I started to try to educate my mother on cat nutrition but she asked me not to because she was afraid she couldn't afford a raw diet for her 3 cats and didn't want to stress every time she fed them. She did start buying a brand with meat as the first ingredient so that's a step in the right direction!
Aw, yes that definitely is! Your mom seems to understand it's what might be best, but that's an understandable reason why she can't feed it. Little steps are so much better than none at all.
@@PawsofPrey Hello! I am new to your channel and I am actually from Brazil. I have been reading quite a bit about cat's nutrition. To be fair, I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the information. I do believe I should raw feed my cat, but there are so many nutrients and important things to consider and - unfortunately - where I live I am unable to subscribe to a raw food service; so for now I have been trying to buy the best available dry food (N&D, it has more protein and lots of natural ingredients) and I also feed my cat one sache of wet food (Royal Canin Light - she is a bit overweight, because I wasn't as aware of cat's nutrition a while ago). It is a rabbit whole I am going down, but I do want to learn more about cat's diet and I want to one day know enough to make her food that is good and healthy. Thank you for all your content!
Doesnt want to stress also means too lazy to take care of a living being
I have never tried raw feeding my cat but when I go to the supermarket the meat is pretty cheap especially if you buy it in bulk or at least where I am from
@@Tyler-fo6yf no, because people have to other things
I’ve started today by getting chicken thighs & wing tips, liver & heart being very skeptical about my 10 month old cat trying it - until he grabbed and ate a chicken wing off my chopping board 🤣
Nicole, here's what I discovered my cat likes. Chicken drumsticks! Not Livers or hearts. Only chicken drumsticks! I cut up a little piece with scissors. I do pull back the skin but maybe the skin could be good for himI'll try it next time ! And A drumstick cost less than a dollar! A lot cheaper and healthier than cat food in a can. I'm also feeding him human tuna fish light in water! And I also Rents the salt Off the tuna fish before I feed him. You gotta be careful because I only use tuna fish once or twice a week. And I also mix the 2 together tuna fish and cut up chicken drumsticks for a different variety. Oh, I also sprinkle just a little dry food . He thinks it's BONE from a REAL ANIMAL !! Makes him. VERY HAPPY! A d appararantly he likes his chicken .... CHILLED!!!!
Hi, I'm new to your channel and your content is amazing. I want to switch my cat's diet to raw and your videos are very helpful. Keep up the great content
The Primal Pack cool content you really give us a lots of very useful ideas, btw I love your cute voice of course your content too Good Vibes, this video deserves a million views
That's so nice to hear, thank you!
Hello! Great video as always! If you dont mind, would you like to put the links where to download all the journals that you stated in the video?
This video is very helpful, thank you. I appreciate educational value of this video.
so i kinda sumbled in to your channel while resurching natural inflamatory's for my cat😅. he has gingivitis and his gums are always a tad red. im trying to brush his teeth daily but due to my own late diagnosed mental diversity in glad i can keep my own teeth clean.
im not trying to make excuses because there is no excusses for not doing the best for your cats health. so im wondering if you have some good audiobook tips i could look into:). i would love to learn more about feeding your cat raw/whole pray meat. i don't think my parent's will be up for it but i will hopefully find my own place soon:).
i love the videos of you is have seen so far btw:), your corgi's expresions are adoribleXD.
love these videos! I hope there will be a Franken diet for ferrets one day :)
amazing, i am going to use this video to convince my mother that dry food is the worst thing to feed our family cats
Hi, awesome content !
Thank you!
So awesome seeing people care for there little loved ones. My cat has been eating beef and chicken breast but from the comment section I think I'll switch to chicken legs and thighs.
Do you have any recommendations for sources on cat nutrition and what foods carry what nutrients? A lot of the foods you use in your videos Im having a lot of trouble finding, and Im having trouble finding clear sources for alternatives (or any info that isn't a pros vs cons list) via google. I just don't want to miss any vital nutrients and it's all super confusing.
a price comparison video would be great :)
AMAZING VIDEO!!!
THANKS!!
Have you ever considered publishing a informative/guideline book? Your videos are wonderful and in depth but I feel like for many, seeing it down on paper and in one place would be useful as well.
