I am already fully aware of the benefits of raw feeding, as I have been feeding raw for 17 yrs. But I just want to say, I really appreciate that you said if someone can just do a portion of raw or fresh food, props to them! That is so nice to hear on a video, because it is so true! I work with dogs professionally for a living and I have seen a difference in client's pets that have just gotten a little raw added in!
I’m so confused about all these different dry foods and which ones are good which ones are bad.. it just seems like a bunch of nonsense. So I started making homemade food from scratch in my pressure cooker. The one thing I am hoping you can give me advice on is what is the best vitamins to put in their homemade food so they get all the things that they need.
First of all, I’d like to say THANK YOU for helping pet owners around the world by making these videos. You’re amazing. I would love if you made content in the future a) reviewing common raw food brands and b)going over raw food watch outs/pitfalls to watch out for when choosing a food. As you’ve said “raw dog food” has now become a buzz word, which I’m sure means both good and bad-intentioned brands are all trying to buy in
I feed my two dogs raw food since they are only 3 months. I bought the premade raw food from commercial raw food company which combines muscle meats, organs, crushed bones, tripe, salmon and crushed salmon bone. They have variety of meat to choose, such as chicken, turkey, lamb, veal, possum, rabbit, duck, goat, wallaby, venison. I also add some puree vege , blueberries and raw organic eggs to their raw, I add some supplements to their raw, such as salmon oil, flaxseed oil, coconut oil, kelp, green lipped mussel power, bone broth, raw goat milk and goat milk kefir to keep balanced. They are super super healthy!
Hi, you are helping me research what to feed and how. I was so BLESSED to have had a pet meat processing plant near me in Florida that mixed raw beef/chicken, with vitamins, some veggies, etc. They would then freeze in tubes of 2 pounds each. And provide it in stores for purchase, in a freezer. NOTE: the plant had been a human grade processing plant and that was a bonus. My Pet Store owner REALLY involved himself in nutrition and animal care. He advocated and sold goat milk for years, so I trusted the products. NOW I live elsewhere and have not found similar products or companies. SO, you're help is essential and I will look at your raw diet info. AND def get goat milk. You are so good for pets, you make a difference.
This was a good video! I stumbeled upon your channel randomly, i'll make sure to check more of your videos in the futur! For what is worth, i had problems with my siamese cat on comercial food. He would have diarrhea almost every day. We went to the vet and he found nothing wrong with him. I tried raw. Diarrhea went away in 1 week. It has been 1 year now since his last diarrhea and i could not be happier!
I would love an elaboration on the "how do I feed my pet raw" segment, if you do make a part 2! :) For example, what brands do you suggest? Are there other raw toppers you recommend? My silky terrier currently eats kibble that I top with dehydrated raw nuggets (that I rehydrate with bone broth) and goat milk, but I'm definitely interested in switching the kibble out for a raw option, like the Primal sccop & serve formulas.
I cook my dog a meaty mix with carrots, pumpkin, broccoli, fish, oats, chicken, beef liver, beef, pork, chicken heart etc. blend them together then add in a little peanut butter as well as some egg. When feeding, add in a bit of dog food for her to chew on. My dog loves it.
places like Ollie, Nom Nom, and The Farmer's Dog are actually fully cooked food! There are lots of raw food companies too, but I think the most popular ones are usually cooked :)
My cat is on Viva Raw and has been since he was 7 mos. old. He is now 14 mos. old. His teeth are bright, clean, and beautiful. His coat is shinier than most cats I see in my neighborhood.
The most affordable raw chicken I've found is the 10 lb bags of chicken leg quarters from Walmart. The price per pound runs between $.59 and $.67. I take most of the skin off and use the rest.
heya, I just found ur channel and ur amazing. I work at a pet store and all the info u have given is amazing. I was wondering if u could do more videos abt raw diets and different things u could add to their food so they get more variety.
