Our Base Blends are a supplemental blend of ground meat, bone and organ available in 2lb bricks. These are modeled after a prey model diet and while not considered complete and balanced, they can be used in conjunction with a complete diet or as an occasional meal to add variety to your pet's diet. The Base Blends could also be used to create a more customized diet for pets with special needs with the help of your vet or nutritionist.
We do not have any recipes to follow but here are some suggestions of add-ins you could use to spruce up the Base Blends:
- Bone broth or goat's milk
- Veggie mix or fiber source
- Oil of choice
- Eggs
- Sardines (in water, no salt)
- Pet-specific supplements
- Multi-vitamin or base mix
We do not have a set feeding guideline for the Base Blends as these are supplemental and intended to be used as you see fit as either a topper for added variety or as a base for a customized meal plan for your pet.
As a general rule, average activity, adult animals eat about 2-3% of their body weight per day with young or active pets eating a higher percentage. If using as a topper to a complete and balanced diet, you generally want to keep toppers less than about 20% of their total daily intake.
If you'd prefer a complete and balanced diet every day, please utilize our complete sliders or patties.
