Critique my recipe for replacement canned dog food.
My dogs are very picky and both enjoy Inukshuk Marine 26/16 mixed with a bit of canned dog food as a topper. But finding canned dog food lower in fat and no chicken is hard and getting expensive. Purina Pro Sensitive stomach is about my only option and is $40/case of 12 13oz cans. So making it is the best alternative. Both dogs are 75lbs and would receive a daily total of 2 1/3c kibble with 1/2c of the following mix:
- 3lbs venison (this is wild, obtained by me and procced by me 99% fat free)
- 15oz pumpkin
- 1.5 c rice
- 1.5 c oats
- 1 tin (3.75oz) Sardines in water no salt
- 10 oz shredded carrots
I'd open to suggestions. I'm planning on freezing these in 1/4c cubes to feed morning and night. My one dog can not have chicken or corn. Right now this mix would only cost me $15 (venison is free to me) so its much cheaper than canned. Should organ meat be added?
