- What's the weirdest raw food you've ever fed?
This was a fun little game, and a great way to see who would like each part in their next meal prep, lol. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Choji and Matsu looking at the beef eye: Ok, I may be a garbage disposal but this is where I draw the line.
LOL
Haha lol
Should definitely make this a series
When I give my dog a new raw meat, she's usually a bit skeptical at first. But if I introduce small amounts of it with her other food, she gets used to it and soon gobbles it up.
Loved the video!!
We go to a sushi resturant near our house to pick up salmon heads as they don't use those, they source fresh whole fish so we take it home, clean it, cut off pieces and freeze them before feeding it to my dog. It's a great way to reduce food waste as they would of thrown it out and what's even better, IT'S FREE!?!?! They don't mind us picking up some salmon heads once every week or so
What an awesome dynamic!! Perfect for everyone haha
I thought feeding raw fish was a no-no because of potential parasites/bacteria?
@@kristinae.7084 Yes that is a risk, for that we leave it in the freezer under -15C for a week sometimes more, doesnt mean there is no chance for bacteria and parasite, we also make sure she gets dewormed and check for changes everyday.
I used to work at a garden center where we had community cats. One morning when I arrived, I looked down to discover a half-eaten frog. It seems some cat enjoyed frog legs for breakfast!
I just got a Tri colored merle English bulldog, she is 4 months old and the previous owners were feeding her benefit. Your videos have been so helpful in me switching her to all raw food diet and wanted to say thank you. Its amazing how much she has changed in just 3 weeks of a change, her coat is smooth and sheds less. you can see muscles building on her legs and according to the vet she is one of the most healthier bulldogs she has ever seen.
That's so great, I love that you're seeing improvements :) I'm glad I could help!
Beniful kibble and in tubs, never will I make that mistake again! Awful!
The eyeballs made me wanna barf! Fear factor food!
Tangy's reactions to the meat are so cute and I laugh each time when Matsu takes the chunk out of his plate. One of my cats does exactly the same thing. He has to pull every piece of his chunks out of his plate to finish🤣 My two cats love frog legs and duck tongue. Similar with Matsu, they love anything that is crunchy when chewing on. They would keep growling while eating frog legs to guard their food even though no one would actually grab it from them😅I tried beef ovaries from rfm once with them and they loved it. Their other favorite weird option would be camel. They loved it so much that we eventually used it to make their birthday "cake". Wanna get them to try pig snouts next time🤩
Haha animals are so funny with their food. I have yet to get camel but I'd love to see if the boys like it!
Here in New Zealand there are a few "weird" options available from time to time , most of which are pest species or unusual farmed animals. Some of the weirder ones my dog has tried include: alpaca (farmd for wool), peacock (pest, wild caught), and possum (pest, wild caught). My dog loves everything but possum which has a strange musty smell. Horse meat and venison is pretty common too but I think those are more "normal" options.
So interesting! Peacock is a pest? I would have never guessed that lol
New Zealand has very unique animal/plant biodiversity, so anything that was introduced when Europeans arrived that isn't farmed is considered a pest. There were a lot of game mammals (deer, hymalayan tahr, chamois, wild pig, goat, sheep, rabbit, hare, wallaby, possum) and some birds (introduced duck, peacock, canada goose etc.) that were introduced and have exploded in numbers because they are no natural predators here. So people hunt them and sell them to raw pet food stores :)
It is a bit strange because some of the Australian species (possum and wallaby) are protected in Australia, but are absolute menaces to the NZ flora/fauna, and are allowed to be hunted.
Peacock is pretty lean and kinda like turkey I think? I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them visually. I haven't tried it myself so maybe it tastes different lol
Omg I’m in NZ too!! Do you mind where you can get your hands on those items? I struggle so much to find them to give my dog more varieties
@@wendyyang7846 It's so awesome to find a fellow kiwi! I live in Christchurch and there are a few raw pet food stores I go to. Where abouts in NZ do you live? I know options vary depending on where you live.
@@ciwefagomal I know!! I was so surprised to see another kiwi in the comment. I always envy people from the US being able to find so many different things to feed their fur baby while I’m stuck with kidney, brain and liver for secreting organs only. I’m in Wellington, got raw essentials here but they only sell premixed stuff not really a place to shop for the ingredients:(
Also a local company makes a canned cat food where the main ingredient is mice. I get that for her occasionally as a treat. She loves it.
Whoaa, what's the brand?
I very much doubt my cat would eat any of this stuff..
But I think he would if I disguised it within ground chicken that usually works.
I knew the kitty would love the pork snout 🤣 kitties are notorious for liking the least nutritious food.
LOL isn't that the truth
Tangy is definitely named after the Animal crew character
No lamb testicles
My Bernedoodle eats Pork snout, so I guess it's just popular among all animals. Will have to find some tongue. Other stuff we have tried is goat testicles, he ate those. Whole duck head, that was interesting.
