Great product.
I have been cooking Dr. Doty’s Holistic Recipe for many years. The Canine Regular Premix with Grass-fed Beef Liver makes sure your dogs gets all the nutrients they need.
My picky very sensitive Cavapoo has been eating holistic vet blend recipes with the regular premix for a few months. She looks great and feels great and finally has a good appetite. I cook the ingredients on the stove in a pot then puree in my ninja so she can’t sort the ingredients. She finally has perfect firm stool that looks like her food is fully digested too. We are very happy.
I just started using this product but so far my pups love it
I use this powder in the recipes from the pet cook book. I was a little worried because I’ve tried greens blends in the past and my dog wouldn’t touch it. My dog loves this product and licks the bowl clean every time.

Stovetop Instructions:
Cook each item separately: Cook the rice
in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Bake or steam potatoes. Cook quinoa with broth or water. Sauté vegetables with the meat or steam separately. Combine all items and add the premix and Omega-3 source after cooking.
InstantPot Instructions:
This is my favorite method and requires the least amount of work. Sauté meat in coconut oil in a 6-qt or larger pressure cooker. Add vegetables, carbohydrates and liquid required for your carb of choice (consult InstantPot cookbooks). Cook on high pressure for the time necessary for the carbohydrate. Manual release. Add Premix and
Omega-3 source.
This recipe yields approximately 6 pounds of food or 12-14 cups depending on ingredient choices. One canister of HVB contains enough premix for 8 recipes so will ultimately yield 45-50 pounds of food. Keep up to 4 days of food in the refrigerator and freeze the rest.
More recipes are available in our free cookbook and on our YouTube channel.

2. Small Medium dog/11- 25 lbs (ex. Cavalier King Charles, Pug, Beagle) 1-3+ months
3. Medium Large dog/26 - 50 lbs (ex. Cocker Spaniel, Border Collie) 1 month
4. Large dog/51-75 lbs (ex. Lab, Pitbull, Golden Retriever) 2 weeks to 1 month
5. Large Giant dog/75-100 lbs (ex. Akita, Newfoundland, Bernese Mountain Dog)2 weeks
We recommend large breed puppies (Labrador size or greater) be fed large breed puppy food until 8 months of age as they need to grow at a more controlled rate. Toy, small, and medium-sized breeds may begin the diet at 4 months of age.
No. You should prepare the recipe in its entirety and add the premix last and mix in well.
Make sure you download our free cookbook and check out our YouTube channel. Regular blend recipes can be can be prepared on the stove, or in a pressure cooker or slow cooker. Holistic Vet Blend® Regular Blend has more vegetables and fits best in an 8 quart pressure cooker. (Limited blend recipes can fit a 6 quart pressure cooker). We also have raw recipes.
After cooking, the prepared diet can be refrigerated for 4 days. If feeding raw, the diet should be frozen in servings for up to 4 months and thawed out for each feeding thereafter. Cooked food can be refrigerated for up to 6 months.
The organ meat is sourced from New Zealand grass-fed beef.
The product was developed by a PhD animal nutritionist and a veterinarian.
The product is made in a facility that only uses ingredients fit for human consumption (no feed-grade ingredients). The product is manufactured in California.
A certificate of analysis is provided for each batch. The individual ingredients as well as the final batch are tested for bacteria (Salmonella, coliforms, E. Coli, Staph Aureus) and fungal pathogens, lead, mercury, and arsenic.
Although many pets have done very well on raw diets, each individual pet and their family has different needs. AVMA does not recommend feeding raw diets due to the risks of exposure to zoonotic risks (spread of Campylobacter or Salmonella) to humans. Use proper hygiene, especially if there are immune-compromised individuals in the household.
If using raw meat, you should puree the vegetables or lightly cook them so that they are digestible.
