KAYKOHL LAND'S HOMEMADE DIET FOR GERMAN SHEPHERDS:
(Modified from the original Satin Ball Recipe)

Ingredients

Mix all ingredients together, much like you would a meatloaf.

Divide into freezer bags, about 1 lb each and freeze.  Thaw and feed raw.

I add a heaping spoonful of cottage cheese and vanilla yogurt (with live cultures) when I feed it.

Once in a while I will substitute a couple pounds of raw ground turkey for hamburger, or a pound or two of raw chopped liver for hamburger.

To add variety a RAW chicken leg, thigh, or wing is good to give now and then.  Bone and all.  I do this once or twice a week.

Large RAW beef bones should be given at least twice a week every week.  These can be purchased at the grocery store or from your local butcher.  They are okay to give frozen, and less messy.  I let the dogs eat these in their crates or on the porch.

Every dog has a different metabolism and activity level.  Finding the right amount to feed is the key.  Start off with about 1 lb per day and go from there.

Make sure all BEEF and CHICKEN has been previously frozen before feeding.
Other things you can add to food for variety:

*Canned Tuna, Mackerel, or Sardines

* Beef or Chicken Liver, Kidneys

*Other Fruit/Veggies (I would use these sparingly):  turnip, parsnip, green beans, yellow  squash, sweet potatoes, zucchini, dark green lettuces, celery, Apple, Pear, Grapefruit, Orange, Bananna, Cranberries.

*Peanut Butter (will put on weight)

*Turkey Breast and or Legs

*WHOLE Fish, Heads, bones, tail and all:  Blackfish, whiting, red fish, mullet, sardines, mackeral, etc.  In the Pacific Northwest do not feed fresh trout or salmon because they may have a rickettsia organism  in them, but are safe in other areas of the country.
