What are Satin Balls?
Satin Balls – The Original Recipe The following recipe was sent to Wellpet by Diana Carreon, R.N.,C. It quickly became one of the most requested posts on Wellpet. Ingredients 10 pounds hamburger meat [the cheapest kind] 1 lg. box of Total cereal 1 lg. box oatmeal 1 jar of wheat germ 1 1/4 cup veg oil 1 1/4 cup of unsulfured molasses 10 raw eggs AND shells 10 envelopes of unflavored gelatin pinch of salt Mix all ingredients together, much like you would a meatloaf. Divide into 10 quart freezer bags and freeze. Thaw as needed and feed raw! Satin Balls are food you can give to dogs that are skinny and need to gain weight. I have made them and given them to Rufus but its not helping him! http://www.njboxers.com/satin-balls-recipe.
Satin balls are not treats. They are a recipe that was developed to assist with putting weight on dogs. They were not developed as part of the BARF diet, but independently from it and are used by people who feed kibble as equally as those who feed home cooked or raw natural diets. The fact that they can be served either raw or cooked is the main factor that makes them ‘acceptable’ for all these. When it comes to the BARF diet though, there are some aspects about them that you may not like (the cereal for one).
