Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?

my dad baught chicken breasts and he said it was okay to use 3 of of them for the dog.



does anyone have any good recipes for a good BARF/RAW or a healthy type meal for my dog :).. i've made a few before but my neighbour passed away and i don't have the recipes anymore, i think a friend of hers took them.



anywho, does anyone have a few recipes they can suggest that can be done in a short time, i think i might mix in some dog food with the meal so it won't confuse her. Eventually i might give her a healthy or BARF/RAW meal once a week when i'm done school. :)



thanks!Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?
Here are some basic raw recipes:

Chicken (with bone)

A small chunk of organ meat



Chicken

egg(s) with shell, if they are organic

A few berries



whole, small hen

stuffed with organ meat (1 chicken liver, 1 chicken heart etc)



Remember, always leave bone and skin on meat, it is very good, and a diet lacking bone will cause nutritional deficiencies, dental problems etc. Dogs can digest small amounts of vegetables, wolves naturally eat fruit and veggies. My dog eats a few berries about 1-3 times a week, and if he has not had some sort of plant matter, he will eat small amounts fallen fruits from our farm.

I would not feed raw with kibble or any cooked food, it takes much longer to digest and the raw will "get stuck in traffic" with the food, and the raw may cause stomach upsets and gas. It will not confuse her, she will know!



Good luck with your dog!



PS: feed her all three pieces, you may need a bit more food for a whole meal, my 37 lb blue heeler/pit/husky (my picture, hes eating turkey) eats about 2lbs of food a day. He is exercised for 2hours a day walk, along with a 4-5 hour mountain hike on weekends. so a 55lb dog may need more meat/bone for a whole meal. Yum!Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?
Don't do BARF. There is NO reason to have veggies (dogs can't even digest them) or fruits in the meal.



Don't mix the real food with the kibble. It digests at a different pace and will make her sick. Just skip a meal of kibble and toss down the real food for her.



The "recipe" that I have for my dogs is as follows:



2% of body weight a day. 80% muscle meat, 10% bones, and 10% organs.



You probably don't want to feed organs yet though, because she needs to be accustomed to the diet before.Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?
Umm... here is the recipe for feeding your dogs chicken breasts the BARF/RAW way



1. Give the chicken breasts to your dogs



2. There is no 2.







re: the above answer - Most grocery stores sell tidily packaged chicken livers cheap. Whole Foods sells Bell %26amp; Evans chix livers in a plastic container for like $2.99. Your dogs may not take to them raw at first, so you can wean them into it by boiling them first. My dogs said no to the raw at first but took to the boiled right away. Decent way to wean them (and you) into feeding organs.Any good recipes for a BARF/RAW diet meal or a healthy one?
Yea..



Step 1: give the dog the chicken breasts

Step 2: supervise dog eating chicken breasts



Done.
