You are my favourite creator when it comes to dog nutrition and health! I’m getting a 14 week old corgi pup this weekend and I’ll be using all the info you taught me to make sure he’s eating everything he needs ❤
URGENT! VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you're like me, you thought, 'Well, my dog is so important to me, I'm going to spend the extra money and by raw salmon instead of canned.' DO NOT DO THIS unless the salmon is frozen for at least 24hrs. The parasites that sometimes hits humans (curable) from undercooked salmon, can be deadly to dogs. Freezing the salmon kills the parasite. Or ... stick to canned.
Just get farmed salmon. Stay away from wild caught unless it's been frozen or you plan on freezing. My local bulk food store sells salmon that's been previously frozen
I literally just fed my dog raw salmon today. A good amount too. I don’t know if it was previously frozen. He’s sleeping next to me right now and he has seemed perfectly fine since eating earlier today but now I’m worried please tell me what I should look out for / pay attention to in my dog I do not want him to get this parasite you’re speaking of
@@TiffBellini I don't think you should worry. It happens in humans once in a blue moon so just pop that salmon in the freezer in the future. As for what to look for, I'm going to copy and paste. These symptoms show up 6-10 days after ingestion and, if they do, get him to the vet ASAP. It's treatable, it's not a death sentence ... unless untreated, of course. If identified in a timely manner, salmon poisoning is treatable. The symptoms are similar to those of a gastrointestinal illness. If your dog has roamed from your sight and exhibits these symptoms because he may have eaten something you are unaware of, or if your pet has ingested raw or undercooked fish, immediate veterinary care is crucial. Typical symptoms are listed below: Vomiting Diarrhea Fever, which will reach limits around 104 Fahrenheit Loss of appetite, which may result in weight loss Swollen lymph nodes Weakness Depression Discharge from the eyes or nose Dehydration
Just saw your video now and here in Germany raw feeding for dogs is so different. For example: we mostly use 80:20, means 80% muscle meat, organs, raw meaty bones etc, and 20% vegetables and fruit. We also calculate the amount of food per day different. We usually calculate with 1,5% - 2,5% of the body weight in kilograms. So for example: a 30kg dog with 2% of its body weight would get 600g of food each day.
@@NapolinoNapolino How long do you cook for? Does that include bone? I’m curious if it’s a happy medium to say boil just the outside to kill pathogens but not enough to cook bones for safe digestion?
@@williammorgan7769 that's not correct. Dogs are carni-omnivores. Our dogs aren't the same animals like wild wolves, but wolves eat the whole animal. Including the guts and stomach and so the food the animal ate before.
I hear people ripping on this recipe. Saying it needs this and it needs that. Calm down people. This is not a recipe to feed your dog for the rest of its life. This is one example of a recipe that you can use on rotation. Variety variety variety. she mentions this. Everybody wants a one size fits all and all recipe. There's no such thing. Take this and use it as part of a varied diet and your dog will be just fine.
In your video of what not to feed your pet ,you mentioned not feeding spinach , in the next video you add spinach to the meal ... which is it , a yes or no to spinach ?😊
I haven't seen the other video, but the benefits of raw spinach isn't very bioavaliable, so it's best to steam it so that it's easier to digest and absorb :)
This is so great! I've been following your advice for a few months, so it's a great relief to see one of your actual recipes. I feel like I've been doing things right.
Thank you sooo much for giving us a recipe! It’s incredibly helpful and love how informative you are! I appreciate all you do for us!! You really truly make homemade raw feeding my dog so easy to understand especially on balancing nutrients in the food!
Frankensteining different parts together! Priceless! Poultry dark meat has much more taurine than white meat or beef. My cats eat a tin of sardines once a week for iodine and Omega 3. I will try mixing in pink salmon. Thank you for this video!
Don't know if you still need it but I wrote it down: For Adult dog 40-45 lbs, 1000cal, 22oz/632 g Muscle meat: 4oz/113g boneless skinless chicken thigh (white meat will be lower in zinc, iron and b vitamins so add:) 5oz/142g 90/10 ground beef Non secreting organ meat (heart): 3.4oz/96g chicken heart RMB: 5.2oz/147g chicken wing w/ skin Secreting organ (Liver): .4oz/11g beef liver (ruminant animal higher in copper than poultry) 2nd Secreting organ: 1.3oz/37g beef kidney To supplement for missing nutrients: 1 oz/28g of canned pink salmon in water (make sure the sodium does not exceed 1oz/28g) 2 oz/28g spinach, cooked or pureed 1 tsp seaweed (sea seasoning triple blend flakes) 1 gel cap of vitamin e-t8 every 2-3 days (kala health brand)
I love your content and you've really inspired me to switch my cats over to raw. Please please PLEASE do this same video but for cats. It would be SO helpful! Thank you so much for all that you do!
