Anyone have a good recipe for satin balls? I need to put some weight on Derek. Its HOT and he isn't eating. He hasn't lost too much but a couple of pounds lost makes him look too skinny.

i got this off another dog forum i read

Recipe 1
500g ground beef (one with plenty of fat in it)
250g pkg cream cheese
1 jar all natural peanut butter
1 jar (smaller of the sizes) wheat germ
1 doz egg yolks
1 cup or so of flaked oats soaked in heavy cream
Mix up, form balls, freeze, feed as treats or food supplement.

Recipe 2
5kg Cheap hamburger meat {high fat content}
Lg box of Sustain Cereal
Lg box of uncooked oatmeal
1 jar of Wheat Germ
1 1/4 cup of veg oil
1 1/4 cup of unflavored molasses
10 eggs
10 pks of unflavored gelatin
Garlic to Taste
1 cup of flaxseed...ground up.
2 scoops of Source/Kelp

Take all dry ingredients and place in a bowl. I crunch up the Sustainl while still in the box, and then pour all the other dry ingredients over it In a another large bowl put the hamburger meat and the wet ingredients. Mix each bowl well, then half each so that it is easier to mix. Mix just like you would a meatloaf I then take it raw, and place in freezer bags and put in the freezer, thaw out a bag as needed. feed raw. I use this not only as a quick weight gain, but as a everyday supplement for my dogs this recipe has been tested and analyzed by several universities and was found to be a total canine diet a dog could live on this without added kibble or any other supplements...this was before I added the Garlic and the Flaxseed and Kelp I have long hair black dogs, and this recipe really keeps their coat black/soft/long since I have...the past 6 months I have had no vet bills...and my dogs coats are wonderful, you need to watch how much you feed it will put weight on a slim dog in a matter of a few days. It will also make an easy keeper fat in just a short period of time. Try it, your dogs will love it!!! One other thing, I have just started to add Kelp to it also, just for the added Iodine, may be good for those dogs that have a lower normal thyroid function. You can make this recipe in what ever amount you need/want by just halving the recipe down to what you want.

Recipe 3
5kg hamburger mince or Chicken Pet Mince
1 box of Sustain or Just Right-Just Grains
500g Oatmeal
#1 cup of Wheat Germ
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
#1 1/4 cup of Un-flavored Molasses
10 raw eggs + eggshells
100g of Un-flavored Gelatine
#1 cup of flax seed*
6tsp Powdered Kelp*
3tsp Crushed Garlic*
3tsp Apple Cidar Vinegar*

Add all dry foods together - mix. in another Larger bowl (I bought a HUGE Bucket/Basket thing from The Warehouse - $ Cool

, mix all wet foods together including crushed up eggshells. Add Dry foods into the wet container (this is where it gets messy), and mix with fingers. Make into balls, and devide into bags.

Satin balls work very well, but if he's not eating due to the heat, he might not like satin balls, they are very fatty which is how they pack on the weight so fast. But then again it IS raw fatty ground beef, that's hard for any dog to turn their noses to!
