Satin Balls for Weight Gain

Satin Balls is a total canine diet. It can be feed by itself or as a supplement, for however long you wish. My dogs have been on Satin Balls for over a year; the only time that I have fed it alone is when I had a sick dog needing to be built up or an underweight dog that I plan on showing.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 10 pounds hamburger meat [the cheapest kind]
  • 1 lg. box of Total cereal
  • 1 lg. box oatmeal
  • 1 jar of wheat germ
  • 1 1/4 cup veg oil
  • 1 1/4 cup of unsulfured molasses
  • 10 raw eggs AND shells
  • 10 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
  • pinch of salt

PREPARATION

 

Option 1

Mix all ingredients together, much like you would a meatloaf. 
Divide into 10 quart freezer bags and freeze.
Thaw as needed and feed raw!

OPTION 2

If feeding raw makes you nervous, you can form into meatballs and bake for 10 min at 400F in preheated oven. After they come out of the oven, place on paper towels to absorb any grease. 

 

A pint size freezer bag should hold 10-12 meatballs. Freeze in freezer and thaw 1 bag at a time and use with every meal. Mix with regular dry food to get added vitamins and minerals.
