You are totally awesome! There is so much information out there but you summed it up perfectly. You deserve a million subscribers. Can't wait to use these videos to feed my dog and cat raw.
Thanks for your video. Parasites and such are my biggest worry. I really don't care about accidentally cross contaminating myself, I only care about my cat. But loads of vets and sources keep saying raw food diets are bad. It confuses me so much.
I am more than happy to share your videos with my viewers. Honestly, you break this down so wonderfully and it's helpful for many that don't understand how powerful feeding RAW will be for there pet to THRIVE!
Starting my Frenchbulldog and Labrador on a raw diet, preparing their meals this week for the freezer, your videos have helped educate me so much, I’ve been watching them religiously over the past few weeks to help me absorb information in! Thank you 💕🦴🐶
If you don't have access to a farmer's market or Asian market and want to still buy raw from your local grocery store, check out these videos: ruclips.net/p/PLwjMQnsLpzWJqUUMj55XjDxbfiF5533rP
For #6, I chose not to add raw meat to a kibble diet. I moved from kibble, to canned, then as I learned more...to better canned, and now going to raw.. I don't think her system would've been acidic enough to handle raw with kibble.
@@PawsofPrey the funny thing is I don't even have a dog "yet", but I still watch your videos because I find them enjoyable, interesting, and educational. I look forward to more great videos in the future. 😁
Sorry if im being a bit stupid, how can i be sure me or family wont have a risk of salmonella on raw fed dogs? I mean except of their poop , can saliva be dangerous as well? After fetch for example. Also how should i clean their paws from handling raw chicken/bones? Are wipes enough, or should i dip them in warm water ? :S HELP ! xD
@@heller2128 i think letting our dogs lick our faces is a mistake regardless of their diet.They sniff their own/other feces and private areas, as well as they "lick/clean" their private areas, so letting 'em lick your face "could" be an issue.Of course with raw feeding the chances sky rocket.
I was told that the digesting time of raw and kibble are different so it is not recommended to feed them at the same time because it will make your dog sick. But I don’t see any problems when my dog are fed kibbles and raw at the same time. What do you think?
Your videos are both easy to keep up with and packed full of answers to most of my questions. In other videos I know you talk about nutrition and added ingredients to ensure dogs get all the necessary vitamins and minerals. My only question is how do you calculate the vitamins and mineral doses per day? Also, do the doses vary from dog breed or dog weight?
Thank you so very much! Figuring out the calculations per weight is actually the most difficult information to find, but it's out there! I go over some dosages in this video: ruclips.net/video/hHrR_M2HOOo/видео.html it may also be beneficial to go through a certified nutritionist that specializes in raw. I'm currently taking a course for that now! But I highly recommend Raw Pets Rule for meal formulations.
Would you every recomend staying part kibble part raw? I ask because I travel quite a bit with my dog and feed who raw diet seems tricky when travelinh
If I were to grind up all the muscle meat and organs, could I have that in a big patch if mixed very well to pull out just what I need every day? So if I make 10 pounds of organs+ muscle meat and take ~3.75 oz of food and add 0.25 oz of bone and supplements (kelp, vitamin E, etc) each time I feed the cats, would that all work well, or would the ground up meat create imbalance somehow? Thank you for taking the time to read my comment! Recently looking into raw feeding and I hope I can start transitioning soon. Your channel has been a big help in finding what's needed!
oh also, Is it 3-4% of body weight a day? Or per feeding? I don't want to accidentally feed too much. And should I feed it at once if my cats will eat it all at once, or should I split it up throughout the day?
You can! Whatever works best for your dog. Matsu just switches from size to side chewing it. If your dog is a gulper I would try and cut it up into small pieces.
I’m wondering if you can answer this quesrion: I have two cats: 6 years old and 4 months old. While the kitten loves eating everything and has no problem with eating meat with bones, the older one won’t eat the meat that isn’t minced or chopped up in really small bites (his teeth are fine). I want to incorporate more raw meat into their diets and then maybe go fully raw, but I’m wondering how the older one would get the “bones” portion of the meal? Just give him supplements instead of bones or what?
If his teeth are fine, what your kitty just needs is to learn how to chew! It's a learning curve with bones. I would try offering a cut with some bone in it (maybe like a wing tip) but crushed up a bit (as in hit with a mallet or something similar) that way the bones are still in pieces, but not as hard as it would be in one large piece. You just have to get them used to it! If there was really no change even with trial and error, then that's when a supplement like a high quality bone meal would need to come in.
Your videos are awesome! Could I ask what you do if your dogs ate something that didn't agree with them? Like something off the floor that gave them diarrhea. Do you keep feeding them raw? I don't have any vets in my area that support raw feeding, and I know you may or may not be a vet, but your insight could really help me out.
