You should make weekly or monthly videos of u meal prepping, I would love that.
Same!
Yep I’d love that too!
Yea samw
Yessss pleasee
Agreed!
You are so right about the bones.
My dog chip his tooth on a pork bone.
The only bones my dogs get are poultry bones or rabbit Bones ,rib bones of goat,sheep and deer. Only the rib bones. They love it. I aim for a rib bone or two for their calicum needs and then deer or beef muscle meet,eggs and live and kidney. As well as chicken feet.
Sardines once a week.
Raw goat milk every so often.
Then viggies and fruit as treats.
@@blackberry9110 She literally goes over bones after step 3 and how they chip teeth so right comment for right video lol
@@Mokz121 ugh sorry I replied to the wrong comment. Someone had commented weird stuff not relevant to anything raw feeding or nutrition or even cats and dogs 😑
Will rabbit bones remove tartar?
@@panda_the_mutt1237 any raw meaty bones that is appropriate for their mouth and their size and age and ability to chew removes tartar.
Raw gizzards are great oral treats for cats. For dogs I don't think it will work much.
I never used rabbit bones personally and I see most people feed ground rabbit bones for cats, I think it's good for dogs
Anyone who lives in America Costco has bulk oxtail for a big discount!!!!
Thank you. My dog is transitioning to raw and it is a process. I truly appreciate your content to help us along the way. We are already seeing some benefits (more energy, less "waste")!
HI! I would like to thank you so much for this content! I live in Poland 🇵🇱 and I was searching a lot for some specific information and there was a lots of conflicting information about BARF and RAW feeding😰. Especially when it comes to feeding puppies when I was trying to calculate daily Portion it was so small, 300g of meat per day + bones and organs, and there was information that too much liver is danger for dogs and You should feed with liver max 3 times per week 😟. For me it was really disturbing and I was searching a lot and every BARF calculator comes with the same size. My puppy is 3 months old german shepherd and he is very active and it was definitely to little for him. He was always hungry. THAN I GLADLY FOUNDED YOUR CHANNEL and everything became so clear even for me from foreign country 😃 i love it so much! You are so kind to share this with us! THANK YOU ❤️ THANK YOU 💖 THANK YOU 💖 I'm sending for you a lot of greetings from Poland!🇵🇱 And from my dog too 🐺
for salty canned meats i run them under water to reduce sodium, but i know it's unclear how much sodium is left, but if the sodium is low already and i wash it i think it is ok
That’s a great tip! :D
Yup! Just get cans that say "no salt added" & give them a quick rinse!
Super informative as always!! I feel like I’m always learning something new after each video😬
Thank you for sharing! I was confused about what green tripe was vs what I was seeing in the grocery store for the longest time
Thank you. Most of this I knew but some I did not. Shopping today. Perfect timing
I fully agree with getting the cheap stuff...it's meat & has the exact same properties as the expensive stuff & the critters aren't going to know the the difference...
Thank you for this video! The tip on tripe was very helpful!
Yes thank you!! Unfortunately I was one of those who bought the white tripe. 🤦🏾♀️ I know better now, thank you ❤️
So very, very, helpful. Thank you.
i needed this video! my pets are going raw this summer (when i get a job and have the money) so thank you!☺️
Congrats! 🥳
Absolutely, congrats!
You are awesome! thanks for the information!
you should make a recipe video where you put down the recipes you use (bone broth, special mixes, etc.) sometimes, the recipes you list get lost in other videos so it'd be more convenient to have a separate video for them.
Great info and so nicely voice. Thanks 😊
Thank you for another useful video.
I love your videos so informative.
Could you make a video about vitamins and minerals interactions? Thanks
Thank you! Never knew tripe was bleached. Just thought it was thoroughly rinsed or something.
A great way to start the morning! :D
Extremely helpful video 👍
Places like wefeedraw and primal pet foods have made this process so much easier on me
Thank you for the metric measurements! I'm gonna take credit for that because I was spamming that on your other videos. Hah. Thank you!!
I am still trying to get my cat to eat on a schedule ! Thanks , this helps with my research :)
It's not a good idea getting your kitty on a schedule. Let him be the one who chooses his schedule. My cat wakes me up around 4 am everyday just to let him out to the backyard, an hour later he comes meowing for breakfast around 5 - 5:30 and 7 pm he's ready for dinner (he always meows at me when he's hungry)
Thank you for this video! A bit of an off topic question, but what are some good trustworthy nutrition books based on dog diets? I found some that I signed out from the library to be completely biased on kibble which lead me to be disappointed. I would love to know some of recommendations! Thank you!
