The same way they can eat raw ground beef, we can too. I been eating raw ground beef making lots of beef tartars for the past 5 years. I love it, digests so easy, high energy. I used to get puffy eyes and dark under eyes circles, constipation eating fully cooked ground beef. This has shown me how human body is tuned to eat meat.
Looking great! THANKS FOR THE SHOUT OUT ❣️ And no matter how you look at it, Kandi and I are offering so many thousands percent better fuel than the standard kibble diet for dogs!!! Think about it. You're giving them pretty much what they would be eating in the wild minus the tearing and bone eating or gnawing on that they would have received after a kill. That leads me to my next dilemma, which was they don't get a lot real tough chewing with all our ground food use. Our latest idea is that Jim took the long pork tenderloin I bought at Costco and I cut it into three pieces and froze it and then thawed one at a time and he puts it in the grinder on a coarse, thicker grind and I cooked it in the pan and it comes out in larger chunks... (I add a bit of this to my existing portions as Kandi is showing). They are about say half inch to an inch. And then I cool it and put it in a container in the fridge. This gives Sammy a little bit more to chew & tug on so that he's using his back molars. I spoke with a Vet about this and of course every one of his suggestions were ridiculous and filled with ingredients dogs should not be eating! We finally got it down to ...perhaps a rubber you know like the Kong toys, a rubber bone that they could gnaw on. This is at least a start to find something to help them use the chewing toughness of their back molars, and if anyone has some suggestions, please post them here in Kandi's comment section. Both Kandi and I know that dachshunds have jaws that can go through a toy in about 30 seconds! So, we were a little apprehensive about bones. We knew that no weight-bearing bones or cooked bones was the standard knowledge of what not to do, but still didn't want any choking episodes. (There are videos on what to do if a dog is choking and I suggest everyone watch them just to be safe rather than sorry.) We both know that chicken feet, although disgusting visually, are very good for glucosamine and chondroitin for your dogs. And Vets like Dr. Karen Becker have been suggesting chicken wings. Again, I think Kandi will agree that we are just too concerned about choking to do that, so Kandi's using bone meal and I'm using finely ground egg shells, that I save from pasture-raised eggs. Also, that membrane on the inside of the egg shell has a lot of collagen in it. Hopefully, one idea or the other will work for you as far as their bone and calcium needs. Thanks again, Kandi ❤ Please, everyone, do your research and think about what you're giving your dog for fuel. Think about the fact that they are *carnivores* through and through. They would never be eating any starches or vegetables or fruit except for seasonal berries, maybe. They wouldn't be attacking a watermelon and finishing it. They would be looking for their next meal of meat. The elders or the higher-ups in the pack would probably get the organ meat (that was pretty scarce to begin with). That's why Kandi factors in a SMALL amount of that into her recipe. Think ancestral... it's the way we're supposed to be eating, and it's the way they are supposed to be eating. Oh, and lastly, IMHO Dachshunds Rule 🥰
@ketovorekandi agreed... the same that recommended all those other weird things and the benefits of kibble for chewing which is absolutely ridiculous thought that Bully Sticks might not be the best idea. That alone makes me think they are LOL
Thank you for your inspiration and concise delivery. I don't have a dog anymore (allergies), but having tried carnivore myself, I know it is absolutely the best way to feed dogs and cats because they are carnivores!
Wow that did go quick, looked like 30 secs - your pups look awesome! How many meals do they get per day? Do you freeze the food? Thaw it out in the fridge?
I feed them two times a day. One of the scoops is one meal for one dog. I freeze the food and take it out the day before I feed to defrost in the fridge.
I swapped my aussie after 2 bouts of pancreatitis on typical dry processed dog food and thought I would give it a try. I'll buy 12 lbs of ground beef, 12 lbs of ground turkey for a 50/50 blend. Even though dogs don't need fiber, as a filler I will add in 64 oz. of chopped peas and carrots and sometimes will add in beef liver if we have it. I used to go through too much trouble by draining the meat after lightly cooking and measuring and weighing and separating out servings and yada yada yada....after a few months of this I just got tired of doing all of the tedious steps and now don't bother draining the meat since the rendered juices have great fat and collagen content and no telling how much nutrition so now we just lightly cook and dump in a huge mixing bowl, put the cold peas and carrots in with the hot meat and mix up good. Instead of using and wasting tons of plastic baggies, I just bag up a weeks worth in a large freezer bag and freeze all of the bags for future weeks and keep one thawed at a time and keep a 1/2 cup scoop to measure in the current thawed baggie for each feeding twice a day. So much easier! I do wash the 1/2 cup scoop every week to avoid bacteria build up from the thawed meat, if you don't that scoop gets smelly after 2-3 weeks of feedings!
@@ketovorekandi Not yet crossing our fingers. Last year he had pancreatitis twice in a 7-8 month span but so far this year he has been more energetic, his coat is much softer and stools are steady! This will be a life long experiment to see if it helps with longevity compared to our past dogs on a processed diet where we seem to get 12 years on average. If we get 16 to 18 years out of this guy then I know we're on to something from a metabolic standpoint!

Interesting! I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I eat a bit raw. Never the whole meal though.

I totally get the chewing part with using ground meat. I give my pups bully sticks to chew on. Hopefully that is a benefit!

Thanks for sharing, Shawn! Has your pup had any recurring bouts after switching the food?

@ I love that! Are you feeding the low fat ground beef?
Please tell me you reuse those plastic bags.
After washing!