Happy to see this video, because this is just like a recipe I put together recently (I happened to only have beef lung as I'm seeing reactions in my dog to beef. Still watching this), and walking through the steps and explanation of nutrients is helpful. I have secreting organs from other animals, but same concept. I do use vitamin e, but am still trying to understand. Can you explain the reason for vitamin e in the diet? Thanks.
Love how you put the recipe together and all the info, i would just leave out the high oxalate Spinach, not sure what to replace it with but not so convinced that pets need plants or their toxins
I appreciate the info. My Boston weighed 18 pounds the last time the vet weighed her, so she may be a few pounds heavier now. My problem is the heart and kidney. I’ve never seen that at the supermarket. And I will need to know where to get that seaweed.
Do you know how much spinach you have to eat for oxalates to become a problem? Pounds of it. Pounds of it in a week or two. No one eats that much spinach.
My ferrett is on a raw diet and he has never been more healthy. I did so much research before switchjng him because his coat wasnt soft or fluffy on kibble and his weight fluctuated so much on kibble. Been about half a year and he is at such a healthy weight and OMGGG his coat is so thick and soft! Hes not as itchy any more and has more energy. Not to mention unlike kiddle he gets excited when i fill his bowl and goes eight to it where as with kibble he just didnt care. Most ferrett kibbles have multiple ingredients they shouldnt have such as plant fibers and grains. Although they say its ok in small ammounts in kibble it still isnt good. Ferretts are STRICTLY carnivore only due to how their digestive tracts work. He is 100% raw meat and ive done a lot of work on making the perfect ratio for him and his preference. Now that i know what he likes its actually easy to prep it all to freeze. So happy my big boy is happy and healthy now! Also for anyone curious i order from raw feeding miami! They have a TON of options and have good sales on stuff too!
thank you for the recipe! ❤ I've started feeding Clover raw (and now I doubt I can feed her kibble anymore; i also mostly blend up or mince her food to prevent her from picking out what she doesn't want to eat), I still have struggles with her eating though since I think she's getting bored of eating chicken wings, and I'm limited on safe raw meaty bones to feed her (I found chicken feet for sale but I'm worried she might not eat them), also trying to buy water canned oysters but no luck (might try and buy fresh ones to cook myself instead)
@@PawsofPrey she's not a puppy (she's 4, going to be 5 this december), but i've always occasionally fed her fresh whole foods over the years, so she took well to the switch
Question! Your cheat sheet shows that the amount of food given for an averagely active dog should be 2.5% of the dogs weight. Based on that, I've been feeding my 40-pound dog (whose weight i wanted to maintain) 1 pound (16oz) per day. But this recipe for a 40-pound dog is 22 oz. Can you explain why?
Great question! So the calories and weight of food don't always match up. I like to tell beginners to pay attention to the weight of food only in the beginning because it's a lot easier to follow for that time being. The formula to figuring out the weight of food your dog needs daily is VERY general, but it's a good start. Once you start getting into the calorie realm, the weight of food starts mattering less. For example, if you're feeding a meal of really fatty cuts, you'll probably reach their daily caloric intake with less food, and if you're feeding super lean meats, you'll need to feed a lot more food to meet those calories! Does that make sense?
I love all the information on your channel! If you have any information on gently cooking this food it would be helpful! I think I would prefer to serve gently cooked food rather than raw.
The only problem with that is, then you need to ad a different source of calcium, because you cant feed cooked bones. Ground eggshells is a good alternative, you should only calculate yourself how much. This is a recipe i use from Dr Judy on youtube. The puploaf recipe. Thanks for requesting the Puploaf Recipe! Over the years I have made many versions of PupLoaf. The latest version was designed to eliminate the need for a lot of costly supplements and allow you to balance the diet with whole foods. Download PDF Ingredients: 3 pounds beef (90% lean) 8 ounces beef heart 5 ounces beef liver 20 ounces chicken gizzards 3 cans sardines in water, minus the juice 6 ounces mussels (3 teaspoons kelp could replace the mussels for trace minerals) 2 teaspoons ground fresh ginger 5 eggs with shell 3 ounces red bell pepper 5 ounces mixed dark leafy greens (kale, chard, spinach) 4 ounces broccoli 6 ounces butternut squash 3 tablespoons flax seed oil 4 ounces cranberries 4 ounces Shiitake mushrooms Instructions: Grind and mix all ingredients together, except the flax seed oil, ad that later when its cooked, otherwise it turns in to transfat. Pour into loaf, casserole, or muffin pans. Bake at 325 for 30 to 60 minutes depending on size of pan; should be lightly done, not overcooked (juicy in the center). If your pet has a beef or chicken allergy, turkey can be substituted. Use within 3-5 days, freeze extra portions. Feed warmed to room temperature.