My cane corso puppy just got her first whole duck head the other day - she LOVED it! I was lucky enough to find one with the feathers still in tact, and I was sure she wouldn't like it because of that, but I was pleasantly surprised!
Yeah those are pretty unique parts!
Thankfully, living in Japan gives me a wide variety of fish and chicken parts but not beef. I am curious about eyeball haha. There are some organ meats in almost all stores but it's only liver, gizzards, and sometimes the heart.
There are a lot of fish I found out Japanese people will give when they feed raw. Natto is also something our dog loves! I am trying to remember if natto can be found in markets in the US.
such an adorable, fun video, thank you!
Great video! Loved this format! 💕
Thank you!!
Oooo we *love* all of these .. when we can get them. Our cat friend, Furby, (RIP March 1, 2022 😢) would have had *no* problem eating all of those items.
I'm so happy to have found your channel! I have a new kitten that I want to feed a species appropriate diet. You've helped me learn so much!
I'm so glad :')
Love all your videos, and I love Matsu's eyes!
Thank you
Calico dog looks grt
Choji ..a man after my own heart.❤ I love getting a couple of “weird” things in each of my shipments. RFM has a huge variety of choices. I would love to talk to the person whose job it is to do the photography 😊. I got frog legs and beef ovaries, as my “weird” choices in my last order. My ragdoll cat loved them and It keeps things interesting for him…and me too. Love your videos…you have been my guide through the prey model diet. Ty so much!
Loved this video! It made me laugh a few time 😂
This video is so underrated
I eat frog legs in the restaurant as a delicacy in Oakland with rice. I hope pets would love this delicacy. Dog loves to eat most parts of animal organs.
This was so cute 🥰
Quick question! Are freeze-dried mussels safe for dogs?? Does it have the same affect as cooking mussels?
I give my dog super snouts green mussel powder, From what I’ve read and the responses I’ve gotten when I’ve asked professionals is that it’s a good option! I do believe it’s freeze dried before turned into a powder.
Freeze dried mussels are fine to feed! I'd rehydrate them though
Tangy said how dare you give me this filth? 🤣🤣🤣
LOLLL
I get wild game for my cat at a local pet store: antelope, elk, Guinea fowl, things not at a typical supermarket
That's awesome! I'd love to source that kind of game meat
I love this
This was so informative! Could you do a video for heart health as well please? So many dogs suffer from heart problems 😢
Cutest video ever! 🥰
My cats eat frog legs with no issues, but he's a Garfield cat so he will pretty much try anything. But it's definitely nice since I don't have much options for raw meaty bones. So I used frogs legs for one week of meal preparation and chicken wings for the next week. I hope I can get chicken necks in the future, my grocery store stocks them but haven't gotten them in for awhile.
My local grocery store is used to carry some of these but now you can't even find chicken necks. It is so frustrating. I so wish there was an Asian market in my town.
Mariah: Let's see if my pets will eat these parts!
Me: If they don't, can I have them? Yum!
Lol gotta love that dogs just drag their food all over creation! Also, I like these plates you're using - where did you get them?
Right, gotta make my life difficult. And I usually get most of my plates from Target lol!
I’m curious to know your opinion on the use of eggshell to replace raw meaty bone in raw cat food recipes? I’ve seen a lot of people use this
Masago…sounds delicious…
I'm fortunate to have a raw feed store close to home and they have many individual parts for DIY raw feeders like myself. I was able to get hold of whole duck heads to try and make my pets' meals more complete. My dog LOVES duck heads, my cat, not so much.
Lucky! I wish I could find duck heads locally!
Maybe try cooking the eyeball in water or bone broth, my dachshund loves it after i cook salmon eyeball with it.
Just not raw though haha
Omg i love your animals so much
Aw thank you hehe
Why does Duck Tongue sound like an insult someone would say if they were just cut off in traffic
Phantom is a huge fan of game meat and will eat just about anything! Except for sardines. For some reason that is the one thing that he is just not keen on at all! He prefers seafood in general so it was a shock the first time I fed it and there was fish left in the bowl.
How weird! Raw and canned?
Tangy is a literal DIVA, like my dog. She hate anything weird, even a liver is a no 😢😢😢
My German shepherd would inhale all of that lol weirdest thing she’s had is hard to say, she’s had pretty much every part of an animal except things like uterus.. she’s had walleye fresh from Lake Erie a few times and squirrel!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for the dog meal formulator… saved my dog’s skin because he was missing so many nutrients. I wanted to ask if you recommend anything else aside from vegetables to harden poop he doesn’t like veggies
You are very welcome I'm so glad it has helped! If the stool is too loose, it may be too much organ, not enough bone, a food intolerance, and a multitude of other things. If you just need the stool to bulk up a bit, psyllium husk is also helpful. Start at 1/4 tsp.
