Raw dog food recipes?

I need recipes, not ratios or percentages. I need an all-in-one balanced meal, too.



Thanks. :)Raw dog food recipes?
i do brown rice cooked in low sodium chicken broth with skinless cooked chicken with smashed in broccoli or carrots.



potatoes baked or boiled with beef whether it be gound, chopped, cubed with a dallop of low fat cottage cheese and peas or carrots (i smash everything together in layers)



rule of thumb when cooking for your dog is not pork. anything in moderation like a treat but no pork for them as a meal. www.wysong.net is my favorite holistic dog food they also sell powder shakers for you to add to your home cooked meals to make sure the dogs are getting all the nutrients they need. good luck I bet you will have a super happy dog;)Raw dog food recipes?
there's no "all in one" recipe.. the only way to do that would be to measure out bone meal, organs and meat and grind it up together.. which kind of defeats half the purpose of the diet. Dogs need to be able to strip the meat from the bones to eat it.



now if your dog is large enough to get whole prey every day, thats another option.. but Im talking like a pyrenese dog getting a whole chicken carcass.. with all the meat bones and organs... but even thats not a complete diet either.. he still needs larger bones from larger prey to strip meat from the bones.







Raw diets are done best if you provide your dog a variety of parts, bones, organs, etc.. some dogs may require more bonier peices than others.. its abit of trial and error to find the right balance for YOUR dog Variety is the key.



I get whole "fryer" chickens, butcher them up to appropriate sized peices, and that consists of my dog's main diet. Once or twice a week he gets a beef rib to strip.. and about every 10 days or so, he gets a meal of organs.. (some people prefer to feed a small amount of organs daily, as some dogs cannot tolerate a meal of nothing but organs). I plan to use some other meats on occasion, such as turkey, deer, etc.. but I find that chicken works best for my small dog, its easy to get, easy for him to eat, and a while chicken provides a variety of body parts, so I know he is getting some kind of balance to the meat to bone.Raw dog food recipes?
recipes?

there really isn't anything you do to it. it's just... that... i get a chicken cut it in half and hand it over to my dog.. that's it...



however

my dog eats.



half a chicken twice a day with zucchini right now.

next week he will be eating



chicken and turkey in the same day on most days except on wednesdays he gets his fish meal, (mackaral) five days a week he gets one whole egg with shell, and with each meal he gets 1/4cup of vegetables. he also gets 1 lb of chicken livers per week.. i mean.. wow okay i'm stopping right here.



.......there's really A LOT MORE research you need to be doing if you are going to feed your dog raw, what is balanced for one dog may not be balance for your dog.



i fear you have not researched raw feeding enough.



"recipes" can include

chicken, turkey, beef, oxtail, pork, fish, kangaroo, rabbit, venison ETC.....

the list goes on and on

you need, bone meals, muscle meat, organ meat, and how much of which....





ADD: to farmgirl... um.. there is NO COOKING in RAW feeding and CERTAINLY NO RICE.



each meal or whatever should specifically catered to your dog, and it all goes based on weight. what my dog eats may and probably is way too much for your dog.Raw dog food recipes?
There are no "recipies" - raw is..raw, and is percentage based. 80/10/10 - 80% meat, 10% bone 10% organ. If you feed 1lb/day, 80 percent of that is meat - the other 20% is bone/organ. I should also add, that it is 2 - 4% of your dog's body weight daily. And this has wiggle room for adjustment. It is individual, based on YOUR dog - weight, activity, etc, so no set in stone recipies.

Wow - I think raw feeding is more detailed than this. You may want to go to Yahoo Groups / Raw to get some good advice.
