Combine the following cooked ingredients, cool, then add Puppy Blend and mix well:
- 3 pounds lean ground turkey (85%), 93% lean beef or chicken, chicken breast, or chicken thighs
- 1 pound carrots, diced
- 8 ounces broccoli, diced
- 5 cups cooked sweet potato, quinoa, brown rice, or rolled oats
- 50 grams (about 4 level tablespoons) Puppy Blend
- 2 teaspoons Holistic Vet Blend Fish Oil or Green Omega-3
One canister makes over 30 pounds of food (roughly 6½ pounds or 15 cups). Refrigerate up to 4 days; freeze the rest.
Weigh the premix with a kitchen scale that measures grams, as accuracy matters for the mineral balance.
Start with the ranges below, then adjust based on your puppy’s body condition. Individual needs commonly vary by up to 50%.
Puppies under 6 months usually do best with 3–4 meals per day; after 6 months, 2–3 meals is typically enough.
Body condition is your best guide
- Lean (ribs easy to feel, little covering, waist visible) → feed toward the higher end
- Ideal (ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, waist visible) → middle of the range
- Extra condition (ribs harder to find, waist softened) → lower end
Check every two weeks. Steady growth beats fast growth — every time.
FEEDING GUIDE:
Puppy's current weight -> 1 to 4 months -> 4 to 12 months
2 to 5 lb -> 1 to 2 cups/day -> ¾ to 1¼ cups/day
5 to 10 lb -> 2 to 3¼ cups/day -> 1¼ to 2¼ cups/day
10 to 20 lb -> 3¼ to 5½ cups/day -> 2¼ to 3¾ cups/day
20 to 30 lb -> 5½ to 11½ cups/day -> 3¾ to 5 cups/day
50 to 70 lb -> 11 to 14¼ cups/day -> 5 to 7¼ cups/day
70 to 90 lb -> n/a -> 7¼ to 11½ cups/day
One batch lasts from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on puppy size and age. Owners of large-breed puppies should plan on multiple canisters per month. Subscription options are available for savings.
When prepared exactly as directed (stated proteins and quantities + 50 g premix per batch). Substitutions beyond the listed options will change the nutrient profile.
No, except the listed omega-3 source. Do not add extra calcium, bone meal, eggshell, or multivitamins; that works against the carefully controlled formulation.
Through controlled calcium (puppies absorb it passively and cannot regulate excess the way adults can), an appropriate calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, and moderate calorie density that supports steady rather than rapid growth. Nutrition influences how genetic predisposition to orthopedic disease is expressed.
Yes. Many families start this way. Account for total calories and ensure the kibble is also formulated for growth.
One canister makes five batches (~30 lb finished food). For small puppies this can last several weeks; for puppies already over 50 lb it is closer to 1–2 weeks. Subscription options are available.
Small and medium breeds around 12 months. Large and giant breeds at 18–24 months. We recommend transitioning to the appropriate adult Holistic Vet Blend formula at that time.
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 frozen for up to 3 months.
The product was developed by a PhD animal nutritionist and a holistic 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.
