I really would like a meat grinder. While Conker has learned how to chew his food a bit he is still a dumbass and tries to swallow giant hunks of things. Plus I've decided that unless he shows otherwise, I just don't want to risk him choking on a piece of meat or whatever.
Tonight I made up 10 days with of food. I magically pulled out just about that much meat from the freezer. I am normally over or under by quite a bit but I was only off by 1/4th of a meal which is easily fixed. Anyways, what I made is this:
This is half of the meat mixture, the rest is in tupperwares. It consists of roughly:
Turkey, 12 ounces
Pork, 10 ounces
Lamb, 6 ounces
Beef trim, 4 ounces
Chicken hearts, 8 ounces
Canned salmon and mackerel, 8 ounces
Liver and kidney, 7-8 ounces
Eggs, 2
Turkey bone, 8 ounces
Not "perfect" but it works. Juneau enjoyed the bits of canned fish I gave her and since Conker loves sardines I don't think he'll object to the salmon and mackerel.
So, can you see why I'd like a meat grinder? Chopping all that meat into non-choking sized pieces takes a while, plus none of the bone is actually chopped. It still needs to be crunched.
Here is Conker's food packaged into 2 day portions. I did have a lot of leftover canned fish but I expected that and stuck the rest in the freezer. Sasha really wanted it though. I kept the "water" from the cans and will pour a bit over the dog's food tomorrow.
