Yes i spend more money in his food, but very less in vet bills (not a single problem due of his condition after we found the right diet)This was done with the help of his amezing vet :) no supplements needed

      @Apostolic Cruiser ; there are complete raw foods for dogs. I give my dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier weighing 23 kilos, half a kilo of raw dogfood a day, in 2 meals of 250 grams. I live in the Netherlands and I buy the brands Carnibest ( which is expensive) and Mulders. ( Cheap) ( You can see the difference in meat between the two brands.) I started with giving these raw food because my dog started to scratch himself a lot when he was young , he had red spots in his arm pits and groins, the vet told me he was allergic to food because of the spots being in mirror image of each other. If he was allergic to something he came in contact with it would not be so. He gave me the advice to start with hypo-allergic kibble. But I didn't listen to him and started with raw food which was CHEAPER than that special anti-allergic kibble!!! Six years after and he still has no allergic reactions. (Only when I give him a piece of my sandwich, which I sometimes forget to not to do).

      Yes! I transitioned my pack of three German Shepherds to raw. Wow! I noticed the difference in two weeks; smaller stools, shining coat and teeth, and tons more energy. My oldest Shepherd was a sport dog and developed a bone spurt in his spine. He was gaining weight due to less mobility. Raw leaned him again and give him the energy to join my younger dogs on long walks again. He’s back to his old antics. Feeding raw is how I payback my dog’s loyalty and hard work for me.

    I've been feeding my Labradors a raw diet for years now and they go nuts over carrots, whole ones. They also like liver, heart, tripe and kidney, oh and yes they also enjoy eggs whole! When I am making dinner they come to get whatever veg I am preparing, it's almost like an illicit treat. However I was truly amazed when they came round me to beg for a piece of tangerine that I was eating, and they enjoyed it! So, now any fruit or veg (except onion) is fair game for them. Healthy, happy and shiney.

You could also do something like half kibble half BARF.

    I always give my pup some of the lightly steamed veggies I'm cooking for myself for dinner. She loves asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, sweet potato, spinach and tomato. Giving her real food is why I believe my pup has never had an ear infection, no allergies or skin issues. Everyone raves about how shiny and thick her coat is. I decided early on I wanted her to live as long as possible. I spend so much time every day caring for her, why wouldn't I feed her with the same care and love I give the rest of my family.

It's cheaper and convientent other than freezing it for a couple days before feeding. I never feed my dog veggies, he doesn't like them, but I do give him like a tablespoon amount of a banana every now and then. I find it better to feed full quarters and not ground up meat because they can rub off the tartar on their teeth by chewing on the flesh and bone.

    I've been In raw for good 6 years, my 15 yo loves it she became so much happier with real food than with the kibbles. And so much healthier also, it's amazing when I take her to routine exames and hearing complements about her teeth and her willing to play. I mean she cannot see well or hear well but it's impressive to see what she can do, she can play like a puppy. Real raw food is just the best.

      Samantha Bailey I would love to know how much to feed my husky. I want to try this but I'm nervous I won't get the right ratio so that it balanced

    • @zander3696
      @zander3696 Před 6 lety +3

      a good trick for that is using chicken leg quarters since they are naturally balanced for most dogs just make sure you're getting the cheapest stuff you can since then it comes from the biggest factory farm around and the last thing they want is salmonella going through there so they inoculate them in the egg so there's pretty much a 0% chance of your dog getting salmonella however make sure it's full leg quarters do not use legs and thighs they are different

    • @tailsntrails
      @tailsntrails Před 5 lety +1

      I feed my husky raw and it’s been the best choice for her. She gets a pound a day and it’s usually a raw egg with a chicken quarter. Other times I Mix it up with a variety of lamb turkey or duck with chicken livers and sardines. She loves it. Also Stella and cheweys is a great brand sold in pet store that makes burger patties with the exact right balance of nutrition. I give a burger for 2 or three meals per week.

      See comment by Samantha Bailey above. 2-3% of dogs body weight. 80%grass fed meat 10%offal 10%bone, she explains better. That was my question too!

    • @willek1335
      @willek1335 Před 3 lety

      It depends on your level of activity as well. I started biking with my Rottweiler, so weight is important to prevent hip damage.
      Try a very strict diet for 2 weeks. No random food scraps or extra treats. Stick to the daily rations. Weigh before and after, then adjust for the next 2 weeks. My dog is now at a stable weight class, and she is a lot more energetic compared to the sack of potato she once was. 😁

      @kelly heubel No problems but if you feel like your dog is kind of lethargic try a multi vitamin. I just use duck, chicken and beef. I only feed pork when it's been frozen for at least 3 days because I've seen what pig farms look like.

      I’ve got a Rottie and a GSD that started raw about 4 months ago. Kept getting different elevated enzyme returns on annual blood checks on 4 different supposedly healthy kibbles, and my Rottie was getting chunky without any treats added to her daily food intake. Vet tried to discourage raw but we ran blood 2 months in and no bad blood markers, and better yet the Rottie slimmed right back down with way higher energy levels. Going back for another blood check this week and I’m expecting nothing different.

    My young arctic mix used to sleep until 2-3pm on summer days. We're now on a 50/50 BARF and kibble diet and he's perky and happy at 9pm (I know, he's still a late riser) even on hot days with the AC off! 5 extra hours of happy activity per day is incredible! Happily doubling his waking hours makes me so happy for his heightened quality of life! (I have to note that I'm immunocompromised so there's a ton of hygienic concerns -- but they're absolutely worth it!)

    She gets a lot of fish on her diet, chicken liver & gizards, minced meats, turkey. lamb, beef, but this one will NOT eat a carrot- cooked or not! Peas, yes. Any preparation of cooked potatoes, yes. Carrots, NO. Go figure!
    As always: Love you, Anneka!

On one site I had people going off about how my dinners were unbalanced, but wouldn't elaborate further. They just kept throwing percentages at me and sending me to the page's guidelines. Your video was very straightforward and very informative. So, thanks again, I will definitely be following you from now on... Keep up the great work.

      You need more than just meat. You need around 80% muscle meat, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organ, and 10% bone. It's not too complicated but they can end uo with a deficiency if they don't get a "balanced" diet.

    The Other had more wolf in her,I could tell by the way she cautiously moved around the room and I Never got to let her but also a very beautiful wolfdog lighter with reddish brown and white coloring. Misha(male)& Kiska. I remember we went over to their house once and Misha jumped up in back of my husband and tested his paws on his shoulders and I swear he was like at least 6.5 feet tall standing on hind legs,huge but so beautiful,he just stood for a minute and rubbed his chin on my husband's head to leave his scent like ok next time I know you come I'll know you.I have always loved and respected all animals but especially wolves,I think I'm part because they are always misunderstood.

    One thing you have to remember, any fruit/veg NEEDS to be prepped a specific way for a dog to get any use out of it at all.. if you give straight raw veggies or fruit, it'll just act like a filler & pass right through the dog.. should at least steam them or, what I like to do is partially boil them along with a little apple cider vinegar. That way it REALLY mimics pre/partially digested material and the dog actually gets the nutrients... OR, You could completely skip all fruits and veggies and simply feed tripe ! I only make my mixture if I can't get real tripe

      Blue is the same as Purina or any other big brand. They got sued and lost because they were telling lies about their content of their products. They left ingredients off of the label that are in there. One serving has more carbs than a wolf would likely consume in their entire life.
