A large number of meats and cuts can be used with CompleteMe Hypo Canine. Variety is important; we strongly recommend feeding a range of different meat types and cuts. Don't exclusively feed very lean meats. 5% fat is a good everyday choice, with occasional higher and lower fat meats as well. Try to include different textures as well, for example, chunks, small strips, mince, etc.

• Poultry:
  Skinless and boneless chicken thigh, drumstick or breast, mince (2-3% fat), gizzards, hearts (fat trimmed off)
  Skinless and boneless turkey or duck breast or turkey mince (6% fat)
• Pork:
  Lean pork mince or diced pork loin with 5% fat, rump steak (untrimmed)
• Lamb, beef, goat, or venison:
  Extra-lean diced lamb or goat meat (including heart or tongue) with 5% fat
  Lean venison fillet or steak (e.g. shoulder, backstrap, rump eye, leg steak)
  Extra-lean (5 star) beef mince, gravy or chuck beef with 5% fat, blade, round or rump steak (fat trimmed off), eye fillet or topside roast or steak (fat trimmed off)
  Lamb or beef heart (fat trimmed off)
• Game meat:
  Lean kangaroo or wallaby mince or steak with 2-3% fat
  Wild or farmed boneless rabbit or hare meat
  Emu fan fillet or flat fillet (1-3% fat)
  Wild boar backstrap, boneless leg, or loin chops
• Fish:
  Skinless and boneless white fish fillets, like whiting, hoki, ling, or barramundi
  Tuna, canned in springwater
  (please don't feed fish exclusively)
• Other:
  Cottage cheese, low fat (2% fat)

For vegetables, try pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, green peas, carrot, zucchini, squash, spinach, kale, turnips, parsnips, watercress, Asian greens, mushrooms, tomato, capsicum or cabbage. 

​Both fresh and frozen vegetables are fine. We recommend steaming or microwaving for most vegetables, however baking can also work well sometimes. 

For fruit, try strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apple, pear, banana, mango, peach, plum, kiwifruit, guava, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, rockmelon or honeydew melon. Please be very careful to remove any pits or stones, and avoid toxic fruit like grapes, raisins or currants.

This makes just over 1 kilogram of food, which can be portioned and fed immediately, or stored in the fridge (max 3 days) or freezer (max 3 months) until needed.

You can include the meat raw or cooked, depending on preference. For raw human-grade meat, be sure to freeze the meat for 10 days prior to use. For pork (in areas with Trichinella), freezing for 3 weeks prior to use is sensible. Please discuss raw-feeding with your dog's veterinarian; raw feeding is not suitable for all dogs or households.

For a low fat diet, select leaner proteins. The following are the lowest fat combinations:

• Tuna (canned in spring water) + pasta:
  15.5% fat on a caloric basis
• Skinless turkey breast + sweet potato:
  16.4% fat on a caloric basis
• Skinless chicken breast + white rice:
  20.5% fat on a caloric basis
• Kangaroo fillet or steak + couscous:
  20.0% fat on a caloric basis
• Low-fat cottage cheese + pearled barley:
  23.8% fat on a caloric basis
• Venison fillet or steak + rolled oats:
  24.0% fat on a caloric basis

Please include all other ingredients, as per the ingredients list above. For reference, commercial prescription low-fat diets have 17-20% calories from fat.

Yes, using novel proteins is fine. Please select proteins with 2-10% fat only. Some options could include:
Emu fan or flat fillet, or full rump
Crocodile tail or leg meat
Venison mince, fillet or steak
Wild boar shoulder (deboned) or mince
Lean diced boneless goat (visible fat trimmed off)
