About the Recipe
Feeding your dog organ meats like pancreas, spleen, and testicles can offer a range of health benefits:
Pancreas: The pancreas is a powerhouse of digestive enzymes and hormones. It supports your dog's own pancreatic health, aids in digestion, and can be especially beneficial for dogs with conditions like pancreatitis or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). It's also proactive against diabetes and provides essential enzymes for older dogs.
Spleen: This organ is rich in vitamins (B12, C, & B6) and minerals (iron, copper, and zinc), acting almost like a multivitamin. It supports the immune system, metabolism, and nervous system function. A small amount of spleen can significantly boost your dog's intake of these vital nutrients.
Testicles: As a secreting organ, testicles are rich in B vitamins and are part of the recommended organ meat allowance in a raw diet for dogs. They contain L-carnitine, which has reproductive benefits, including supporting sperm motility and fertility.
Incorporating these organ meats into your dog's diet can enhance their overall health by providing a variety of essential nutrients not commonly found in muscle meats. Always remember to introduce new foods gradually.
Feed 1-2 times a week, monitoring stools to understand tolerance level, can help to dilute high bone content.
Ingredients
500g Turkey Testicles
500g Pig Pancreas
500g Lamb Spleen
Bone Broth (see bone broth recipe for how to make this)
All ingredients can be replaced with other choices if required
Preparation
Chop the secreting organs into small pieces to improve their blend-ability
Blend in a food processor or similar until relatively smooth
Warm the bone broth into a liquid state if it is not already so and add to loosen the mixture into a thick liquid state
Pour into small moulds and add 1-2 times a week for an extra booster from these amazing secreting organs that are not commonly used in pre made raw pet food.
Note: Every dog tolerates organs differently just like with raw meaty bones but organs can lead to looser stools so it is important you monitor stools. Most who use this recipe tend to give it when they are feeding a DIY day inclusive of a raw meaty bone that is over the dogs usual 10% bone content to help rebalance the situation
