About This Meal
This raw meal is higher in organ meat and fat, and low in muscle meat. Every meal should be fed as a part of a balanced raw diet of 80% muscle meat, 10% bone and 10% organ. While these percentages can vary from meal to meal as you see here, your dog’s overall diet should stay true to the needed percentages.
Who This Meal is For
This meal is for dogs who need high amounts of fat in their diet. Dogs with fast metabolisms or who are very active need higher fat diets. A diet of 25% (or more) fat is needed for some dogs, while others only need 15-20% fat in their diet.
Feed fat to tolerance. This means that your dog should not show any signs of digestive upset or have loose stools while eating a higher fat diet. Their stools should be firm.
Recommendations
I highly recommend that when you buy eggs you buy the highest quality you can find. These duck eggs are from my personal flock of ducks. My ducks free range, eat bugs and fresh vegetation, lay in the sun, play in their pool and run around all day, every day. This makes for fantastic eggs with firm, dark orange yolks and well-formed egg wites.
The quail eggs are from my personal flock as well. My quail are not caged in commercial style cages like most quail are. Instead, they live in a large space where they can run around, fly and lay in the sun. Their diets include lots of greens and organic feed.
The lives that these birds live result in some of the best eggs you can get your hands on! Look for eggs from birds that live lives like these. With the growing interest in raising backyard flocks, there are more and more people out there with quality eggs for sale!

Notes
This meal is for a 100 lb. dog that eats one meal per day for the purpose of intermittent fasting. Divide portions as needed for different sized dogs and for your dog’s number of daily feedings.
Every dog is different. While these ratios of bone, fat, organ and muscle meat are ideal for my two dogs, you may need to play around with these ratios for your dog. For example, your dog may need less fat or more bone.
