40% Raw meat
40% Cooked vegetables (if using raw vegetables, they must be mulched to enable absorption)
20% Goats Milk, yoghurt, meaty bones
(NO GRAINS)
Meaty Bones: Must be raw!
Avoid - the large marrow-type bones, as they wear teeth enamel down and chicken wings are too hard to assimilate.
Medium to large dogs (if they are good at chewing bones):
Use lamb shank bones, raw chicken necks, and chicken carcasses. If not so good at chewing bones,
(ie gulping down and not chewing) please avoid lamb shank bones.
Smaller dogs, bull terriers and boxers:
Can feed raw meaty bones (however, omit larger bones such as lamb shanks, knuckles, etc)
Suitable Raw Meats
Diced mutton, roo (Australian meat), a small amount of fish, organic chicken, plenty of raw chicken necks or roo tails. *can now buy human grade gourmet roo at supermarkets, which would be the best roo meat to buy.
(Omit feeding any beef or pork)
Also feed some table scraps, (preferably not minced meat, as B vitamins get destroyed in the process - feeding 'cooked' meat destroys digestive enzymes making proper digestion very difficult)
* Once a month feed organ meat eg. raw liver, as it is highly nutritious.
Throughout the week, feed natural cottage cheese, natural yoghurt (especially if pet has been on chemical antibiotics), goat's milk, cooked egg OR if using raw egg, yolk only.
If your cat or dog eats grass, then add some crushed digestive enzymes to every meal given.
For assistance with older pets or Pancreatitis dogs and cats and other digestive disorders. See Catalogue Range of natural formulas at www.hampl.com.au
Avoid all other fruits, fatty foods and dairy products. If dog suffers from Pancreatitis disorders, give natural yoghurt, goat’s milk or buttermilk (no cow’s milk or processed cheese)
Most common pet allergens food to Avoid
Important for seizure animals to have an allergen-free diet and a chemical drug and stress- free lifestyle. This will make a huge difference in stopping seizures all together)
Beef, carrot (non organic), corn, tuna, fish, fish oils, turkey, pork/ham, cow’s milk, vaccinations, spicy foods, yeast and wheat or any food containing these.
ALL cat and dog commercial rolls/tin foods and biscuits are junk foods that contain sugars, salt, corn and wheat. Example: Brewers yeast, pasta, all dog biscuits.
Other less likely Allergens MAY include:.. peas, beans, rice, nuts, shellfish, chocolate, rolled oats, fruits such as citrus, grapes, pineapple and tomatoes, cabbage, chard, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, spices and carrots (if not organically grown).
Suggested Nutritional Foods
You can give your dog a variety of nutrients through vegetables, by combining several different types when preparing them, although most dogs are happy with one or two types only.
IMPORTANT: Dogs are unable to break down cellulose in the cell wall of vegetables.
So, if feeding a dog vegetables without juicing, pulping or steaming them, your dog is probably not getting the full benefit and unable to use any of the nutrients in them.
Vegetables - Asparagus, beans (string), beets, bok choy, brussel sprouts, carrots (organic ONLY), dandelion greens, fennel, kale, parsley, parsnips, pumpkin, sweet peppers, seaweed, spinach, squash, turnip, yams.
Avoid – potatoes, onions, rice, sultanas, grapes and any citrus foods
Fruits – Apples, blueberries, melons, peaches, plums, avocado – avoid citrus fruits.
Nuts – 2 to 4 brazil nuts (crushed up before adding to daily meals)
Add a brazil nuts to your dog’s diet to help prevent cancer, the leading disease killer of dogs. There is much information written about the critical cancer-fighting difference between the sodium selenite used in most dry dog foods and the selenomethionine found in brazil nuts and other foods.
Weekly foods.
Can give soft cooked eggs (if using raw egg, give yolk only), plain cottage cheese, goat’s milk, natural yoghurt. Can be given several times a week, in between meals or as a morning meal.

The over-consumption of vegetables that are high in oxalates may interfere with calcium absorption, and cruciferous vegetables with thyroid function. To properly prepare vegetables and fruit for your dog to absorb the nutritients, they must be put through a food processor, mulched or very finely grated as a last resort.

Testimonials
“I made your doggie biscuit yesterday and all of my dogs went absolutely crazy for it!
Heck, I am NOT a homemaker and absolutely do not cook or bake for myself, so to go through this effort was simply amazing and it was absolutely worth it to see my babies enjoy it so much!
Thank you from me but most of all from them!”
Thank you, Colleen
“I have two Malamutes, both 12 months old. Over the last 6 months one of my dogs has had an acute allergy, with red skin under his stomach, and was very depressed and didn't want to play at all with the other dog. I have spent a lot of time taking him to vets and then to the University for further tests, to finally be told he is allergic to dust mites. I was told I couldn't cure him but just put him on strong antihistamine, which I was told would not be good for his liver. My mother found Holistic Animal Medicine (HAMPL) in the Yellow Pages and we immediately phoned and made an appointment. The natural healing involved a fasting/liquid diet for the first few days then putting him on a new natural diet (yeast free), along with giving him herbal drops to help cleanse his system and build his immune system up again. I am so grateful for the changes and help we got from Diana. 'Ankh' is so much happier and even feels like playing now. The red rashes and hot spots have completely gone. We are so pleased. No more big bills and no more drugs or skin testing! Not to mention how well 'Ankh' is feeling now!”

Drinking Water and Milk
All domesticated animals should be given FILTERED WATER ONLY (same as what we drink). Tap water has too many chemicals, and these DO affect the animals as a toxin. Goat’s milk is the best natural calcium provider and is better assimilated than cow’s milk, without causing loose stools. Avoid the commercial pet milks.
SOME SPECIAL NEEDS OF PARTICULAR DOG BREEDS
German Shepards, Labradors, Retrievers, Boxers, Bull Terriers, New Foundlands and working and herding dogs: Require a diet that is more acid based. If you have one of these breeds or crossed breeds, then add Amino Acid Complex tablets (crushed) to the morning meal. One indication of a need for this adjustment is a dog that has dark-brown to black discharge in his ears, cystitis or urinary bladder infections, poor pigmentation, hair, coat and skin eruptions and an alkaline reading of his urine.
Testing Urine (pH strips available from the chemist) – optional
If you want to test your dog’s urine, do this first thing in the morning. It should read between 6.2 to 6.5. If it is a number greater than 7 (too alkaline), then definitely add the amino acid complex tablets daily.
We have had great success with the “Meta B” tablets (Metagenics brand), which are available from our on-line store www.hampl.com.au. It is a blend of many supplements, including the whole range of B complex and amino acids all in one.
Dalmatians, West Highland white terriers and some Belington Terriers represent a special challenge.
Since these breed dogs are unable to deal with the NITROGEN WASTE associated with high amounts of animal protein in their diets, they are unable to eliminate some metals from their systems. These are present in tin food, tap water and drugs. These breeds do not tolerate beef products, which have a high nitrogen waste. You need to rotate animal proteins that have a low nitrogen waste such as chicken, fish, yoghurt, cottage cheese, and egg (yolks only).