@@PawsofPrey thank you so much 💕
When my doggy gets loose stools or diarrhea, the first thing I give is Boiron Arsenicum 30C (you can buy this at Sprouts or online). Works like a charm!
I also add organic canned pumpkin puree mixed with some probiotic (Adored Beast Gut Soothe or Four Leaf Rover S. Boulardii). You can use slippery elm as well.
Hi Mariah! :o I had a question since I’m a beginner to raw feeding my dog, is it necessary to take him to vets more often to get him checked? I’m just very anxious about parasites or any bad bacteria in him!
Tangy being cat 😹😹😹😹
Absolutely lol....
Hi Mariah, I was wondering whether you have any thoughts on cooked diet vs raw diet (assuming both are balanced). Are there any differences in the bioavailability of nutrients? And what are the considerations pet owners should think of when choosing which diet is best for their dog? Sorry if this has been posted/answered before and thanks!
I do have a video about it! ua-cam.com/video/n7Vs3NjCmJU/v-deo.html
beef and pork intestines, rabbit ear, quail..
I've fed the ear and quail before, but I've never found intestines before actually
As a Chinese/Asian, none of these parts/ingredients is weird to me. Lol
Heyo, are chicken backs (like the spine and flesh around it) ok for cats? I haven’t been able to find chicken necks yet but I want to give them something with small bones
I fed alligator, ostrich, wild boar, and others
Duck heads is the weirdest I've fed!
I think YT Heard my thoughts!! I was shopping today and was wondering about frog legs. Have you ever fed Balut?
Definitely the weirdest one I've fed is a beef testicle.
Duck tongue for sure
My pupper eats beef eyeballs! He was reluctant at first but the 3rd go around of one being in his meal he ate it. He won't eat it if it's cut up though.
Matsu actually ate the eyes eventually lol! But after it was cut up...which sucked for me
Where do you buy eyeballs from? Raw Feeding Miami?
Hey I have a question, I have a 33LB puppy at around 10 months old, he is a male golden doodle with an adult estimated size of 30-35 pounds, I am doing some research to see if I will feed my pup a raw diet, the question is how much raw food do you think I should feed him daily? Thanks
Could you review the Know Better cat food powder that is added to cooked or raw meat?
I have to say this, Frog has so many parasite that frozen can not kill it, sometimes even boiling cannot kills it, thats why even its not recommended for human cooking food. You do a lot great videos but try not feed them frog, if you want to do some wild game you can try venison/ bison/ kangaroo from good quality stores.
I haven't tried or seen a lot of these. I have given rocky mountain oysters and uteri, I've given lamb brain - that was hard to find but I did get it once. And frog legs are somewhat regular in our RMB / toothbrushes (as I refer to them with my kids) because my pugs like them
Lots of great parts! I wish I had more brain available around me
Frog legs are tasty!
Hi Mariah, is high purine food harmful for dogs?
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?
Any chance you could send us links to where we can find these raw foods?
One of my dogs will eat anything (he once ate the inner part of a cob of corn and needed operation to get it out of his tummy and he ate a bag of plastic once) but the other accepts wierd food her mouth, walks away with it and lays it down there then come back to us. Almost like she is protecting us from it🙈
My Asian store doesn't have the stuff. I'm in Alabama. Where'd you live where the Asian store provide those?
Eyeballs for sure. Just curious. What type of dog is matsu. He’s really beautiful!
Thank you! Pembroke corgi cardigan corgi cross
I’m so envious of your meat stores over in the US 🫤
Cough cough bat meaaaat
Ok now that's new O__O
Is it OK to feed fish eggs raw? No chance of parasites/bacteria?
Can you PLEASE make a vid of everything my dog must have apart of their raw diet so nothing is left out
My dog would probably inhale all of these. If it's edible, it goes down the hatch. Damn, it doesn't even have to be edible for her sometimes😅
Except raw carrots. She thinks those are disgusting.
we actually did feed frog legs to choji when he was a baby before he even had eyes! we have a video of it.
It's a journey and it doesn't happen overnight, but I know you can get there!
The weirdest cut of meat that my dog has eaten has got to be pork uterus! I was actually very surprised when he ate it because of how slimy and awful smelling it is, but he seemed to enjoy it! Meanwhile, his older brother and younger sister didn't like it so I dehydrated it into treats and they finally ate it. It probably won't be a cut that I'll feed again because of how expensive it is to source in my area and the smell of it (not to mention 2 out of 3 dogs didn't care for it much), but it was a nice little treat for this occasion :)
Ah yes I saw this too! But decided against it since it's expensive and I haven't found any nutrition data on it.
