Notes

If you use pork that isn’t raised on pasture, this recipe will have an omega-6/omega-3 ratio of 14:1. 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 5:1.
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.

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
