Here is a low protein homemade dog food recipe for senior/ckd dogs:
It is very important to use the fattiest, cheapest ground beef, as you want more fat than protein.
Measure all ingredients very accurately and be sure not to use any substitutions.
Also be sure to give your dog a good multivitamin ( I use Missing Link)
Nutritional info; Protein 6.9%
Carbohydrates 21.1
Fat 5.5
Calories 750
1/4 lb ground beef (do NOT use lean)
2 cups cooked white rice
1 hard cooked egg peeled and chopped
3 slices white bread (crumbled)
1 teasp Calcium Carbonate (blend/grind a bottle of calcium carbonate into powder and store in a plastic bag...cal carbonate can be found in health food stores or you can use things like Tums, OsCal, etc)
Instruction;
1. Cook ground beef thoughly
2. Mix in other cooked ingredients
3.Feed 2X daily
4. Don't forget to give your dog a vitamin suppliment!
All these ingredients can be cooked in large amounts and then used as needed,
but be sure to measure very accurately! Refrigerated it stays good for 3-4 days. or you can freeze and defrost as needed
Amount to Feed;
weight of dog..............Amt to Feed
5lbs,......................... 1/4 lb per day
10lbs.........................1/2lb per day
20lbs.........................1lb. per day
40lbs..........................1 1/2 lbs per day
60lbs..........................2lbs per day
80lbs..........................2 1/2 lbs per day
100lbs.........................3lbs per day
p.s. if you are wondering about the white bread, it is used because there is little protein in it!!
