FAT BALLS

2 C Tomatoes-puree in blender, 2 C Green Beans-puree in blender, l pound Liver-puree in blender, and cook: 3 C Cooked Elbow Macaroni, 4 C Cooked Rice, 4 Egg Yolks, 1/3 Jar of Honey, 1 C Corn Oil, 1/3 jar Wheat Germ, 2-3 pounds Raw Hamburger. Mix all ingredients and add Chex Cereal or Oatmeal to bind together. Make "meatballs" out of mixture and freeze. Thaw and microwave individual meatballs as needed.

Satin Balls

* Cheap hamburger meat [high fat content}
* Lg box of Total Cereal
* Lg box of uncooked oatmeal

* 1 1/4 cup of unflavored molasses
* 10 eggs
* 10 pks of unflavored gelatin
* Garlic to Taste

* 2 scoops of Source/Kelp
Take all dry ingredients and place in a bowl. I crunch up the total while still in the box, and then pour all the other dry ingredients over it In a another large bowl put the hamburger meat and the wet ingredients. Mix each bowl well, then half each so that it is easier to mix. Mix just like you would a meatloaf I then take it raw, and place in freezer bags and put in the freezer, thaw out a bag as needed. feed raw. I use this not only as a quick weight gain, but as a everyday supplement for my dogs this recipe has been tested and analyzed by several universities and was found to be a total canine diet a dog could live on this without added kibble or any other supplements...this was before I added the Garlic and the Flaxseed and Kelp I have long hair black dogs, and this recipe really keeps their coat black/soft/long since I have...the past 6 months I have had no vet bills...and my dogs coats are wonderful, you need to watch how much you feed it will put weight on a slim dog in a matter of a few days. It will also make an easy keeper fat in just a short period of time. Try it, your dogs will love it!!! One other thing, I have just started to add Kelp to it also, just for the added Iodine, may be good for those dogs that have a lower normal thyroid function. You can make this recipe in what ever amount you need/want by just halving the recipe down to what you want.

Magic Meatballs

Serve with raw carrots, celery, or pieces of dog biscuits. Alternately, use to stuff cooked marrow bones.

Meals

* 8 oz meat scraps
* 1 cup whole wheat flour
* 8 oz dog meal
Grease a pan and spread half the meat in it. Sprinkle the meat generously with whole wheat flour. Spread remaining half of meat into pan. Sprinkle again with whole wheat flour. Cover with dog meal and pour broth over. Bake at 150C for 45 minutes and then allow to cool. Feed warm. Vegetables and cheese can be added depending on your dogs taste.

German Shepherd Casserole
* 500gms of any meat
* 1 carrot finely chopped
* 1 small potato finely chopped
* 1 stick celery finely chopped
* 1/2 cup sliced green beans (string less)
* 1 tbsn Gravox
Place all ingredients into a large casserole dish. Cover with water and mix. Place lid on casserole. Microwave on High for 10 minutes and then Medium for 10 minutes. This should be cooked at least an hour before feeding so that it is well cooled.

Scrambled Eggs Doggie Style

* 1 cup dry dog food
* 3 eggs
* 1/2 cup ground hamburger
* any other ingredients your dog may fancy.
Mix eggs, hamburger, and any other ingredients. Scramble. Pour over dry dog food.

Akita Style Lamb & Rice

* 1 1/2 cups brown rice
* 2 stalks Broccoli
* 2 or 3 medium potatoes
* 3 medium carrots
* 4 cloves garlic
* 1 sheet kombu, Sea Kelp (optional)
Brown lamb in a fry pan. After it gets going, put on the chopped garlic to brown. Boil water, put about 4-5 cups into a crock pot, so it is already hot while you are fixing the rest of the ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the frypan. Cut broccoli and add this to the crock. Put the rest of the works in the pot, add enough hot water to cover. Add pepper to taste. Throw in 1/2 cup brown rice and mix.

