Dear Friends, this is our home made food for one pug bitch and for one pug dog. This is the minimun amount we give them, and we increase it according to each pug, if more active ou younger. Just observe the weight and increase if necessary.
For other breeds, one can give a proportional amount of the mixture, for instance, doubling the portion. But it is importat to keep the same proportion among the ingredients. As the basis for the calculation, our pug bitches weight 8 to 9 kilos, and our males weight 10 to 11 kilos.
The daily portion is divided between two meals. In our experience, we got a much better profitting doing this way, and the pugs got even more beaultiful after that.
To provide the calcium required by them, we changed chicken necks by fresh fish, because some pugs choked with the bones, besides the benefits of ômega 3 & ômega 6.
We have no experience with the use of this home made food in puppies, for the only reason we don’t have puppies here anymore. If we would raise a puppy, we would use it, increasing the proportional amount of protein (meat) and calcium (fish).
We offer them sticks every night to clean the teeths.
The is no need to adapt slowly from dry food to this diet, but it will be necessary a very slow change to do the opposite.
This diet was elaborated out of the precepts of Chinese medicine, in combination with other diets that recommend raw food. Some ingredients are offered well cooked, and others raw. It has been used with great success in our 20 pugs for one year. But we do believe that any well balanced diet of home made food will be better than the best dry food for your dog. Based on the clinical cases and the healings we got with this diet, we concluded it is better working and investing in our pug’s health than in their illness.
FREEZING: If you wish, you can freeze each day portions of food. It is more functional. The GARLIC, the OLIVE OIL and the BEER YEAST cannot be freezed, but will be added to the food portion in the day it will be consumed.
