HEALTHY POWDER:
2 cups nutritional (torula) yeast
1 cup lecithin granules
1/4 cup kelp powder
1/4 cup bonemeal (or 9,000 milligrams calcium or 5 teaspoons eggshell powder) 1,000 milligrams vitamin C (ground) or 1/4 teaspoon sodium ascorbate (optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a 1 quart container and refrigerate.
1 to 2 teaspoons per day for cats or small dogs; 2 to 3 teaspoons per day for medium-size dogs; 1 to 2 tablespoons per day for large dogs. |
I got everything I needed at the health food store. It's not only for animals-it's for people too! I got it all and it cost about $40 and will last me probably 6-12 months! If yours doesn't have it, PM me and I will give you the name/number/website of mine in town-they ship and are reasonable.
Don't forget to add Vitamin E to the recipes you make...you can skip the Vitamin A if you use carrots or sweet potatoes.
I don't use other vitamins or Missing Link, as it made Emma itchy. I DO use flax oil in the recipes rather than plain vegetable oil. I also got this at the health food store-I think it was $9 for a bottle, but since I only use about 1T. at a time, it will last forever! I have to keep it in the fridge too, so make note of that. I use it because it has Omega 3's in it, and I'm not huge on fish oil
I also make sure to try different fruits and veggies periodically. This keeps their diet interesting for them, and makes sure they get lots of different vitamins and nutrients. For example, I make 2-3 recipes at a time and freeze. In one, I use carrots, another sweet potato, another broccoli, and then sometimes I 1/2 the recipe before mixing in veggies and add maybe zucchini to one and peas to another.
