Why Your Raw Fed Pet NEEDS Protein Variety
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2020
- For a raw diet to even begin to be balanced, the first step is to provide at least 3 protein sources to your pet’s meal, with at least one being red meat. There are dozens of essential vitamins and minerals your pet needs that a single protein just can’t provide.

Love your channel! Keep it up. So many cats and dogs will benefit on a raw diet. My dogs look half their age compared to kibble fed dogs🥩🍗🍖🥚
ohhh so that's why... thank you so much for this!
You're welcome!
Another great video! My ferrets are really picky about their red meats and want NOTHING to do with pork, but they've started to really enjoy lamb lately. I'm still trying to convince them to eat beef. They love rabbit and duck though!
Yeah Guts was weird about red meats too! But he would eat it eventually lol.
I've been binge-watching your videos for 2 days straight, keep up the quality content and information
Appreciate this !
I tend to use wild game fairly often and I've had a hell of a time trying to find out what vitamins and nutrients are in the different types of game meat and what they are classified as (red/white).
I had believed the wild beaver and muskrat I include in my dogs diet, is considered a red meat, but now this video has got me rethinking that...🤔🤔
oh no im sorry!! I did this a couple hours ago before binge-watching your videos haha. you have a great personality, cute pets, and you are so great at doing the research so thank you!!
Thank you!!
I have only been able to find chicken liver for my homemade food, so i decided to add some pre-made raw blends into my cat's diet just to include some other organ cuts. Thank you for all the inspiration!
Absolutely! :)
Wonderful video as always!!
Thank you!!
Great video! like always!
Thanks again!
Such a helpful & informative video!! Your channel is the best.
Thank you so much!
this was so helpful!! thank you
Glad it was helpful :)
Please do a video about what vitamins and minerals are needed per meal and per week for raw feeding. After seeing ur videos I’ve been really wanting to transition my 7-month-old puppy to a raw diet simply because it’s a healthier choice, but is so intimated by all the knowledge I need to obtain. Your videos has helped sooooo much and are all very detailed and easy to understand!
Is this helpful? : ua-cam.com/video/hHrR_M2HOOo/v-deo.html
Yes, thank you, I’ve watched the video and it really did help a lot what vitamins are needed. But I’m still confused with the vitamin intake per meal...
@@luan-vz3yq the dosages I go over in that video are for daily doses!
thanks
You're welcome!
Im so thankful for your channel! I’m confused on how to calculate the percentage while weighing the food? Like I guess the conversion part?
I go over that here :) ua-cam.com/video/YwkwkecJx3E/v-deo.html this applies to dogs and cats.
Thank you for the informative videos I will be getting my first sphynx kitty soon and I’m educating myself on feeding him a raw food diet. The dog in this video is a very polite eater. ☺️
Thank you so much for this video. I recently started my cat on a raw homemade diet and was wondering why he was itching so much lately. Need to swap out some of that chicken with other sources!
Best of luck!
@@PawsofPrey i have dog who is itching when eating chicken... is it possible after some time this can stop. If we consider that raw food is natural and can heal different conditions?
Thank you for answering✨🐕💜
@@mislimislimisli3331 if your dog is itchy on chicken I would try removing that protein and feeding something else and see if it resolves! If you mean you want to try raw chicken and see if there's a reaction, sure you can try, but the result still might be the same. I have heard some people say their dog was allergic to cooked chicken but fine on raw chicken. Not sure how true that can be but I have heard it.
Your videos are incredible! Just started transitioning my kitty to raw and learning most of what should be done through you!
I had a question about the protein variety aspect of this diet. It’s only been a few weeks but my cat only seems to like poultry organs. Can the protein variety come just from muscle meat? Or does it have to be varied with organs as well?
