12 50 pound dog

Ingredients
 

  • 8 lbs ground beef (no more than 15% fat)
  • 2 lbs beef heart
  • 0.75 lbs beef liver
  • 2 stalks organic kale
  • 1 stalk chopped broccoli
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup Better Bones
  • 1/4 cup chopped maitake mushrooms (can be lightly cooked)
  • 3 Tbsp ground raw sunflower seeds
  • 2 Tbsp kelp
  • 1 Tbsp spirulina
  • 2 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl. If feeding raw, place in the fridge for no more than 3 days.
  • If cooking, move to a casserole pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 300 F for 45 – 60 minutes. The food should be warm and slightly pink in the middle.
  • Serve it warm and place the remaining food in the fridge.

Notes

Important

If you use beef that isn’t raised on pasture, this recipe will have an omega-6:omega-3 ratio of 8:1. This is quite rich in Linoleic Acid, a fatty acid that can cause chronic inflammation if not properly balanced with anti-inflammatory fatty acids including GLA and EPA.
We recommend feeding Safe-Sea daily to help balance your dog’s fatty acids. This will bring the omega-6/omega-3 ratio down from 10.56:1 to 2.57:1.
It’s important that you don’t add any fish or marine oil to the recipe directly. To reduce oxidation, marine oils should not be cooked or sitting. If adding marine oil or Safe-Sea, add it to the food right before serving.
The ingredients in this recipe have been carefully chosen to meet AAFCO minimum nutrition requirements for adult dogs. Don’t replace ingredients or vary the amounts too much … this may unbalance the food. You can add a small amount of fresh vegetables or berries with every serving.
 

How Much To Feed

In general, dogs should eat about 2-3% of their body weight daily in raw food. Here’s a rough guide for this recipe:
  • 10 lb dog: Recipe will make a 60 day supply

  • 50 lb dog: Recipe will make a 12 day supply
  • 75 lb dog: Recipe will make a 8 day supply