I am 20yrs old and am a first time dog mom. My 2 pups are 10 week old litter mates and they are pit bull mixes. I know absolutely nothing and am doing my best to learn as quickly as possible. I want them to eat raw as much as possible with no crappy or filler ingredients. I would love to make their food instead of buying pre packaged but don’t want to mess up!
I really want to start feeding raw or at least partially feeding raw but want to do it right and not break the bank. Can you do a video on things that can be added to their kibble? And would it be better to feed wet food and add a few raw things to that? And what raw companies do you suggest? I love my dog and just want him to be the happiest and healthiest possible!
I highly recommend looking into “The Primal Pack” ! She breaks down what meals should consist of, what to buy, where to buy them and how much you will be expected to spend.
The concern I have with raw feeding...while no different than bringing raw food into my house from the grocery store, I also normally don't proceed to eat my chicken raw and then slobber on the floor, couch, kids, etc. If you don't have kids it seems it would be easier logistics by a long shot!
My parents have two dogs, one of which is a golden retriever who will lick your hands, feet, face, and clothes any chance he gets and they’ve been feeding exclusively raw for seven years now. My dad has gotten food poisoning from oysters several times but never from the dogs’ food! I adopted my first dog 8 months ago and started feeding her raw 6 months ago. No illness over here either, even though she loves to lick my face and has managed a few sneak attacks after a recent meal 🤪
Do you have a video on why you don't like vet foods? I would love to see an in depth comparison, pros and cons, opinion, etc. I currently work in the vet field and am feeling a bit hesitant with the recommendations I've been getting 😖
Hi there skylar! My 11 month old mini golden doodle is a picky eater! I’ve been adding raw nuggets to his meals for quite some time to get him to eat his food! I’m happy to hear about goats milk! And the best foods! I also buy fresh food from the refrigerator section bc he seems to like it better than kibble too. It does get kind of pricey.., so I’m glad I’ve found your channel!
I’m 17 and living pretty much on my own with my 5 pound yorkie and I’m tired of seeing him eat kibble. I know it’s bad for him so I’m doing research to feed him a more healthy balanced diet..
My 1 year old German Shepherd has EPI. I started feeding raw. He is looking and feeling so much better. Of course he always has to have Pancreas enzymes added to every meal
I feed both my dogs primal pronto. My 1 year old had parvo when we got him. So he spent 6 days hospitalized. He suffered from leaky gut after. I use a holistic vet and we used supplements to fix it. He still has a delicate stomach. If someone tries to sneak him a milk bone I find out in about 15 min because he throws up. I have incorporated answers fermented fish stock in their diet as well. It is expensive but I’d rather pay for good nutrient food then vet bills later because they are sick.
Love ALL your educational and entertaining videos !! I'm very interested in learning about creating complete and balanced raw feedins... I know you mentioned in video to email you for tips and suggestions but I cannot find your email below...
Ever since my cat was 3 month old we noticed how excited she would get when my mom would take out the raw meat from the grocery bags or even the freezer. One time i even caught her ripping it open to get the meat. Ever since I noticed she was interested in raw food, I’ve been doing research but I still haven’t fully committed yet as I’m still educating myself but I hope to commit soon.
There is no such thing as "all raw or no raw". You can always start with a little bit of a commercial raw food like Primal in addition to what you are already feeding!
Can you do a demonstration of the raw food you are talking about and where to buy it ? How much to feed a boxer 50+ lbs. do I feed him twice or once a day? Do we change the meal every other day?
Smaller local pet stores usually carry a bunch of raw food. Although if you have a Pet Supplies Plus near you they have some commercial (pre made) raw as well. My dog is about 55 lbs and he gets fed between 1-1.5lbs of his pre made raw depending on how active he is that day. If you don’t have any pet stores near you that carry raw food there are some great companies that you can get it shipped to you monthly. If you want to do a DIY raw where you buy all the ingredients and put it all together I’d definitely get in contact with a canine nutritionist.
