Feed Your Dog BARF 

Kimberly Todd-St. Claire shares her recipe for a healthy homemade dog food in The Guide to Health and Healing, 2008-2009 issue (www.theguidetohealthandhealing.com). She indicates in the article that she has seen changes in the reduction of allergies, improved skin tone, a shinier coat, more appealing breath, reduction in weight and overall enhanced behavior. She goes on to share that every dog is different, and to allow your dogs a 3 week window for adjustment if you decide to switch to her homemade recipe. The article outlines that the caloric intake for a 10 pound dog is 410 calories and an 80 pound dog is upwards of 1800 calories. If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to consult your veterinarian. Here’s her recipe: 

BARF (Bones and Raw Food) 

2 lbs. raw ground turkey

8 C raw rolled oats

¼ C broccolis

2 cloves minced garlic

¼ C oil (vegetable, flax, olive or sunflower)

6,000 milligrams calcium powder

400 units Vitamin E 

Serve 5 cups-one time a day for a 60 pound dog (adjust as appropriate for your dog’s weight). You can separate portions into freezer zip lock bags and then just pull out the next day’s bag to defrost.
