I've fed this to dogs with weight, food, and digestive issues and each has thrived on it. I've been making it for 17 years. This is the real recipe developed between a breeder and university including canine nutritionists to be a complete diet. Don't skip any ingredients. Especially the egg shells. They're there for a reason!

I made this for a friend's dog who needs some extra weight on her. I started out mixing the ingredients in a dishpan, but quickly moved to a 5 gallon bucket. LOL Putting it together was easy. I had to laugh, though, at the pinch of salt considering almost everything else is the entire package. My dog gave it her seal of approval. She cleaned up the bucket and dishpan for me. LOL The otehr dog is eating it, and we'll see in a bit if she puts some weight on. I may just make some for my own dog to use as a treat. Thanks.

I have made these for my dogs and they loved every bite. But be careful - these can make a dog fat FAST! Wouldn't want them to eat this all the time. One tip: form the mixture into bite-size balls (or bullet shape) according to the size of your dog's mouth. Freeze portions in ziplocks and thaw as needed. The smaller shape makes defrosting a little quicker, and you can hand feed without a lot of mess.

I work in a middle school as an assistant principal. I love to try new restaurants, usually ethnic, and recreate dishes at home. I also like to bake, and would only eat dessert if such a thing were possible.