Hope you're still active with this channel. I've seen people adding vegetables to their pet's raw food. Is that necessary, seeing as how you stated, in their natural state they would just be eating the meat of a prey.
my puppy is extremely, and i mean extremelyyyy picky concerning food and we are really struggling with making sure he gets all the nutrients he needs. If anything, he somewhat enjoys cooked meat, but my family don't know enough about dog nutrition to feel comfortable feeding him completely with self made food. I know there's BARF calculators, but my dog doesn't eat half of the stuff mentioned there and i coudln't find any information if it's doable to do a BARF inspired diet so to speak with more cooked food. I'd love a video talking about tips on how to deal with picky dogs or maybe you could give some tips or even just recommend osme sources(i dont mind researching myself, just cant find good information). I just found your channel and greatly enjoy the content you post!
Hi, do you think that a dog can be super healthy, even if it doesn't eat any fruits or veggies? Let's say, it eats only whole grains and a variety of meats (70% muscles, 10% organs, 10% bones)
can you do a video comparing the commercial raw brands for cats? namely naturawls, big country raw, etc as these are some of the ones available in Canada
I have a doodle and he is quite large so buying premade raw food can get to be expensive. I was wondering if you have any recipes/DIY raw food? Thanks for your videos! 🤍
Hello. Thank you for your videos. I fell into this rabbit hole of different foods to feed your dogs and my grandmother was saying Dr.Martys dog food is wonderful. I mean, I hear super good things,but it is so expensive!! I'm curious to hear your professional opinion. Is it worth the money? Is it truly as good as they say? Thank you for your time
Bone is dangerous when it is dry and brittle. Raw bones are much safer because the high moisture content helps to prevent splintering. In raw diets though, the bone is more often than not ground into a powder or a small, easy to process portion
2:57 pet specific raw meat, is also 5 times the price, as human raw meat. I am looking for the answer, FOR ALL BUDGETS! I have found, cooking for your pets, can actually be CHEAPER, then some top notch brands. Just need some insight, on nutrition for cooked fresh meats.
People will forget that animals will forged for food wild or domestic and eat along with drink from places that people could not. Feed your pets healthy foods and you would be amazed how much better they would be like us if we had nothing but healthy foods.. If you wouldn't feed nothing but junk food to yourself or your children then don't feed it to your dog or pets and be the better person. Great video.
Thank you so much! I hated the groups that are so uppity and refuse to help and just say "Go on wet/raw. Kibble very bad. No toppers will help kibble food." What type of topper can we add cat food and to dog food? We have 1 6m puppy and cats between 11 months - 1y7m
Thanks for the video. In light of the research linking processed foods to health problems, including Alzheimer's in humans, should kibble be avoided? I've been using Open Farm, but am now wondering if there's such a thing as healthy kibble.
I've been feeling my 2 year old male Lab the following I cup kibble Cut up and slightly boiled beef Diced carrots Diced sweet potato And a few blueberries. Then I mix it all together with the water from the boiled meat. Does that sound OK or nah? The kibble is blue buffalo
Also I was always under the impression that you shouldn't feed kibble in the same feeding as raw food. So when we first started our puppy on raw food he had kibble for breakfast and raw food for dinner although we do occasionally add an egg Raw two kibble. Are you of the same opinion that raw should be said in a different setting or at a different Meal Time if you're feeding kibble. I was always told the dogs do not process kibble the same as they process raw food and so it was harder for them to digest the both of them at the same time. I also noticed a dramatic difference in the amount of water that are dog needed to drink when we were feeding Raw versus when we are feeding kibble. It really is a huge difference you're talking one bowl or less of water a day versus three bowls of water a day
have you done a review of farmer’s dog? i would really like to hear one if possible. we feed my dog it (because she’s super picky and won’t eat kibble) and so far she’s been good, but i was wondering about your take on it.
Is raw pork really safe? When I studied agriculture in college we learned pork should be NEVER raw due to the worms and zoonotic diseases between humans and swine in general. I just have a hard time understanding why there is raw pork for dogs.
