This is a recipe I got from my mother-in-law. Her dog,
Ebony, was prescribed this diet by her veterinarian, in order to keep track of
the amount of protein she eats. I started making it for my dog, Colby Jack, and
he loved it. The added benefit of making your own dog food is that you know
exactly what’s in it – no fillers, just good, human grade food. Yes, it takes
some time to prepare, but this recipe makes a three-week supply and you can freeze
two-thirds of it in Ziploc bags or small containers (which also makes it easy
to feed while traveling).

minutes. Brown the ground beef.
In a very large container, such as bucket, mix together all
the ingredients.

an active dog.

carrots, potatoes, green beans, etc. to provide some variety.
