SATIN BALLS
10 lbs. Hamburger
1 large box of Total cereal (MUST be Total)
1 large box of Oatmeal (uncooked)
10 raw eggs whole
1 jar of wheat germ (15 oz.)
10 packs of Knox unflavored gelatin
1-1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup of mild flavor molasses
pinch of salt
Mix all ingredients together in large (or larger) bowl.
Place in freezer bags, approx 1 lb per bag.
Place in freezer, thaw as needed.
Feed raw. Just pinch off the amount you want to feed and roll into a ball. Place on top of regular food.
This recipe is good for putting weight on a dog. Be careful though, it will put weight on the dog in a matter of a few days. A lot of weight in a matter of a few weeks!
NOTE: Since Satin Balls are fed raw, you do not want to use the satin ball recipes on any dog whose health is already compromised!! There is a very real danger of salmonella with the raw eggs. Disasterous in an animal whose health is already compromised.

BETTY LEWIS' SATIN BALLS
Waccabuc Great Danes
Betty's comments: I don't like the Satin Ball recipe because of the sugar- laden Total Cereal. Here's the fat ball recipe that helped put weight on Druid.
1 lb ground beef
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 jar all natural peanut butter
1 jar (smaller of the sizes) wheat germ
1 doz egg yolks
1 cup or so of flaked oats soaked in heavy cream
Mix up, form balls, freeze, feed as treats or food supplement.

FAT BALLS
1 dozen egg yolks
1 lb jar crunchy peanut butter
1 small container oats
1 jar wheat germ
1 lb hamburger
1 package cream cheese
*Some versions of this recipe say to soak the oats in milk or cream first. Put the stuff in a big bowl and mix w/your hands. Roll into 3" torpedos and put in ziplock bags and freeze until needed. Feed one or two a day
Note: This requires a huge pot for mixing! Makes a two week supply for one dog.

Fatten 'Em Up Quick Meatloaf!!
1 doz. Hard Boiled eggs, chopped
10 lbs of inexpensive hamburger meat
20 oz Jar of Wheat Germ
1 canister of Knox Gelatin, joint complex, (unflavored)
1 lg box of Total breakfast cereal
2 - 1 lb boxes of Quaker oatmeal, (the kind you cook)
1 1/2 cups Canola Oil
12 oz jar of unsulfered Molasses
1/4 tsp salt
1 heaping tsp minced Garlic, (jarred variety or fresh, NOT dried)
Box of 1qt Freezer bags
Just dump all into huge pot and dig in. It takes some effort, and you will be up to your elbows, but you want to mix thoroughly.
Separate into 14 freezer bags, gently squeezing out the air before sealing. Flatten out the bags, (this will allow for a quicker thaw period), and lay flat on a freezer shelf.
Feed one packet each day, 1/2 in morning, half in evening. Breaking up into chunks, or rolling into meatballs. You can place one in the fridge each evening to thaw for the next day.
OR a smaller batch, that you can flavor for variety.

In a second Large Bowl, place all the other ingredients. Start mixing together, hands work best. Add the oatmeal and evaporated milk mixture, and mix again. When thoroughly blended, form into meatball sized treats, layering in a plastic freezer container. Freeze until needed. Remove a few at a time, allow to thaw, and feed as fattening snacks!

Fat Balls
1 lb hamburger
1 package cream cheese
1 dozen egg yolks
1 jar all natural peanut butter
about 1 cup rolled oats soaked in milk
1 jar wheat germ
Mix up, measure out, feed as needed. You'll need to mix it with your
hands. It's hard to mix and messy. I usually make this with more
hamburger
