If you are making your dog’s food at home, ensure that you add these ingredients to have a balanced and healthy Dog Food Recipe.
KEY POINTS for Homemade Dog Food Diets
In general, for dogs stick to the macronutrients of 1/3 animal protein, 1/3 healthy carbohydrate ( ie sweet potato), 1/3 veggies ( ie kale or spinach), Fat in the form of Sunflower oil/Coconut oil, Fiber in the form of Ground Flax, plus a calcium supplement ( ground eggshell).
1. Focus on the Protein with balanced amino acid profiles (lean beef, chicken, turkey and egg)
2. The Carbohydrates are not necessary, but the ‘non’ grain carbs provide additional nutrients: Brown rice (fiber, protein, Calcium, Iron, Selenium and B vitamins), Sweet Potato ( Fiber, Protein, Vitamin A,C,E, Potassium and B vitamins), Potato (Potassium, Vitamin C, B vitamins)
3. Additional ‘balanced’ fat is necessary, a good Omega 6:3 balanced, nutritious fat I prefer is sunflower oil, but can also use Coconut oil.
4. Omega 3 Fatty Acid Supplement should be added in the form of Krill, Fish or Flax oil. Krill is the most nutrient dense and beneficial of all the products., with a great EPA/DHA fatty acid profile, contains the antioxidant Astaxanthin, and being high in Vitamin D.
5. Calcium is required as bones are not being consumed. I prefer Egg Shells : dried, roasted in the oven for 10 mins, then ground with a coffee grinder. You can also use OTC calcium carbonate.
6. Vitamins: Vitamin D is needed, but is in the egg yolks and red meat as well as being in high levels in the Krill or Fish oil. Vitamin E is in the Sunflower Oil and Coconut Oil
7. Minerals: Iron is in the animal protein and spinach/kale, Zinc is in the red meat and flax seeds, Copper is in the spinach, Iodine is on the Egg Yolks, Potassium is in the Sweet Potato and Regular Potato
8. Fiber: the veggies, the brown rice and the best source in my opinion (also the healthiest) is the ground flax.

Very impressed with Dr. Jones. The pet "food" industry is one of the most unethical industries out there. I have been making homemade dog food for 20 years and I am always looking for up to date information on ensuring a balanced diet. Put the time and money into your pets food, it will save you thousands in vet bills. Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food. Thank you Dr. Jones for sharing your knowledge.
My dog is allergic to fish. What can I substitute for this, please? Thanks!
My problem is serving size 😭 like for a 50 pound dog. How much food am I giving? Because after I give two cups of chicken, rice and veggies they’re still acting like they are starved!
Love this, thank you so much for all this incredible help and support ❤️ can we buy your supplements in the UK?
My dog is allergic to eggs and poultry. What would be an alternative to eggs?
Do you cook the sweet potatoes? Or mix in raw?
Sardines are a super food. My dogs love them. 1400 omega 3’s in half a cup, vitamin D, calcium and tons of protein.
I desperately in need of help with my dogs. They just refuse to eat most times, or, even entertain eating the same food daily. I am so stressed that I am considering giving them up.
Is he cooking the ground turkey or is it raw? And if he’s cooking….do you sautee it in the sunflower oil or add the oil to the cooked food? HELP.
I hear the tick drum n music!! Annoying. Loses ur VOICE. In the speaker. Finger snipping! Plz. Remove the sound effects! B 😊
Hi Dr. Jones! I really appreciate all your help and how much you care about the animal’s! Are these dog food recipes safe to feed puppies as well?
That dog looks exactly like my dog.
Fish, eggs, sweet potatoes. Can’t go wrong. I prefer fish because I live in an area where I can go catch 2 or 3 fairly easily. Can’t beat the price.
Hi Doc,, Do you ever use raw eggs and are they better than cooked or hard boiled ? Thanks
What about Brussel sprouts or broccoli greens, would that give my dog too much gas
Substitute for sweet potatoes?
Can eggs set in the food already cooked??

I’m trying to find out how many scoops per container are in your ultimate advanced canine supplement. I have two dogs and each one will be taken a different dose so I’m trying to calculate how long a container will last. Also are any in the ingredients from China?

What is the best kibble food for small dog
Hi’ I have been a huge follower and you inspired me to change my approach on my kids nutrition! I am curious on where you got your education? I’d like to join the cause of a healthier nutrition for our pets/kids. THANKS!
What about cats

What about olive oil instead of sunflower or coconut?
Dr Jones, you please do one for a dog with liver disease. As to what they need to help support it. Please 😢 THANK YOU
How much of this or similar recipes would I feed my 5 year old, 80 lb lab? Please and thank you
Whats a proper diet for a dog with bladder stones ? Calcium oxalate
Lol. Make dog food so complicated, then offer his product as solution. Very sneaky. 👎
Fat is nutrient rich for humans, not for dogs? Does fat make dogs fat? Wouldn’t adding supplements be not the point? I’d prefer to feed my angel fresh food. 👋🏻🇦🇺
Substitute another oil for sunflower oil. Sunflower oil is a seed oil
Thanks Dr. Jones My dog has having itching issues, due her store bought food, will definitely get a go on this, thanks.
Cook it up. Let me see ! Plz.
Stumbled on your channel trying to help my dog’s eyelid tumor. ESTIMATE from the vet would be over 600 and I just can’t do it…and she is 14 and I worry about the anesthesia. I am trying the things you said to see if it helps. I wish I had taken her off the kibble years ago. She actually likes one of the expensive brands, but it smells "chemically" to me. Started making real food for her and I SO appreciate you telling us what to put in it because I worried that mine wouldn’t give her what she needs…I also appreciate you offering your supplement because sometimes its hard to cover the bases…especially if you are working a full time job and balancing a household. Thank you Dr. Jones!
My dog eats twice a day. He’s 25 pounds and I give him 1 3/4 cups a day split 2 servings. 3/4 in the day and 1 cup at night Should I give him half of a scoop of the supplement in the morning meal and a entire scoop in the night meal?
My 17 year old pit bulls diet
Ground turkey meatballs boiled in tumeric/ veggie broth
Beef liver
Sweet potato and pumpkin
Local fresh eggs egg shells included
Spinach, parsley and oat grass I grow in my my garden
Loins mane mushroom powder.
And after eating I rub coconut oil on his teeth and gums.
This guy is such a good person