Katie Cudlin's Dog Food
A bit about the following recipe...Katie is a friend of mine with two very gorgeous and healthy German Shepherds. Katie follows the idea that your dog's diet should be composed of about 30% fresh and raw (i.e., unprocessed) foods because processed food has had the enzymes and micro-nutrients cooked out. Katie cooks this up about once a month.
* 8 cups oats
* 2 cups brown rice
* 6 Cups barley
* 2 lbs. carrots finely grated
* 3-4 bunches broccoli - grate stems, chop flowerets
* 6 zucchini grated or 1 lb. green beans chopped
* 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
* 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
Use 8 quart stock pots. Cook oats. In another pot, cook brown rice and barley. Cool (to save time, cook in evening and cool overnight). Next day: Cut vegetables - use food processor. Using rubber gloves, combine all ingredients in a 25 quart stock pot. Shape into balls about 1/4 lb. each. Wrap and freeze.
This recipe can be easily scaled down for smaller batches.

Home Cooking
This is a bulk recipe for those with more than one dog who want to feed well balanced home cooked food.
* approx. 5 lbs of ground beef or chicken
* 3/4 cup canola oil
* 4-5 cloves garlic
* 32 cups water
* 8-10 cups processed veggies (various)
* (carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers, spinach, beets, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.)
* NO ONIONS (not good for dogs)
* 2-3 cans kidney beans
* 1/2 molasses (optional)
* 42-45 oz oatmeal (quick cooking oats)
* eggs can be added to boost protein
In a large 24qt pot brown ground meat, add canola oil and garlic. When well cooked, add water. Bring to boil, then add veggies that have been processed, (frozen or canned veggies will work too). I use dried kidney beans and soak them the night before preparing a batch of food. While I am cooking the meat I have the beans in another pot cooking them. Once cooked, they are added to the above mixture. Next, the oatmeal is added. Frequent stirring is necessary at this point as the mixture will stick. Remove from heat, cool and put into containers. The above mixture feeds 3 Boxers for 1 week. I occasionally add pumpernickel bread and some times substitute brown rice for some of the oatmeal. This recipe is very flexible. I also add a mixture called Healthy powder to each meal. I feed twice daily and add 1 tsp of healthy powder to each meal for each dog.

Auggie's Wolfdown
* 16-qt stew pot with cover
* enough olive oil to coat bottom of pot
* 5-6 lbs. ground beef
* 2 50-oz cans chicken broth
* 4 cups water
* 1 3-lb bag frozen corn
* 1 3-lb bag brown rice
Brown ground beef in olive oil. When beef is cooked, add broth, water, and corn. (Note that broth and water amount to just over a gallon of liquid; you can also just dump in a gallon jug of water and add a bunch of bouillon cubes.) Bring to a boil. Add brown rice, stir well, cover, and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool overnight. Makes approximately 40-45 cups of food.
I divide the yield into generous 2-cup portions and freeze most of it (it freezes well). I always have some thawed in the fridge and microwave it for a minute or so to get it to room temperature. I then serve it as follows:

Breakfast
* 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown
* 1 cup high-quality all-natural kibble

Dinner
* 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown
* 1 cup fresh shredded veggies
* 2-3 times a week: a little nonfat plain yogurt and an egg yolk
Auggie was a reluctant eater with commercial foods; now he's a tail-waggin', dish-movin', food inhalation machine. Bon appetite!

Leftovers Stew
* Any dog safe leftovers
* 2 eggs
* milk (as much as your dog prefers)
* dog food (you won't need too much )
Cut up leftovers into pieces. Be sure there are no tiny bones. Use as much as you want. Mix in two raw eggs. Poor in milk. Use as much as you want. Mix together, and heat in microwave for 20-30 sec. ( or serve cold ) Poor over dog food.

