DOG FOOD RECIPE WITH BLUEBERRY JUICE

                               The Food Group is Not Just for People!

**Update:  We have raised our puppy to almost 2 years old on this recipe for dog food and he is very healthy and smart. I see that since that time some dog food companies are starting to sell a dog food with vitamins and veggies and fruits. Good for them!  This receipe has kept our old dog and young dog healthy and actually saves us money plus we know what ingredients are being used in our pets food. I recommend it.

Blueberry juice by the case...$100. Save $20! Plus shipping unless bought at market.

Our beloved canine companion of 10 years died of a tumor despite our buying the best and most highly acclaimed manufactured dry dog food available.  We decided to start making our own dog food for our English Springer Spaniels. Being farmers, we know a lot about chemical misuse and trust USA products to some degree,  but really don't trust  food products produced abroad .   After the untimely loss of our pet, we feel strongly that perhaps better food could have added a few more healthy years to his life.

Precooked 3 pounds meat diced or cook until it falls apart (skim fat off top). Dogs are carnivores, so you need a good meat. Pork has the least chemical transfer compared to beef or chicken. Organic meat, turkey or venison is best but pork does well.   I cook a large batch of meat and then freeze it in 3 pound packages to use as needed. This really saves time. I cook the meat part once every six months is all and it really does not take up much room in the refrigerator freezer.

32 oz mixed vegetables
32 oz tomato or spaghetti sauce
32 oz Pure Blueberry Juice (Available from us-$10) 
Handful Walnuts and/or Almonds
8 oz Lentils

8 oz Barley
8 oz Green Split Peas
2 cup Brown Rice cooked in 4 Tsp. Olive Oil
Oatmeal to thicken
3 tablets (3600 mg) Flax oil
3 tablets (3600 mg) Chondroitin
3 tablets (4500 mg) Glucosamine

3 tablets MSN
3 multi vitamins

Thaw meat in your 10 quart stock pan on low heat. Add a touch of garlic if you want. Simmer vegetables, tomatoes, blueberry juice, nuts, lentils, split peas, two cups water and vitamins. Use a rice cooker ($20) and make 2 cups brown rice. Add rice to mixture and stir. Simmer for a little while.  Add 2 cups water or more and stir in Oatmeal to 2" from top of pan until water is absorbed and you can spoon mixture. Cool  and then refrigerate.  Feel free to experiment and improve and send suggestions to ChildsBlueberry@aol.com

Yours in friendship,

Healthy Dog Food for your Family Member

Fit for Human Consumption—

Final Product! Put a lid on, place in the refrigerator and scoop out all week long.

 Feeding amount will vary with the size, age and activity level of your pet.  We feed our 1 year old Spaniel  1 cup of the stew mixed with about 1/2 cup of the very best (we hope) dry dog food available.  For our 12  years young Spaniel, we feed 3/4 cup of stew mixed with 1/3 cup of dry - they love the crunch!  We feed them before work and upon returning home from work.  Our vet recommends teeth cleaning toys and bones.  We use baby carrots, blueberries, bananas  and apples  as snacks for our two boys - never grapes, as they are toxic to dogs.  

Our 1 year old Springer, who has lived on this diet his whole life, is larger than his Dad by 20% or more, has a larger head, excellent intelligence and is well developed socially. Our theory is diet and if we are correct, he'll be healthy and still going strong at 15 years old!