This topic is still debated in the raw feeding community. Ultimately, it comes down to your dog's needs. I personally have fed raw with kibble and had no issues.
I would love to give my dog a better diet. The problem is my dog is a family dog and I’m the only one who seems to be passionate about this. I don’t have the finances to give him the full raw diet but can you do a video on how to safety add better ingredients in my dogs food?
Love your content!! I did have a question about where you got your nutrition certificate from, Im currently taking a course but I want to take more if I can, Im really into pet nutrition and just want to expand my knowledge ... Thank you!
I became a "trained nutritionist" working alongside a mentor for 2 years, and then went through a course designed by Dr. Maragret Smart and Dana Scott through Dog's Naturally.
@@TheTattooedDogTrainer That's awesome thanks for the info, I find shadowing and training alongside others is the best way to learn and being exposed to all kinds of scenarios for sure.
I adored running across small batch pets at my go to pet shop and when wanting to switch my dog to raw as she gets older but sadly completely backfired sending her to the er after 3 weeks. Her system just could not handle or process it. Made this switch with the newton of intention and to keep her in continued perfect heslth and out of the vers office as she has never had s single issue or sensitivity so really was shocked this trial ended so poorly and not only cost me a very expensive upgrade from her already high priced quality dry food but a huge vet bill on top of it and my poor baby going through days of food poisonkng type symptoms. Fresh cooled subsceoptions are ofcourse the most expensive which is why raw which isnt cheap just seemed like a great value among more nutrition and benefits than the cooked fresh. For now going back to my lesser of all evils more quality dry food until fresh cooked is more in my budget.
@@1VanesaHernandez She had extreme dehydration and the effects as if she had food poisoning, stomach bug, parasite etc. Its really crazy because she showed no symptoms the entire month she was eating raw side from just not being super excited about it and not eating her full portion daily. I had not worried much duri g thay tome as endless blogs online of dog owners having this same scenario when transitioning to raw per some dogs just hating change and she would always be begging for human food and her treats as normal. It really wasnt until the point she started vomiting and bloody liquid stools for a few days that didnt ease at all even when stopping feeding those days and giving stomach soothing things like goats milk and pumpkin puree thinking that would get her stomach right. Glad I went to the vet at that point even though she was still acting no differently. She was given an instant fluid drip to rehydrate her at an extra cost of course no surprise compared to them just sending me home with pills only and a shot. Very said he isnt totally against raw but doesnt believe personally all the hype of raw as may work for many but he only sees pets on the extreme end when they react badly and end up there like in my case. Said some dogs regardless breed or size just have systems that cannot process this raw which is why the data my girl was vomiting it was initially the last weeks worth of patties she ate like they were just sitting unprocessed in her system. And ofcourse since I couldnt force her to drink nearly enough water needed those last days same as trying to get a child to understand it's for their benefit led to that insane dehydration state. After a week of being on a simple chicken and rice soft food and some pills she was back to normal and practically doing back flips going back to a dehydrated cluster kibble. I felt horrible as I only had her best interest at heart thinking it was such an upgrade for health to go to raw no matter how pricey and only ended up giving her a month of trauma. I refuse to do the even more overpriced and gauged lightly cooked mail order subscriptions because they are absurdly priced even for a smaller 15lb dog like mine and are up charging for the convenience of a monthly shipment and prepackaged portions. I have friends who spend a small mortgage payment for multiple large dogs for these subscriptions and they equally practically need a second freezer for the space it takes up as well lol!
I would love if you would actually do a video on making your own raw food or balanced cooked food. I have been feeding my 120 pound lab the OC raw turkey but it’s just too expensive $100 box only lasts him NINE days.🤦♀️ I absolutely love my dog but I can’t afford the additional car payment… lol I mean food. 😉
What raw dog food would you recommend? I’m currently using Viva Raw pure mixed with Carna 4 nugget… I’m hoping to transition to a complete raw delivery service.. I’m interested to see your reviews on those services
How much muscle meat and organ meat should you be adding if it's just a topper and not the whole meal? Is 2oz of chicken breast or 1 oz of beef liver for a 40ish lb Aussie appropriate?