Stay tuned ;)
Please make a video for people that dont have access to variety of raw meats, for example here we only have turkey , chicken and beef, but no liver or hearts etc ,, so it will be nice if i can setup a complete diet with the meats available and add other ingredients through other supplements. Thanks alot
I will share this on my facebook! Very good video.
- I will, def ask the local butcher market, for those new organs, u recommend, such chicken neck, spleen, gizzard. I have one question what do you think about using egg schell as a calcium/bone nutricion? grind it down to dust ofc. ty
Thank you! So powdered eggshells are a good source of calcium, but they don't contain phosphorus which is essential. If your cat isn't eating raw meaty bones, first try grinding or pulverizing the raw meaty bones, and if that doesn't work, supplement with a high quality bone meal powder.
Hey whats the name of the music in this video? I like it
got an ad for a vegan dog food before this video, how ironic lol
Great video.
It is cheaper to feed a cat raw meat than it is feeding her with commercial cat food and, the cat is much healthier so it is a win win situation.
Jackson Galaxy said that it will increase their energy levels, and that's the main reason I want to do it. You didn't mention it, so what do you think about it?
YESS THX SM FOR THIS VID MORE WAYS TO CONVINCE MY PARENTS RAW DIET IS GREAT (WELL BALANCED)
For me it’s like what ever I say about a well balanced raw diet they have something to say about how it’s not good, so I steam the meat I feed my ferret. And when I was trying to switch him there was a tiny bit of back-and-forth so hopefully you will have better luck then me. 😄
@@lilianaKawehilanimarshall ok so my parents were kinda the same so what u can do is first tell them like all the information u can show them pics of the stomach ect then u give them boiled meat but u boil it less and less and try raw after a while let them see it's safe and yea best if lunch also sneak raw bits lol heheh
@@wolffixx4116 thank you for the information :)
@@lilianaKawehilanimarshall np
Perfect :3
Not about the video, but tangy is so so cute I love him I always wanted a ginger cat 💕
Ginger kitties are the best!!!

Whats the best wet foods i can feed my cat??? before i try to transition to raw
Where can I find a balanced recipe including chicken feet for my cat please? I was doing 75% muscle meat, 15% organ and 10% bone. TIA
after feeding my cat a raw diet for over 5,5 years I finally gave up and added kibble...
He was grown on raw food and he ate almost everything and then with age he started to get pickier and pickier, he became so picky he left portions of food, eating about 1% or less of his weight while only eating muscle meat (only lean beef or chicken breasts, some liver and kidney), sometimes (like once a month or so) he would try chicken neck. He only likes eating whole-day-old chickens, but all his diet contains no freaking source of calcium at this point. I can get him 3-weeks old whole quail, but they are so rare (and expensive) and I get them in bulk (25 birds) once every 4 or 5 months and it's not enough. He can be picky about eating feeder mice, he doesn't eat eggs.
I was firm with him and didn't add any treats or other food if he didn't eat the meal but it didn't work and he lost so much weight. He became so skinny and bony and his fur is awful, I am tired and I hate it.
So now he gets 40% of his daily food as high-quality kibble to fill the gaps he might have and 60% as meat, organs, fish, and day-old chickens.
However, I will try to keep his diet as raw as possible..
I feel you seriously. My cat is 7 now and started half a year ago. Shes alright with lean beef and chicken breast but from what I hear they like thighs and wings and such. But I had to cover the meat with wet canned cat food at first and i just stopped adding the canned food and she looks at me like wtf dad but eventually eats it. I think I'll get wings and thighs to try. But keep strong we should not feed our animals crud.
I don’t even have a cat anymore, but enjoyed this video!
I appreciate it!
I don’t yet have a cat, but when I get one I would like to feed it a raw diet. However, I am scared that in the beginning the motivation will keep me going, but that it will be harder to keep up after time. In addition, my apartment only has a smaller freezer, and I wonder if it is feasable to go through one whole of an organ, before switching it up to keep the amound kept at a time at a minimum?