Grrrrisotto

* 50g/2 oz cooked whole grain rice
* 50g/2 oz canned sweet corn
* 75 g/3 oz cooked chicken, in strips or chunks
* 39 g/2 tbsp plain yogurt
Heat the oil, throw in the potato pieces, and sauté until translucent. Add the mushrooms, and keep stirring while adding the rice and the sweet corn. Next add the chicken, stirring a little longer; reduce the heat to low. Keep stirring for a further 2-3 minutes. Lastly stir in the yogurt, reduce the heat to very low. Continue to stir for 1 more minute. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, lifting off the lid and stirring briefly every minute or so. Allow to cool completely. Sprinkle sesame oil on top of food (optional).

LIVER CORNBREAD

Substitute pureed beef liver for milk in an otherwise standard packet of corn bread. Follow packet directions, except that it takes less time to bake. Variations: use chicken liver or ground turkey or chicken instead of beef liver; use up to 1 lb of beef liver instead of 2/3 cup; add an egg; add garlic; add extra oil. Highly perishable, so cut into pieces and freeze. Very rich, a little goes a long way.
Mint Rice Hamburger

* 10 cups of water
* 2 pounds low fat hamburger

Bring rice to a boil. Add hamburger and mint. Bring back to boil. Mix well. Reduce heat to low. Cook until all water is absorbed. My golden retriever loves this meal and the mint gets rid of bad breath!

Pasta Hash Supreme

* 2 lbs pasta (The shapely kind has more texture)
* 2 lbs brown rice

Season chicken with spices and bake in oven at 400 degrees for 1 1/2-2 hours. Or till a little crispy.
After chicken is done. Boil water in a large pot add pasta. Cook 8-10 Min.
Dump rice and liver mix into a large container( it will need to be big enough to mix all the ingredients together. Large tupperware works great).
Place frozen veggies in colander. Drain pasta over veggies.
Debone chicken add to rice mix. Add pasta mix. Add cottage cheese. Stir well.
Serve mixed with a little kibble or just by itself.
Caution this can be a little messy with the rice kernels and cottage cheese. serve in a place that can be easily cleaned up after the pig out session.
Save chicken bones and boil with a pot full of water until 1/4 of the water remains. This makes a great broth for the next time you make the rice mix just substitute 1/2 the water for this rich broth. The dogs really love it.

Ghoulosh
1 lb meat - ground beef, ground turkey, ground venison, etc.
2c cooked BROWN rice
2 cans veggies, or fresh veggies (about 3 cups)- broccoli, asparagus, sweet
potatoes, green beans, carrots, spinach, kale
2 hardboiled eggs chopped and shells crushed
1 can of mackerel
2 cloves of garlic, minced
chicken livers or gizzards, chopped (about $1.00 worth)

Pulverize veggies, either in a blender, processor, grinder, etc. Mix all ingredients together in a big pot. Add enough water to cover, mix well. if you feed raw, which we do, place into containers, enough for one feeding in each, and freeze. We use plastic baggies. If you don't feed raw, cover the pot and simmer for about 2 hrs, stirring occasionally. When it is done cooking, cool, and place into containers or baggies, enough for one feeding in each and freeze. Simply get out in the morning to thaw in the fridge.
Dogs get this every evening for dinner, with 1/4-1/2c kibble mixed in, depending on size of dog. **feed 1c per 15 lb body weight**

Gravies
Doggie Gravy for Dry Food
* 1 Boneless/skinless Chicken Breast
* 4 Cups Water
* 1 Cup Flour
* 2 Whole Eggs
* (all items approx.)
Boil chicken breast for about 1/2 an hour, remove to cool. Add flour to chicken water. Beat out lumps. Add pre-beaten eggs. Cook on low heat until it's done thickening. Pulverize chicken in food processor. Add to flour/egg gravy. May need to add more water. Unfortunately it won't freeze. But using a few tablespoons daily, it should be used up before it sours.
Gravy Galore

* 1/2 Tin of pedigree chum
* 3 small potatoes
* few chopped carrots
* plenty of gravy so that the food is very moist.
Put your chum in then add the potatoes and carrots and mash them all together then add the gravy stirring it in as you pour. My boxer cassie has this every sunday and she absolutely loves it she cant get enough.

