Mike,
This is extremely interesting to me. I have printed out your recipe and am
going to try it. I don't have any GSD's with allergy problems but our little
rescue mixed breed does. Do you put the wheat germ in the mixture or do you
sprinkle it on individually? Can I substitute jack mackeral for fresh fish? Can
you use this with puppies? Can I add blueberries??When you say a touch of raw
hamburger, do you mean like a 6 oz meatball or more or less?

Kathy,
I love it and personally, now that I know about it, I wont go back.
I feed my dogs a little kibble, my "dog stew" and a touch of raw hamburger
meat each night.
I learned my dog stew from Judy Eckland and Diane Strasser. I think even
Lissa Cunningham perfected the method with the crockpot theory.
here is what i calll my dog stew.
Take a whole chicken throw it in a crockpot and cook it for about 2-3 days.
Bones and all, throw it in there and let it cook. When it starts to get
"mushy" keep "mashing it down" and add a cup of water to it. Skin, bones,
and all. (I have an assistant that likes to fish, so I have been adding one
whole freshwater fish and cooking it with the chicken).
On the stove, I take a package of Long grain Brwon rice (white is fine if
you dont have it) and a package of Barley (quick barley is fine if you dont
find the other) and a couple of cups of oatmeal and cook and mix. I also
take a couple of carrots, fresh pumpkin (now that its in season) and an iron
source like Broccoli and pouree it in my blender and pour it in the
Rice/Barley/Oatmeal Mixture. When the chicken is done and cooled, add into
the barley/rice mixture and stir for all you are worth. This is a great
supplement that combines your meat source, calcium (from the bones) fish oil
and products (from the fish), your rice and barley as your fillers the
carrots and pumpkin provide my vitaman C and A and your Iron source is from
the marrow and the broccoli. Also, when you are cooking for you pets, you
control it and you know whats in it. the skin provides the fat source et.
Now when I feed, I give like a cup of kibble, a cup of the stew and a touch
of raw hamburger meat and my viatman e source comes from wheat germ. Here
recently, i had a bitch with a snotty problem from allergies, I have mixed a
touch of local whole raw honey (found down the
street from a lady who keeps
bees) and I havent had any issues with morning snottiness from this bitch.
I feed less kibble, you can tell from the dogs coat and vitality they are
doing well, and the poops are hard and firm.
Essentially I like the control over the diet, I like the fact I dont feed as
much and I love the results. Sure its a pain in the arse to make and when I
do, I usually have a messy kitchen but, what I also do is make enough for a
few weeks and then freeze what Im not using.
Its great.
Mike