4:18 by medical, and scientific definition, dogs are in fact, omnivores. 100% fact. Being an omnivore, simply means, your digestive tract, is capable of breaking down plant, and protein enzymes.
I get it - dogs are carnivores. But, I notice my dogs are a lot more interested in vegetable matter than my cats ever were. Cats do not recognise any vegetables as edible, and a dog will happily wolf down cooked squash or sweet potato. I observe dogs in the wild so to speak, and notice that when left to their own devices, they munch on fresh grass from time to time, as well. So, when I feed a mostly raw diet, I mix in some cooked vegetable matter (never more than 10% by volume or calories) and my 105 pound Labrador lived to be 16 years old. So, I think adding some veg worked out for him, at least. That's what I mean when I claim that dogs are "more omnivorous than cats." Can't speak for anyone else.
I read a couple articles about not feeding your dog both kibble and raw because it will confuse their stomachs...can you elaborate on that? Also, would i be able to do a couple of days out of the week raw and the rest kibble? Thank you for the informative videos ❤️
I asked Roxanne Stone (founder of Answers Raw Pet Food) this and she says that this is outdated information and feeding raw and kibble together makes it easier to digest the kibble. For consistency sake I would recommend sprinkling raw into all your meals throughout the week as opposed to "raw days" and "kibble days".
Hello! I'm planning on integrating raw food to my cat's diet with the intention of transitioning fully to a raw-based diet, but coming across a couple stumbling blocks. For one, one of my cats has sensitivities to poultry, and a lot of raw-based diets seem to integrate chicken in some way or another - such as giving them chicken feet to crunch on, adding eggs to their meals, and that sort of thing, in order to make it a complete diet. Also, one of my cats was malnourished as a kitten (he's a rescue!) and because of that he doesn't have a lot of teeth so his food has to be pretty soft. Do you have any advice, or would you at some point make a video touching on raw-food diets for cats (or dogs!) that have special dietary concerns? I know it's a lot to go over, like animals with diabetes, weight loss diets, kidney or urinary health, etc., so completely understandable if you don't want to make a video, lol.
I am already fully aware of the benefits of raw feeding, as I have been feeding raw for 17 yrs. But I just want to say, I really appreciate that you said if someone can just do a portion of raw or fresh food, props to them! That is so nice to hear on a video, because it is so true!
I work with dogs professionally for a living and I have seen a difference in client's pets that have just gotten a little raw added in!
Can you do a more in-depth video on different things to add to dog kibble/dog food toppers to make the kibble more enticing and healthy?
Absolutely! I'll add it to my list
Some moisture and bacteria. Perhaps an occasional meat slice.
I’m so confused about all these different dry foods and which ones are good which ones are bad.. it just seems like a bunch of nonsense.

We recently switched our 11.5 year old golden onto a raw diet and we are getting a new puppy in a few weeks who is already on a raw diet
.
Would you be able to do a video on lightly cooked foods like freshpet? I'm super curious about food like that compare to raw!
Yes! And compare with Open Farm Pet gently cooked version
The most affordable raw chicken I've found is the 10 lb bags of chicken leg quarters from Walmart. The price per pound runs between $.59 and $.67. I take most of the skin off and use the rest.

I'd love a video talking about tips on how to deal with picky dogs or maybe you could give some tips or even just recommend osme sources(i dont mind researching myself, just cant find good information). I just found your channel and greatly enjoy the content you post!
Hi, do you think that a dog can be super healthy, even if it doesn't eat any fruits or veggies? Let's say, it eats only whole grains and a variety of meats (70% muscles, 10% organs, 10% bones)
can you do a video comparing the commercial raw brands for cats? namely naturawls, big country raw, etc as these are some of the ones available in Canada
Really great videos!
Can I feed my dog tuna made for humans? The ones that come in the cans.
