We don't use a "recipe" -- we feed prey-model which means that we try to balance out the dog's nutritional needs over time. This equals out to 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ meat with 5% of that being liver. This can be fed every meal but usually PMR feeders try to balance over a week or a month. We aim for a week. If you want to do this I can send you a lot of great links to do some research. Once you start PMR you'll find that it's easier than it sounds and WAY cheaper in the long run, if you buy in bulk and shop the local sales. We a part of a co-op that orders from a Texas company and get GREAT prices on orders.

I don't know if you're wanting to do that or make your own "grind". I think PMR is better for many reasons, two of which being that is is easier (you don't need a meat grinder) and two, (as you mentioned) eating raw meaty bones is great for their teeth. The act of ripping and tearing meat provides both mental and physical exercise. If you still want to make a grind for whatever reasons, you could follow the same 80/10/10 ratio.

There is another option.. I personally don't feed any grains or vegetables but RachelandSadie PM'ed me a great raw recipe with added grains and veggies if you're interested. I think it was formulated by a nutritionist. You could PM her directly for it.

Hope this was helpful!
