In raw feeding you have to have a balance of meat to bone otherwise your dog will have diarrhea. You also shouldn't feed weight bearing bones to your dog.
You should be feeding 10% raw meaty bone you also should be feeding 10% secreting organs. Liver should be the primary organ but you need another organ such as kidney. Also keep in mind that heart and gizzards are muscle meats.
Way too much liver, and no second secreting organ. Feeding raw needs to be done properly. Your dogs will develop vitamin A toxicity if you continue feeding that much liver with no other organ.
Wow!!! I just taking a look at some raw foods check out Ayers legends Shepherd.he's breeders knowledge.He's a bad MF I'm sure you'll enjoy ..my e..mail is on here... Check out Robert Cabral trains but just check him .
there's a reason why your only spending $100 for meat.. your missing a lot in this diet. please do more research. I've studied k9 nutrition and have been feeding raw for 15yrs! please do not feed this way! that meal is missing a ton of nutrional requirements! feeding raw wrong can be very damaging long term. if you feed raw it must be balanced! reed NRC guidelines!
Hi! Do you have any recommendations? I switched my dog over from kibble to cooked food/veggies and now trying to switch to raw. I want to make sure his food gives him all the nutrients he needs and there are so many different opinions on what is healthy!
I agree. Missing ALOT!!! I spend at least $120 a month on just 1 gsd. Ur doing more harm by consistently being deficient in certain nutrients. Better off feeding kibble.
Its confusing because my puppy us a large breed but he only weights 11 lbs and some say feed him how much hes gonna wieght so 3 percent of 95 lbs but thos calculator says only 10 oz. But I'm feeding 1.5 lbs to him?
I buy from a company that grinds up the right proportions of meat, bone, organs, etc. N I get it in rolls. I hate touching meat! so its less interaction with the raw meat. I don't have to calculate much and it's about 7$ a day for his foods cuz I add the fruits n veggies plus chia seeds n other superfoods. The raw diet has improved his well being a lot. Thanks for sharing how you do it! I just bought a freezer to prep more ahead of time n store it.
Hi there! I came across your channel and love the content you're sharing with fellow pet parents! 🐾 I wanted to reach out because I’m with Petsmont, a company focused on improving dogs’ lives through natural remedies. We have a 100% USDA Certified Organic supplement called Buddy Guard, made from pure fruiting bodies of medicinal mushrooms. It’s designed to help with lumps and bumps in aging dogs, while boosting energy and overall vitality. We’d love to send you a complimentary jar in exchange for a video review! Let me know if you're interested. 😊
I feed mine frozen so they have to take their time eating it meaning they fully chew their food and it exercises their jaw, cleans their teeth and entertains their mind.
@@AlphaAussies I have a few that do that too, especially if they're in sight of each other. But it's really not good for their digestion. If I'm really busy feeding raw helps too because I can crate them and they can take their time eating while I focus on what I need to get done. Then I wash out the bottom of the crates.
Thanks for sharing! Interesting seeing how other people prepare their pups food. Thinking about making a video on our process too. So many people are interested in homemade meals, and it's nice being able to share knowledge to make raw feeding more tangible
This video is amazing, thanks for sharing! I have an aussie who also weights about 45-50lbs and we are starting the same raw food diet because of this video :) I was wondering how the doggos are doing with this diet since this video was made?
I plan on getting a Rottie one day. For someone who’s brain get scrambled when it comes to anything math related, this is intimating. God I hope I don’t muck this up.
to much liver is really bad.. liver should never exceed 5% of the total organ %.. for example if your feeding 15% organ meats a day liver should only consist of 5% and other secreting organs should make up the other 10%. you always need at least 2 secreting organs for every meal..just liver is not enough.
I’m confused about the bone part? Would you mind trying to explain it? I’ve gone to the website and kinda get confused because of the bone in leg quarters is that considered the bone they need? Is it enough or to much? Lol yea a bit confused here
Did you figure it out? It is confusing at first, there's so much info. There are calculators online that help you figure out how much meaty bones you need to feed for them to be getting the right amount of bone content, like this one: perfectlyrawsome.com/raw-feeding-knowledgebase/bone-content-in-raw-meaty-bones/
FYI if you freeze the organ meats before cutting them up it’s much easier. Otherwise liver is super slimy and hard to grasp and chop into bite sizes. If you can’t find secreting and non secreting organ meats like: spleen, heart, brain, etc. like myself try dried organ meets in supplement form or basically powdered, ground down form. But of course if you can find kidney, liver and heart that’s a great start but definitely try and supplement with one like I found “Guts & Glory” is about $30 per container with scoop. Has directions on how much per body weight of dog and offers a subscription plan with 15% off so about $25.00. Others easily cost $40+
On one end people feed purina and iams, on the other there’s people who transition to raw and try to raise a healthier dog. Nothing bugs me more than experienced raw feeders critiquing good dog owners because they aren’t doing a perfect job in their eyes. Good on her for trying and putting the effort into learning and raising a healthy dog I’m sure she will learn more as the journey continues, as we all most likely did👏🏽
@@Kellly828 just because you feed fresh and transition to raw over kibble doesn't excuse the fact that it should be balanced. Vitamin A toxicity is real. This "throw it all in a bowl and it's good because it's fresh" mentality gives raw feeders a bad name. If you do choose raw, people should see out guidance from nutritionists or pick up some reading material on the subject. Dog nutrition is NOT the same as human nutrition.
I’m dying here for your Aussie babies! I had my male/standard with tri colored red hair, Aussie named Granger. Unfortunately he developed some kind of sick, awful autoimmune disease (which led me onto raw feeding) that took him out early but he’s one of the best dogs I was fortunate to have. I do have my mini Aussie Tula. She’s the standard tri color, she’s in my pic, you can barely see her but just the most phenomenal dogs! I also have my newest member Sawyer and he’s half husky/Aussie. He’s an odd mix but beautiful non the less. Definitely more husky than Aussie. Anyways good luck, love that I found your channel and it’s awesome to see phenomenal Aussie parents caring the for their dogs in the way we all should strive for.
So I’m confused. Ive done all the math I have the Daily Intake and the Daily Energy requirement. I also have everything divided out by the amount of each ingredient by weight per day. I just don’t know how to factor in the Calories needed. Can anyone help?
Melissa (hope I spelled that right lol) I have 3 rottys, one is a puppy 2-3 months, a 9 month, and a 2 year old. How could I go about swapping them from kibble to raw??? If u have any info. Ive been watching so much on raw dieting but this video on prepping IS SO AWSOME!!!!!! Mine have never had raw but I'm sure theyd absolutely love it. Any advice??
Yes you nailed it 👍🏻 I can make a more in depth video about this but for now I can say that transitionally adding raw elements into their kibble is the way to go! Until he is fully transitioned into all raw
Thank you so much for sharing all this info. I do have a question - if let's say you wanted to add other ingredients (aside from eggs) like carrots, ginger, blueberries, etc? How do you package that in the food prep process? Are those in separate containers? Do you also make treats for the puppers? Your dogs are beautiful also. =)
It’s best to keep it proportioned. We are actually trying to add weight to our French bulldog (22lbs should be weighing 25lb) and we just give him food as if that’s how much he already weighs:)
About $30-$40 per dog for us! I made a video with how to find the best price. I’ll link it just in case you want to check it out 😁 ruclips.net/video/2ehoFcTtPXk/видео.html
Far from true. Animals in the wild actually want to eat the vital organs first especially liver because of the same reason we feed liver to our dogs - it is packed with nutrient. That’s how they survive in the wild by using every nutrients from they’re prey. Even fur provided healthy gut + source of fibre, it’s even a healthy mental stimulation for them to play with. Do your research
Thank you very informative especially for my group that wants to learn. Keep sharing, great job, I've been rescuing dogs for years and been raw feeding for sometime. Love the raw food calculators.

