5 pounds – 5 day supply for a 50 pound dog

Ingredients
 

  • 2.5 pounds 85% lean ground turkey
  • 1 pound turkey or chicken hearts
  • 1/2 pound turkey or chicken livers
  • 6 pasture-raised eggs without shells
  • 3 ounces spinach
  • 1/4 cup bone meal powder rounded (we recommend Better Bones) or 1 Tbsp eggshell powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp hempseed or hemp hearts
  • 1/2 tsp himalayan pink salt
  • 1/4 tsp kelp powder

Instructions

  • Place in the fridge for no more than 3 days

To Feed Cooked

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl
  • Move to a casserole pan
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 300 F for 45 – 60 minutes
  • Serve it warm and place the remaining food in the fridge

Notes

If you use poultry that isn’t raised on pasture, this recipe will have an omega-6/omega-3 ratio of 13:1. 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 to 6:1.
It’s important that you don’t add any 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.

IMPORTANT

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 17 day supply
  • 25 lb dog: Recipe will make an 8.5 day supply
  • 50 lb dog: Recipe will make a 5 day supply
  • 75 lb dog: Recipe will make a 3-4 day supply
  • 100 lb dog: Recipe will make a 3 day supply
NOTE: This food is for adult dogs only.
