Why We Feed our Unique Dobermans Raw Bones and Natural Food
We here at Unique Dobermans feed a grain free high quality kibble along with steamed Normandy vegetables, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, raw and cooked meat, pressure cooked poultry bones and all and any other high quality and unprocessed food. Our kibble is from Costco, their puppy food in the yellow bag. We have also fed our puppies Taste of the Wild.
Keep your Unique Doberman puppy in a healthy weight, if you don't know what that is please take him to your veterinarian, or better yet keep in close contact with your breeder (ME), you don't want an overfed puppy as it could lead to bone growth issues, nor do you want your puppy's growth stunted by being feed too little.
A Unique Doberman puppy will grow very rapidly, keep organic coconut oil on hand and give him a tablespoon over his food each day.

Our Unique Dobermans are our family's "Ranch" dogs first and foremost!
They run and hunt each day on our acreage where they may find a variety of dinner menu ideas running around.

WARNING ABOUT COMMERCIAL DOG FOOD RECALLS:
Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Ultra Premium while still very expensive was bought out by Del Monte when they purchased Natural Balance in May 2013. Apparently, while the formula may be the same, the *ingredients* may be from a different source. China who loves dogs "Fresh"?
Orion dog food, Innova Natura Pet was sold to Proctor and Gamble. There have also been a number of recalls of their dog food since.

ATAN BALL RECIPE:
Ingredients
10 pounds quality hamburger meat with high fat content
1 lg. box of Total cereal
1 lg. box old fashioned oatmeal
1 jar of wheat germ
1 1/4 cup coconut oil
1 1/4 cup of unsulfured molasses
10 raw eggs AND shells smashed into small pieces
10 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
pinch of salt
Its symptoms include retching with no vomiting, extreme salivation, obvious discomfort, and distention of the abdomen. Gulping food can bring on an attack of bloat, and it is often recommended that dogs should be fed twice daily to avoid the hunger pangs that lead to eating too fast. Some breeders believe that foods containing soybeans shouldn’t be fed to breeds that are susceptible to bloat because the beans can produce gas.
Many cases of bloat occur in the evening, after the dog has perhaps shared the family snack of pizza or some other highly-spiced food and then exercised. Treatment is expensive and not always successful. Feeding moistened dog food and postponing exercise for a couple of hours after the meal may help prevent bloat.
