Diet for adult dogs

Amounts given are adequate for one day's feeding of a 20-35 pound dog (depending on age & activity level). Adjust amounts of ingredients and supplements proportionally for your dog's weight. Starches may be decreased in case of digestive problems or for weight loss.

Choose one protein source (meat amounts given in raw weight)

1/3 pound boneless chicken breast or thigh, chopped
3 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/3 pound lean bison, lamb, or organic beef, ground or minced
Optional: once a week, substitute 4 oz organic liver for 1/2 of any meat source

Choose one starch source

2 cups cooked macaroni
3 cups cooked potato, with skin, chopped or mashed
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups rolled oats, quick, cooked
Supplements (per 20-35# per day)

pureed veggie mix, raw or steamed (up to 1 cup)
1 tablespoon olive oil, or 1/2 tbsp olive and 1/2 tbsp flaxseed oil
400 mg calcium (elemental, as calcium citrate or carbonate)
or 1200 mg (approximately 1-1/2 tsp) bone meal powder (human grade)
1/4 tsp salt substitute (potassium chloride) - give 3 or 4 times a week
1 multiple vitamin-mineral supplement (human quality) dose adjusted for weight
1 probiotic/digestive enzyme supplement

I use this recipe except I use frozen peas/green beans/carrots mixture and add a crumbled boiled egg. italian herbs for flavor and soy sauce (real light on the seasoning of course)