I tried giving him pork liver and beef kidney (both of which were very very smelly when prepping lol) and he turned his nose on the whole batch even after trying to give it to him 3 times. Not sure if these specific organs or maybe they were spoiled :/
It not AS crucial, but still beneficial to not only rotate proteins but organ itself (spleen, brain, thymus, pancreas, testicle, etc) maybe you would have better luck with one of these organs from another animal? They're difficult to source locally but Raw Feeding Miami and Top Quality Dog Food has a good selection!
Question, how do you get the chicken heads and feet so clean and ready to eat looking?
Do you recommend any online sources for whole prey?
My cat just got blood work done and her potassium was low. Online says salmon and lamb are good for that. I would like to know your thoughts.
I understand the need to vary the proteins my cat ingests, but I still have a question!
If I’m feeding different muscle meats every day (pork, fresh mackerel, chicken, quail) can I continue to give him the same type of liver meat for a month or so? I have trouble finding organ meat in smaller quantities so I currently have 500 grams of chicken liver I’m slowly feeding my cat. Tomorrow I will be getting some kidney as a second secreting organ, but I want to know if I need to vary the organ meat species often if I’m already changing up the muscle meats and raw meaty bones daily.
i know this is an old video but maybe you will see this. If i have a grind that is primarily chicken for muscle meat, then beef heart, and pork liver, would this be suitable for long term or should i rotate the main protein? I am new to raw feeding and just want to know im making an informed decision before i start
Great video and quick question. Is it safe to use beef heart as the main source of beef muscle meats in my dogs diet? She LOVES a beef heart and eats roughly 1.5 lbs per day, probably 8-10oz coming from beef heart. I mix up the proteins but whenever I give her beef, it’s usually heart. Is this safe?
Heart shouldn't make up more than 15% of the muscle meat portion!
Im still unsuccessfull on whole prey or parts with fur. Oh tongue i saw tht il get it next time. Question i saw they sell blood would that have a place in raw food ?
And what about beef tendons ?
I dont have acess to lsmb or duck and turkey for some reason isnt sold raw. The big turkeys r always salted.
Blood is part of what makes the entire prey animal balanced, so adding a little to the diet if you can get some is great to do! Tendons aren't nutrient dense but fine to feed. I like to dehydrate them! If you don't have access to much meat, just do the best you can with what you have, or order them online if you are in the US! Raw Feeding Miami, Top Quality Dog Food, and My Pet Carnivore all have a great selection.
Does one of your raw suppliers carry turkey liver? I have looked everywhere for it but can't find it...
I've seen people add carrots, pumpkin and potatoes to homemade cat food... is that something you're supposed to do😂
No! Cats are obligate carnivores and don't have the ability to properly digest nor utilize fruits, vegetables, grains, or starches.
I found a pre-made barf diet and they have different flavors lamb, turkey, beef, duck, and chicken is it okay if I alter which one I feed daily? And add things like fish and wheat-grass along with mussels?
Absolutely!
I’d do your research on the brand! Premade is great and convenient but even they can have weird unbalanced meals, a lot of premade are high in bone! So it may not hurt to add the occasional chunk of meat in there too!
Can you make a balanced PMR Diet from mutton, Duck and quail please I can't afford much whole food which you have listed in your other videos, like kelp, I my country kelp should be imported and is very expensive, I can't find Lipped muscles as well in my country and area.
Do you have a discord for raw feeding for your community?
I don't (*o*)
I’m currently transitioning my cat and we just started transitioning into pork/beef - I’ve had no issues except for he started dry heaving(during the pork phase) and now this morning he threw up all of his food(it wasn’t digested) and this was the first time I’d introduced beef. I think he’s allergic - before I adopted him they only fed him food with chicken as the main ingredient since he would throw up anything else but they didn’t think he was allergic, just picky. How can I supplement vitamins and continue to just feed him chicken?
If he's allergic to beef, you can certainly feed other meats, not just chicken! Unless you've ruled out an allergy for each protein. Try lamb, rabbit, turkey, bison, quail, ect !