Commenting here because I also would like to know
trustworthy is subjective, I think “Give your dog a bone" by Dr Ian Billinghurst is a great read. I just finished the DNM pro raw dog food course and can tell you most blog posts and videos are spot on on how you should be feeding your dog. Keep in mind nutritional values of all the minerals / vitamins / micro+macro nutrients vary depending on each animal (cow to cow, chicken to chicken), on season, on feed, etc, so you can never measure those precisely.
another great video :D
So, I just started my pups on raw feeding. I bought ground beef from the grocery store. Do I need to cook it a little or is it safe to feed it to them straight out the pack?
hi guys! hope all is well. i wanted to know if you guys could do a diy video for training treats for raw fed pets. or also include treats that can be brought in store or online. because i’m confused about weather or not regular treats can be used when training raw fed dogs. thank you!
A treat is a treat. Doesn't matter to the dog. If you want raw treats you can do freeze dried treats.
Check out Walkabout. Vital essentials. Raw paws. Pet tao. K9 naturals. Ziwi to name a few great freeze dried treats.
Is a beef knuckle bone included in the warning against weight bearing bones? I just got one the other day but haven’t given it to my Berger Blanc Suisse yet.
I finally gave in and brought your hoodie it’s gonna remind me why this channel is the best and have the best info on raw diets 😆 and bc raw diets for the win (when it's balanced tho)
What do you suggest for a cat that has only four teeth? She doesn’t really have the power to crunch or grind anything? I feel like the obvious answer would be just anything but stuff with bone but I want those teeth to stay healthy as well!
Hi, I have a question, when you say the tripe is bleached, is it really bleached? I clean tripes all the time and the way to clean off the green is scrap it off, I don’t bleach it, would it still matter in a raw diet for cats?
Looking at a puppy. Glad I found this channel.
Hello! I switched my dog to raw a week ago and started with ground chicken. They have been doing fine and I added a little bit of lean ground meat and my male yorkie had very lose stool. So I removed the ground beef. After a few days added ground turkey and they are both having loose stool and my male yorkie just threw up. I’m not sure what to do. Should I put them back on kibble until there stomachs settle down? And try again? They have never been so excited to eat. They love to eat the raw meat but I’m worried
Man the pain of leaving a store thinking you can get a better deal elsewhere just to drive all around town and end up where you started has made my raw feeding start a little rocky. Also select just varies so much. Today only one place even had hearts but I scored some kidney for the first first time! Then over paid double for oysters! It was a roller coaster😂
I have this app for comparing stores for prices ... time saver
!!!!FYI for many that don't know, most commercial chicken is washed in chlorine as welll!!!! That is why American chicken is banned in the European Union, over 44 countries. Beef can have rectopamine and also can be gassed with ammonia gas, which is why American commercial beef is also banned.
The American Dream
Do you have a video on what raw food you can give yours dogs if you don’t want to have them on a full raw diet? like example I give my dogs some raw wings still with the raw bone to clean their teeth and I also sometime give them sardines not every day and I do sometimes add like different additives in their food like fish oil, eggs, bone broth, I sometimes give them the plain yogurt, also is their any other foods I can add to my dogs kibble?
She does have a video on it.
The sodium note is so important1 My dog has the worlds most sensitive stomach and was having loose stool and reflux which improved when I removed the food I was feeding her that was 24mg per oz (so technically under the limit but barely).
So how do you calculate the sodium? There are chicken thighs for 90 or 95mg there are no brand in my store which sells chicken meat for 20mg sodium
Is 90mg sodium good for cats?
@@yellowhat223 It depends is it 90mg per 4oz? If so that is pretty high. The max suggested is 100mg per 4oz but the lower the better
@@fraliak how can I check
@@fraliak ye u don't know what ur talking about
Is it safe to feed cats with ground turkey that has rosemary extract added?
I just started my Mini Schnauzer pup on Primal Frozen Raw. What do you do to keep bacteria down after he eats? My understanding is that his mouth becomes a petri dish and he tends to give a ton of kisses after a meal. Thoughts?
teeth brushing/dental chews! brush his teeth 10-15 mins after he eats or give him a dental chew as a treat after and it can remove some bacteria!
What do you think about vacuum-packed meat standing in the store in the fridge for 7 days (or longer). Are there any bacteria in that meat to be concern?