I have a doodle and he is quite large so buying premade raw food can get to be expensive. I was wondering if you have any recipes/DIY raw food? Thanks for your videos! 🤍
Love raw feeding! My senior rescue Lhaaa Apso has been raw fees for years!
I have my cat on Viva Raw meat, organ and bone. If you use Viva Raw, you MUST add Alnutrin for meat and bone, or it won't be balanced.
Hello. Thank you for your videos. I fell into this rabbit hole of different foods to feed your dogs and my grandmother was saying Dr.Martys dog food is wonderful. I mean, I hear super good things,but it is so expensive!! I'm curious to hear your professional opinion. Is it worth the money? Is it truly as good as they say? Thank you for your time
Yay so glad you made this! Should people be concerned about bone shards in the food hurting the inside of the dogs body?
Bone is dangerous when it is dry and brittle. Raw bones are much safer because the high moisture content helps to prevent splintering. In raw diets though, the bone is more often than not ground into a powder or a small, easy to process portion
Wow I didn’t know that raw dog food was that regulated in that case I have to reconsider
Can you do a video explaining in-depth some of the AAFCO labelling rules?
Glad I've found your channel!
Do you have a video comparing canned dog foods? I've heard you say that canned is better than kibble. Thank you!
Not yet! It is on my list to do though!
You should do a collab with all about cats since you each have your areas of expertise
Definitely dog CZcamsrs too 🤣 there may be a little too much overlap there tho
Do you have a starting place for the quantity to feed based on ideal weight and age
2:57 pet specific raw meat, is also 5 times the price, as human raw meat. I am looking for the answer, FOR ALL BUDGETS! I have found, cooking for your pets, can actually be CHEAPER, then some top notch brands. Just need some insight, on nutrition for cooked fresh meats.
Hi love all the information. I was wondering, what are good raw food to buy in my local store? Thanks for all the information.
People will forget that animals will forged for food wild or domestic and eat along with drink from places that people could not. Feed your pets healthy foods and you would be amazed how much better they would be like us if we had nothing but healthy foods.. If you wouldn't feed nothing but junk food to yourself or your children then don't feed it to your dog or pets and be the better person. Great video.
Thank you so much! I hated the groups that are so uppity and refuse to help and just say "Go on wet/raw. Kibble very bad. No toppers will help kibble food."
What type of topper can we add cat food and to dog food? We have 1 6m puppy and cats between 11 months - 1y7m
Thanks for the video. In light of the research linking processed foods to health problems, including Alzheimer's in humans, should kibble be avoided? I've been using Open Farm, but am now wondering if there's such a thing as healthy kibble.
Would love to see you do a deep dive on BJ's raw pet food especially their premium mix
Can you do a review on fetching foods they make dog/cat raw food?
I've been feeling my 2 year old male Lab the following
I cup kibble
Cut up and slightly boiled beef
Diced carrots
Diced sweet potato
And a few blueberries. Then I mix it all together with the water from the boiled meat. Does that sound OK or nah? The kibble is blue buffalo
Also I was always under the impression that you shouldn't feed kibble in the same feeding as raw food. So when we first started our puppy on raw food he had kibble for breakfast and raw food for dinner although we do occasionally add an egg Raw two kibble. Are you of the same opinion that raw should be said in a different setting or at a different Meal Time if you're feeding kibble. I was always told the dogs do not process kibble the same as they process raw food and so it was harder for them to digest the both of them at the same time. I also noticed a dramatic difference in the amount of water that are dog needed to drink when we were feeding Raw versus when we are feeding kibble. It really is a huge difference you're talking one bowl or less of water a day versus three bowls of water a day
I was told diabetic dogs should not eat raw diets. What are your thoughts on that?
have you done a review of farmer’s dog? i would really like to hear one if possible. we feed my dog it (because she’s super picky and won’t eat kibble) and so far she’s been good, but i was wondering about your take on it.
Is raw pork really safe? When I studied agriculture in college we learned pork should be NEVER raw due to the worms and zoonotic diseases between humans and swine in general. I just have a hard time understanding why there is raw pork for dogs.
