
Some dogs are allergic to chicken, some are allergic to salmon. Some can only eat venison. Find what works for your dog and they will thrive! Just like people – I can end up in the hospital if I eat poblano peppers and I have good friends who can die from eating peanuts. Bodies are wild.
Balanced Homemade Dog Food
Here’s how to make homemade dog food on the stove. (To make homemade dog food in your Instant Pot, you can check out my recipe for Homemade Dog Food in an Instant Pot. )
First, heat up a medium or large-sized pot on the stove and cook your ground meat. (Pictures 1 – 3) Drain off any fat and once cooled, discard it. (Picture 4)
Next, add your drained meat back to your pot and add your coconut oil and frozen vegetables. (I add a bag or two, aiming for 20-24 ounces, of frozen vegetables. If using a 12-ounce bag, use two. If using a 16-ounce bag, use one and a half.) (Picture 5) Stir to combine and let the coconut oil melt.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until most of the liquid cooks off and the oats soften. (Picture 8)
Remove your pot from heat and let your dog food cool before serving or storing. You can divide the food into portions depending on your needs – I usually split it in half and freeze one batch. I use a measuring cup when I serve the food, so I don’t take the time to split it into individual portions.
I like the mixed vegetable mix from either Walmart or Aldi that is peas or green beans, carrots, and corn. (Do not use anything with onions!) The last mix I bought had lima beans as well. You can also use a bag of just carrots mixed with a bag of cut green beans. (You know your dog so feed them what they like – this is such an easy
