Are you hesitant to feed your dog raw food due to complexity or cost? Making raw dog food at home using the 80/10/10 formula is a budget-friendly and quality-conscious solution. In this article, we provide quick and easy recipes incorporating essential supplements, veggies, seeds, and toppers for a nutritious and delicious meal. Beyond the debate on cooking raw dog food, discover the best 80/10/10 recipes and valuable raw feeding tips in this concise guide.

WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING 80/10/10 RECIPES?

• Keep the proportion in mind: 80:10:10 means Meat, Organs,  And bones. The major problem in this ratio is inaccurate portioning and how much quantity for an old dog, so look at the chart.

• Give your dog a variety of meats, like turkey, duck, fish, lamb, chicken, and beef.
• You must be aware of the quality of meat you are purchasing and its source.
• Avoid including toxic foods in the recipes, like onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, and certain nuts.
• Choose meat that must be 80% lean and 10% fat-based.
• Add supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins to the recipes.
• If transitioning from a commercial dog food to a raw diet, do so gradually over 7-10 days to allow your dog’s digestive system to adjust.
• Give a proportion of food per your dog’s health, age, and activity level for better development.
• Refrigerate the meat at least 24 before feeding it to your dog.
• Look at the dog’s ability to intake raw bones; if he is too young, we suggest you grind them before serving them to your pup.
• Suppose you notice symptoms like hair loss, swelling around the paws, diarrhoea, ear infection, irritated skin, or itching and scratching. In that case, it means your dog is sensitive to some meat. So, try to feed them on fish, venison, duck, or rabbit meat because they contain novel proteins that soothe allergic dogs.

80/10/10 RAW DOG FOOD RECIPES

Raw dog food means food that does not undergo processing and heat; meat is the central element of the diet. I included recipes combining various fruits and supplements with the concept of 80:10:10.

Chicken is the best source of high-quality proteins that develop multiple dog tissues. It also contains amino acids, vitamins B6 and B12, Phosphorus, and omega-3 fatty acids.

7- Fishy treat

We added sardines to this recipe, a great way to give your dog healthy Omega3 fatty acids and iodine through an 80:10:10 diet. Giving fish two times a week can make growth better. The kelp adds more vitamins to the recipe; you can also use dried kelp.

8- Kangaroo Carnival

Kangaroo meat contains higher levels of protein than beef and chicken, usually 20-25g per 100mg. It carries vitamins B12 and B6 and stands as an energy booster. It is much leaner meat and has only 2% fat. Remember that this meat is not readily available, so whenever you choose to add it to your pup’s diet, research its resources.

1. Kangaroo meat 500 g
2. Kangaroo liver 100 g
3. Kangaroo heart 100 g

Rabbit meat is the best supplement for protein and is very lean and light for a dog’s digestive system. Rabbit ribs can make bone broth, rich in collagen and other minerals, promoting joint health and gut function. It tastes delicious, and the smells put magic in the dogs’ minds and captivate them to finish packing a lunch or dinner. Rabbit bones are a choking hazard because they shatter readily. While your dog eats ribs, grind or watch over them.

11- Quacktastic raw dog recipe

As everyone knows, meat is a good source of protein. Similarly, you can feed an appreciable amount of protein by providing your little friend the meat of a duck. This meat also helps manage weight with the essential zinc, iron, vitamins, and nutrients. The duck heart and feet contain taurine, which is good for heart health, and calcium that works well for bone health but limits the level of a duck heart because it is high in vitamin A, and a lot of vitamin A results in poisoning in dogs (VCA animal hospital).

• 80% Ground duck

• 5% Duck hearts, chopped
• 5% pork liver

Method:

Chop the duck heart, feet, and pork liver, mix with ground duck, and sprinkle some parsley or basil.

12- Porky Palate

The combination of fat, muscle, and cartilage in pork offers a satisfying taste and texture. That is why I often recommend that my customers include raw pork in dog meals. Moreover, the chicken gizzard contains grit that is effective for food digestion and glucosamine and chondroitin that support the joint health of a puppy.

• 80% Pork Shoulder
• 10% Pork Neck Bones (ground)
• 5% Pork Liver
• 5% Chicken Gizzards

Method:

Make a paste of all the ingredients like pork shoulder, liver, and chicken gizzard, and convert it to a large bowl, you may add plain yogurt for added calcium and flavor. To make this recipe more fun, you can freeze the mixture into bone shapes or ice cube trays for a refreshing treat or Use fun bowls or shapes to serve the food.

Feeding quantity

The right amount will vary based on your dog’s age, size, and activity level. Starting with 2-3% of your dog’s body weight in raw food per day, split into two or three meals, is a good general recommendation. This would equate to about 12–18 ounces of raw food each day for a 20-pound dog.

13- Savoury treat mix recipe

This recipe, which I got from my friend, is a mix of 80:10:10 raw food, and I would love to share it with you all. Pork meat, especially the shoulder or loin part, becomes thumbs up for the muscle repair and growth of the dog, but you can substitute this meat type with goat, lamb, or chicken. Beef testicles contain B12 and folate for the dog’s reproductive health, and the calf’s liver is full of vitamins A & B. The added treat of Collard greens provides vitamins C and K and strengthens your dog’s bones. The ingredient list is below:

14- Quail treasure bowl

To avoid creating a mess in the kitchen, buy pre-made raw food with multiple varieties.
