Method

Coarsely chop the liver, heart and veggies.
Pop the chopped veggies including the mushrooms into a frying pan with 5 tablespoons of cold, pure filtered water. Cover with a lid and cook on medium for 5 mins.
Now combine all of the other ingredients together including the water from cooking the vegetables into a large glass bowl.
Mix everything together using a wooden spoon. Let this stand for a few moments before serving so that the chia seeds have some time to swell.

I prefer the veggies to be cooked as in my experience lightly steamed vegetables are a more enjoyable experience, plus they are more gentle on the digestive system. If your dog prefers them raw and blitzed up (pulped) that is your choice.

Storage

Store in an airtight container, preferably non-recycled glass containers with bamboo or plastic-free lids. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or portion up and freeze for up to 3 months. I would prefer you to add any oils/fats at the time of serving, proportionally.

ALTERNATIVE SERVING SUGGESTION

This recipe is also suitable to use if you prefer to lightly cook your beloved dogs food, you will need to mix the bonemeal, whole food supplements and oils in after you have lightly cooked the ingredients.

HOW TO LIGHTLY COOK

Pop the boneless beef into a deep frying pan with 5 tablespoons of pure, fresh, cool, filtered water, heat from cold to a medium temperature. Cook for 6 mins, now add the heart and liver and veggies, cover with a lid for a further 3 mins (9 mins in total) Now add the rest of the ingredients and serve!

Stand back and watch your beloved dog get a full eating experience.

A WORD ABOUT CALCIUM

If you prefer to use bone (this is what feed) you would need to add 260g of chicken necks to this recipe to maintain the calcium requirement. This can be fed either blitzed up in the blender and added to the raw mixture. This can be fed as a snack throughout the day or bashed with a rolling pin and cut up with scissors. Chicken necks or duck necks can be added to the cooked version after cooking only. It is very dangerous to feed cooked bone. This is a single protein recipe if you add a chicken neck it will no longer be single protein. You can also use a calcium citrate natural supplement if you prefer.

IS IT BALANCED?

This recipe is fully balanced to FEDIAF and AAFCO meeting all minimum requirements including copper, D3, Calcium, Selenium, the correct percentages of protein and plant matter with the correct omega 6 to 3 ratio.

I am an experienced formulator and recipe creator, through my own spreadsheet and analysis data I go beyond the minimum standards to bring you my extensive experience and guidance on the best possible set of ingredients to feed.

All of these ingredients could be put into a blender and blitzed! I personally believe in an “Eating Experience” and adding flavour & texture to our pets meals.

Yes, they deserve a fresh food diet but also they deserve flavour, texture and an experience when they eat. Not just gulping or licking and lapping the food up as fast as possible.

Add fresh herbs and grate fresh turmeric over this dish! If it smells good to you then it will smell a 1000 times better to your dog! Drizzle over some honey or add warm bone broth on a cold winter day! Experiment and enjoy.

Although this recipe is balanced I do not recommend that you only feed this recipe for 2 weeks only! Variety is the SPICE of life.
