Supplements For Rupert's Raw Food!


What you do not see is the supplements I add to his food. I change his supplements up each month so he gets a great rotation of healthy add-ins to his raw food. Rupert gets  Canine Joint Works and Omega-3 Gold, both are from Pet Wellness Blends and also Organic Raw Coconut Oil from Whole Foods.

Every few days he gets a raw organic egg mixed in and also some raw kefir depending if I have not drank all of it!. He also enjoys yogurt with me in the mornings. Whole Foods, Whole Supplements, Raw Foods, and Meaty Bones, for a happy healthy Rupert.

Here is a link (Pet Wellness Blends) to all of the Pet Wellness Blend products for Dogs, Cats, or Horses.

All Cut-Up and Ready- Part 2

All the meats have now been cut up and all the bones have been weighted and sorted. The bones I prepackaged so they are ready to pull out with each meal I am serving for that day. I weighed out my organ mixture and froze that ahead of time as well. Ground meats were weighed and frozen as well so they could be added to the containers.This way I had bones and organs already to go. Once I weigh out my meat I will then add in the portioned organ to that container. Once you get a system down it will be easy. The prep work that you see in these videos gave me 26 days of food and treats. The Thread Herring and the Trachea will be used as treats and supplements.

Setting Up To Portion It All Out!

Things you will need to get ready before cutting up your meats and getting them ready for the freezer.
Also there are a few great places if you have limited access to source from. I will post links to the 2 that I am using.

Rupert's Raw Feeding This Month-January 2017

Rupert is now 6 mos old and moving from grinds to raw pieces and parts. After sourcing from a few places we are ready to portion out his foods and get them ready for a month worth of feeding.

He is currently eating 32oz. of Raw Food per day. This is his breakdown
Meat 80%=25.6 oz.
Bone 10%= 3.2 oz.
Liver 5%= 1.6 oz
Organ 5%= 1.6 oz.

Bones this month will breakdown as follows:
Chicken Backs 44% Bone
Duck Necks 50% Bone
Turkey Necks 42% Bone
Duck Frames 75% Bone
Turkey Backs w/skin 41% Bone

Meats this month are:
Port Chops-Pork Cushion-Boneless Turkey Thighs-Bottom Round Roast-Beef Heart-Beef Lung-Ground Beef-Trachea-Beef Cheeks-Green Trip Chunks

Organs are a mix of:
Liver-Turkey Hearts-Pancreas-Beef Kidney

I weigh each bone and figure out the % of Meat and Bone, then take the meat content and add to his meaty pieces to give me his 25.6 oz of meat. Also if one is a little more that is fine. With Adult dogs you can balance over a few days, with a puppy you just need to be close. Also adjust bone amounts according to your dog's stool.