I just lost my beloved dog of 15 years last week. Up to the time we had to euthanize her, she started to completely reject majority of the food we attempted to give her. This included the plain chicken and carrot broth cubes she loved oh so much. If only I had taken the time to do more research and switched her food, I think she would still be with us today. It was also difficult to find most of these types of ingredients too.
that was helpful. where is the manganese tho?? should we add green tripe or mussels?? +showed me how much I'm complicating things when its actually simpler. . waiting for one for cats too!!
I absolutely suggest adding mussels to this recipe - to make it simple and not overwhelming, I used spinach, but I personally believe its not the greatest source. This is why I say rotate with different recipes!
How come I never hear anyone talking about adding Wheat Germ to their dogs bowl? Always Flax, or Hemp, Chia, kelp. What about Wheat Germ?? I add it to my dogs bowl for Vitamin E and A. It even has protein. I grew up eating it on everything, so I always wondered, why not for dogs?
I have been feeding homemade raw for 12 years to 2 dogs. I have never given them kelp or iodine supplement. I do feed egg yolks regularly and occasional salmon. They are 14 and 15 with no health issues. I am not saying that this is right but I have not seen adverse effects. I now feed duck heads a couple times per week which I assume have some thyroid hormone. I also have never given mine fish oil or vitamin e.
I wholeheartedly agree with your approach. Pasture raised eggs and poultry necks I'm sure provide the proper amount of iodine, but since not everyone can source pasture raised meats, and I don't want owners continuously feeding neck because of potently providing too much of the thyroid hormones, I suggest kelp. Pasture raised and grass fed meat will be so much higher in things like zinc, vitamin D, vitamin E, omega 3s! That's what I strive to feed over adding other things to the diet
@@PawsofPrey This makes sense. It is definitely a balancing act and depends upon the food sources. I have been fearful of too much iodine. I used to feed necks too often and have since tried to be better about rotating RMBs and using things like wings and backs. It is only recently I added duck heads and those I assume would have even more thyroid hormone than necks! Appreciate your videos and sharing your knowledge. One other thing that I believe is most responsible for thyroid issues in dogs is over vaccination and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like flea preventatives and lawn chemicals.
@@mamabear9389 wait i have only been feeding duck necks.... is this an issue i should be worried about? I was always afraid of the other bones like wings and him choking. He is 31 lbs.
@ashley ward They say that necks can have residual thyroid hormone on them so it is sometimes advised to not feed them exclusively. However, I can tell you from personal experience I have fed many necks and never had a problem. Like you I thought they were safer so mainly fed them. One thing you could try for variety is chicken backs. They are a wonky shape and discourage choking. They are becoming my favorite RMB. So you could give those a try. I would not overly worry about the necks but giving a back occasionally could be helpful. RFM has duck frames also but they are too hard for my small dogs.
Hi! I wonder why 12% of raw meaty bones equals 147g of chicken wings? Should 12% of 632g be 75.84g since the raw meaty bones also include the meaty part, or do you mean 12% of just bone? Thank you in advance!
I Fed my pomoranian a chicken wings and she popped the bones in sharp toothpick sizes is that how it's supposed to be or should it all be disolved ,it really scared me!
You may need to give her less than a whole wing. This formula is for dogs 40lbs. I’m sure she’s less so you may need to measure her food according to her weight! And maybe not the bones because not all small dogs are able to digest them. I’m no expert but I am a dog mom of 5+ years! I hope this helps ❤
Shoot me an email if you ever have any issues getting the formulator. Sometimes it gets sent to spam and promotions 😓 I can always send it to you personally
Hello, I do feed a raw diet but wondering if you have your dogs fecal checked more than once a year for either parasites or bacteria I don’t want to ask my vet because he doesn’t believe in a raw diet so that’s why I’m asking some people who actually feed a raw diet. Thank you very much
I just want to be clear because I feed my dog twice a day. This beginner meal is once a day, correct? And some of us are still waiting for an answer regarding spinach. One video states to avoid it, this one promotes it.
