650 grams of lean muscle meat (2-8% fat)
(see FAQs below for recommended meat types and cuts)

100 grams of heart, gizzards, tripe, or tongue
(choose from chicken, turkey or duck hearts or gizzards, lamb or beef tongue, lamb, beef or goat heart, or beef, goat or lamb tripe. Try to rotate between different choices)

2 large chicken eggs (50 grams each; including the white, yolk, and membrane, plus the shell from one egg only)

1 teaspoon of cold-pressed hemp seed oil or walnut oil
(Essential omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat. Poultry provides plenty of omega-6, but beef, lamb and kangaroo can be low in this).

2 level teaspoons of CompleteMe® Canine
(Measuring the CompleteMe Canine in grams is the most accurate method, 8.5 grams = 2 level teaspoons)

20-100 grams of mixed vegetables and fruit, especially berries, leafy greens, kiwifruit, papaya, carrot, pumpkin, or other antioxidant-rich foods

1-4 teaspoons of any fibre supplement

3. Add the sardines and hemp seed oil, and mix again.
4. Add any optional extras, such as fibre, or fruit and vegetables.
5. Allow to cool then add 8.5 grams of CompleteMe® Canine (2 level teaspoons) and mix again.

Feeding bones

You may choose to feed your dog bones for enrichment or dental benefits. Please be aware of the risks of feeding bones, including dental fractures, oesophageal trauma or perforation, constipation or complete blockage of the gut, or trauma or perforation of the intestine.
If you choose to feed bones, be sure to select size-appropriate options for your dogs. Safer choices may include fresh lamb ribs, chicken, turkey or duck necks, beef brisket, or chicken wings. Remember that:

• Cooked bones should never be given to dogs
• Bones should never be given in small chunks as they could be swallowed
• Bones should only be given to dogs under direct supervision
• Bones should be almost as big as your dog’s head to reduce the risk of swallowing
• Machine-cut bones are too sharp to feed safely
• Large weight-bearing bones like beef femurs commonly cause tooth fractures. It can be good for your dog to chew the meat off the bone, but then the bone should be removed

If you choose to feed bones with this diet, we recommend a maximum of 1-2 bones per week, because the diet already contains enough calcium and phosphorus. Remember that there are other ways of providing enrichment, and looking after your dog's teeth - variety is the spice of life!

Do not add CompleteMe Canine to any commercial dog food, or use with any other nutritional supplements (containing vitamins and/or minerals).

However, it is safe to feed a balanced homemade diet with a balanced commercial diet. For example, you could choose to feed 50% homemade raw diet, and 50% air-dried diet.

For raw meat, freeze for 10 days before use to destroy parasites like Toxoplasma. In areas with Trichinella, please freeze pork for 3 weeks before use. Be aware of the risks of feeding raw chicken (for example, harmful bacteria like salmonella and campylobacter species) These bacteria are not destroyed by freezing. Your local vet can give you more information on raw-feeding and whether it is right for your dog and household.

Larger batches can be made and frozen for convenience. Keep refrigerated food for 3 days, and frozen food for 3-4 months. We recommend defrosting food in the fridge or in a warm water bath. Please discard any uneaten food after 30 minutes.

Can I cook the food?

Yes, it's fine to cook the meat, offal and eggs if you feel more comfortable with that. You can gently steam or slow-cook the meat and offal in a pot (and any vegetables), before adding the eggs in the last 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then add the sardines, oil, and CompleteMe Canine, and mix well. Portion and freeze.
