Adult Dog Recipe 2
I feed this recipe to my 11-year-old basset hound who has Cushing's disease. Since being on this formula and the Chinese herbs prescribed by her holistic vet, Daisy has rebounded and is as active and happy as she was before Cushing's started taking her spirit. One batch makes 1000 grams of food.

Pan-broiling the ground beef requires immediate attention because meat crowded into a cold skillet will steam rather than brown, releasing excess moisture that ruins the desired texture. Managing moisture output prevents the final batch from becoming unpalatable or spoiling prematurely in storage. Ground beef must reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure safety before mixing with raw produce and supplements. Efficient meal preparation hinges on utilizing bulk ingredients and pantry staples without waste, keeping overall costs predictable over time. When combining tomato sauce with Hilary's Blend supplement, thorough stirring ensures the micronutrients distribute evenly throughout every single portion rather than clumping together. Cod liver oil and fish oil supply essential omega fatty acids that oxidize rapidly when exposed to heat, which is precisely why these oils must be stirred in strictly after the meat cools completely. Emulsification occurs when the fats from the oils coat the shredded carrot and spinach particles, binding the moisture from the applesauce and tomato sauce into a cohesive mass. Freezing the finished mixture in meal-sized portions extends usability up to three months while preserving the integrity of the fragile fats. Adjusting the ratio of raw grated carrots to cooked beef allows for caloric modification depending on daily activity levels without altering the base supplement proportions.