What about dogs that have chicken allergy? I have 70lb bully with chicken allergy and 110 cane no allergies lol. Hard to figuire out their right proportions
I loved this stripped down to the basics of the amounts of those specific animal... but using simple algebra or weighted average, could easily convert it. Thanks the vid
OH, I've hit a snag. lol. I am not good at Math. I have a 10 lb small dog. I will work on this, maybe get my math genuis brother in law involved. sigh.
it is so hard for me to get over the bones part despite trusting you. i've given my shepherd med rare, close to rare chicken thigh without the bones but all raw with bone is such a tough hurdle for me
50 years ago our Vet said No bones, except the chicken neck. I don't remember if advised on raw or cooked. The neck being cartilage was the ok. The dog was about 8 pounds, similar to my dog now. Larger bones just seem so inappropriate!! But, we'll see.
I need help, wisdom in feeding a small dog, 12-14 #s. I have been feeding him cooked meets. He is constipated right now. I just gave him kibble w/ coconut oil, turkey and broth to try to help. I would appreciate your input. Our son told us that we need an enzyme supplement to help digest the raw meat. Your recipe seems complicated... so many elements to include. Certainly a dog would not have all those ingredients in a simple carnivore diet unless they are feasting on an entire animal. I am considering that kibble is far from less than ideal for a healthy dog. My husband is not convinced.
I just watched another video of your that said spinach causes anemia in pets. But this video recommends it. Please help me understand. I must be missing something. Thanks.
I'm so sorry for the confusion. Spinach does not cause anemia, but anemia may occur if you RELY on it for iron in the diet (as in, you don't feed much animal-based ingredients for iron, you only rely on plant-based) spinach is still just fine to feed for fiber and small amounts of trace minerals!
I have a question! about how can we deal with bacterias on chicken or contaminated meat! like not the ones they bring with them naturally I mean the ones like industry mistakes. or enviromental contamination ? theres a way to keep safe from them? thank you so much
Love your content! Your channel helped me switch my puppy to raw. Currently still using a premade balanced grind by BJ’s Raw (would love of you can review them!) as a base and adding stuff like necks and wings for more calcium, salmon for omega 3’s, quail eggs, green tripe, kefir and a raw supplement by Earth Animal. Your videos are super well made and informative, please keep posting ❤️
My dog had an upset tummy for 3 days so tonight instead of her usual kibble I prepared a little meal for her consisting of porridge oats with a splash of goats milk, a little bit of spinach, some sardines in sunflower oil (2 Tbps) and just a little bit of kibble as filler to thicken it up, she absolutely wolfed it down and even had the audacity to go over to my other dogs bowl for more kibble. Definitely want to switch them to a raw diet though to maintain their health. I’ll be trying this recipe very soon! What would be handy is if you could add to the description the cost per portion (average) so I and others know how much it will cost to feed their dog this on a daily basis. Thanks!
Was looking forward to it!! It will be very helpful if you could tell me How much ( grams) of food a 5 month old gsd puppy should ideally eat if she is 19kgs and moderately active with no health conditions.
Can I have advice on how to improve my dog’s meals? I’m slowly switching my dog over to raw food. For reference he’s a large, 80lb 2 year old pitbull/boxer mix. So far I have: • Ground beef • Chicken thigh/leg meat • Beef liver • Chicken hearts • Unseasoned and homemade chicken & bone broth • Apple slices OR • Sweet potato • Vitamin E (sometimes) I have chicken feet but he won’t eat them so we’ll use it in our broths. I’m planning on buying some canned sardines and spinach. How can I improve this to make sure he gets everything he needs? Thanks!!
I think the site wants you to go to the site advised for formulation you need for your dog. There is a "calculator" you pay for that helps. I haven't yet, as I have questions. I think this starter recipe is still great, just need to tweek for my dog.
Great video! Im still having trouble calculating for my 35lb dog. Im not sure if im reading it right. 14 oz a day just seems like not enough food for him. He just still seems hungry.
Is he too skinny? Is he too heavy? That's what you go by. Some dogs always seem hungry and they would eat 24 seven if you let them. Put some of the raw food in a Kong or a slow feeder bowl so he hast to work for it, and it takes longer to eat it.
@No Games no, he is not too skinny. His vet said he could lose about 5 lbs. I got him at the vet in 2020, and he was 26lbs... a little to skinny, in my opinion. He loves to beg, so maybe that is why he seems hungry. I just wanted to make sure I was calculating the right way and giving him enough food. It says 14 oz a day. I started a week ago feeding him a brand called viva raw dog food.
Same here! I hoped my 40lb dog was so excited about mealtime now because he loved the raw diet. Now im wondering if hes starving on 16oz per day since the recipe in this video for a 40lb dog is 22oz!! 🤔
@Sittin Pretty Jamberry Nails so I give my 35lb dog 8oz in the morning and 8oz at night. He could lose 2 or 3 lbs, but he is not overweight. He is pretty active. That's probably why my dog is super hungry by dinner time. Yeah, if it's says 22oz, maybe try it and split it between morning and night and see how he does.