@@PawsofPrey Talking about uterus, when I went on a house call with the farm vet (for calving and drawing bloods) there were dogs on that farm that eat the placenta of the newborn calves. (dairy farm)
I’ve never sourced duck tongues before, I’ve got to try those on the cats and reptiles!
My kitties and dogs love eyeballs and frog legs btw, wanna send me a gift basket? 🤣
LOL you're welcome to have some eyeballs!! The ferrets are holding the legs hostage haha
@@PawsofPrey Haha I bet!
It’s so funny what some of them will randomly be picky about! For instance one of our dogs is a total vacuum cleaner but won’t touch finely ground raw (think Darwin’s consistency)! I guess that one’s a texture thing. Meanwhile the weirdest thing I’ve ever fed was beaver tail from MPC and literally every animal here loved it, even our pickiest kitty 😅
@@taracornell9093 Omg lol! I really wanted the boys to try their beaver tail, I should order from them soon
@@PawsofPrey it’s definitely worth a try at least once! Even if it is more of a treat, it was so fun to see everyone’s reactions!
Where do you buy them from?
She gets them from the local Asian supermarket and online at Raw Feeding Miami. There are other online stores as well.
Tangy seems to be the pickiest eater of your three pets 🐱.He has a very discerning palette 🤔. The beef eyes looked pretty weird (not gonna lie). No wonder there were no takers 😂. What other weird raw parts have you fed your furkiddos?
Haha he can either be a pig or a sceptic, it's never in the middle! And it depends on what you call weird I guess lol. Brains, tongues, tracheas, gullets, underdeveloped egg embryos, heads, oxlips, pizzle...etc
@@PawsofPrey haha! 🤣We love seeing your furkiddo's gastronomic adventures.
Can doggy eat human’s meat like sell in the better grocery store like whole food? or have to be like raw Miami source?
Yes, they can! Human grade meat and organs are better than “pet grade”. If you can buy grass fed, grass finished meat and pasture raised poultry, that would give more nutritional value than factory farmed, antibiotic injected animals.
My pets eat dinosaurus
how long do i have to freeze raw frog for it to be safe?
You shouldn't have to if it's sold for human consumption/from Raw Feeding Miami
Rabbit and ostrich are two things I occasionally feed my domesticated obligate carnivores (cats). Along with pheasant eggs, trout eggs, mussels and mutton heart and kidneys. The only thing they categorically don't like is lung (which surprised my butcher), and I have not yet tried testicles.
You give a vast variety! That's great!
@@PawsofPrey Thank you, but some of it is just a question of where one lives and one's habits. Here in France there is still a local butcher in every village, and butcter shops on every block in cities. So it's pretty easy to find variety. Plus, my kitties are lucky because I'm a carnivore and feed them the same food I eat. My two latest family members (Lilas and Linou, both mixed breed rescues) are 5 months old and weigh 7.5 and 6.5 pounds, respectively. Little monsters!
@@PawsofPrey I have seen it! It’s called “Mouser”
Oh and what the heck do they use duck tongue for?
I wish I could feed Odin pork because he loves it but he is super allergic to it 🥺 I am just getting started on feed raw food for my dogs but there is so much information I get so confused. I know that it’s not as complicated as I make it so hopefully I can figure it out 🤞 because I don’t want to feed them kibble anymore
Kibble causes cancer. ANYTHING else is better.
It's a journey and doesn't happen overnight, but I know you can get there!
What about lungs? Any nutritive value for dogs? I grew my own food and harvest organs with the meat. I currently feed lungs to my dog, but is it worth it? They're like marshmallows.
Marshmallow is the perfect way to describe their texture! Yes they do have some nutritive value but not chock full. Mainly selenium and iron
5:33 it looks like something out of a bushtucker trial, gross! 🤢
Does anyone have a first time buyer coupon code for RFM? Please and thank you! 🙏
I do! Just click the Raw Feeding Miami link on my linktree linktr.ee/theprimalpack
@@PawsofPrey thanks, someone else beat you to the punch 🥊! I just placed my order 2 hours ago.
seems like they could be chopped up first as an intro? i had to flash boil pork uterus for my dog to eat it
Yep smaller pieces did the trick later on!
Chicken proventriculus🙄
Yuuuuuck haha
I fed my extremely picky puppy a whole pigs head (cut in half), he loved it, took him 3 sessions to finish the half. He didn't know that it was food at first.
That's amazing!
Bc pork eats any kind of junk, I would personally refrain from feeding those if I had a say. Just speaking Respectfully ❤️ not speaking against you or your wisdom in any way. 😊
Please do not feed your dog raw pork! That' s extremely dangerous!!
I talk about pork in this video, and when it's safe to feed. ua-cam.com/video/4OfcZMQ3TVs/v-deo.html