I usually would fast for most of the day if not 24 hours or so, or if I am feeding something, I would only feed white muscle meats, maybe some white meat raw meaty bone, and then some kefir with slipper elm bark powder mixed in. If it were really bad, I would skip the raw and just feed kefir and SEB for the day or so :)
Question.. I was thinking if i can buy property in bulk, to prep out a month of food for my future dog and store in a freezer.. I'd assume it's best to have an extra few weeks food supply on hand in the event of any issue where you can't prep/buy the food.. In this case, how long would you keep frozen raw meals? Also, in the event of a power outage and you lose the food you have, is there any plan B? For instance should I buy some high quality kibble of some sort just in the event of those emergencies? Obviously I'd just go to the store and grab something but still just a thought that crossed my mind. Thanks!
hi! i have thought about that to in case of emergencies. what do i feed my pets? i have one cat and one dog and every time i go to the store i pick up 1 or 2 cans of cat and dog food. this way i start to get a stock pile built up in case something happens. the reason i don't think of kibble is because canned food lasts longer and theyre in smaller portions so waste is minimal in case you never use it :) hope this helps!
Kefir for probiotics. Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, swiss chard, parsley, and dandelion greens. Make sure to either steam or puree the veggies for optimal nutrient absorption.
Hi! I found your video to be super helpful! I’m based in a country I don’t feel safe to feed my dog raw meet because the food quality is so bad. But I still like the benefit of feeding raw and want to prepare a balanced diet for my dog. Would it be okay if I heat up all the meet (no bone)?
Understandable!! A cooked diet is definitely better than kibble, however I'm not too familiar with the proper ways of balancing it. Rawpetsrule.com can formulate you a balanced cooked diet though!
I have a question about scales and weight. We've been trying to weigh out the food and such but something just seems off about it. When I weigh the liver for a 8-10 pound cat, it looks like a very small amount for them. When weighing for an 80 pound dog(who's currently gonna do half kibble half raw), it still seems like not enough, especially when compared to kidney where the total size for it was more than doubled for the same weight. For the dog, 0.96oz of liver was much smaller than 0.96oz of the kidney. Should I get a new scale? Is this normal? Do frozen and unfrozen weighs make a difference? I'm just really worried and nervous now about if I'm feeding the correct amounts. I'm sorry if this question seems dumb.
You know, sometimes the size of the organ meat seems off when comparing it to another organ meat that weighs the same. You can certainly try a different scale, but I think it may just be the density of the meat itself. Usually, it SEEMS like you're adding in a much bigger portion of kidney to match the weight of the liver, which looks like a lot less, but really they are still the same weight. I'm thinking your scale is correct.
Do you have links to sources? Or do you have credentials that would cement your knowledge on this? I'm interested in giving my new dog the raw food diet, but there's a lot of scientific information against it, rather than for it. That said the personal experiences and anecdotes I've read from people (including you) who advocate for raw feeding have encouraged me to at least try it. Kibble seems depressing, and there's a bunch of conflicting information that makes me feel that its not the most preferable way of feeding a dog, but there seems to be less risk overall. I do plan on talking to the vet about this once I actually get my puppy, but if you have any scientific resources to back up what you're saying I'd love to check them out myself! I do love how easy your videos are to follow though!
It's understandable to be skeptical! There are a few studies here and there, but the unfortunate part about raw diets is that the people who have the ability/funds to do these studies, have no incentive to as they're currently banking on pet food, why would they want to steer people away from it? I'm going to link you to a veterinarian who does have the credentials, as well as a few other articles I hope can be helpful.

I didn’t understand what u meant that we shouldn’t feed cats the digestive tract of an animal. The digestive tracts is like the biggest part of an animal. If u say I can’t feed cats the digestive tract u mean that chicken liver, heart and organs should not be fed to cats? Then all I can feed him is meat blood bones? I’m confused. Also cats in the wild would eat the whole animal they won’t eat parts of it and leave the digestive tract. Also I want to know can I feed my cat raw quail egg as a treat?
I suggest buying meats in bulk and spending one day to meal prep out maybe a month's worth of meals. I've had to do that when I worked full time and it took a lot of stress off!
@@inosuke6439 you could, do you think they will eat it when you put it down? Raw food can actually be consumed with no issue even when sitting out for an hour or so.
Yes, unless it's a frozen hard bone pieces that may fracture a tooth. Large frozen pieces shouldn't be fed if your dog likes to gulp though, this could be a choking hazard.

Awesome video! On reddit someone had a question about the safety of bones. I told them that raw bones are perfectly safe!
Yep as long as they are raw, surrounded my meat, and are small enough for the dog to chew, they are perfectly fine to feed!