Ugh😢 yesterday, my Rhodesian mix ate the chicken back pretty much swallowed it un chewed. Now she has diarrhea and passing liquid diarrhea and passing the vertebrae I’m on the watch for blockage now. I’m giving her yogurt, and pumpkin with bread to help pass. Any other suggestions?? I think I need to grind her bones moving forward bc she eats too fast and hardly chews the bones 😳😞😣
What I’ve been doing with my puppy who loves bones is holding onto one end and making her chew pieces off so she won’t get too big a piece and has to really crunch through it and swallow each piece before I let her take another bite. This would probably work well with stuff like chicken backs, necks, etc where there’s quite a few pieces that they can rip off. It is a bit more work but does become kind of a fun game and helps you bond with your dog too! Now if she ever does get too big of a piece by accident, I can tell her to come and drop it in my hand and she will give it to me so I can help her instead of eating it too quickly or running off with it. Hope this helps and good luck!

There's a lot of trial and error with raw feeding! Puppyhood brings a lot of unique hurdles too. You've got this!
@@PawsofPrey she's not a puppy (she's 4, going to be 5 this december), but i've always occasionally fed her fresh whole foods over the years, so she took well to the switch
@@SparkyKitsune oh sorry, I'm not sure what has me thinking she was a puppy. I'm glad you fed whole foods as she aged, that's pretty helpful
Question! Your cheat sheet shows that the amount of food given for an averagely active dog should be 2.5% of the dogs weight. Based on that, I've been feeding my 40-pound dog (whose weight i wanted to maintain) 1 pound (16oz) per day. But this recipe for a 40-pound dog is 22 oz. Can you explain why?
Great question! So the calories and weight of food don't always match up. I like to tell beginners to pay attention to the weight of food only in the beginning because it's a lot easier to follow for that time being. The formula to figuring out the weight of food your dog needs daily is VERY general, but it's a good start. Once you start getting into the calorie realm, the weight of food starts mattering less. For example, if you're feeding a meal of really fatty cuts, you'll probably reach their daily caloric intake with less food, and if you're feeding super lean meats, you'll need to feed a lot more food to meet those calories! Does that make sense?
@@PawsofPrey it does! Thank you so much for that clarification!
I love all the information on your channel! If you have any information on gently cooking this food it would be helpful! I think I would prefer to serve gently cooked food rather than raw.
The only problem with that is, then you need to ad a different source of calcium, because you cant feed cooked bones.
Ground eggshells is a good alternative, you should only calculate yourself how much.
This is a recipe i use from Dr Judy on youtube.
The puploaf recipe.
Thanks for requesting the Puploaf Recipe!
Over the years I have made many versions of PupLoaf. The latest version was designed to eliminate the need for a lot of costly supplements and allow you to balance the diet with whole foods.

Ingredients:
3 pounds beef (90% lean)
8 ounces beef heart
5 ounces beef liver
20 ounces chicken gizzards
3 cans sardines in water, minus the juice
6 ounces mussels (3 teaspoons kelp could replace the mussels for trace minerals)
2 teaspoons ground fresh ginger
5 eggs with shell
3 ounces red bell pepper
5 ounces mixed dark leafy greens (kale, chard, spinach)
4 ounces broccoli
6 ounces butternut squash
3 tablespoons flax seed oil
4 ounces cranberries
4 ounces Shiitake mushrooms
Instructions:
Grind and mix all ingredients together, except the flax seed oil, ad that later when its cooked, otherwise it turns in to transfat.
Pour into loaf, casserole, or muffin pans.
Bake at 325 for 30 to 60 minutes depending on size of pan; should be lightly done, not overcooked (juicy in the center). If your pet has a beef or chicken allergy, turkey can be substituted.
Use within 3-5 days, freeze extra portions.
Feed warmed to room temperature.
I just lost my beloved dog of 15 years last week. Up to the time we had to euthanize her, she started to completely reject majority of the food we attempted to give her. This included the plain chicken and carrot broth cubes she loved oh so much. If only I had taken the time to do more research and switched her food, I think she would still be with us today. It was also difficult to find most of these types of ingredients too.
that was helpful.
where is the manganese tho?? should we add green tripe or mussels??
+showed me how much I'm complicating things when its actually simpler.
. waiting for one for cats too!!
I absolutely suggest adding mussels to this recipe - to make it simple and not overwhelming, I used spinach, but I personally believe its not the greatest source. This is why I say rotate with different recipes!
Believe or not this diet is amazing for humans too.
