 HEALTHY POWDER *
2 cups nutritional (torula) yeast
1 cup lecithin granules
¼ cup kelp powder
¼ cup bonemeal (or 9,000 milligrams calcium or 5 teaspoons eggshell powder)
1,000 milligrams vitamin C (ground) or ¼ teaspoon sodium ascorbate (optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a 1-quart container and refrigerate.
Add to each recipe as instructed. You may also add this mixture to commercial food as follows:
1 to 2 teaspoons per day for cats or small dogs; 2 to 3 teaspoons per day for medium-size dogs; 1 to 2 tablespoon s per day for large dogs.
FRESH MEAT SUPPLEMENT FOR DOG KIBBLE *
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 teaspoons Healthy Powder
1 ¾ teaspoons bonemeal (or 1,100- 1,200 milligrams calcium or 2/3 teaspoon eggshell powder)
50-200 IU vitamin E
5,000-10,000 IU vitamin A (or alternate regularly with Fresh Egg Supplement, below)
1 pound (2cups) chopped or ground raw turkey, chicken, lean hamburger, lean chuck or lean beef heart
Mix the oil, powder, bonemeal and vitamins together. Then combine the mixture with the meat, coating it well.
Yield: Slightly more than 2 cups.
At mealtime, feed ¼ cup of this mixture for every cup of dog kibble served. You can either mix the meat supplement and kibble together or serve each separately.
FRESH EGG SUPPLEMENT FOR DOG KIBBLE *
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Healthy Powder
1/3 teaspoon bonemeal (or 200 milligrams calcium or 1/8 teaspoon
eggshell powder)
50-200 IU vitamin E
2 eggs
Mix everything but the eggs into 1 to 2 cups of dog kibble. Break the eggs over the top.
Multiply the recipe accordingly when you are feeding more animals or large dogs. For 5 to 6 cups of kibble this would be: 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon powder, 1 teaspoon bonemeal (or about 600 milligrams calcium), 200-400 IU vitamin E and 3 eggs.
DOGGIE OATS *
Oats are a good choice of grain in cooking for pets. Not only are oats quick-cooking, but they contain more protein per calorie than any other common grain. It’s best, though, to add some variety by substituting other grains at times (as recommended). That’s because each grain varies in its amino acid composition and its vitamin and mineral levels. This versatile maintenance recipe for adult dogs ranges in protein value from about 22 percent (using fattier meats or tofu with bulgur) to 30 percent (using turkey with oats).
8 cups raw rolled oats (or 16 cups cooked oatmeal)
2 pounds (4 cups) raw ground or chopped turkey
½ cup Healthy Powder
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup cooked vegetables (or less if raw and grated) ( may be omitted occasionally)
3 tablespoons bonemeal (or 5,400- 6,000 milligrams calcium or
1 tablespoon eggshell powder)
10,000 IU vitamin A (optional if using carrots)
400 IU vitamin E
1 teaspoon tamari soy sauce or ¼ teaspoon iodized salt (optional)
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed or minced (optional)
15 milligrams iron (optional)
Bring 1 gallon (16 cups) of water to a boil. Add the oats, cover and turn off the heat, letting the oats cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft. Don’t stir while cooking or the oats will become mushy. Then combine with the remaining ingre-
dients and serve.
Yield: About 22 cups, with 205 kilocalories per
cup.
Daily ration (in cups): toy-2/3 to 2 2/3; small – 2 2/3 to
5 1/3; medium-5 1/3 to 7;large-7 to 9 ¾; giant-9 ¾ to 14 2/3+. |
