We at Castle of Presa feed our dogs human-grade, raw meat with fresh vegetables and berries for the best health results. There are many commercial dog food available today, so why raw meat?
Once you bring your dog or puppy home, you are responsible for him. This great animal trusts you. He is fully dependant on you. So, it's up to you how you will take care of him and how you will feed him.
Who said that corn is not healthy for dogs?
If corn is healthy for cats, it's ok for dogs right?
Well, not really. Corn is not healthy for humans, so its not healthy for your dog either.
Why is it not healthy? Mainly because of GMO and poison from pestesite sprays.
Feeding your dog with raw meat is worth of every penny. Why?
For safe feeding of chicken bones, the bones need to be processed in a grinder. We started with a small grinder, Maverick, for $60 dollars and later upgraded to a commercial grinder, Vollrath.
If you love your dog, you should make some research before you start feeding him commercial dog food.
Where to purchase a raw meat?
When you purchase raw meat from a company who is sells dog food, you will get the same garbage like the kibble that they are selling at the store and your dog will be more likely to get sick. We have 100% control on what we feed our dogs with because we purchase raw chicken from healthy stores like Sprouts, AJ's, Whole Food stores, or directly from the farmers. We prepare our own dog food from human-grade, raw chicken meat, with no hormones, antibiotics, and mainly...no garbage or toxins.
How to prepare home-made, raw dog food
When we bring the whole chicken home, we cut the fat out and leave it for the dog food manufacturers. In the other words, we put it in the garbage can. Then, we cut the meat off the bones to make sure the bones will fit in the grinder. Raw chicken bones are very beneficial for dogs but need to be processed in the grinder. Never feed your dog with cooked bones of any kind. In addition to raw meat, we add cooked rice, cooked potatoes, cooked pasta, and cooked beef livers and hearts. We make 1 lb packages of raw meat over the weekend and put it in freezer, so we have it ready during the week.
Here is the recipe that we feed our dogs with
Adult female Presa over 2 years old eats 2 lbs of food 2 x a day. Total of 4lbs per day.
Male Presa eats 2-1/2 to 3 lbs of food 2x a day. Total of 5 lbs per day.
Breakfast:
1-1/2 lbs of raw meat
10 oz of fully cooked rice
3 tbsp of carrot puree
100 mg of vitamin C
200 IU of vitamin E, or 1 tbsp of cooked livers
1/2 cup of milk
1 tbsp of oats soaked in milk
Dinner:
1-1/2 lbs of raw meat
10 oz of fully cooked rice
2 tbsp of berries
100 mg of vitamin C
6 drops of fish oil
8-10 drops of liquid vitamin B complex
1 tsp of dry kelp (dust form for better digestion)
Dogs need a lot of protein. In addition to raw chicken meat, we used to feed cooked beans and fish. NOT ANY MORE!!!
The advice that we got from the vet was not good. She didn't have the knowledge that we have now. Beans are not healthy for humans so they are not healthy or are even poisonous for dogs and fish has too much mercury. It is much safer to use purified fish oil where mercury is removed.
My vet told me NOT to feed my dog raw chicken meat because he will get salmonella.
There are two reasons why your vet tells you this:
a) He wants you to purchase a commercial dog food from his office because they get feedback from the manufacturers. It's all about the money.
b) Many vets are just like you. They trust these companies. They believe all the TV commercial bull and they feed their own dogs commercial garbage as well.
Before I discovered the truth about commercial dog food, I fed my dogs kibble as well. I tried many brands: Canidae, Innova, Pinnacle, Origin, EVO and many other premium expensive dog food. It worked for a month or two, but then it all ends up the same...huge, smelly, muddy diarrhea all over. When I started to feed raw meat, I didn't have a single case of diarrhea ever. I saved 100s of dollars for Metronidazole (pills to stop diarrhea) but mainly, I have healthier dogs. The poops don't have that bad smell, actaully it smells like mushrooms in the forest. Not bad. Humans and dogs live on enzymes and there are NO enzymes in commercial dog food. Ohhh..... they just realized that and recently started putting some chemical enzymes in there but it's nothing compared to the enzymes that you can find in raw meat and minerals in raw bones.
It is simple. You should feed your dogs the same food that you would eat, only in raw form (just don't feed spicy, salty and sweet food). Everything that is made for dogs is made out of garbage. Avoid any products and any vitamins made for dogs, use the same vitamins that you would eat.
Kirkland Premium Performance Multi from Costco would be the best for your dog. 300 tablets for about $13 dollars and you know that you give your dog the best. For smaller dogs you should cut the tablet in half, or give 1/3 of a tablet per day.
Now, what to do if you travel with your dog and you need to eat the fast food garbage? Sometimes we all need to do that. Well, you should stop in a grocery store and purchase a sliced ham, mayonnaise, and bread to make a sandwich or purchase grilled chicken (most grocery stores have it) and for your dog purchase raw chicken breasts.
However, if you don't have time and need to go to a drive-through to get your sandwich and you need food for your dog fast...then, there are only two companies that are selling human-grade dry dog food: Honest Kitchen and CaniSource . CaniSource dry dog food is so good that you can eat it as well. I am sure that there will be more companies who will be producing quality human-grade dry dog food in the future. However, if you are on the road and purchase a cheeseburger for yourself, you can purchase 4-5 cheeseburgers for your dog, it will still be better and healthier for your dog than any commercial dog food.