How come I never hear anyone talking about adding Wheat Germ to their dogs bowl? Always Flax, or Hemp, Chia, kelp. What about Wheat Germ?? I add it to my dogs bowl for Vitamin E and A. It even has protein. I grew up eating it on everything, so I always wondered, why not for dogs?
THIS IS SO COOL!!!! What a great idea. I would love to see one for a puppy!
I have been feeding homemade raw for 12 years to 2 dogs. I have never given them kelp or iodine supplement. I do feed egg yolks regularly and occasional salmon. They are 14 and 15 with no health issues. I am not saying that this is right but I have not seen adverse effects. I now feed duck heads a couple times per week which I assume have some thyroid hormone. I also have never given mine fish oil or vitamin e.
I wholeheartedly agree with your approach. Pasture raised eggs and poultry necks I'm sure provide the proper amount of iodine, but since not everyone can source pasture raised meats, and I don't want owners continuously feeding neck because of potently providing too much of the thyroid hormones, I suggest kelp. Pasture raised and grass fed meat will be so much higher in things like zinc, vitamin D, vitamin E, omega 3s! That's what I strive to feed over adding other things to the diet
@@PawsofPrey This makes sense. It is definitely a balancing act and depends upon the food sources. I have been fearful of too much iodine. I used to feed necks too often and have since tried to be better about rotating RMBs and using things like wings and backs. It is only recently I added duck heads and those I assume would have even more thyroid hormone than necks! Appreciate your videos and sharing your knowledge. One other thing that I believe is most responsible for thyroid issues in dogs is over vaccination and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like flea preventatives and lawn chemicals.
@@mamabear9389and I appreciate your input! I love hearing what raw feeders who have been feeding 10+ years do/have done. It's very insightful
@@mamabear9389 wait i have only been feeding duck necks.... is this an issue i should be worried about? I was always afraid of the other bones like wings and him choking. He is 31 lbs.
@ashley ward They say that necks can have residual thyroid hormone on them so it is sometimes advised to not feed them exclusively. However, I can tell you from personal experience I have fed many necks and never had a problem. Like you I thought they were safer so mainly fed them. One thing you could try for variety is chicken backs. They are a wonky shape and discourage choking. They are becoming my favorite RMB. So you could give those a try. I would not overly worry about the necks but giving a back occasionally could be helpful. RFM has duck frames also but they are too hard for my small dogs.
Do you use a meat grinder to ground everything up except the vegetables?
Yes, that would be ideal, especially when you wanna mix the vitamins in there.
She gives her own dog raw Whole. She doesn't grind
Wait is this per day? Or per meal?
Is this fed twice a day
Im kinda confused for this meal, is this a one whole meal for the whole day or is this 1 of 2 meals?
She doesn't answer any of our questions. Annoying
How do i find out the crude protein?
Hi! I wonder why 12% of raw meaty bones equals 147g of chicken wings? Should 12% of 632g be 75.84g since the raw meaty bones also include the meaty part, or do you mean 12% of just bone? Thank you in advance!
I Fed my pomoranian a chicken wings and she popped the bones in sharp toothpick sizes is that how it's supposed to be or should it all be disolved ,it really scared me!
Please advise
You may need to give her less than a whole wing. This formula is for dogs 40lbs. I’m sure she’s less so you may need to measure her food according to her weight! And maybe not the bones because not all small dogs are able to digest them. I’m no expert but I am a dog mom of 5+ years! I hope this helps ❤
@@Ceobri thank you 🙏
Is this just one meal, intended for twice a day, or is this the full nutrition for the day?
This provides the full day's worth of calories and nutrients. It can be split up however you'd like within a 24 hour period!
What do you give if your dog wont eat fish
I'm having a struggle where 2 out of my 3 dogs WONT touch liver at all. Is there anything else I can try to help supplement those important vitamins?
i bough your interactive formulator and i didnt get anything? not even a payment confirmation email
Is the money missing from your account? Sounds like a glitch on the website not reflective off her tbh
@@mariscostumes3815 I fixed the issue with getting a refund through paypal and buying again using a different email
it had to be an issue on my part
Shoot me an email if you ever have any issues getting the formulator. Sometimes it gets sent to spam and promotions 😓 I can always send it to you personally
Once a day?
Hello, I do feed a raw diet but wondering if you have your dogs fecal checked more than once a year for either parasites or bacteria I don’t want to ask my vet because he doesn’t believe in a raw diet so that’s why I’m asking some people who actually feed a raw diet. Thank you very much
what about ecoli?
I just want to be clear because I feed my dog twice a day. This beginner meal is once a day, correct? And some of us are still waiting for an answer regarding spinach. One video states to avoid it, this one promotes it.
