3. Raw Meat And Veggies Mix

Meat and vegetables are always a good fit. The veggies are full with essential vitamins and antioxidants, and the meat — well, point a dog that’ll stay away from a good piece of meat. That said, this recipe is super-easy to make and there are no doubts you’ll see the happiest eyes on your dog’s face when you serve it and he eats it. Want to check?

INGREDIENTS

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼–1/2 cup of any vegetables (preferably carrots, leafy greens, apples, broccoli or peas), chopped
  • A skinned chicken leg quarter with bone (chicken leg plus thigh and some of the back, which usually weighs about 1 lb)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Peel and chop the vegetables. Try not to make them very small, but not very big either. Choose the size that should be the most appropriate for your dog’s size.
  2. Chop the chicken, but leave some on the bone. Still, you’ll need to mix the rest of the chicken with veggies, or your dog will take the bone and leave everything else behind.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetables, the chicken and the yogurt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  4. Add the bone and serve to the dog. You can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

8. Raw Dog Cakes

All we need is treat! And if you’re feeding your dog on a raw diet, than it’s a raw treat. This one needs quite a lot of time to chop and dice and gring everything, but you get approximately 26 cups of a perfect treat. Which means, you’re basically safe with it for at least a few weeks! Works that way, isn’t it?

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups rice (brown or white)
  • 4 cups unsalted, no-onion chicken broth
  • 2 large yams, steamed or baked (I use the microwave to make it quickly)
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (in season)
  • 1 large bunch parsley
  • 8 large carrots
  • 1/4 head cabbage (optional — warning: ground up cabbage has a strong smell!)
  • 1 broccoli head
  • 6 celery stalks
  • 1 large zucchini and/or yellow summer squash (in season)
  • 4 large apples (more is good)
  • 1 # cranberries (in season, sometimes more)
  • 1 # blueberries (in season. These turn food gray. If it bothers you, skip blueberries)
  • Other fruit: peaches, pears, plums are all okay for dogs and nutritious.
  • 1# green beans (sometimes more.)
  • 1# snap peas, or whatever peas in the pod you have around
  • 12 eggshells or more (baked to dry, grind in small “coffee grinder”)
  • 9 eggs, poached lightly then cooled
  • 1 c. peanut butter (more or less — I use this as a binder & for protein
  • 2/3 cup nutritional yeast (lots of vitamins) or 1/3 cup dog multiple vitamin powder
  • 1 cup flax meal (if you just have the seed, finely grind it in food processor)
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds or raw almonds (finelyd processor)
  • 2 cups rolled oats, optional (1/2 ground in food processor, 1/2 whole)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup rose hips, dried and ground in coffee grinder

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packaging. Preferably use broth instead of water, it’ll be much more tasty for the dog that way.
  2. Using the food processor, puree you yams. No need to peel them, simply add to the processor and make the puree with all of it.
  3. Chop and/or grind your fruits and vegetables. The finer your final pieces are, the more digestible they become. This last point may be especially important if you’re cooking for a senior dog or a dog with digestion problems.
  4. In a very large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Use a big spoon or your own hands if needed. Your mixture should combine into a moist squishy batter.
  5. Spread the mixture on the baking sheet evenly and scoop out in desirable portions. Form the ‘balls’ or the ‘caked’ and put into freezer. You can store them up to 3 months. But to tell the truth, you’re going to run out of it in a few weeks, since your dog is going to just love it!
