Anyone here make their own dog food?

We started preparing our own dog food about 2 years ago when we started hearing about all the bad things and the recalls with the store bought dog food. We have 2 dogs who get 1 1/2 cups of food twice a day. Our dogs are 12 and 2 and considered mid to small sized dogs. I mention all of that because preparing food is time consuming and takes up freezer space. We noticed right away the difference in their coats and energy level. For me if I can get an addition year or two or more of life from preparing our own food it will be worth it. Everything we prepare, we do in our instapot. This is what we do:

• We buy chicken, always on sale, generally we get it for .99 a pound but have paid up to $1.99 a pound. Drop it in the instapot for about an hour on the pressure cook setting. Afterwards, we take the chicken out of the instapot and place it in our Kitchen Aid stand mixer and with the dough beater blade (not sure if that's what its really called) and mix the chicken until it shreds; all while the chicken is hot. We place that chicken into 1 gallon bags, flattened out and place in the freezer for later use.
• We buy large bags of brown rice, usually from smart and final. Again it's prepared in the instapot. We oil the instapot, then scoop about 5 to 6 cups of brown rice into the oil pot. Add a hand full kidney beans, 2 table spoons of Turmeric, 2 to 3 cups of oatmeal, add enough water to cover everything or use the chicken stock from cooking the chicken (we try to do that every time) and cook on the rice setting. We've learned if you don't oil the pot the beans will sometimes burn to the pot. Once cooked, which is about an hour, we add frozen mixed vegetables to the hot rice. We were adding the vegetables prior to cooking but heard that it would lose nutriants being in the pressure cooker/instapot. So we add it after now. We place this also in 1 gallon bags flattened out and then placed in the freezer for future use.
• Sometimes we add skinned and cleaned sweet potato's to the mix prior to pressure cooking.
• Our dogs like apples so we will add that in the bowl occasionally also (not cooked, just cleaned and diced).

We are happy with the results and with the pressure cooker/instapot it's really not difficult or time consuming since you can walk away while it cooks. And of course you can add or subtract things to your dogs liking. Our older dog is a bit bigger and he gets 1 cup of rice and 1/2 cup of chicken/protein. And or small gets 3/4 and 3/4 of each.

My brother buys Farmer Dog and he is very happy with the results. He has a large breed dog and although it is expensive he doesn't mind paying.
