RAW CHICKEN |
necks,
wings etc. – it is safe and very inexpensive. Raw chicken
bones are harmless; it is when you cook them that they become
sharp and dangerous. Salmonella and campylobacter jejuni are of
no consequence to a healthy dog. You can feed the whole chicken
including ribs if you prefer – any part is goodwhich sells
for a good price, always raw.
|
|
RAW MEAT |
| call
a local butcher that does ranch slaughtering and you can get a
better price. Buy frozen meat, or fresh - cheap grade hamburger
is fine. The best raw meat to feed is lamb/sheep meat –
which we use. Dogs do not need to get any meat ground up –
cut in pieces is better or attached to the bone is best. Ground
up internal organs with muscle meat is far better than just muscle
meat.
|
|
RAW LIVER |
| give
2-3 pieces 3 times a week, or any other organ meat; heart, kidney
or tripe. Dogs must have organ meat weekly – lack of taurine
– an amino acid abundant in hearts will cause dogs to seizure.
|
|
RAW EGG YOLK |
Raw
egg yolk – one or more daily. Boiled or scrambled eggs are
fine too. Offer raw egg yolk to the dogs you are not feeding raw
liver or other raw organ meats. Be sure you use egg yolks from
chickens fed free range - it will say so on the box. I highly
recommend one egg daily to all dogs. Give 7 soft boiled eggs (boil
4 minutes) and nothing else is necessary on days you are very
busy.
|
|
SARDINES IN SOY OIL |
| Give
one can once or twice weekly, instead of raw meat/liver. Dogs
love it - it’s very, very good for your dog and a nice change
now and then.
|
|
RAW VEGETABLES |
raw grated
carrots daily, or broccoli stems, or any vegetables you like or
are in season like cauliflower, brussel sprouts, corn (never on
the cob), avocados, pumpkin, squash, peas, beans, etc. Crush raw
vegetables in your Cuisinart or blender – best is pulp from
your juicer – you drink the juice – mix pulp in dog’s
food. Fruits are excellent, apples, pears etc, it’s ok to
steam vegetables also. Then crunch and feed to dog.

|
FAST YOUR DOG ONE DAY WEEKLY |
It is very
healthy to fast your dog one day a week, after he is one year old.
|
| Any
of the above foods are excellent for your dog – vary his
diet so not the same every day. Fasting your dog one day a week
is good for him. Feed raw meaty bones from chicken, turkey, lamb,
beef, rabbit, pork, as well as the muscle meat from these animals.
Give him your table scraps, except highly spiced or salty food.
An adult, active Giant Schnauzer should get approximately one
pound of raw meat, either chicken, lamb, sheep, deer, turkey (all
are good) and/or organ meats, daily. Remember, the best way to
feed is not to mix the food groups or protein sources. Best is
to feed only chicken one meal or only hamburger & organ meats
one meal or only vegetables for one meal with an egg yolk to make
it tastier. Any Giant under 1 year should get all he wants to
eat 2x daily while still growing. Adjust amount of food to your
dog’s activity level; do not let him get fat. Dogs should
eat 75% meat, 25% vegetables and/or fruits – easy to remember.
If you like to have some dry dog food available, you can offer
your dog one cup in a separate dish daily. Use a first class dog
food like Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance Potato &
Duck (call 1-800-829-4493) or any other potato based dog food,
BUT only as a filler. My own dogs never get processed dry food.
Only feed if you are gone all day and cannot offer fresh food.Check
that the dog food does not contain grains of any kind, soy or
dairy products (These are trigger foods for seizures in sensitive
dogs, so avoid all dry food if possible).

| SUPPLEMENTS
4 PETPALS
1 TRE-EN-EN (Omega 3, 6 & ( essential oils needed
daily)- give instead of flaxseed oil 2 ALL - C - equivalent
to 6 oranges (all natural – not ascorbic acid)
1 VITAMIN E+ (by GNLD) – Best antioxidant
and cancer prevention-this vitamin is extremely important for
your dog and yourself. It is the only natural vitamin E available
in the U.S.A. and it is expensive but worth every penny.
1 ALPHA LIPOIC ACID- Vit. C + E + Alpha Lipoic
acid will truly raise the antioxidant level in your dog. Your
very best way to prevent cancer.
1 ACIDOPHILUS CAPSULE- daily to all pups to keep
the stomach flora in good health. Really helps in avoiding diarrhea.
3 CAL - MAG TABLETS or 3 CALCIUM PLUS- if you
do not feed raw chicken bones or any other raw bones give calcium
2 COLOSTRUM – give first thing am on an
empty stomach is best to keep intestines in top shape.
1 MSM – a.m. and p.m. mixed in food, or
¼ teaspoon a.m. and p.m. sprinkled on food.
Optional - but highly recommended if you like your dog to grow
large.
1 MICROHYDRIN capsule- This is a newly discovered
formula. We strongly recommended it if you like to get your dog
to grow big. Also, it is a superb antioxidant for preventing cancer
and disease in general. We’ll send an audio and video so
you can understand how it works, just ask for it.
3 ALFALFA daily- horses, elephants live exclusively
from alfalfa and they are very large
This is for Giant Schnauzers, pups and adults – Minis and
Standards get half these dosages. These are vitamins from Neolife
(GNLD) – one of the oldest and best companies in the USA.
We use their products exclusively to be sure about quality, don’t
guess on vitamin/mineral supplements.
We urge you to give the supplements daily. For older dogs who
have been on commercial food we strongly suggest you give 2 Enzymes
daily before meals.
|
| If
you cannot feed 1 lb. of raw meaty bones daily we suggest you
substitute with 3 – 4 egg yolks on those days meat is not
available. Be sure your dog gets red meat & organ meats at
least 3 times weekly.Any leftovers from your table are excellent
and RAW KNUCKLEBONES several times weekly –
important for the minerals and to clean his teeth. Bone marrow
from raw bones is very important for your dog’s hips and
bones.
KEEP IN MIND THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO AVOID IS PROCESSED
FOOD. ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN HEATED EVEN A MINUTE IN THE MICROWAVE
HAS LOST ITS ENZYMES. That's why we are against commercial
dog foods. Dogs need live food, which means raw, fresh, and uncooked.
Dogs should eat only meat, vegetables & fruits. Avoid all
grains – most dogs become allergic to them. Wheat, soy and
dairy are the biggest cause of allergies in dogs (seizures are
a form of allergy).
Dogs are carnivores with a powerful digestive system. They have
survived fourteen-thousand+ years on raw meat. Since we have followed
this diet our pups and adults NEVER have any health problems,
including hip dysplasia, skin rashes, allergies etc. Our 13 -
14 year olds act and look as healthy as the 2 year olds. Dogs
do not get worms from raw meat or raw liver – that’s
an old wives tale. Healthy dogs will not get Salmonella from raw
chicken.
Feed all pups all they want to eat 3 times daily. If you must
be gone all day, fix up meat, vegetables, or leftovers a.m. and
p.m. and leave a big meaty bone. Always leave fresh water. Clean,
distilled water or electrolyzed water is best—read all the
flyers to understand why.
We
can ship any order of vitamins
just call and order. We ship daily.
