SATAN BALL RECIPE:
Ingredients
10 pounds quality hamburger meat with high fat content
1 lg. box of Total cereal
1 lg. box old fashioned oatmeal
1 jar of wheat germ
1 1/4 cup coconut oil
1 1/4 cup of unsulfured molasses
10 raw eggs AND shells smashed into small pieces
10 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
pinch of salt
Its symptoms include retching with no vomiting, extreme salivation, obvious discomfort, and distention of the abdomen. Gulping food can bring on an attack of bloat, and it is often recommended that dogs should be fed twice daily to avoid the hunger pangs that lead to eating too fast. Some breeders believe that foods containing soybeans shouldn’t be fed to breeds that are susceptible to bloat because the beans can produce gas.
Many cases of bloat occur in the evening, after the dog has perhaps shared the family snack of pizza or some other highly-spiced food and then exercised. Treatment is expensive and not always successful. Feeding moistened dog food and postponing exercise for a couple of hours after the meal may help prevent bloat.

- Mix all ingredients together with your hands, much like you would a meatloaf.
- Divide into meatball shaped balls.
- Place meatballs onto baking sheets and freeze.
- Thaw as needed and feed raw!
- Satin Balls are also a great way to feed medications as pills are easily hidden inside.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RAW STANDARD POODLE FOOD!
We offer a RAW Dog Food Recipe Maker at the bottom of this article.
Choose a few of the following in a food processor:
Carrots, parsley, zucchini, celery, lentils, pumpkin or practically any leftover veggies from your own dinners. (NO onions)
Mix thoroughly with the following:
Clean well or filtered water.
1 teaspoon Raw Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
1/8 lb. Raw Organic Ground Turkey
3 to 5 Raw Organic Chicken Hearts quartered
1 teaspoon fresh Mint
1 teaspoon fresh Alfalfa sprouts
½ cup Sweet Potato (organic, baked or boiled – skin on)
½ Eggshell (organic or veg-fed) ground, use mortar and pestle
½ teaspoon Sea Kelp (organically processed with trace minerals)
1 teaspoon Organic Flaxseed Oil
½ teaspoon cold processed Cod Liver Oil or Salmon Oil
1 tablespoon ground pumpkin or flax seeds
Place leftovers in refrigerator (if there are leftovers). Or you may add to older, more patient dog’s meal. Do not keep leftovers for more than 1 day.
Your French Standard Poodle will love their new diet and they'll be as healthy as can be.
A little snack for Dessert
1 Raw Organic Chicken Neck (Never Cooked)
These necks are made up of meat and bone. Standard Poodle puppies begin chewing and eating these delectable delights at just 12 weeks of age. This is an excellent source of calcium and a wonderful well-anticipated treat for your pup (dog or cat). Older dogs eat 2 or 3. Some of the large males swallow these treats whole. They are highly prized by your pets and can be used for reward, as can the raw hearts. If chicken necks or turkey necks are not available, supplement the diet with 1 tablespoon of Bone Meal mixed into the recipe above. Research the bone meal origins thoroughly. Dogs will try to make this their primary meal. Wait to feed until after dinner to discourage a bad habit of desiring only necks. Caution here too is stressed not to give more than one neck a day to a puppy under 12 months of age or perhaps 3 or 4 times a week due to promoting possible bone growth disorders promoted by too much calcium.
As your puppy grows, increase the food proportionately, there should be flesh over the ribs and backbone but not overly fat. When you place your palms flat on their ribs you shouldn't readily feel them, you should have to press slightly to feel the ribs. (Note: If you are feeding this recipe in conjunction with a kibble diet check dog food ingredient list on bag each time it's purchased to make certain contents have not changed. They may change to lesser ingredients without notice. The best kibble does not contain corn, soy, peas or meat by-products. Be careful of some of the Lamb and Rice diets as you may just be buying a large bag of rice or expensive bag of peas! See how many times (the proportion) rice is used in different forms. Rice slows digestion and is used with lesser grade meats to keep your dog’s stools solid. By-products can be anything scrapped off the floor . . . . so you see why your dog will thrive with for-human-consumption quality ingredients.)
It was most likely that your dog's pre-historic ancestors ate small game creatures such as rabbits, birds and deer. They in turn, have digesting vegetable matter. To replicate the fermenting vegetation make certain to pulverize vegetables for the best assimilation by your pet. Boiling works, but is less beneficial. The mint is given as an aid to digestion and pumpkin seeds to dissuade internal parasites. The vinegar is given to help a dog adjust to raw meat and can be discontinued after a few months if desired. Because they produce less gas than other potatoes, sweet potatoes are recommended. Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage should also be used less frequently because of gas producing factors. Egg yolks are fine to add, but not the egg whites. Egg whites, unless cooked, contain a substance called avidin, which destroys the B vitamin biotin. Rice, yogurt and cottage cheese together should be given after skipping one meal for a first step in treating diarrhea, otherwise, no dairy products. Gradually add regular diet with mixture over several days.
This diet is worth every penny and all the extra effort. An average Poodle costs @ $90.00 per month to feed this diet. It is especially helpful to a working, lactating or geriatric dog.
This diet is only a part of the Poodles’ health care.
Please also be aware not to over vaccinate; not to use anesthesia in conjunction with teeth cleaning procedures; and not to use pesticides directly (Advantage, etc.) on your poodles they have been proven to cause neurological issues in dogs. The dog’s health is so greatly improved with this diet that the natural anti-flea defenses go to work for your pet.
A pet in top health is resistant to many types of parasites and diseases.
Special appreciation to Newfoundland breeder, Kymythy Schultze, whose holistic animal care seminar I first attended in 1995. The information assimilated that day has had a profound and beneficial effect on not only what I feed my line of champion poodles, but also how I select the food I prepare for my own meals.

