    This was set up for a 11 month old Boston Terrier at 16 pounds )
    YOU will need to ADJUST the feeding amount for your Dog’s Weight

    VERY Easy
    WE have had Good luck with this Recipe:
    This recipe uses egg as a binder; bake it like a meat loaf, with bread crumbs. As presented here, with these ingredients, it is about 30 percent protein, 25 percent fat, and 38 percent carbohydrates.
    If you need Wheat FREE bread crumbs – here is a link: to Gillian’s Foods
    http://www.gilliansfoodsglutenfree.com/products/index.php?cPath=29&osCsid=15aad74dac45e25945dd8f62963644c1

    FEED Daily: for the Boston Terrier:

    2 ( 1 inch size slices of the meat loaf ) 2 x per day ( for you size dog ) ( 15-18 pound dog )

    ( at night you may want to do 1 1/2 slices ) – JUST see if he is hungry

    SNACK-
    ( FEED 1/4 cup of a quality Dry ( LOW grain or NO grain Kibble per day ) – as a snack

    WE like the Fromm’s Brand of Dog food – also Blue Buffalo is good:

    Recipe:

    CHOOSE 1 meat:

    2 lbs fairly lean *****( YOU will do Ground Chicken or Ground Turkey ) ( skip the beef )/ for this month-

    3 cups of bread crumbs – plain – See Wheat free link above if you need it –

    1/8 of a cup 2 % low-fat milk

    3 large eggs

    2 teaspoons of CRUSHED eggShell — – Smash it ( it’s for Calcium)

    1/2 cup cooked vegetables ( green beans/peas/ others) ( grated and mush) *** ( TRY GREEN BEANS but cut them up orSmash them )

    ( do not put the NuVET into the Recipe ) –

    (YOU can not balance this Recipe without a Quality Supplement)

    *** 1 NuVET wafer vitamin ** each day – see below: ( PER DAY PER DOG ) ( NuVET is a must to balance out home cooking )

    1 teaspoon vegetable oil

    1/8 teaspoon LOW SALT tamari soy sauce

    order your NuVET here- I do get a small % and give BACK to Pet Rescue

    go here: http://www.nuvet.com/81098 ( you are looking for the NuVET Plus Wafer ) – if you go on auto ship you save 15% on every bottle
    use my Name if they ask you – Pet Nurse Marie

    BAKE
    * press the mixture into a casserole dish so itā€™s 1 to 2 inches thick and bake at 350Ā°F for 30 to 35minutes, or until set and lightly browned.

    Salmon dinner for dogs, Woof food!
    Salmon Dinner for dogs
    Glad you have her on a good supplement; TRY this recipe:

    3-4 bs. Wild caught salmon ( frozen is fine if you can’t get fresh) – COOK the Salmon,
    5 cups brown rice cooked to mushy texture
    1/2 chopped garlic clove – fresh
    2 cups fresh cabbage – steamed / or Fry
    1 1/2 cups of zucchini ~~ steamed / or Fry
    3-4 tablespoons Olive Oil

    1 Daily multi-vitamin
    ( NUVET PLUS, (1) per dog, daily … NOT sold in stores
    MUST be added in order to balance the meal. To order NuVET Plus see here http://www.nuvet.com/81098 ( green bottle)
    ( order Discount code 81098 or call 1-800-474-7044 Tell them Pet Nurse Marie sent you

    ( never home cook without out some way to balance your recipes.. vitamins and often bone meal are needed;

    1. Fry salmon, vegetables and chopped garlic clove in olive oil until salmon is tender.
    Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    – GARLIC is totally safe in small amounts and cooked.. buy fresh garlic. it’s actually a natural antibiotic

    FEEDING a 50 to 60-pound dog this amount: ( PLEASE adjust to your dog’s Weight )

    FEED him / her 2 1/2 cups in the am and only 1 1 /2 to 2 cups in the PM of the salmon meal —
    PLEASE NOTE : this is a higher protein diet so do not give this to pets with PANCREAS issues

