Homemade Canine Anti Cancer Food

(per F. Gavlak)

 

The following recipe is a balanced, homemade formula for dogs with cancer.  It approximates Canine n/d ®, a canned dietetic dog food.

 

The following recipe will make ~10 days worth of food for two 20-pound dogs.

I also give them Transfer Factor Plus each morning, see: http://www.naturalpetsystems.com/TFCanine.htm

 

Directions:

 

Cook the ground chicken with the chicken broth.  Chop in food processor and cook the liver with the ground chicken.  Cut, dice and run sweet potato, carrots, lima beans, almonds, and blueberries through food processor and add to pot of chicken, liver and broth.   Add the instant brown rice last.

 

Pulverize the calcium carbonate and vitamin/mineral tablets. Mix the olive oil, and supplements with the rest of the food after it is done cooking and you’ve turned down or off the heat.

 

Mix well, portion into containers, cover and let cool and refrigerate or freeze extra amounts.

 

Microwave approx. 25 sec. to room temperature and feed approximately one-cup of this mixture twice/day to each 20-pound dog.  I also usually add ~1/2 teaspoon of plain yogurt for their “good bacteria” requirements.

 

Diet is supplemented occasionally with lean, chicken morsel packaged “treats” or veggie dog biscuits.

 

Also with various garden veggies (except tomatoes or onions, of course) from my daily garden salad.
