DEER HEART DOG FOOD

-

GREAT FOR DIGESTION, CALMING, ANTIBIOTIC 

Sensitive tummy?  Has your buddy eaten something that gave him diarrhea or vomits on your carpet?  Eeeeew.  Here's a Pepto-doggie-dinner.   

 You want to use every morsel of the deer but the family just can't do deer organs?  So you make dog food.  It's veterinarian approved too.  This can be made in increments, as time allows.
     
     This recipe: Cook meat and rice.  Add all raw ingredients and herbs, bag up later. 
  
DEER HEART
3 cups white RICE( apx.)*
1 T. GRD. CINNAMON
HANDFUL CUT STEM PARSLEY} CHOPPED FINE} 
A FEW LEAVES SWEET BASIL}              "                 } MAKES 1/2 CUP
1 T. RAW HONEY
HANDFUL DRIED APRICOTS, CHOPPED 
SMALL SCOOP (1 T. MELTED) VIRGIN RAW COCONUT OIL
3/4 C. COTTAGE CHEESE
1/2 C. (MIX)GRAVY OR 1 SMALL JAR
1-2 SECTIONS FRESH GARLIC
  
  1. 1/2- full deer heart cooked in slow cooker: start on high covered w/water, till water dissipates.  Add more water or broth, reduce to low heat two more hours.   Do not add salt, pepper or herbs.  Let cool, cut into bite size pieces or shred in food processor.  Dump in 2 quart big plastic storage container. 
  2. Boil rice till tender. ADD rice w/water to cut up MEAT.
  3. Smash a section or two of garlic, chop fine, add to meat. 
  4. STIR IN honey, dried apricots, fresh herbs, c. cheese, cinnamon and melted coconut oil.
  5. (If your dog has tummy upset or diarrhea stick with coconut oil, not vegetable oil, lard or bacon grease as tempting as it is).


SPICES OPTIONS all by the teaspoon:
Cut cinnamon to 1 teaspoon, alternate with Chamomile.  Cilantro  (Coriander) or Peppermint use 1-2 teaspoons.
Label and freeze in leakproof sandwich bags or leave in the frig, it will keep for a month without spoiling.  
Do not add Dry Mustard: mustard powder and the condiment mustard are sometimes used to induce vomiting. I ended up making a double batch which was bigger than my plastic container.  If you stir the mix in a bowl to portion into baggies, double the oil since its residue will be wasted on the bowl, but you want that good coconut oil in the food.

 *Use any extra cooked RICE and herbs as a soup base for your own dinner.
