Complete and balanced beef, pork and seafood puploaf (balanced to AAFCO)

I’m a huge fan of Dr. Judy Morgan. She has a puploaf recipe which I modified to shrink the batch down. Simply since I don’t have a pan large enough for her batch.

I also subbed our sardines since one of my dogs is a yeasty beasty dog and she’s sensitive to tinned or canned food (high histamine level).

I also added a few things:

  • Oysters for zinc
  • Hempseeds for ALA
  • A little kelp
  • Sunflower seeds (make sure you pre-soak them)
  • Shrimp
  • Pork kidney

Now while most of the ingredients (almost all) are from whole foods to meet nutrient needs, there is a shortlist below that I added. I balanced the recipe to exceed AAFCO’s nutritional recommended daily allowances.

A Word About Shellfish

Not all dogs can tolerate mussels or oysters.

I would not include shellfish right away if your dog has never eaten it.

Introduce one mussel one day, and then one oyster another day. Look for any negative changes to their body that might indicate a food sensitivity such as:

  • Redness around their muzzle or belly
  • Itching
  • Rash
  • Diarrhea

For the most part, dogs who are sensitive to shellfish will reach within the day you feed it but some dogs might not see symptoms over a period of time.

If your dog cannot tolerate shellfish you can turn to supplements to provide Zinc and Manganese.

Alternatively, you can book a call + recipe with me and I can personalize this recipe to your dog with the dosages for the supplements to supply zinc and manganese.

    ive always wondered if you could feed her puploaf as a raw diet (instead of cooking it). is that possible with her/your modified recipe?
