Ok I'm full force on the homemade dog food plan. I've done a lot of research and calculations. I do have a toy poodle that is not digging the mix but the others seem just fine with it. So I'm probably going to do a supplement mix for her, grind up vitamins, hemp seed oil, etc make in liquid and shoot it into her mouth. It doesnt taste bad. The brewers yeast taste really good and she likes it just not on her chicken. She loves sweet potatoes BUT not mixed with her chicken.
I bought large packs of chicken thighs on sale. I'm not happy about using them but figured it was better then dog food. My next step is finding someone local to process and grind chicken with some bone. The bone is very important for calcium. I will raise the hens or my buddy will and if its free range my dogs and cats will eat it raw. Mixed small amount of brown rice. finely chopped raw carrots romaine lettuce smashed in Vitamixer added hemp seed oil fresh hulled hemp seed (I buy in bulk keep frozen) brewers yeast raw egg egg shell dried and powdered in magic bullet garlic apple cider vinegar B Complex supplement Vitamin C powder food grade Diatomaceous Earth It seems like a lot but I'm mixing it up, storing a few days. will go a little longer even freeze some once I get my quantities down. Some things go on when it's served. Once I start feeding free range I'll have the processor save chicken necks and they will get one of these raw in the morning. The bones are soft when raw. Keep in mind that I have large dogs and a few I foster. It just wasn't affordable for me to buy free range or buy pre-made dog food, however if you have a small dog or just one dog it might be something you'd consider. I choose not to go all meat and raw. I will give them raw meat with bones but they will also get the other stuff including sometimes yogurt, homemade keffir, cottage cheese and organic fruit when I can get it here at the farm. I can sometimes buy organic applesauce cheap. Fruits are by far the worse when it comes to spraying pesticides.
