Raw Barf Type Dog Food Mix

[westiemum]

At last I've found a raw mix I'm happy with - sorry if its been posted before but thought I'd re-post in case anyone would like to try it. This recipe is written for my Thermomix (TMX) so I've halved the quantities but should work well in a food processor.

This looks great and my guys just wolfed it down. And its so quick and easy!! In the right quantities it also seems to work well for chunky dogs needing to lose a bit of pud! Hope it helps.

This is a TMX variation of Dr Billinghurst's raw barf patty recipe. It is based on a half kilo of raw crushed vegetables and a half kilo of raw minced meat. All ingredients should be human grade IMO. This amount makes about 12 half cup servings for a small dog.

Ingredients:

1/2 kg vegetables (carrots, celery, spinach, cauli, broccoli etc), roughly chopped

1/2kg lean meat or mince (beef, chicken, lamb, pork, kangaroo etc). ('Roo and pork are good for dogs with allergies).

1/8 lambs fry (or similar amount of other offal), roughly chopped

1/4 small tub plain, low fat yogurt

1-2 free range eggs (I use 2)

2 cloves garlic

1.5 dspns flax seed oil

1/2 tspn of vitamin B powder

Up to 2 tspns kelp powder (I use 2)

Any other healthy food scraps eg small amounts of cooked veggies, rice, pasta cottage cheese etc.

Method

If mincing your own meat, mince it first for 8-15 seconds on speed 7 and set aside.

Chop veggies, garlic and offal in TMX for 6-8 seconds on speed 4 or until it looks like fine coleslaw. Veggie mix should be well chopped, fine enough to make into patties, but not mush.

Add mince and all other ingredients and mix on reverse + soft speed for 8 - 10 seconds until well combined.

Shape into patties and freeze or freeze in serving size portions in plastic bags. Thaw as required.
