A WEEKLY FEEDING PLAN

Many have asked me for some time now, yet I vaguely told anyone how I feed my dogs weekly because I switch it up so much week to week. My proteins sources and mixes switch every week, so to give you the most honest answer I can, I truly go by how I'm feeling and what I'm observing with my dogs. I have this feeling of true honor when it comes to caring for my animals, I feel that they are reflections of me and my life style while still being their own individual.

The first part of this is a list of my dogs, how much they weigh, what % of raw they are fed, and the actual amounts they're fed a day.

PRINCESS MEESHA (mix breed)

BODY WEIGHT: 43

RAW FED % SCALE: 3%

RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 1 pound 2 ounces (per day)

AYE BAY BAY

BODY WEIGHT: 68

RAW FED % SCALE: 2.5%

RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 1 pound 7 ounces (per day)

MEI XIANG

BODY WEIGHT: 70

RAW FED % SCALE: 3%

RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 2 pounds 1 ounce (per day)

KING RAGNAR

BODY WEIGHT: 50 (actual weight)

RAW FED % SCALE: 4% (puppy)

RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 2 pounds (per feeding)

I do not trim off any of the fat in or on the items I feed my dogs, this is the only source of fat they receive. I also must remind you, when looking at bags of kibble, you're told to look for the amount of protein and FAT, so the fat that Raw Fed Dogs need is provided already on the food, so do not trim off the fat if only raw fed.

So here it is, a general week plan that I have used before. My raw mixes are what I call Frankenstein Mixes which are combinations of different protein sources made with a formula that I use to feed my dogs, making sure they get the essentials inside of the Frankenstein Mixes. Remember variety is key to feeding Raw.

MONDAY:

3/4 Raw Mix, 1/4 Beef Neck Bones with a 1/2 cup of Barley and a 1/4 cup of Black Beans.

TUESDAY:

Chicken or Duck Quarter Legs, with Chicken or Duck Necks

WEDNESDAY:

1/2 Ribs, 1/4 Heart, and 1/4 Tongue with a cup to 2 of cooked Pasta

THURSDAY:

Raw Mix

FRIDAY:

Chicken or Duck Quarter Leg, Raw Mix, Chicken Duck or Turkey Necks

SATURDAY:

1/2 Raw Mix, 1/2 Chicken Duck or Turkey Necks with a cup of cooked Rice

SUNDAY:

Fasting day for dogs 1 year old and older.

Each week things are rotated, and the Fasting Day sets it all in motion; yet this accompanied with the meal the day before fasting, containing extra Meaty Bone on top of the dogs normal meal. With fasting days I go Sunday, Saturday, Friday, and so on and just continue with that rotation; which then rotates the days of feeding, Monday Tuesday Wednesday and so on. (Sunday fasting becomes Saturday fasting; Saturday food becomes Sunday food)

Hopefully this is able to help you figure out an feeding regimen. Remember my feed regimen is accompanied by my condition plan called The Program:

Feeding For The Goal.........

I'm a big believer in feeding a diet that is 95%-99% Raw, 1%-5% Cooked, accompanied with the opinion of, "how you feed a dog contributes a great deal to its overall development." I truly do believe, "simply feeding a dog a specific way can and will be reflected in a dogs true ability and outlook on life."

Genetics do play a big roll in how a dog turns out, but its out powered by how you care for and what you feed a dog, that brings out the true enhancements and abilities of a dog. There is no one food or supplement for all dogs, every dog is its own individual and have their own nutritional and exercise requirements, in order to achieve the ultimate goal.

In my opinion, a raw diet should consist of 30%-50% Raw Meaty Bone, 30%-50% Muscle Meat, 10%-20% Secreting Organs, 5%-10% Vegetable, Fruit, Herb, and Eggs, and 1%-5% Grains if your dog can tolerate grains(I use pasta noodles and rice), mixing it up and rotating percentages to make sure the goal is achieved.

Many will say, "this is a very wide percentage range for feeding raw," my simple answer is there is not one specific formula that fits every dog, and many times even the best formulas, need to be tweaked to fit the individual dog.

I feel that there's no way you can achieve a 100% completely balanced diet in just one feeding. I feel this is something that is achieved over time, by providing the animal with the proper ingredients to achieve the goal. Variety is key to feeding raw, as well as making sure your dogs nutritional requirements are being met, throughout the course of a month. Every month I make sure my dogs have the important things Muscle Meat, Meaty Bone, Organs, Vegetables, Fruits, Herbs, Eggs, and COLD WATER FISH.

Yes, I do call my blend of raw complete because I have found a formula that can be tweaked multiple ways while keeping the same consistent results that has raised puppies, maintained adults, improved seniors, as well as worked for dogs that have no relation to me at all other than eating my blend of feed, yet my dogs meals are still tweaked to meet their individual needs.

Examples:

Meesha needs more Vegetable and Fruit year around, more Muscle Meat in the summer, and less Meaty Bones in winter.

Aye Bay Bay needs more Vegetable and Fish year round for skin and coat health, more Meaty Bones in the summer, and more fiber in the winter.

Mei Xiang needs more Muscle Meat year round, double the high water content fruits in the summer, and more Fish in the winter for her skin and coat maintenance

King Ragnar needs more Meaty Bones as he is a growing puppy that requires the calcium and glucosamine for bone and joint development, with a good amount of Fish for for brain and nervous system development,

The goal is to have dogs that thrive, dogs that are able to naturally ward off ailments, transition through the season gracefully, recover from mental and physical stresses quickly, as well as show as an vigorous senior dog, having longevity as the ending result. So in order to achieve the ultimate goal which is true balance with raw feeding, I feel that variety is the key, even if you don't eat it, its for your dogs health no matter what.
