For anyone asking for a recipe on my previous post. Here's what I made my girls tonight. I also want to add that I found a bone broth in my meat section of my local grocery store. I'm SUPER EXCITED about it! 😁
8 lbs turkey breast (raw weight) then boiled 🦃
3 lbs ground beef (raw weight) then cooked 🐄
1 lb venison organ meat (raw weight) then cooked🦌
1.5 lbs sweet potatoes then boiled 🍠
1 lb beets
10 oz green beans boiled
6 oz carrots boiled 🥕
2 C bone broth 🦴
Ends up being about 11.5 lbs once cooked which is about 28 cups of food. Serve according to your dogs weight and metabolism.
Someone's was growing very impatient 😆 (Miss Nova) and someone was a very good girl 😊 (Missy Mia)
