Another ATTY PATTY Recipe

We thought we would supply you with another Atty Patty recipe that we have been using. When you make them you can change the ingredients from week to week depending on what fresh fruit, vegetables and meat is available to you. Atlas seems to prefer this recipe to the original one we posted at the end of last year.
Please note that the size of the patties should be made according to the weight of your dog. Atlas is a 37kg GSD and he gets one Atty Patty per day (for breakfast) weighing approximately 420g. Keep an eye on your dog's weight and alter the size of the patties if you see them gaining or losing weight. It is also important to thoroughly know your breed of dog. For example GSD are large breed dogs and therefore should have very little fat (you should feel a thin layer of fat between their fur and ribs) - the reason being that if larger breed dogs are too heavy this can lead to hip dysplsia as one example. So make sure you research your dog breed's ideal healthy weight.

ATTY PATTY Recipe Number 2

Ingredients:
1 butter leaf lettuce
1 broccoli head
1 cucumber
2 carrots
1 clove garlic
1 banana
1 apple
1kg lean beef mince
800g ox kidney
3 tablespoons fish oil or 2 eggs (for omega 3)
2 tablespoons coconut oil (see previous blog post for amazing and extensive benefits)

As in the previous blog post on Atty Patties these are made the exact same way. Vegetables, fruit and kidneys are gound/mushed in a food processor (we normally need to split it into a few lots). We then mix all of these ingredients plus the mince and oils into a bowl and then divide them up. This recipe will make approximately 7 x 420g patties.

In the original recipe we did not add fruit, however fruit also contains lots of nutrients and Atlas really likes fruit. We always make sure that there are a lot of green vegetables, and generally the meat is double the weight of the vegetables.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients as it also adds variety to your dog's diet. Just make sure beforehand that they can eat that food. What we mean by this is that avocado is toxic to most animals (see blog post on Indie and Hermes), dogs also cannot eat onions and grapes as other examples.