Is this true for all kinds of raw diets? Like even the commercial frozen raw pet foods that are supposed to be complete and balanced? Would they end up being deficient in certain nutrients as well?
If the commercial raw is actually balanced then there shouldn't be any risks of deficiencies.
I am a super big fan and was wondering of you could switch up some of the content and do things like 'how to properly exercise your dog' or 'ferret cadge setup' ect
thanks for your hard work !!
I've definitely thought about it! Probably some time in the future!
@@PawsofPrey thanks. and even if you don't your channel is still one of my faverouites.
Hello,
I'm starting my new kitten on transition to raw. Right now my recipe is 1/2 Raw, 1/2 quality canned wet. Is it possible to stay on this combo for life for healthy results? Right now I'm doing chicken gizzard, chicken heart, chicken liver, egg yoke and canned sardine in water as my raw portion. Will look into slowing adding other meats, like beef and turkey...but was hoping to keep the commercial canned as a permanent mix in option.
Thoughts?
If you're doing 1/2 and 1/2 the raw meals need to be balanced. So you do need to ad a raw meaty bone in there as well as liver and a second secreting organ! Also need some whole foods to fill nutritional gaps. I go over that here: ua-cam.com/video/GL49ai0W92c/v-deo.html
The Primal Pack
Thank you, very helpful. I forgot to mention I do also add in a feline multivitamin powder + probiotic powder. I thought the sardine bones would count?
@@caroleehubbard8380 sardine bones are hardly anything, really. To get sufficient calcium/phosphorus you need to feed a bit more bone. Chicken necks are great if you could find those. Also chicken/duck/rabbit feet or ribs
My puppy scratches but not a lot. Does this mean he’s allergic to chicken? He doesn’t have fleas or ticks. What are the other signs that he’s allergic to chicken aside from itching? Im currently feeding him chicken wing (for RMB). I’m buying pork and beef tomorrow. I’m planning to feed him pork for a week and beef for another week.
To know for sure, stop feeding chicken for a few weeks and see if the itching stops!
my dog has an inflammatory response with chicken. swollen paws and red spots under the armpit. am i supposed to eliminate it or feed it with omega 3's all the time? i would really like to reintroduce it in the future because it's an inexpensive source
Did you ever get an answer?
i think he is allergic to heat @@dalebailey754
Any suitable diet for cat that currently having UTI problem? 😭😭 Hope you can help me.
A UTI needs to be treated before it gets any worse, however switching to a moisture dense raw diet helps with UTIs tremendously! Is your cat on raw currently?
@@PawsofPrey my cat just started this raw diet. It's been 2 days already. Since he needs more moisture, i mix it with abit of canned food with water. Can i give more red meat (beef) into the raw diet or any other raw stuff? For replenish more moisture for UTI problems.
@@MiMi-ci3rt read meat is always better! But you can also add bone broth for added moisture as well.
I have a jack russell terrier. Are turkey neck bones too strong for him, or should I just stick to chicken necks?
They're decently thick, I'd stick with chicken and duck necks!
Can you do a video on egg shells for dog? And all the properties of the shell + membrane?
What do you think of adding blood to their diets since the meat we give them are de-blooded? Is it ok if it's cooked? it's hard to find it raw.
Ughhh... One of my friends knows I feed my dog's raw but had no idea HOW I make the meals.. he started tossing his dog just a bowl of meat daily and thought he was doing it right🤦 day one- JUST chicken, day 2- JUST chopped up beef, that was his idea of raw feeding.. dog did ok for about 2 months then you could see the issues coming to surface.. vitamin deficiencies will cause ALLLL kinds of issues
That stresses me out! lol. Hope the diet has been fixed
@@PawsofPrey it's MUCH better now! He thankfully didn't cause any SERIOUS issues and the dog bounced RIGHT back once it had "proper" meals for a bit
Any tips on getting ur dog to eat raw bones. I have a 60 pound mixed-breed and he loves chews like bully sticks but he refuses to eat raw bones. I have tried giving him chicken and duck feet and chicken wing and I have also tried cutting the bones into smaller pieces but he still refuses
Wht i did for a small dog is lightly cook the outside in low heat in water only enough to cook the outside not the inside meat or bone. Been about a month now she began to chew chicken bone.
