Breeder Switched Easily to a Raw Dog Food Diet

80 10 10 refers to 80% crushed meat with 10% crushed bone and 10% organ meat added, helpful for bone growth in pups. Choices include Chicken, Turkey, Duck, Duck Tripe Pork Organ, Salmon, Beef. Found at raw food suppliers near you in a variety of packaging. Some companies have freeze dried products that can be shipped everywhere. I stayed local and fresh/frozen where I could for quality control and research purposes.

I use pieces of bacon for treats and training. carnivora supplements breeder British Columbia

When I first jumped off the Kibble bandwagon in 2017, I began cooking for my dogs using long grained rice, hamburger and broccoli or Kale shaved in. Portion size and proportion of meat to base and veggie is critical when you prepare your food at home for your pets. I used the portion calculator from Carnivora to find the right balance so that dogs had healthy weight and did not become too thin or too fat. I also added coconut oil or butter if regular hamburger wasn't fatty enough. carnivora supplements breeder British Columbia

There has been some confusion over what dogs can and can't eat for vegetables. I looked at the purpose. Anti-cancer and recovery for my pets, so I went with Broccoli and Kale as my standard go to. I have used steamed carrots, fresh celery chopped, tomatoes, peas, spinach, sweet potatoes, yams, orange red and yellow peppers. 

Among the NO's: 

Asparagus, Onions Leeks, Chives because it does damage to the blood vessels and (except medicinal) -Mushrooms!

I didn't know dogs ate fruit! 

Bananas are our snack food for the puppies now between meal times instead of store bought treats. We have also used apples, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.

I use the berries sparingly with the veggie choice of the day and a base of rice or squash or potato to go with the thawed, crushed bone and organ meat choice.

Fruits to avoid are

 Avocado, Cherries and Grapes!

I mix it all up with supplements by eyeball but you will want to use the KetoPet calculator on their website to get the portions right at first which is critical to the diet. Link is further down this page. breeder carnivora supplements British Columbia

I add yogurt or applesauce or pumpkin if I want to ensure their stools (poop) are firm but not too firm and rotate it throughout the weekly diet. 

If the ground beef or meat choice does not have enough fat content, I will add two tablespoons of coconut oil or real butter. 

I add sardines in water at least twice a week. 

I have added an egg to the bulk of the food preparation for all the dogs I am feeding but do NOT feed just one egg each individually by bowl. Go to approved sources for your ingredients list, portion size, preparation rules and ideas, the link to recipes from a qualified vet, Dr. Karen Becker:
