i have a home made raw diet that works great for us and you can make a super huge batch and store it in little cups for the freezer at your mom and dads. i would feed this stuff by itself, two-three times per day. leave the kibble of choosing out for free feed, but have them feed this mix if they will. look it over and see what you think.

This is the recipe from my aunt's mom, who is a hobby dog nutritionist

I usually double the batch:
1/2 lb lean ground beef (80% or leaner)
2 can sardines (or canned salmon of the same weight)
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 c. veg of choice (spinach, carrots, etc.)
2 large eggs (slightly cooked)
3/4 tablespoon bone meal
1/2 teaspoon potassium
1 tablespoon safflower oil
= 1569 calories

I find the sardines rather smelly - so I substitute 4 oz of cottage cheese or ground turkey (I usually do both!). My hubby hunts, so I sometimes replace the hamburger with deerburger. Do not substitute ground pork. Since I removed the sardines (a very important ingredient), then I squeeze a fish oil caplet every other day over her breakfast. I also add 1/3 childrens multivitamin daily (the ones without artificial sweetener). Feel free to add 1 oz of liver to the batch - its good for them. All human grade products.

I get the bone meal and potassium from iherb.com.

I first made a batch without all the supplements - just to see if Bailey liked it. SHE LOVED IT - so its been this recipe ever since!

I serve one spoonful per serving (the larger spoons) twice a day. It doesnt seem like much - I know. I store it in 10 oz plastic containers about 3/4 full in the freezer- one container lasts about 3 days.

Tip: I put the raw eggs in the hot rice and let it sit a while (hence partially cooked eggs)

Good luck!!! Let me know if you need anything!
