How It Works
Since I started formulating canine diets, I have placed a large emphasis on diets tailored to your individual dog and I still see a huge benefit of having a diet that is specific to your dog. However, with the rise in popularity of homemade diets comes many people putting out free or cheap recipes that are incredibly unbalanced and even sometimes dangerous.
In an effort to combat this, I made it a goal to formulate completely balanced recipes for healthy, adult dogs of all energy levels and these downloadable recipes have all the information to back that up. Every recipe is formulated using adjusted NRC nutritional profiles for adult dogs which ensures that dogs with low calorie needs are still having their nutritional requirements met.
Who Are These Recipes For?
- Adult dogs
- Your dog MUST be full grown to safely consume these diets. They are not formulated to support healthy growth!
- Small Breeds- OVER 8 months old
- Medium Breeds- OVER 12 months old
- Large Breeds- OVER 18 months old
- Dogs without any health conditions
- Health conditions include obesity and unknown allergens
- Dogs with known food intolerances may be able to eat some of these recipes as long as they don’t include an ingredient that isn’t tolerated. Ingredients cannot be substituted so if you know they can’t eat a certain ingredient, either reach out to me to inquire about purchasing an adjustment with it or choose another one!
- Dogs with controlled GI issues may be fine eating some of these recipes IF you know how to control the issues with diet i.e. you know what fat levels they do best on.
- Your dog MUST be full grown to safely consume these diets. They are not formulated to support healthy growth!
Recipe Features
NRC Balanced for Adult Dogs
All recipes provide complete and balanced nutrition and are formulated using NRC nutritional guidelines for adult dogs. Recipes for lower energy dogs use adjusted nutritional requirements to account for a higher nutrient density.
Detailed Ingredient Lists
Ingredient lists feature volume measurements (lbs, oz, grams) rather than cups or pieces for optimized accuracy. Each ingredient also specifies whether it is cooked or raw, boneless, skinless, etc.
Explicit Feeding Instructions
Each recipe includes a feeding chart that includes the amount (in ounces) to feed based on your dogs weight and energy level. The chart also lists how many calories the dog will be eating each day and how long the batch will last.
Full Expected Nutritional Analysis
Each recipe comes with a table with the expected nutritional analysis which includes Guaranteed Analysis, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids, Minerals and Vitamins. Macronutrients on a dry matter and caloric basis are also given.
Supplement Links
All supplements used to balance the recipe are linked for purchase through iHerb. While whole foods are used wherever possible, nutrient bioavailability is prioritized.
