Is the base mix high enough in calcium? Or do I need to give ground meat/bone? Or just ground meat/organ?

I am not certain if it is high enough in calcium. However, the base mix is intended for you to provide meat/bones to your dog with it. So my dog eats an assortments of raw meats, bones, organs, etc. with the base mix...I just rotate the assortment throughout the week. I hope that helps.

My dogs didn't care for this product, looked and tasted too much like some third world instant gruel. We went back to a good premium brand of food. A little dry kibble along with some ground beef, chicken. Our pets deserve the best nutrition care.

It says on Honest Kitchen's website that nothing needs to be added (except for meat if you're using preference of course).

Probably best to ask folks at The Honest Kitchen this question about Preference. At most meals, my dogs get meat that's ground with 10% bone.

I have been giving a hypoallergenic multivitamin in the food every day and so far my shepherd has been doing great. Once every other day a give her a smallamount of plain yogurt and she loves this. I have not been giving ground meat/bone, I do give her the cooked liver from the chicken. Hope this helps

We don't supplement w/ bone meal. We give our dogs raw meaty bones to fulfill their calcium needs as well as a variety of other raw meats, green tripe etc. The label says to add your own meat. Maybe check w/ THK.

I mixed pork fat with my deer meat and it ground it. Like i said for the money it did the small amount of meat i had. I'm used to a butcher shop grade grinder

I'm adding just chicken breast that I grind. My dog has pancreatitis and has to have ground/pureed low fat meat with digestive enzymes added.

I have had issues with this mix, the 29 grams comes out at 800, its suppose to come out at 1500. tomatos did not do well. e-mailed them 5 times and no answers. if you are using this for seedlings you will be ok. do your self a favor and buy the master mix and the Calcium Nitrrate, Magnesium sulfate and mix it yourself. if you mix the master blend first in a 5 gallon bucket then your epsom salt, and finally your calcium nitrate in that order your nutrients will not fall out of solution (they cannot bond properly) and this is why people see the white stiff on the bottom of the bucket. you can go to https://www.morgancountyseeds.com/store/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=487 and get every thing plus shipping for under 40 dollars. also and this is importation buy either a ph meter or a ph liquid pool kit on amazon. you need to be beween 6.2 and 6.5.

Chicken/Bones and Rabbit/Bones, but "NO" Turkey Bones as they are too hard and too big. Regards, Jim The Mercantile Station

I added lava rock to mine. It gives the meat the taste of being cooked in a pit. I don't think adding water would help, but you can always give it a try.

With Honest Kitchen Force, I only use it (Force) and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (dry) for the dog, with dehydrated chicken jerky I make myself. For the cat, I give him the meat raw. I intend to start introducing ground chicken wings (including bones) and thighs, but haven't yet.

My dog is now 5 but I have been using this base mix with raw meat. As a puppy I transitioned him by first boiling the meat for a few minutes, after a week I transitioned him to half boiled and half raw. After that I moved him to full raw. I think I may have done it all over a six week period and he was fine. I hope that helps!

I take this because I take 5000 IU's of Vit D3 per day and in order for the calcium in your blood to actually go into your bones, you need 100 mcg of MK7 K2 per 1000 IU's of D3. This is critical for men because calcium floating around in the arteries is really not a good thing... This element is essential for preventing osteoporosis so don't leave it out!

I don't have this but I went to Nature Made's website. It contains 100 micrograms of vitamin K (K2 - mk7) and some fillers. No calcium.

I don't use Mine at all since I had it tested and it contained large amount of calcium, which my husband's arthritis can not stand.

How "fine" is fine? Good question. My first grind with the coarser plate is less "fine" than I normally purchase at an local supermarket chain store and the second grind with finer plate is more "fine" than what I normally purchased. That being said realize I have now ground the meat (usually chicken) twice. I hope that helps. I am not trying to be cryptic.

I think they changed it all now to 1:1 ratio. They determined it was better to have the ratio that way instead of so much calcium. Go to www.vites.com - they are the company that makes this brand.

Ensure Plus contains Calcium Caseinate. I don't see that in the normal Ensure.

Good question. I have never done it. It could be done but you would probably have problems with a good seasonings mix in the ground meat. The stuffing tube will definitely fit with the grinding plate and the meat would be able to fill the casing. Marinated meat might be worth trying. Dang, I see the needless murder of another wild pig in my future!

I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula. It probably does work and I'm sure it had calcium in it because they were much harder to break in half for out 15 LB doxies. (They get 1/2 a tab with each meal -2 times a day). The one question to ask maybe would be: ..What type of calcium is it? My Dr has told "me" to get calcium "citrate" as it is easier to absorb. Ask your Vet and check the ingredients. I will say we LIKE Pet Tabs and the were originally recommended by our Vet. Buying them on Amazon is a cost effective way to get them. Especially true if you are a Prime member!

Seems like 800 units of vitamin D are recommended. This would push it to 1600 if you try to get 1200 units of calcium as recommended. Is this safe for a person in sunny climate with good diet?