I don’t like it... I usually don’t grab anything that’s turning discoloured and I notice that around 3 days on the shelf. Also when you thaw meat it should be fed raw within 3-4 days so I’d stick with the same time frame
@@sofia121121 Thanks for your reply. When I thaw the meat they eat it immediately. I rely on the smell of meat, that's why I asked about vacuumed meat because it doesn't smell very fresh.
I can’t source raw green tripe where I live so can I use k9 natural’s canned green tripe booster/freeze dried or dehydrated green tripe as a replacement for manganese?
www.rawfeedingmiami.com/products/green-tripe-ground?_pos=1&_sid=737e71aa0&_ss=r. Winter is the time to load up. I wouldn’t buy it during the summer. I looked at the canned but didn’t buy it. I forget the reason but there was something I didn’t like about it.
@@Imwright720 i dont live in the states so i cant order from rfm
Can I make some raw portions and froze them and when is time to feed the cat defrost it????
Can you do a video about good raw treats for catos ?
Is it okay for me to feed my kitties steamed fresh oysters/mussels and raw mackerels instead of canned?🙈 will that affect the daily sodium intake? Thank you!!
As long as they're fresh and you're conscious of how they've been packaged or preserved, I don't see why you couldn't feed them fresh instead of canned. It even sounds preferable.
Most fish has to be frozen for a certain period of time to kill off necessary bacteria, I’m not sure about the specifics of mackerel and oysters but fresh is always better than canned IMO, just double check for the safety
Try raw meats instead because it could affect there sodium intake..
@@sofia121121 not bacteria, potential parasites. And fresh being always better than canned/cooked is not always true, due to some raw fish and seafood having parasites and thiaminase in them. So sometimes canned fish and seafood will be the safer option.
Does anyone have a meat list for cats?
If your dog has allergies like chicken and beef where would you suggest buying your proteins from?
I suggest buying ONLY completely grass fed and grass finished meats. Especially chicken & beef ! I've had dogs that the vet told me had "chicken allergies" BUT ! Another vet, recommended trying all organic/grass fed meats & see what happened. So I i did ! Turned out, my dog wasn't allergic to chicken at all.. was just the traces of corn & other grains that stay within the meats if that's what the animals are raised on..
How much amount of raw food do you feed a puppy? 10% of her weight per day? It seems a lot to me.
I've heard from some places that it's not safe to feed ground meat from the grocery store because it has a higher surface area for bacterial growth. Is that true or is it okay to feed my pet ground beef and stuff? :)
Technically yes that is true but if it’s sold for human consumption it will be safe for dogs!
So I've heard this too but I also think it has to do with the way its stored. So if you have meat laying out all day then yeah they can get sick but if you know your dog eats the food right away then I would go ahead with it. I've used ground beef for my dog and he's been fine with it. Just don't leave it out for a long time or let it get warm.
Think about it. We can eat raw meat too but it has to be at a certain temperature. Idk about chicken but i know people who gave eaten raw beef or pork.
can i start my puppy pitbull on a raw feed when they get home for the first time before their first vet appointment?
@Esther Wilmot oh okay thank you very much that helped alot !!
Is sirloin tip from beef and tenderloin from dog good part to get for my cat?
My dog has now transitioned to a balanced meat based diet, but is it normal for her anal glands to be itchy at first due her pooping only once a day? Is this normal or should I consider adding in a pumpkin based supplement to firm up her stool? It’s not watery or loose though. She is on a commercial diet btw not homemade
check the ingredients. make sure it has enough dietary fiber, if it does have enough try the pumpkin and if it doesn't I would contact your vet
Grass fed grass finished or 100% grass fed, wild caught seafood, pasture raised meats and eggs, for your carnivore pets. Don't forget the green tripe.
How many days we want to freeze the meat Before giving to my dane..
Depends on what meat you give your dog
I was on vacation in france....they had stew meat for 1,50 €/kg. My dog gained some weight....
Just wash the salty brine out of the canned fish with fresh water. Rinse as often as needed.
So would it be safer to just order from raw feeding sites?
Not necessarily no! I shop at grocery stores and markets all the time. Just need to look out for these few things
I thought ground meats from reputable raw feeding suppliers is flash frozen or even ground frozen vs. grocery store ground meats. I thought the bacterial load of ground meats from the store are higher which does not matter if you cook it. I have never fed mine ground meat from the grocery store. I do have some ground venison someone gave me and even wondering about that. So is ground meat from the grocery store okay?
Wouldn't it be better to blend all of raw food ?
