So, story time. One of our dogs was having serious digestive issues, diarrhea, vomiting, just having a miserable time. Took him to the vet and the vet said that we should get some Science Diet food, the kind that you get from the refrigerated section in the grocery store. We said "fuck that" and just looked up what you should do to make your own dog food.

Usual recipe: 1 cup brown rice 1/4 cup barley 1 lb ground turkey (the following are all rough chopped) 2 large yams / sweet potatoes 2 zucchini 2 carrots Then we also tend to add extra stuff like kale and broccoli (they love both of these).

Super easy to make. Brown the turkey, throw in a couple cups of water, and all the ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer for a about 30 mins, stirring every 5-10 mins. Just make sure you didn't use too much water, it shouldn't be a soup.

Let it cool, and for us, it's about 10 days of food for 2 medium and 1 small dog.

And their poops are perfection, and don't even smell. It's ridiculous. When my wife was gone for a week, I just made extra "dog" food and just ate that with them (with salt and pepper) of course.

Doing some rough calculations, it's about 2x cheaper than the cheapest dry dog food. It just takes a very very small amount of work.