Microwave Meals & Treats

Microwave Minced Lamb with Pasta, Carrot & Parsley
* 1-1.5 kg of lean lamb mince (can use veal, chicken, beef or hamburger (lean) or combination)
* 1 bag of vermicelli egg noodles (Nanda/Maggi is better than Vetta)
* 250 g bag of grated carrot (eg from Woollies/Big Fresh)or do your own
* Half a bunch of parsley
* 1 clove of garlic (if very small, use 2), finely chopped or crushed
* 250 mL lactose-free milk (e.g. Pets Own) or water to make a veggie puree
* Half a cup of Meat-Bix (from pet shops, they get it in bulk and sell by weight).
Puree the carrot and parsley with milk or water. Use a hand held blender in a beaker or tall, narrow bowl, and use as much milk or water as you need to puree with. I usually end up with 500 mL of carrot and parsley smoothie.
Boil some water to cook the egg noodles in.
Put the mince into a covered microwave-safe dish large enough to hold all these ingredients and mix in the garlic. Cook on high for two minutes then remove and stir. Cook a further minute and stir - repeat this process until meat is cooked evenly (approx 8 minutes total).
Break up egg noodles (it is easier to do this now than after they are cooked!) and cook for 3 minutes, then drain. If you use the Vetta noodles, you will definitely need to add oil to the water first, with the Nanda it doesn't seem to matter).
While you are cooking the noodles, add the Meat-Bix to the cooked mince and mix well. It will absorb any liquid from the meat.
Add the drained noodles to the meat mixture and mix well - if you think it needs more cooking do so now, before adding the pureed vegetables.
Mix in the pureed vegetables. Divide into portions and freeze until needed.
COMMENTS
These quantities, if mixed half and half with dry kibble at feeding time, are enough to feed two 5-month-old maltese puppies for about two weeks.


Rastus' Microwaved Casserole
For a small dog, but is basically one third each of meat, veggies and rice, so quantities and cooking times can easily be adjusted for larger dogs.
* 1-1.5 kg meat (can use bite sized chunks of steak and kidney, chicken or lamb off the bone, or mince)
* 1 soup mix fresh veggie pack (carrot, celery, potato, turnip, parsnip, parsley, etc)
* Several leaves of silverbeet or spinach (optional)
* 2 cups uncooked Sungold rice (or about 4 cups cooked rice)
* Pearled barley (about one-third of a cup)
* 1 teaspoon crushed or chopped garlic
* 1 teaspoon crushed or grated ginger
* Dash of soy sauce
* Dash of red wine (optional!)
* Small squeeze of tomato paste
* Few pinches of mixed herbs
Cook rice by steam method. (I do this in a microwave steamer - takes 20 minutes for the Sungold rice). Place all other ingredients (except veggies) into large covered microwave-safe dish. Mix and cook on high for 2 minutes. Repeat last step until meat is mostly cooked. (about 10 minutes if using meat chunks) Chop veggies, add to meat mix and stir well. Cook 10 minutes and stir. Repeat last step twice or until barley is swollen. Add cooked rice and mix well. Divide into portions and freeze.
If you prefer to feed raw veggies, you could puree the veggies and not add them until after the cooking is finished.
NB: (for you guys outside of Australia). "Sungold" rice is just a brand of quick-cooking brown rice

Frozen Treats


Beardie Coolers
Ingredients:
* 2 fresh beef (or other species) marrow bones, each at least 1 in long
* water

In about a 2 qt pan, put the bones, and add enough water to cover the bones. Bring water to a boil; continue to boil for at least 10 min. (More time is ok, for a richer broth.)
Remove bones, and return any beef marrow to the liquid, along with any meat that you can get off the bones. Cool the broth to room temperature. Pour liquid only into 2-4 ice cube trays. Chop up the marrow/meat/gristle into little bits, and put them into each section of the tray. Freeze solid. Serve 2-3 cubes to your beardie on a very hot day. (Not too many if you made the broth very rich with extra bones or lots of marrow.)
Drink the beer yourself, while your dog enjoys the beardie coolers.
