You need more information to do this properly than you can get here. You need to decide if you want to cook for your dog, or feed him raw. There are books and websites that can help you decide. There are books and e-mail lists that can help you get started.

If you want to go raw, I like this list: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAW-lite/ . The list owner, Carina MacDonald, has written a book called “Raw Dog Food: Make It Easy For You And Your Dog”… it is a good book for beginners.

this is my favourite recipe site http://www.rawfeddogs.net/Recipes

Honestly there is no need to cook, chop, grind or puree – just make friends with your local butcher!!

Giant breed dogs need to be eating about 2% of their ideal adult weight each day. For a bullmastiff this is between 41 and 59 kg – if you work this out out an average of 50 kg then your dog would need ‘about’ 1kg of food per day (50 x 0.02 = 1) Adjust the amount up or down based on your dog’s appearance and activity levels.

If you aim to feed over the course of a week or two about 2/3 meat and heart and the rest a combination of meaty bones and other organs then your dog will get everything it needs. Luckily being in Australia, roo is easily available, low fat and a great source of omega 3s. I buy roo chunks at petbarn – $20 for 5kg bags. This combined with chicken halves, beef or lamb heart and organs like liver and kidneys is the basis for my animals’ diet.

** millions of dogs the world over live long and healthy lives never eating commercial foods. don’t let anyone tell you that you need a science degree to be able to feed your dog.

The problem with homemade food for a dog (especially of this size) is it’s hard to measure the amount of crude protein, fiber, fat, and other essential ingredients that a dog NEEDS to have on a daily basis. Dog food companies such as iams, science diet, and purina have spent many a dollars to create the perfect balance of nutrients into a dogs/cats food. If you were to feed him nothing but people food on a short term basis, it’s not as bad, but long term it can have some ill effects. So please, just spend a little bit more and get a better brand of dog food, it’s better for you dog!!!!!!!!

Here’s a step by step video on a recipe with info on varying the food as well and how to intro. the food to your dog. This is a very healthy recipe that would be pretty easy to make once you got used to it and you could make a week’s worth at a time and freeze it by portion.
