High Protien Low Fat Dog Food Recipe from The Canine Ancestral Diet

In our recent review of Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet, we included this sample recipe for a high protein, low and balanced fat dog diet. It sounds so yummy and healthy we believe it deserves repeating here in the Tripawds Nutrition blog …

Beef Recipe #2

  • 12 oz white rice, cooked
  • 6 oz red leaf lettuce

  • ¼ tsp cod liver oil
  • ¼ tsp kelp
  • 20 to 100 IUs (1 to 5 drops) Vitamin E

Chop all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Feeds a typical 25 lb dog for one week. A 75 lb moderately active dog would require 33 oz. of this food daily.

  1. We wonder too, and have a question into the author about that. It’s a rather scientific read, so we’re sure there’s a reason and will report back.

    White rice is easier to digest, but it has less nutritional value. It probably has something to do with carbohydrate content.