She answered that on another comment, that was written a month ago. You can scroll a little down then you should find it 😊
@@ThePinkBlur961 Oh, but Pink ... that would require common sense. 🙄Thank you. I've been burning the candle at both ends lately.
What about bacteria from raw meats like chicken and pork?
Is there a way to make up meal and freeze them with a raw food diet?
Make a video for a toy breeds. Thank you 🙏
Was that just for 1 meal!?
Yeah but it is the amount of calories that a 45 pound dog needs a day so you can split it into 2 meals if need be
Is raw safe tho because of parasites ? My little one is only 3.5 pounds
She never replies to any comments. Don't bother
Just bought your formulation calculator. I’ve got four different dogs, this will be great to help me calculate for each of the,
Can eggshell powder absorb as a calcium source?
Yes
What about dogs that have chicken allergy? I have 70lb bully with chicken allergy and 110 cane no allergies lol. Hard to figuire out their right proportions
I loved this stripped down to the basics of the amounts of those specific animal... but using simple algebra or weighted average, could easily convert it.
Thanks the vid
OH, I've hit a snag. lol. I am not good at Math. I have a 10 lb small dog. I will work on this, maybe get my math genuis brother in law involved. sigh.
Where do I find hearts at the grocery store
Chicken hearts are in chicken section. Beef hearts should be in area of beef, but may need ask butcher
Since a raw diet is often times more costly, can I also mix in some dry kibbles as well?
it is so hard for me to get over the bones part despite trusting you. i've given my shepherd med rare, close to rare chicken thigh without the bones but all raw with bone is such a tough hurdle for me
50 years ago our Vet said No bones, except the chicken neck. I don't remember if advised on raw or cooked. The neck being cartilage was the ok. The dog was about 8 pounds, similar to my dog now. Larger bones just seem so inappropriate!! But, we'll see.
Is salmon oil for dogs good a good substitute for the tuna?
Yes
Girl! I don't even eat that good 😂🥺
What organs do you normally add to meet Iodine requirement?
There's some iodine in liver, but you'd really have to feed something like the thyroid gland to meet iodine needs
I need help, wisdom in feeding a small dog, 12-14 #s. I have been feeding him cooked meets.
He is constipated right now. I just gave him kibble w/ coconut oil, turkey and broth to try to help.
I would appreciate your input.
Our son told us that we need an enzyme supplement to help digest the raw meat.
Your recipe seems complicated... so many elements to include. Certainly a dog would not have all those ingredients in a simple carnivore diet unless they are feasting on an entire animal.
I am considering that kibble is far from less than ideal for a healthy dog. My husband is not convinced.
I just watched another video of your that said spinach causes anemia in pets. But this video recommends it. Please help me understand. I must be missing something. Thanks.
I'm so sorry for the confusion. Spinach does not cause anemia, but anemia may occur if you RELY on it for iron in the diet (as in, you don't feed much animal-based ingredients for iron, you only rely on plant-based) spinach is still just fine to feed for fiber and small amounts of trace minerals!
You rock! My dogs prefer sardines. Can I substitute instead of salmon without causing an imbalance?
the vitamin D is a tad bit lower in sardines, so I'd up the amount just a little!
Should I got worry about Salmonella poisoning or worms in raw foods or not ?
I have a question! about how can we deal with bacterias on chicken or contaminated meat! like not the ones they bring with them naturally I mean the ones like industry mistakes. or enviromental contamination ? theres a way to keep safe from them? thank you so much
I have 7 working German shepherds. Can I make this more affordable than high quality kibble?
Thanks for all your videos you helped us out alot what brand was the vitamin e oil
Is this one meal for the whole day or would I need to feed 2x a day ?
This is one meal for the whole day. You can split into however many smaller feedings you need.
Love your content! Your channel helped me switch my puppy to raw. Currently still using a premade balanced grind by BJ’s Raw (would love of you can review them!) as a base and adding stuff like necks and wings for more calcium, salmon for omega 3’s, quail eggs, green tripe, kefir and a raw supplement by Earth Animal. Your videos are super well made and informative, please keep posting ❤️
When I do research, it says you should feed half of this daily, only do it weekly. Is that correct? Or should you always feed a meal like this daily ?
I have a 40 lb collie who id like to switch to raw. Would a meal like this be fed once a day?
good question. Is there a suggested amount based on weight? Then half??
OK her last video just said that spinach should not be given to dogs because it causes deficiencies???