I know logically it's Kara Ghee Nan but damn it sure is Kara G nan in my head.
I’m not gonna lie my dogs all get a special Christmas meal with my raw fed puppy she gets fancy cuts of meat fixed with cheaper to make up the weight. Then my kibble dogs get a small filet in the meal
I've seen some cuts around, but I don't trust their safety.
Oh no way! My staffy has had half a cow femur at least twice a year her whole life! Guess I'll be sticking to chicken necks now!
Every other video is saying to include 10 bone, why? What’s your take on this ? Or only some bones?
Is not 10 bone is 10% of bone
Bones are great for dogs, when they become a choking hazard is when they’re cooked
Do I need to wash the raw meat first?
Nope! Not unless it's physically dirty, like from a hunted animal that has dirt on it.
I’m trying to feed my cat half raw and kibble but she seem despise raw food. I'm desperate because kibble has made her gain lot of weight and bad breath 😔😔
try boiling the meat that your giving her a little less each day until its completely raw ex: 90% then 80% then 70%...etc until its completely raw, and praise her when she eat it
I got my cats to eat raw my first feeding them twice a day kibble. Then I started transitioning them until they were eating twice a day canned. Then I started mixing the raw with the canned. Eventually just raw twice a day. Took a couple months.
@@nogames8982 Thanks!! That's a really good idea!
Do not feed kibble
At least feed ur cat can food
They need the moisture. As it is
Cats don't get enough water
My Corso eats both beef and chicken bones. Raw of course! That’s how they get their calcium.
Why they add Sodium to the food?!
You realize , your pets eat a better diet than the average adult person ? There is stuff in there that hardly anyone can afford anymore .
you’re saying people can’t afford raw meat or canned oysters? neither of those things are particularly expensive.
If you feed your dog/cat anything but raw meat, YOU DON'T DESERVE A PET !!!! Great video!!!!
I'm so glad where I live you can get uncleaned tripe at the grocery store and slaughter houses
I don't agree with you on the bones.. my dogs love turkey neck bones duck neck bones Buffalo neck bones and beef neck bones any rawbone is good for your dog specially for their teeth. Cooked bones and dehydrated bones are bad. And if you go to your local pet store you could find them all and you can as well find pure green tripe in the freezer section
Larger bones like beef and buffalo neck bones are fine for chewing on to scrape tartar off the teeth, but not safe to break down and consume. They're very dense
This is why people aren't feeding raw...it's so much but are told it's "easy". Yea, it's easy after you know what you're getting...
If you want to feed Raw and it's too overwhelming just buy a good premade raw food. Then if you want to make it yourself you can slowly do that. You don't have to get super technical. 80% muscle meat 10% bone and 10% see creed in Oregon meat. Depending on the model you follow you can do 10 to 20% of fruits and veggies also.
Carrageenen is in tons of vegan food. There is nooooo way it could be bad. Lol
JUST DRAIN THE CAN
Hm? If you're talking about canned fish in anything other than water, you do know the seafood is still literally soaked in it and it's not that simple 😬 just get it canned in water.
I’ll get the meat from my butcher ~
I love your branding and illustrations! Do you have a website? Do you _want_ a website? (an offer from a web developer... my website is gigi.art )
i would never buy green trip it stinks. i wouldn't even feed it to my dog no matter how good it's for them.
If it’s not good for animals this ain’t good for people!
No idea what you look like but in my mind there is no way you are not Anna Kendrick, for some reason u sound just like her to me for some reason .
LOL I'm not sure if this is a good thing 😅
@@PawsofPrey google her , it’s definitely a good thing
1 thing to avoid when buying pet food …..anything raw
You should just never feed your dog, canned meat, or meat with added salt. PERIOD! There is MORE then enough sodium, naturally in food for dogs. These suggestions are silly, and misleading. You shouldn't check for the can with less sodium, JUST DONT GIVE YOUR DOG CANNED MEAT! That defeats the purpose of real, fresh food! Canned food, is on the shelf, just as long as commercial dog food. If your feeding canned food, you might as well just give them commercial dog food!
If you want to feed your dog raw meat never ever buy feed raw meat from the butchers or supermarket there are companies that supply raw frozen meat for dogs that have been frozen to the correct temperature to kill salmonella and other harmful bacteria., that could make your dog very ill .this person is giving out very dangerous information and should do some more study on the subject.
Interesting?? Even if you freeze it or are you saying it's bad in general how do you know this just curious?? My local butcher sells meat specifically for dogs like a mix should I not use this ????