What are your feelings about fresh pet dog foods.
Any good recommendations on kibble close to raw that's affordable?
What's your opinion of Northwest Naturals?
I’ve read that feeding raw and kibble together is not good because they digest differently raw digest much faster than kibble
This topic is still debated in the raw feeding community. Ultimately, it comes down to your dog's needs. I personally have fed raw with kibble and had no issues.
I would love to give my dog a better diet. The problem is my dog is a family dog and I’m the only one who seems to be passionate about this. I don’t have the finances to give him the full raw diet but can you do a video on how to safety add better ingredients in my dogs food?
I just posted a video all about toppers!
Where and what is the best place to get raw food for my dog. And what is the best way to start.
What do you think about Darwins raw food? I have a cat with kidney disease and wanted to try their kidney diet but I'm hesitant.
Love your content!! I did have a question about where you got your nutrition certificate from, Im currently taking a course but I want to take more if I can, Im really into pet nutrition and just want to expand my knowledge ... Thank you!
I became a "trained nutritionist" working alongside a mentor for 2 years, and then went through a course designed by Dr. Maragret Smart and Dana Scott through Dog's Naturally.
@@TheTattooedDogTrainer That's awesome thanks for the info, I find shadowing and training alongside others is the best way to learn and being exposed to all kinds of scenarios for sure.
I adored running across small batch pets at my go to pet shop and when wanting to switch my dog to raw as she gets older but sadly completely backfired sending her to the er after 3 weeks. Her system just could not handle or process it. Made this switch with the newton of intention and to keep her in continued perfect heslth and out of the vers office as she has never had s single issue or sensitivity so really was shocked this trial ended so poorly and not only cost me a very expensive upgrade from her already high priced quality dry food but a huge vet bill on top of it and my poor baby going through days of food poisonkng type symptoms. Fresh cooled subsceoptions are ofcourse the most expensive which is why raw which isnt cheap just seemed like a great value among more nutrition and benefits than the cooked fresh. For now going back to my lesser of all evils more quality dry food until fresh cooked is more in my budget.
What was your dog diagnosed with?
@@1VanesaHernandez She had extreme dehydration and the effects as if she had food poisoning, stomach bug, parasite etc. Its really crazy because she showed no symptoms the entire month she was eating raw side from just not being super excited about it and not eating her full portion daily. I had not worried much duri g thay tome as endless blogs online of dog owners having this same scenario when transitioning to raw per some dogs just hating change and she would always be begging for human food and her treats as normal. It really wasnt until the point she started vomiting and bloody liquid stools for a few days that didnt ease at all even when stopping feeding those days and giving stomach soothing things like goats milk and pumpkin puree thinking that would get her stomach right. Glad I went to the vet at that point even though she was still acting no differently. She was given an instant fluid drip to rehydrate her at an extra cost of course no surprise compared to them just sending me home with pills only and a shot. Very said he isnt totally against raw but doesnt believe personally all the hype of raw as may work for many but he only sees pets on the extreme end when they react badly and end up there like in my case. Said some dogs regardless breed or size just have systems that cannot process this raw which is why the data my girl was vomiting it was initially the last weeks worth of patties she ate like they were just sitting unprocessed in her system. And ofcourse since I couldnt force her to drink nearly enough water needed those last days same as trying to get a child to understand it's for their benefit led to that insane dehydration state. After a week of being on a simple chicken and rice soft food and some pills she was back to normal and practically doing back flips going back to a dehydrated cluster kibble. I felt horrible as I only had her best interest at heart thinking it was such an upgrade for health to go to raw no matter how pricey and only ended up giving her a month of trauma. I refuse to do the even more overpriced and gauged lightly cooked mail order subscriptions because they are absurdly priced even for a smaller 15lb dog like mine and are up charging for the convenience of a monthly shipment and prepackaged portions. I have friends who spend a small mortgage payment for multiple large dogs for these subscriptions and they equally practically need a second freezer for the space it takes up as well lol!
