Raw Food Diet for your Doberman
A basic rule of thumb for feeding a raw diet is to feed 2% of your dog’s body weight. So if you have a 50 pound dog, they would be fed 1 pound of raw food per day. Unless you plan on buying a heavy duty meat grinder and grinding your own chicken necks and backs, a wonderful source for a complete 100% Organic Raw Chicken Diet is a company called Nature’s Variety. Their frozen diets can be found in select Pet Food stores across the US and Canada. The company has a store locator for on their website. Should you wish to prepare raw food yourself for your canine companion, there is endless information available online as well as many books on RAW food and BARF diets for Dogs. There are many companies that prepare and sell raw meals for dogs, but one of the only ones I have found that prepare an exclusively 100% Certified Organic line is NaturesVariety.com, I am sure there are other companies out there who make organic raw food, but make sure it is just that, ORGANIC. I have seen many companies who state they use “Organic ingredients when available”, which I do not trust. Natures Variety Organic Raw chicken comes in small 1 oz medallions which are great for small breeds and is also available in 8 oz patties for larger dogs. Make sure if you decide to go with a store bought raw food you don’t forget to add more fresh raw pureed veggies and of course your Dog Greens! Transitional Diet This recipe is easily pureed so it can be syringe fed to animals whose illness has caused them to lose their appetite. While animals will instinctively fast when they are ill which is natural and can be helpful in healing, it is important not let them go without food for more than a few days. Below you will find recipes broken down into Daily Amounts based on your dog’s weight. 10 Pounds 1/5 Pound (90 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 1/2 cup Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 1/2 cup organic veggies 1/2 Teaspoon soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 1 Teaspoon *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 20 Pounds 1/4 Pound (113.5 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 3/4 cup Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 3/4 cup organic veggies 1 Teaspoon soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 2 Teaspoons *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 30 Pounds 1/3 Pound (150 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 1 cup Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 1 cup organic veggies 1 1/2 Teaspoons soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 1 Tablespoon *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 40 Pounds 1/2 Pound (227 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 1 1/2 cups Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 1 1/2 cups organic veggies 2 Teaspoons soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 1 1/4 Tablespoon *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 50 Pounds 2/3 Pound (302 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 1 1/2 cups Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 1 1/2 cups organic veggies 2 Teaspoons soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 1 1/2 Tablespoon *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 60 Pounds 3/4 Pound (340.5 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 1 3/4 cups Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 1 3/4 cups organic veggies 2 1/2 Teaspoons soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 1 1/2 Tablespoon *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 70 Pounds 1 Pound (454 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 2 cups Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 2 cups organic veggies 1 Tablespoon soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 1 3/4 Tablespoon *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. 80 Pounds 1 1/4 Pound (567.50 grams) Organic Extra-Firm Tofu 2 1/2 Organic Bean Mixture (2 parts chick peas (garbanzo beans), 1/2 part pinto beans, 1/2 black beans) 2 1/2 cups organic veggies 1 Tablespoon soaked nuts/seeds (Raw Sunflower no shell, Raw Brazil nuts, Raw Almonds) 2 Tablespoons *Oil Blend Add a dose of Dog Greens to each meal as recommended in daily program schedule immediately before serving. Preparation Instructions: Soak beans in filtered water until re-hydrated (approx. 8 hours), soak nuts/seeds as well in a separate bowl. Both can be soaked in the refrigerator. Strain beans, get a crock pot (slow cooker) and put the beans in and cover with about an inch or two of fresh water. Turn on low and let cook overnight. In the morning when beans are fully cooked (soft) let cool, chop up some fresh organic fruit and veggies (greens, baby greens, red pepper, tomato, carrot, zucchini, sprouts, etc.) add them to the crock pot with the cooked beans along with the soaked and drained nuts or seeds then add enough water so you can blend it all up with a hand blender (immersion blender) until it is pureed. Scoop out enough for your dog’s meal based on his weight above, crumble or chop tofu and mix in along with the a dose of Dog Greens and the Oil Blend. Store the remaining bean mixture in fridge for future meal(s). Feel free to cook larger batches of the beans and freeze unused portions for later use. Beans can also be cooked in a pressure cooker, this way is very fast but you must watch carefully. You may also cook the beans in a regular stainless steel or glass pot on the stove but this takes much longer and must be monitored. *any organic plant based oil blend that says 3-6-9 omegas preferably with DHA, UDO’s makes a very nice one.
