10 Pounds hamburger meat 1 jar wheat germ 1 large box of oatmeal (uncooked) 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil 10 eggs ANOTHER SATIN BALL RECIPE Satin balls below 10# hamburger meat (You may also add a pinch of garlic powder to add flavor) Mix all
ingredients together well, much like a meatloaf....put into separate
freezer bags and freeze, thawing out as needed. It puts weight on in a
very short time, not to mention the gloss in their coat. You can use it
every day when they have a show to do and it does not produce diarrhea.
It can be fed alone or with kibble. You can cut this recipe down or expect to use a very large container. Also know that it will make a LOT of balls. Another recipe you could try never used for weight loss similar to
satin balls

HAIR ON A DOORKNOB |
|
Add hair to your dog. GUARANTEED :o)) also a GREAT Coat Conditioner |
|
This is NOT my recipe, but is actually a combination of many recipes that I received. |
| 1 pound Peanut Butter
1 Pound Honey 1 pound Mirra Coat Special Care OR Diaglo (powder), or even Bio Coat 1 pint Lavitamin, Lixatonic or Pet Tinic, others suggest Linatone. I am still looking for a source or a substitute product for: Diaglo, or Bio Coat ORDERING LINKS: Mirra is available at UPCO Lixatonic - available at Omaha Vaccine as a horse supplement Lixatonic OR Pet Tinic - available at Countryside Vet, the Lixatonic is available in a gallon size as a horse supplement. The Pet Tinic is recommended as a substitute for dogs. Guess it depends on how many dog (s) you want to supplement. Vet-Vax carries Mirra Coat, Linatone & Lixotinic, and a large supply of other supplements. I was impressed. I want to thank Ellen / Kuhn's Australian Shepherds, she found this outlet for all three ingredients, and she helped in sleuthing out the other outlets. High-Five to Ellen. Linatone was also suggested as a substitute for Lixatonic or Lavitamin, and it can be found at most feed stores or larger retail stores such as PetCo or Pets Mart. Thanks to all those that helped find the sources for these products. Dog people are wonderful, you ask for help, and they find it for you. THANKS GUYS!! |

| Small dogs should get 1-3 teaspoons daily
Large dogs should get 1-3 tablespoons daily |

Green Bean Diet |
|
Take weight off your dog. |
|
This is a recipe I heard about, nothing in writing, so I adjusted it to fit my dogs. It really works. |
| Start
with putting your dog on a senior or low calorie diet. Also it is
best for your dog to eat TWICE a day, it burns calories better. Remember
that when changing any dog's diet, the change should be gradual.
If you are changing dog food, then get that change done BEFORE you start
with the veggies.
Consider the amount of kibble you are currently feeding your dog, now cut that in HALF. Take the missing half and double the amount in veggies. I use green beans. Usually the gallon can I purchase at Costco. If you are concerned about the salt, you may rinse the beans. So now you have cut the kibble ration and added veggies. An example is: The dog was originally on ONE cup of kibble each feeding. The kibble is now ONE HALF a cup of kibble and that half cup of missing kibble is now ONE cup of veggies. I keep the veggies in a large container in the refrigerator, then I keep a plastic measuring cup in the container. At one time I had FIVE dogs on the weight reduction diet. Some dogs do not like green beans, so try other lower calorie veggies. One is pumpkin (the mashed fresh), not the pumpkin for the pies, or any that is in syrup. Try carrots, mine like the little ones, they even like them for snacks. Try to stay away from corn (too high in calories), and the gas causing veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage (like my dogs would EVER eat cabbage), although mine do love the rest of the veggies. Some even like zucchini, and even my kids didn't eat zucchini. I always knew dogs were easier than kids. Your dog WILL NOT starve. She will get used to the green beans, even though your dog might convince you he / she is dying without all that food. |
| I took a 75 lb Aussie RMF down to 51 lbs. She has bad hips and I believe this saved her life (BTW she has maintained her lesser weight for over four years now and no longer needs the green beans, but she still likes veggies as snacks). . I also have a little black bi that had always been 'rotund'. I put her on senior diet when she was 2, but she still could keep her weight up around 50 lbs and she is a 18" bitch and is much shorter than the others in my lines. She is my Quarter Horst type dog. She had maintained her weight at 42 for over four years. She would still like to convince me she IS starving, but I know better. She looks so much better and for a nine year old she is still quite active, even more after the weight loss.. |