My dog had an upset tummy for 3 days so tonight instead of her usual kibble I prepared a little meal for her consisting of porridge oats with a splash of goats milk, a little bit of spinach, some sardines in sunflower oil (2 Tbps) and just a little bit of kibble as filler to thicken it up, she absolutely wolfed it down and even had the audacity to go over to my other dogs bowl for more kibble. Definitely want to switch them to a raw diet though to maintain their health. I’ll be trying this recipe very soon! What would be handy is if you could add to the description the cost per portion (average) so I and others know how much it will cost to feed their dog this on a daily basis. Thanks!
Was looking forward to it!! It will be very helpful if you could tell me How much ( grams) of food a 5 month old gsd puppy should ideally eat if she is 19kgs and moderately active with no health conditions.
Use a food calculator hard -today
In a video it is stated, no spinach. I see it is added in this recipe.
How many calories is this meal specifically? Do you feed your dog 1 or 2x/day?
Can I have advice on how to improve my dog’s meals? I’m slowly switching my dog over to raw food. For reference he’s a large, 80lb 2 year old pitbull/boxer mix. So far I have:
• Ground beef
• Chicken thigh/leg meat
• Beef liver
• Chicken hearts
• Unseasoned and homemade chicken & bone broth
• Apple slices OR
• Sweet potato
• Vitamin E (sometimes)
I have chicken feet but he won’t eat them so we’ll use it in our broths. I’m planning on buying some canned sardines and spinach. How can I improve this to make sure he gets everything he needs? Thanks!!
I think the site wants you to go to the site advised for formulation you need for your dog. There is a "calculator" you pay for that helps. I haven't yet, as I have questions. I think this starter recipe is still great, just need to tweek for my dog.
great video thank you so much
Can i use your formulation calculator if i feed my dog cooked meal instead of raw?
Well this is a good video The girl needs to know what parts of a chicken or white meat versus dark meat. Thighs are dark meat not white meat!
Great video! Im still having trouble calculating for my 35lb dog. Im not sure if im reading it right. 14 oz a day just seems like not enough food for him. He just still seems hungry.
Is he too skinny? Is he too heavy? That's what you go by. Some dogs always seem hungry and they would eat 24 seven if you let them. Put some of the raw food in a Kong or a slow feeder bowl so he hast to work for it, and it takes longer to eat it.
@No Games no, he is not too skinny. His vet said he could lose about 5 lbs. I got him at the vet in 2020, and he was 26lbs... a little to skinny, in my opinion. He loves to beg, so maybe that is why he seems hungry. I just wanted to make sure I was calculating the right way and giving him enough food. It says 14 oz a day. I started a week ago feeding him a brand called viva raw dog food.
Same here! I hoped my 40lb dog was so excited about mealtime now because he loved the raw diet. Now im wondering if hes starving on 16oz per day since the recipe in this video for a 40lb dog is 22oz!! 🤔
@Sittin Pretty Jamberry Nails so I give my 35lb dog 8oz in the morning and 8oz at night. He could lose 2 or 3 lbs, but he is not overweight. He is pretty active. That's probably why my dog is super hungry by dinner time. Yeah, if it's says 22oz, maybe try it and split it between morning and night and see how he does.
Is the recipe meant to be given one or two times a day? @@khristinamarie9837
But do you mix it in a blendert?
Ugh😢 yesterday, my Rhodesian mix ate the chicken back pretty much swallowed it un chewed. Now she has diarrhea and passing liquid diarrhea and passing the vertebrae
I’m on the watch for blockage now.
I’m giving her yogurt, and pumpkin with bread to help pass. Any other suggestions??
I think I need to grind her bones moving forward bc she eats too fast and hardly chews the bones 😳😞😣
What I’ve been doing with my puppy who loves bones is holding onto one end and making her chew pieces off so she won’t get too big a piece and has to really crunch through it and swallow each piece before I let her take another bite. This would probably work well with stuff like chicken backs, necks, etc where there’s quite a few pieces that they can rip off. It is a bit more work but does become kind of a fun game and helps you bond with your dog too! Now if she ever does get too big of a piece by accident, I can tell her to come and drop it in my hand and she will give it to me so I can help her instead of eating it too quickly or running off with it. Hope this helps and good luck!
How is your dog? Did she pass it safely?
Awesome as always 🙏👍🐶
I’m not
Gonna lie chicken hearts is insane 🤦♀️😂
So is this meal just once a day for a 40lb dog?
That's right! You can split the total meal into however many feedings you need though
in the morning i dont feed my dog her bone (only at night), so how would i make up for the missing calories and meat from it?
Do I have to clean / wash all those raw meat before?
Dogs drink from the toilet and puddles. No.
raw chicken? no worries about tape worms?
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
I lucked out I talked to my butcher that my work uses I got 16lb of ground beef hearts. It’s what he feeds his dogs. Now I half to portion and freeze
