Dog Food Recipe

I published my recipe for dog food on the web when webs were new and none of these premium dog foods were available. Although Taste of the Wild is good--I suspect they use imported blueberries laced with herbicides, pesticides and fungicides plus although they use meat--what condition is it in when they use it since no regulations apply. I also don't like the third ingredient--chicken meal but they are better than most.

What I feed my dogs is superior to all that is available anywhere. Copy and use the recipe, if you want.

I have a 25 quart stock pan. I fill it 1/3 water and bring to a boil. Add 2 lbs brown rice and 9 pounds of ground venison, pork, turkey or highlander. I mix in a quart of spaghetti sauce. I add a pound of lentils and a pound of split peas and cook for 30 minutes on low stirring once or twice. It should be at a slow boil. Then I add 7 pounds of all natural blueberries--frozen seconds (ask me about a good price on these by special order at the farmers markets), 4 pounds of vegetables, a handful of walnuts and two big containers of oatmeal. Sprinkle in 1/4 c. ground flax seed, 5 tablets (3600 mg) Flax oil, 5 tablets (3600 mg) Chondroitin, 5 tablets (4500 mg) Glucosamine and 5 tablets Fish Oil. Now I don't really let the blueberries, vegetables or oatmeal cook much because I want the nutrients available for the dogs. I leave the heat on low for 10 minutes, stir a last time, cover and let sit overnight to cool. My wife then packs this up in containers and we place it in the second refrigerator. This is enough to last our two English Springer Spaniels a month. We add a bit of dry dog food to each serving for crunch plus a cup of this mixture twice day. Sometimes we add milk and also the remainder of our morning fruit smoothie which has powdered vitamins added. This way the vitamins are not cooked losing their value.

This will last us a month. The cost is about $8 per batch when using venison but the price is closer to 28 a month when I buy meat and if I had to buy 7 pounds of blueberries, add another $14 dollars. So retail on this is about $50 per month for the very best you can get for your canine friends...the same as you would spend for a pig in the poke with commercial, "premium" dog foods.
