Making Dr. Pitcairn's Fresh Meat Supplement for Dogs

Rosana Hart: Hi! This is Rosana Hart from Training-dogs.com and I am about to make up a batch of fresh meat supplement for dog kibble that I feed my dogs. I have done it often long for years; sometimes I even cooked entire recipes for them, but this one where you combine the supplement with the kibble is certainly fast and easy. This is from a wonderful book I highly recommend, "Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats" and there is a review of it on my website.

So, I have got my ingredients together here. It happened that this morning I only had a couple of pounds of hamburger on hand for the recipe because for three, so I have adjusted my quantities, but I will tell you the ones I would I actually use for three, which is the usual recipe. So, this is a quarter oil cup of vegetable oil. He suggests it cold pressed and organic. Then we have one tablespoon of something called healthy powder and I will tell you what that is. That is a recipe that is also in the book. Basically, it is made up of brewer's yeast, lecithin, kelp, bone meal and optional Vitamin C and I mix that up in advance, as you see it quite a bit on hand and that goes in any of these recipes.

Then next is some bone meal and you have to be careful when you buy bone meal. He explains what kinds to buy, so you don't get some nasty stuff. Next, we have, of course, a tablespoon because for a tablespoon of calcium and this is calcium that I have made by -- there is a teaspoon. I am not casual on my exact measurement. That is calcium I have made by grinding up egg shells. Next, comes some Vitamin E and I'll just cut into a capsule and squish and last is some Vitamin A which was a tablet that crushed very easily.

So you get these things and mix them up together first and then in a minute, I'll add the burger and I'll mix it all together. You see it's a very fast process. One more thing, which is nice, because still it has a lot of time. So here goes my meat and I like to just kind of getting down the dirty part here. Just get right into it. It is probably you could do it with a spoon, but I have more fun this way and it really mixes up best if you squish it through your fingers. I used to do pottery, working with clay. That's getting pretty evenly mixed in, I am not a total perfectionist here, nor am I in those parts of my life and then I freeze the stuff in smallish containers. I am going to be giving each dog about six tablespoons per couple of kibble.

Stay, okay.
