Basic Dog Food Recipe (revised 9/26/08)
This recipe follows the principles in
Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural
Health for Dogs & Cats, by RIchard H.
Pitcairn, DVM, PhD. It is used by Cattledog
Dreams Director Jennifer Andersen for her
own dogs and to supplement the high quality
dry food fed to the Dream Dogs in our care.
This recipe is provided for information only,
and no claims as to its health benefits are
made. Cattledog Dreams recommends dog
owners read Dr. Pitcairn's book and conduct
other research to decide for themselves what
foods make sense for their own dogs. We
also recommend owners consider adding a
pet strength multi-vitamin (like Mega Pet Daily
by Azmira) and a glucosamine & chondroitin
tablet to their dog's daily routine to ensure their
dog is getting all the vitamins and minerals
they need.
BASIC CANINE RECIPE
3 pounds cooked pork (fat drained) or
3 pounds cooked or raw, chopped or ground beef, lamb, chicken or turkey*
2 1/2 c. pureed green beans or peas (fresh or frozen)
2 1/2 c. pureed spinach, swiss chard or other greens (fresh or frozen)
2 1/2 c pureed butternut or acorn squash (fresh)
2 1/2 c. pureed apples, blueberries, carrots or any combination (apples can be in the
form of apple sauce, and blueberries can be frozen)
1 t. Calcium Citrate or 2 t. very finely ground egg shells
2 T. Flax Seed oil
400 mg Vitamin E
2 T. Apple Cider vinegar
up to 32 oz. water or broth to puree the fruit and vegetables
up to 1cup of dried oats to provide firm consistency
Mix all ingredients together. Remember to add only enough water to puree the fruits and
vegetables and only enough oats to soak up the vegetable juices to make sure the
mixture is a nice lumpy consistency.
* substitute up to 1pound of meat for 1 pound of organ meat (like chicken or turkey
gizzards, hearts and/or livers, or beef liver or tripe) if you like. Also remember that,
unless you are buying organic poultry or beef, these meats are raised with growth
hormones and antibiotics that may be problematic for you pet. So, if you feed these
meats, be sure to rotate them regularly with lamb and pork as they are exposed to fewer
of these chemicals.
Makes 16 - 1 c. servings
