Welcome to Raw Foodie Friday where I'll be sharing recipes of what I feed to my dogs, my cat, and recipes I discover online that I think are a great option for the new raw feeder.
Today, I make big batches of raw dog food with the goal of balancing over time. This allows more flexibility. If I'm running low on an ingredient, I don't panic because my dogs' raw meals will be out of balance. Instead, I add something else and adjust their diet later in the week or the following week.
Ask yourself – do you eat a balanced diet each meal or per day?
Despite this flexibility, I know that it's important that my dogs eat a nutritionally balanced meal, so I track nutrients in a spreadsheet and I have my dogs tested annually for nutritional balance.
So here is a recent recipe…please feel free to ask questions in the comments.

No, it doesn’t have to be ground. I often feed whole raw and add a vegetable mix (pureed or fermented) along with a food that contains bone or calcium.
Can I just give my dog the beef round and veggies/fruit? Does it have to be ground?
The turkey and chicken recipes do contain bone; the person making the video chopped up whole chicken and whole turkey and put it through the grinder. You can learn more about the recipes in Dr. Karen Becker’s book: https://amzn.to/2FFX5Ij

Hi. Could there be some measurements provided with these recipes?
If I do these recipes how do you add bone to them? the chicken and turkey recipe, do they have enough bone in them already?
