What are pet owners saying about Grandmas Dog Food? Read real reviews before you decide to buy.

Alright, let's get into this dog food thing. I got fed up, you know? Looking at those bags of kibble, all the weird words on the ingredient list. My dog, bless his heart, started getting picky too, or maybe it was his stomach acting up. Reminded me of how my grandma used to handle things. She didn't trust stuff in fancy packages much. If the dog needed food, she'd often just cook something simple.

So, I thought, why not try it? What's the worst that could happen? Decided to call it 'grandma's dog food' in my head, felt right.

Making the Grub

First thing, I went and got the basics. Didn't go crazy. Just some ground meat – turkey this time, was on sale. Grabbed a couple of sweet potatoes, carrots, and a bag of frozen green beans. Some folks add rice or oats, and I did grab some plain oats too. Simple stuff.

Back home, I got out the big pot. You need a big pot.

• Browned the ground turkey first. Just cooked it through, crumbled it up nice.
• Drained off pretty much all the fat. Didn't want it too greasy for the old boy.
• Peeled and chopped the sweet potatoes and carrots into small chunks. Didn't have to be perfect, just small enough to cook down.
• Threw the chopped veggies and the frozen green beans into the pot with the cooked turkey.
• Added enough water to just cover everything. Brought it to a boil, then turned it down to simmer.
• Let it bubble away for a good while, maybe 30-40 minutes? Until the sweet potatoes and carrots were really soft.
• Near the end, I stirred in about a cup of plain rolled oats. Just to thicken it up a bit and add some fiber. Let that cook for another 5 minutes.

Once it was all cooked and soft, I turned off the heat. Took a big spoon, maybe a potato masher sometimes, and just roughly mashed it all together. Not trying to make purée, just break down the bigger chunks and mix it all up good. It smelled pretty decent, actually. Like real food.

The Result and Thoughts

Let it cool down completely, obviously. Don't want to burn the dog's mouth. Then I scooped some into his bowl. He gave it the usual suspicious sniff he reserves for anything new. Then he took a bite. Then another. And pretty soon, he was licking the bowl clean. Didn't see him eat that eagerly in months.

Now, does it take more time than opening a bag? Yeah, course it does. Takes maybe an hour start to finish, plus cooling time. And I make a big batch, portion it out, and freeze some. But honestly? It feels good knowing exactly what he's eating. No weird fillers, no stuff I can't pronounce. Just meat, veggies, oats.

It costs a bit less too, if you shop smart for the ingredients. But mostly, it's about seeing him happy and knowing it's wholesome stuff. Kinda like grandma's cooking always was – simple, maybe not fancy, but made with care. Seems to work for the dog just fine.
