Recipe for a Healthy Diet
Wednesday, August 10, 2016
This recipe is roughly enough to feed a pet 15-30 lbs. Adjust to the needs of your pet. Generally, one meal daily is adequate. Allow pet to eat its fill. Pick up leftovers after 20 minutes.
- 1/2 lb. raw beef, chicken, lamb, turkey, venison, occasionally seafood or eggs
- 1/4 tsp. powdered kelp or other sea vegetables
- 1/2 tbs. bone meal (1 tsp. if bones are fed often) or a rounded ½ tsp. EggShellent Calcium
- 1/2 cup pureed raw veggie mix: carrots, zucchini, sprouts, broccoli, celery, parsley, cucumber, beets, other green leaves
- 1/2 tsp. of spirulina, barley powder, wheat grass juice powder, bee pollen or green food supplement such asPetiGreens
Some pets need additional oil in their diet. If your pet does, try 1/2 - 1 tsp. of high quality fish oil. Most pet food recipes include grains such as oatmeal or brown rice. I prefer no grain.
Always have fresh purified water available. If using distilled or reverse osmosis water, add liquid ionic trace minerals as per label directions.