    Place your dog on a high-quality salmon oil ( I like the ones from Alaska) – Grizzly is a good one. Also, start on a Daily supplement to balance out the nutrients and help the immune system; See here; Normally 1 to 1 1/2 per day — Got to http://www.nuvet.com/81098 and tell them Marie sent you for the Green Bottle – made in the USA / Human grade quality, not pet level grade. ( code 81098 if you want the auto ship deal ) Call 1-800-474-7044 and they can suggest the exact dosage for your dog’s situation

    I don’t use the Natural products as of yet for Heartworm prevention. WE find Heartgard to be the safer of the evils;
    For Heartworm treatment, Talk to your Vet about other options.
    Trifexis is NOT the only heartworm treatment they offer.

    Ask about simple Heartgard Plus
    ( It’s still a POISON but safer than many of the New ones that popped onto the Market )
    Buy this from your VET.

    She will need to see the Vet. Since you are on a budget, let your Vet know you can spend __________ as this is your limit. Bring in a stool sample and have them do a basic CBC blood test. Explain you are on a limited budget at this time.

    It’s pretty good but you forgot Bone meal and supplements. A good bone meal to be added daily – add each day – cook the food and then add the supplements in. ( Try to Never cook the supplements into the food)

    Bone meal – WE like the now brand, See here – All dogs need Bone meals to Balance out home cooking http://amzn.to/2ob92hb

    Also, We use this supplement daily – place in the food right before feeding.. YOU need this one 1 x per day, Green bottle in Wafer or powder, http://www.nuvet.com/81098

    The Bone meal is given only 1 x per day.
    The multi vit supplement is given 1 x per day.

    Happy cooking

    How about trying home cooking? Here is a great meatloaf recipe .. YOU can choose a Dry dog kibble and use the meatloaf as a TOPPER.. Basically you place a cup or two of dry quality dog food in the dish and 1/2 a piece of meat loaf on top .. drizzle with a little warm water. THE meat loaf for dogs will stay good for 5 days or Freeze it into individual freezer baggies..

    HI there.. I do home cooking and all my dogs get the NuVET supplement powder or wafer to balance out home cooking.. it’s a liver flavor and amazing..
    WE have been on the NuVET Plus for 9 years
    http://www.nuvet.com/81098

    it’s great for pets on commercial dog food too.. NO dog food will maintain all it’s nutrients because of the HEATING and cooking process. So that is why good quality supplement like NuVET Plus are needed..

    The NuVet Plus helps to rebuild the immune system and fight allergens. Normally with a good quality food and the NuVET Plus you can fight off many allergens. Take a look at your environment too. Sometimes environmental issues will come up and it is a new allergen hitting your pets. See here as NuVET and Zyrtec are highly recommended by many vets for environmental issues – Many VETs offer this Dosage of Zyrtec along with the Natural NuVET supplement http://bulldogvitamins.blogspot.com/2015/07/does-your-dog-have-watery-eyes-itchy.html

    HI Karen , it my be the food change and her body is getting accustomed to the new protein .. You can try brushing her teeth with your finger and a little dog tooth paste.. I like this brand — pretty easy to do http://www.keepdoggiesafe.com/pro-dental-finger-brush.html

    Also, many of my little dog clients take this daily powder supplement mixed into their food.. Most of my toy dog clients only get 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per day mixed into their food.. It’s liver flavor and helps to keep the body healthy and the teeth in good shape. Holistic and not sold in stores , SEE here http://www.nuvet.com/81098 ( Most of my pals call in to get the 15% off deal with coupon code 81098 ) YOU want the green bottle of powder called NuVET Plus. Tell them that Pet Nurse Marie sent you 1-800-474-7044

    Also, you can allow your dog to use some of the homemade treats mentioned on the post above by Alexis ..

    HOPE this helps..
