Healthy Green Satin Balls

Need a recipe to fatten up your dog, get momma dogs to eat and produce milk, or put a "glow" on show dogs? Satin Balls are a high carbohydrate, high fat snack. We do not recommend it for overweight pets, or pets suffering from a yeast infection.

Ingredients:

Small bowl:

2 cups warm water (approx.)
1 cup organic oatmeal
1 cup organic flax flakes cereal (can substitute with rice flakes, amaranth flakes, etc.)

Medium/Large Bowl:

Ingredients from grocery store, health food store or around the house:

1 lb. Ground turkey
2 lbs Ground beef
2~3 tsp. minced garlic (fresh or from jar)
2 eggs
2 pkg. Knox Unflavored Gelatin
1 tbsp. organic unsulfered blackstrap molasses
¼ cup raw wildflower honey
1 tbsp. carob powder
3 tbsp. crushed dried egg shells (made from own leftover eggshells)

Ingredients from Purely Pets website:

2 scoops Nupro (yeast free) vitamin/mineral supplement
1 tbsp. Super C 2000

Directions:

Combine ingredients in first bowl and let soak while preparing second bowl.

Combine ingredients in second bowl and knead until well blended. Drain excess water from 1st bowl and add to 2nd bowl, blend again.

Form meat mixture into meatballs (size appropriate for your dog) and place on cookie sheet to freeze. Once hardened, place in freezer bags until needed. Thaw completely to room temperature before serving. Lightly bake or sear the meat if you are against feeding totally raw.

Liver Bread

Ingredients:

¾ lb. of liver - puree liver to a paste
½ cups cornmeal
½ tsp. of salt
¾ cups flour
½ tsp. garlic powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.

If you have a blender rather than a food processor, remove all the veins (in the liver) as these will clog the blades.

Thoroughly blend all the dry ingredients, then add the liver. After mixing, you will have extremely sticky dough.

Spread the dough into a thoroughly greased cookie sheet, jelly roll pan, or pizza pan. Using a wet spatula or the back of a strong spoon, spread the dough as thin as possible, frequently dipping the spatula in water to keep it wet. Ideally, you should spread the dough so thin that it begins to tear.

Bake about 10 minutes. It should look like cookies when done.

Cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 2" squares with a pizza roller.

Keeps 3 weeks refrigerated or 6 months frozen.

Bon Appetite!
