I pulped (not chopped) the fruit. I did this by using my juicer and scraping out the pulp and then adding the juice. I took the fruit & veg mix and heated it to 40 degrees celsius. (Anything heated to under 45 degrees is still considered "raw"). This resembled the digested plant matter one would find in the stomach of a herbivore.
I then mixed it all together, added a multivitamin supplement and fish oil and there I had it. My first raw food mix for my hounds.
(I was rather pleased and gave then a small test sample. They lapped it up - Fudge was a little dubious but ended up enthusiastically looking up at me for more when he was done. That evening I fed them their allocated portions again and again it was very well received by Bailey. Fudge was yet again a tad unsure, but ended up finishing it rather happily)
There isn't much of a recipe. I used 70% beef mince and minced chicken. 10 % organ meat (minced tripe and chicken livers) and 20% fruits and vegetables prepared as described in the first paragraph. The fruits and vegetables I used was pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, spinach, blue berries, apples, broccoli and celery.
Personal notes:
After 2 days Bailey refused to eat this. He through up his 3rd meal and went on an eating strike for 5 days. Fudge started eating very reluctantly after a few days and by day 6 he also said "no thanks".
I was proud with what I had done but before the week was up completely deflated. I decided to take what I had learnt and move onto developing something that would suit my dogs.
