My version of "Raw Food" (We try to keep protein at about 30%)
I have 50 lbs of dogs combined. 2% of their body weight per day is 1 lb per day of food (for the pack)
Here's a guide for one making food session:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken
1.5 lb organ meats (chicken livers; chicken gizzards, lamb veal or pork kidneys; lamb heart),
6 raw eggs
equal volume to the meat of shredded vegetables - generally a mixture of cooked sweet potato, brocolli, green beans, and or carrots or canned pumpkin (unsweetened). We like to add some frozen peas - they make the food look festive.
some fruit - apple or a couple of bananas.
1 cup of flax seed ground
1/2 head garlic smashed
2 cups steel cut oats cooked
1 cup Healthy Powder from Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats - nutritional yeast,lecithin granules,kelp powder,bone meal,vitamin C
Portion the mixture into containers and freeze immediately. I've found that the 32 oz containers work well and will feed my pack for 2 days. This way we don't have thawed raw meat sitting in the fridge for more than 2 days at a time.