I have a small studio and a small freezer and I have been feeding my cat raw since november 2020. Honestly it's faisable to store the organs in your freezer :) depends what organ you give him. I often give him chicken kidney, beef brain, testicles, etc. All can be cut up and stored in your freezer. I can only keep two weeks worth meat + extra organs in my freezer but it works fine. Of course it's another organisation and you have to be motivated :) but it's also about habits. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes your routine. Hope this helps :)
@@DemonFelicity thanks for the encouragement! it really helps :)
Just ordered my cat a half kilo of chicken hearts to see if he likes them 🥰
Did he?
@@dlg.studios5649 he is obsessed with them! so worth the buy
@@emilyspencer305 - Great for you! :)
you should do a 10 reasons for ferrets too!
Honestly....all of these apply to ferrets too! lol
Hey! SOS important question, My cats have feline herpes virus, is raw food safe to feed them? what precautions should i take to make sure its safe?
Does raw food require more exercice for the cats when they live in an appartment ?
So what did they eat before 7,500BC?
I wish I had a cat
Hey is 90mg sodium per serving safe for cats?
I don't even have a cat still find this video great. A lot of people don't use common sense both cats, dogs & ferrets were domesticated. By us. If they were not with us look what they would eat. I have seen stray dogs hunt deer & obviously cats hunting rodents (meat).
It's so true!
I have a question you said when starting then off on the raw diet to start of with one protein. Do you mean like only feed him that one protein for a few days nothing else ?
Yes, for instance chicken. You would feed a little raw chicken breast with their commercial food, then maybe a chicken neck with the commercial food, then chicken heart or gizzard, then liver, and then once you can tell your cat does fine on chicken, then add in another protein, and so on. This is all while adding more raw and reducing the commercial food (as long as they're taking to it well)
Are there any other flea and tick prevention products u use other than the herbal flea and tick powder?
I use Wondercide spray on Matsu when we go outside on long walks or hikes! Haven't had to use anything else for the other animals
@@PawsofPrey okie thanks cuz I’m looking for flea and tick products cuz I used to use seresto collars but I’ve seen quite a few new articles saying it’s killed like almost 1700 pets.
My kitty now poops every other day and about half the amount. The no.1 has increased from 2 to 3 and sometimes.es even 4. He is taking a while to fully transition but it is happening and s now doing less than half of wet food!
Slow and steady is sometimes what it takes for kitties!
First!! 🥰🥰💕💕💕
Congrats!
My cat is about 3 years old, he will not eat raw he eats a piece then leaves every meat behind, my cat goes and caughtes a mouse or rat when he wants raw and never eats my raw diet
Can dogs eat raw eggs
Can cat with liver disease eat raw diet?
I've watched all your videos on feeding cats raw and even how to switch. My cat Nyx is extremely picky when it comes to food. Do you have any tips on how I can get her to eat raw?? I've tried everything recommended but no luck.
Have you tried grinding it up or feeding frozen as sometimes the texture is the issue
@@ariam3164 Yes. She turns her nose away and then gives me a dirty look like I offended her or something
@@KikiDeAnime I see, I’m not sure how to help in that case, sorry
Ok my cat was literally the same but some things u can do is ok this is kinda mean not rlly but when there grooming just put like a small puree raw food there where there liking so that makes then try is make sure ur cat doesn't get stressed
1. Get balanced raw food
2.blend it all up
3.offer no kibble for a bit
4.when grooming put a tiny bit on the coat
5.mix in kibble or wet food
Please make a video NOT about diet🤔 I'm so curious about how you bath your pets, clean their ears, cut nails💕 I understand not brushing because they eat raw..
In nature cats don’t have baths or cut their nails...
This channel is all about foods diets and stuff
Hi, I am having pork shoulder for dinner tonight and trimmed off the fat bottom. I was wondering if I could give it to my raw fed dog? Thanks
I wouldn't give too much fat, especially if it's cooked. Raw fat like that is usually just necessary for hard working dogs or super active puppies
@@PawsofPrey Ok. The fat is raw, and on some days my dog is working 5 hours straight so I could feed it then for an energy boost? And how much do you recommend? Also, what other meats produce more energy, or is it just fat?
@@GSlover14305 fat is what carnivores best utilize, but some carbohydrates are also used for energy. I'd stick with raw fat though! How much does your dog weight?
