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

Ingredients

15 pounds raw hamburger meat, I use 27% fat
1 lg. box of Total cereal (2lbs)
1 lg. box oatmeal (uncooked)
1 small jar/bag of wheat germ
1 1/4 cup veg oil
1 1/2 cup of unsulfured molasses
18 raw eggs AND shells
12 envelopes of Knox Joint Gelatin (or regular unflavored if preferred)
2 tsp of salt
2 tsp of garlic
3/4 cup flaxseed oil
2 cup grated carrots
2 cup canned Pumpkin

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/or 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 meat has been previously frozen before feeding.
