Did you know you can make JustFoodForDogs nutritious fresh dog food recipes at home? We don’t gatekeep the secret to what makes us the #1 vet-recommended fresh dog food brand. We don’t want pet parents to settle for kibble because of the cost of fresh, so we offer everything you need to DIY homemade dog food for your furry friend right in your Crockpot.

You supply the whole-food ingredients, we supply the recipe and shopping guide, the nutritionally balanced nutrient blend supplement, and easy-to-follow cooking instructions.

Why Use a Crockpot Recipe to Cook at Home?

• Convenience: Crockpots are a set-it-and-forget-it appliance, a perfect home cooking tool for busy pet owners.
• Tenderness: Slow cooking breaks down tough meats and veggies, making them easier for your dog to digest.
• Flavor: Homemade pet food cooked in a slow cooker often has a richer, more flavorful taste picky eaters won’t turn their nose up at.
• Share the love: Give your pup a healthy dog treat in the form of a green bean, peas, diced zucchini, or blueberry while you prep.

Each homemade crockpot dog food recipe provides all the essential nutrients needed in your dog’s diet: protein, carbohydrates, water, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