@@PawsofPrey Around 65 pounds plus or minus. She is a GSD but was the runt of her litter so she is on the smaller side, almost 2 years old. . She works a lot on some days... tracking, fetch, tasking, walking, searching, swimming, running, and more. And on those days it would be best if she has a good amount of energy to burn and work throughout the day.
@@GSlover14305 1-2 oz of fat on those days should be fine! I'd start out small and work your way up. Could cause some loose stool if fed too much!
What about parasites? I feed my cat meat and chicken but boiled for safety
A diet of only meat and chicken isn't balanced and can be harmful long term - unless you just mean as meal toppers/treats. As far as parasites, I have a video on that! ruclips.net/video/SFX7J1mEij8/видео.html
I just started feeding my dog raw food based on a chart i found and it says the 80% of meat they need can only be fed 2-3 times a week along 10% bone, 5% excreting organ, 5% liver. (Liver as well 3 times a week) i feed him brain, heart, testicle, liver ground beef with pureed carrots broccoli and spinach and a chicken leg. In the afternoon i feed him 2 chicken legs and a 7oz ball of the ground beef. Now where i am really confused and where my question comes in is what do i feed my dog the other 4 days out of the week Because i fed him what he needed the first 3 days of the week? (Hes 50lbs i also weigh out all his raw meat and i need to feed 10oz in morning and afternoon which comes out to being a little more than a pound a day and i need to meet his daily requirements which is food intake for his size) i definitley feel like im not balancing something right any tips would really me out please and thanks
Idk what chart you are using but that’s incorrect. I believe the meal should be balanced everyday.. not 2-3 times a week & given ground meat the other days. Bone should be given daily about 10% of the meal(I give mine 12%) and organ is 10% daily. Check out perfectlyrawsome.com & look up the calculator. You sound like you’re on the right path. You’re also missing Omega 3’s,Zinc/manganese/Vitamin E just to name a few
Make sure you're feeding 4 different kinds of meat sources like, pig, lamb, beef and duck. Sticking to only 2 meats could cause deficiencies.
Try not only using ground beef and chicken, my dogs get ostrich duck, sheep, beef(not ground) and rabbit you can get by a company who makes raw mince or you can buy a rabbit chunks or even get a hunter that can help, go to slagterhouses they have alot of pieces shops won't have, I got some raw yesterday for my dogs (2kg they eat a day) and found kidneys and sheep liver in the slagterhouses, even going to diffrent slagterhouses u can ask for the tails of the animals they have or even the ears
raw diet for kittens ?
Perfectly fine, you can find a premade raw kitten paste to wean kittens off of milk
Coming soon!
Costco sells pork loin. I feed this to my cats with wet food. My cats get milk also. Never had a problem!
Cats can't digest milk.
I thought pork is too high in sodium for cats to have regularly?
i cant even afford meat myself everyday lol
My cat won't eat ts
I'm starting to feel very bad about the horrible and totally inappropriate packet foods I've been feeding my cats.
So cn I feed my cat raw chicken breast thighs ? And stake
????
Should I start eating raw meat?
is this a joke?
If their digestive system is able to take care of bacteria on raw food, then why is it not safe for me to feed raw to my cat on steroids. Do I have a Dr who is not informed on benefits? When I switched my cat to all canned 95%meat her entire personality changed. We thought it was the drugs, it was the dry food making her listless.
Steroids suppress the immune system
@@juliac3933 I know
I would love to switch to my cats a raw diet but I am so scared of making it unbalanced... i honestly cant afford a vet at the moment so i dont want to give my cats an unbalanced diet...
What u can do is fist do as much recherch as u can her vids help like soooooo much and if u want u can feed a high quality wet food for a couple meals or if u rlly want kibble :D
You can feed a premade raw. Just read the ingredients and add what it needs.
A lot of people have that fear. I started my dogs on a raw diet about a month ago. I have been tweaking it here and there since; just trying to do more research and improve. It’ll take time.
Just do the best you can with what you can!
will a whole quail/ grinded cover the whole nutrional requirements for a cat?
i would lik to get my 12 weeker started on raw.
any suggestions on how to introduce it?
i a. worried about her getting the runs as well.
Believe me it is worth it! Cats can indeed get diabetes.
Humans are carnivores
