Hi all, just wondering pros & cons on this dog food recipe especially formulated to put weight on dogs? My new foster dog "Bentley" (see Cathoula Rescue Ontario - 'houla x Dane) is underweight and frankly, a bag of bones right now. He's also having chronic trouble with loose stools for the three weeks I've had him so far. I have been feeding Fromm Salmon for kibble, supplmenting with goat milk yogurt, cottage cheese and pumpkin. I would like to try him out on my raw chicken diet, with fresh fruit or veggies (that I feed my own 'houla). Any advice? Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others! [b]"Satin Ball" recipe for dogs who won't eat This recipe is for dogs who desperately need calories and need to put on weight, but who have no appetite. It sounds yucky, but when these are done they are really appealing, even to me. In my experience, this is a kind of "last resort and hope" food that many sick dogs will eat. Mix all ingredients (like meatballs). I shape them like thick hamburgers rather than balls because they store easier in the freezer and thaw faster. Freeze in serving portion size. Nothing is cooked -- all ingredients are uncooked RAW and "Satin Balls" are served raw. This recipe for Little Dogs (1/10 of full recipe) would be a good test to see if your dog will eat them before you make the substantial investment in ingredients of the half or full size recipe. See Notes below about the Total cereal, oats, wheat germ and vegetable oil.