I would love if you would actually do a video on making your own raw food or balanced cooked food. I have been feeding my 120 pound lab the OC raw turkey but it’s just too expensive $100 box only lasts him NINE days.🤦♀️ I absolutely love my dog but I can’t afford the additional car payment… lol I mean food. 😉
What about raw fowl eggs like quail and duck? The guy I get my dogs' raw goats milk has them
Can you do a video on dogs on a vegan diet?
I might have missed it but can I give raw chicken to a dog? Also Is high fat bad like pork shoulder.
Do you have a video looking at the best brands of cold pressed dry food... ?
What raw dog food would you recommend? I’m currently using Viva Raw pure mixed with Carna 4 nugget… I’m hoping to transition to a complete raw delivery service.. I’m interested to see your reviews on those services
How much muscle meat and organ meat should you be adding if it's just a topper and not the whole meal? Is 2oz of chicken breast or 1 oz of beef liver for a 40ish lb Aussie appropriate?
4:18 by medical, and scientific definition, dogs are in fact, omnivores. 100% fact. Being an omnivore, simply means, your digestive tract, is capable of breaking down plant, and protein enzymes.
Do recommend Pure balance?
Any recommendations on raw food products and where to buy them online ? Thanks
What about whole prey
Any plans to do a video on freeze dried foods?
could you do a review on freshpet dog food?
Can you do a video on making your own raw dog food?
I get it - dogs are carnivores. But, I notice my dogs are a lot more interested in vegetable matter than my cats ever were. Cats do not recognise any vegetables as edible, and a dog will happily wolf down cooked squash or sweet potato. I observe dogs in the wild so to speak, and notice that when left to their own devices, they munch on fresh grass from time to time, as well. So, when I feed a mostly raw diet, I mix in some cooked vegetable matter (never more than 10% by volume or calories) and my 105 pound Labrador lived to be 16 years old. So, I think adding some veg worked out for him, at least. That's what I mean when I claim that dogs are "more omnivorous than cats." Can't speak for anyone else.
I read a couple articles about not feeding your dog both kibble and raw because it will confuse their stomachs...can you elaborate on that? Also, would i be able to do a couple of days out of the week raw and the rest kibble? Thank you for the informative videos ❤️
I asked Roxanne Stone (founder of Answers Raw Pet Food) this and she says that this is outdated information and feeding raw and kibble together makes it easier to digest the kibble. For consistency sake I would recommend sprinkling raw into all your meals throughout the week as opposed to "raw days" and "kibble days".
@@TheTattooedDogTrainer thank you so much!!🤗
Can you talk about Fromm?
How to make primary meat to the raw diet for dogs plz suggest procedure
What are your thoughts on feeding a dog raw fresh meat, vs cooked fresh meat?
The thumbnail on this is AMAZING!!! What did you use to make it?!
I use CanvaPro for all of my thumbnails, video graphics, and social media graphics
@@TheTattooedDogTrainer Oh cool, thank you!!
I have been working on a raw diet for my French bulldog puppy 6 months. I would love to share with you what I'm doing and what I'm missing. Thanks
Hello! I'm planning on integrating raw food to my cat's diet with the intention of transitioning fully to a raw-based diet, but coming across a couple stumbling blocks. For one, one of my cats has sensitivities to poultry, and a lot of raw-based diets seem to integrate chicken in some way or another - such as giving them chicken feet to crunch on, adding eggs to their meals, and that sort of thing, in order to make it a complete diet. Also, one of my cats was malnourished as a kitten (he's a rescue!) and because of that he doesn't have a lot of teeth so his food has to be pretty soft. Do you have any advice, or would you at some point make a video touching on raw-food diets for cats (or dogs!) that have special dietary concerns? I know it's a lot to go over, like animals with diabetes, weight loss diets, kidney or urinary health, etc., so completely understandable if you don't want to make a video, lol.
Is kefir good for my dog