THE PRIMARY FEEDING RULE: REMOVE FOOD BETWEEN MEALS
One of the important contributing factors to ill health for dogs and cats is food left in the bowl between feedings. Digestion has one of the highest priorities in the body, and while it is taking place, the blood supply and the body's energies are devoted to this task. Animals in the wild may eat only once a day or even every other day and then fast until the next meal. This gives their bodies a chance to eliminate waste from their cells and to repair and heal tissues.
Studies show that it is the smell of food that triggers the body to prepare for digestion. Enzymes are produced, saliva and digestive juices start flowing, blood flow is redirected to the stomach, and the body slows down to accommodate the expected nourishment. If an animal is constantly smelling food from the food bowl, this digestive mechanism will tend to wear out. It is thought that cats and dogs age faster because of the resultant undersupply of blood to the major organ systems.
Another effect of food left between meals in an increased tendency toward F.U.S. (Feline Urologic Syndrome) in cats. Every time a cat smells food, it creates an "alkaline tide" in its body as it prepares for digestion. It is this alkaline condition in the urinary tract that causes the crystals to form that block the cat's urethra. Cats who get F.U.S. frequently come from homes where food was made available all day long.
We recommend that you feed fully grown pets once or twice a day. Leave the food down no more than 15-20 minutes, then pick it up and either refrigerate what is left or wash the bowl to remove all traces of food odor. Another benefit --- no finicky eaters.

Building a Good Foundation . . . Naturally
by Kymythy Schultze, Animal Health Instructor
There are many ways in which Nature can assist in one of the most natural processes; the miracle of birth. Before you breed your dog, she should be in excellent health and condition. Holistic health care works with nature and your pet's body to keep her in optimal health and an asset to your breeding program.
The foundation of health is diet. Food is second only to air in what your dog takes into its body most often. Food provides the energy for life. Good food provides lots of energy, poor food does not.
Your domestic carnivore's body was shaped over eons of evolution to thrive on particular foods. The closer you can simulate the diet that your dog's body is designed to eat, the healthier your dog will be.
The canine's short digestive system is equipped to thrive on raw food. Cooking damages many elements in food that are vital to good health. A balanced diet of raw meat, bones, vegetables, herbs, and oils provides an excellent nutrient profile. Balancing proportions of ingredients is made easier if one thinks in terms of "prey animal" proportions. What would one find in a mouse, bird or rabbit? A large part of any wild meal is raw bones...lots of them. There would also be some muscle and organ meat, hide/hair/fur/feathers, and stomach contents.
The stomach contents would include grasses, plants, seeds, nuts, bark and/or fruit - no grains.
"Pottenger's Cats: A Study in Nutrition" by Dr. Francis Pottenger should be required reading for anyone feeding animals, especially breeders.* The study demonstrates the health benefits of a raw food diet and follows a breeding program of several generations. The difference in health between the animals fed raw food and those fed cooked food is shocking. The raw food cats thrived generation after generation, with no reproductive problems.
With the cooked food, cats had many health problems and were unable to reproduce by the third generation.
ALL nutrients are important for pregnancy and whelping: protein, vitamins, minerals, fats, enzymes. They can all be obtained from raw food. Abundant raw meat, fish and eggs provide good protein. Raw chicken or turkey backs, necks and wings provide important calcium. Cod-liver oil and flaxseed oil provide essential fatty acids.
Raw pulpy green and root vegetables provide enzymes, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. A good quality powdered kelp is nutrient dense and can be added to meals daily as a vitamin/mineral supplement. Kelp also helps balance the glands, especially thyroid.
Thyroid problems often lead to reproductive problems. Red raspberry leaf has been used for centuries as a fertility aid and pregnancy tonic. There are also homeopathic remedies that are very useful for pregnancy, whelping, and rearing puppies.**
A pregnant dog that is eating a nutritious raw diet will usually eat just slightly more than usual. After the pups are born, she'll consume more to keep everyone fed. Feeding her more raw poultry meaty bones will provide a wide array of nutrients and make almost instant milk for the pups.
In the wild, at weaning time, Momma dog would feed her youngsters the same things she ate; only in regurgitated semi-liquid form.
Human care-givers can follow her lead by making adult meals mushy for weaning pups. Raw chicken necks can be put through a meat grinder. Raw knuckle bones (devoid of fat) in the whelping box can provide added nutrition, chewing practice and hours of entertainment. Adding buffered vitamin C to the pups' meal helps them build a strong immune system. As pups grow and develop, raw chicken necks can be just smashed and then eventually left whole.
If feeding large pups, one can graduate to feeding larger chicken meaty bones as the pups grow.
My experience has shown me that pups raised this way are exceptionally strong and healthy. They have a high resistance to parasites and disease. Their bone is straight and of good substance and their teeth are pearl-white. They are bright and learn very quickly (I attribute this to feeling good!). Even my puppy families notice the difference!
