Basic Raw Dog Food Recipe

for a 20-25# dog



1/2 cup raw meat (ground poultry, beef, lamb, organ meats)

1/2 cup raw pureed vegetables (variety!)

1/4 cup cooked whole grains

1 teaspoon bonemeal powder (double for puppies and pregnancy)

1/4 teaspoon ascorbic acid powder with bioflavinoids (vitamin C)

1/4 teaspoon kelp powder

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic (not powder)

1 teaspoon oil mixture (2 teaspoons with poutlry)

Oil mixture:



11 oz. canola oil (cold pressed)

2 oz. wheat germ oil

2 oz. flax oil

Keep refridgerated in an opaque container.



Some folks eliminate the grains and increase the meat and vegetables proportionately, and only add the oil if poultry is fed. The meat must be RAW. Dogs should be fed raw bones (cooked bones will splinter). Vegetables must be pureed or they will come out looking pretty much the same way they did going in. Wild canines get their vegetable matter by eating the digested intestinal contents of their vegetarian prey. Variety is essential to deliver the correct mix of vitamins and minerals.