@@Fire91ful be careful cooked bone can be dangerous
Try soaking the bones in bone broth! If that doesn’t work I would grind it into a protein they enjoy
@@iguana580 thats why i specifically said low heat just enough for the outside to cook not the inside. And its still completely raw.
Something that others have had success in is holding one side of the bone and letting the dog chew on the other side. It will trigger their instinct to chew and then they will realize it's food!
is it okay to feed mostly 2 proteins (like beef and chicken, 3 if you include fish)?and than sometimes add other proteins?
Fish shouldn't be counted into the muscle meat portion because it doesn't hold much nutrient value other than providing omega-3s. But if 2 is all you can do and you add a 3rd every now and then that's fine if you are balancing the meals and filling nutritional gaps accordingly!
The more I watch the more terrified I become about what I could be doing wrong and the more I want to go back to kibble. I have watched at least 100 videos and have found nothing that made me feel comfortable. Its so much to remember and I am not rich. I'm afraid I'm going to leave something out or put to much of something in and hurt or kill my dog.
Yeah, the raw diet movement can be its own worst enemy. I’m new to this, too. I’m going to just make sure I get as much variety at each meal as possible, and rotate the sources when I feed and see how it goes. It takes time for deficiencies to show up in a lab result, so I will wait 3-4 months and then order a nutrient panel from my vet to see what I need to be adding.
Is there a way to feed your cat one type of boneless meat with added supplements?
Why though? You would need to get so many to cover gaps and there are many vitamins that are easy to overdose. Getting these vitamins and minerals are so much better from fresh whole foods than from synthetic vitamins.
@@PawsofPrey i was actually curious about this too solely because before i found your channel i joined a fb gc for raw feeding cats, and many of them simply take boneless chicken (or pork/beef) and then add a supplement like EZcomplete. i understand the way you do it is so much healthier, i was just curious about your opinion on this.
Hahah I'm trying to make a "transition meal" with all chicken and I'm always short on copper no matter what I try. 😂
When I buyed wild caught duck for my dog, It was more red than beef!
my kitten eats fancy feast, i think that stuff has all the animals in it 🥴
Anything about Whey Protein please?
100%
While I generally agree that feeding a variety of proteins can be beneficial the idea that you can only get your pets RDA simply by combining a bunch of protein sources is faulty logic in of its self. As long you are taking a methodical approach and ensuring you are meeting those RDA you will be ok regardless of sources you choose.
For example my biggest concern with feeding myself and my family (yes my dog) is that I can do so sustainable. I have found that whole rabbit and duck eggs is the easiest, most sustainable simply way to feed my dog (English/Bullmastiff) that meets all her requirements set forth by the NRC and AAFCO.
Overall good video.
I certainly agree! Even if you're feeding a variety of animal proteins, it still wont meet their RDA, which is why raw feeders add fresh whole foods to fill nutritional gaps. However, feeding a variety of at least 3 protein sources does help reach those numbers a bit easier.
@@PawsofPrey What do you believe are the best three protein sources for raw feeding?
Rip my boy arnold 1:22
So my sister's dog can't eat anything but fish, does that mean she can't try the raw diet?
What does that mean? You've tried every raw protein? What happens?
@@PawsofPrey she is allergic to pretty much every protein besides fish
@@tigerlillystar6143 So even when eating kibble she is showing allergic reactions? And she's tried proteins like duck, rabbit, bison, etc? If so, feeding only fish isn't good enough to supply near enough nutrients she would need.
@@PawsofPrey yes even with kibble, that's what I figured. Thank you for the reply!
