Rupert's March Menu

                                                      
Rupert gets a wide variety of meat proteins, organs, and greens.
This month's menu comes from Hare Today and Whole Foods.
Since I decided to feed a few days of each package then move on to the next it made prep much easier as all I needed to do was split up the organs in the amounts he needed per day.

Breakfast For Rupert

This morning's menu is stew meat, chicken necks, chicken liver, beef kidney, turkey hearts, organic unrefined coconut oil, Canine Joint Works, Omega 3 gold, GLM, romaine hearts, celery leaves, dandelion leaves. The supplements are from Pet Wellness Blends

No More Bugs On Me!!

Here we are in the south with winter, or lack there of coming to an end. What most do not think about is the bugs that are about to follow come spring, or for us here very soon since our temperatures and dampness is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and fleas. A lot of times people do not think about the pest until it is to late and they already have an infestation. Usually they reach for some chemical to kill them, but from what I have seen those chemicals are not only harmful they just do not work. Our pets suffer the most because we have bought into the hype of you must have flea protection and heartworm protection or you are a bad pet parent.
Go to any vet office and you will see the little display they have of the heart with the worms crawling through it. Almost like a horror movie on display. How could you not buy into such a visual? Yes I know heartworms can be a scary thing, but only because we are blindly led to believe this.

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.

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.
