Your Dog's Weekly Menu?

A week might look like this for us...

Mon AM - Whole Tilapia for our 2 fish eaters
Mon PM - Chicken quarters for all 4 girls

Tues AM - Tilapia again
Tues PM - random game meat (elk, buffalo, deer, antelope... whatever we have on hand)

Weds PM - Beef heart: larger than normal portions

Thurs PM - Since Weds was a larger than normal meal we'll skip Thurs feeding

Fri AM - Tilapia
Fri PM - Pork shoulder roast

Sat PM - Chicken backs

Sun PM - Turkey necks


We honestly don't put a ton of thought into each meal. We just pull a random container out of the freezer and they get whatever is inside

This is what a week might look like at our house.


Monday
AM: Chicken Quarters & Chicken Liver
PM: Beef (whatever cut I have on hand that was on sale.) & Beef Kidney

Tuesday
AM: Chicken Quarters & Chicken Liver
PM: Turkey (usually portions cut from a whole turkey) & Brown Egg

Wednesday:

PM: Pork (usually neck bone or cut from a picnic roast) & Beef Kidney

Thursday
AM: Chicken Quarters & Chicken Liver
PM: AM: Chicken Quarters & Brown Egg

Friday
AM: Chicken Quarters & Chicken Liver
PM: Fish (fresh if I can find a good deal, but usually canned mackeral or salmon. My corgi loves sardines, Boxer won't touch them)

Saturday

PM: Pork Again

Sunday
AM: Chicken Quarters & Chicken Liver
PM: Turkey (portions cut from a whole turkey)



This isn't necessarily in the order it goes, but it's what a week might look like at our house. What we try to stick with is:
--Chicken quarters for one meal per day, as it's the cheapest meat, so it makes up the biggest portion of their diet.
--An Egg twice a week, not always on the same days listed
--Fish at least once a week, sometimes twice.
--Pork twice a week because aside from poultry, it's the next cheapest.

Also, their meals aren't always the same size. For the most part it's measured so each day is complete, but breakfast couls be 1 lb, and dinner only 1/2 lb some days... rather than two balanced 3/4 meals. We try to work with the meat in a way that leaves it as whole as possible, rather than cut it all up into pieces for the sake of even weight.

When we have other meats on hand, like game meat, rabbit, duck, etc we throw those in too, but we don't have them regularly so I didn't put them down. These are the meals that are most cost effective for us, so they are the ones the dogs get on a very regular (weekly) basis.
My Boxer seems to do ever so slightly better on turkey than chicken (maybe we're imagining it?) so for her we're considering flipping the amount of turkey and chicken in the diet for her, so it's primarily turkey if that makes sense.