@@00corin00 I don’t think they are 😔
This is something I struggled with mostly because my freezer is so small lol
Lol I’m gonna need to get a whole ass chest freezer to fit this much in there lol
I’m getting an Aussie but I have to wait like a year cuz all of the litters are booked up 😭😭😭😭
We are having Aussie puppies by the end of this year 😁

I need to do this with Rocket because he tries to swallow his food like a snake 🐍 😓

Stella and nova and rocket are so cute their so energetic
Would like to see more of this content and how you're dogs are doing with their diet . great informative videos you guys are great pet owners.
Thank you! Wiley just started his raw food diet tonight!
Wiley is also an Aussie :)
That’s awesome!! Please share how it goes! We are also here if you have more questions :)

Does anyone know how to calculate a dogs maintenance level? MER? Mine is very very active and I’m not sure how many calories he needs
Concerned you may not be taking into account mineral and vitamin balance. That's alot of vitamin A in the liver for 1 dog.
I said the same thing... this is not a balanced meal. over time these dogs will have severe defeciencies!

Do ur dogs not have crazy diarrhea from all the liver?

I don’t get what the price/lb has to do with the dogs size. It the total composition different between the dogs?
I hope you warm it in the morning . Super bad on a warm tummy.
Do you have Instagram I could follow?
You feed then raw chicken???
How much should I be feeding my Aussie? She’s on the smaller side, not quite a mini but smaller than yours for sure.
She’s 9 months. I just got her and she’s on kibble right now but I really want to switch her to this diet as soon as possible

You can pack them up in the same container it doesn’t change anything and regardless the food is put together in the same bowl
I usually keep them fresh and will serve the same day. I do make treats! I have some videos on the channel :)
Are you having more aussies this year? Wondering how much they are (:
We sure are! Please email me mjproductivity@gmail.com
Also if I wanted to add weight to the rescue male should I give him more protein?
It’s best to keep it proportioned. We are actually trying to add weight to our French bulldog (22lbs should be weighing 25lb) and we just give him food as if that’s how much he already weighs:)
This was really helpful thank you so much
I’m glad I can help! 😁
So are these portions just for a day? Or do you feed them more than one tray a day?
We portion out for a single feeding per day :)
Does it give them salmonella? Do you have to freeze, then thaw and serve?
I mean there's always a chance but their biology is made to fight salmonella way better than humans, so it's really not likely
Right on point ☝️
How expensive is this ????
About $30-$40 per dog for us! I made a video with how to find the best price. I’ll link it just in case you want to check it out 😁
