Something I really love about you is that you freely acknowledge to the fact that you are always learning and therefore sometimes may change your opinion on what you have said in the past.
Most people would stick their guns (even if they’re wrong), or just outright ignore the new information.
Thank you for all the research you do and videos you make to help us do our best by our furry children. ❤❤❤
I really appreciate that! We are all learning every day no matter where we are on this journey.
Great video! It should be noted that green lipped mussels are incredibly high in Omega 3’s, and are incredible for joint health! We feed them to our 10 year old Cavoodle and she still has the energy of a puppy ☺️
Yes! They're still a great food to feed, just not for manganese lol
@@PawsofPrey exactly! We also feed her blue mussels for the Manganese content ☺️
Yes…usually when people give daily green lipped mussels whole or powdered, it’s because they’re anti inflammatory to prevent or reduce arthritis pain.
Wheatgrass is usually given for the chlorophyll which helps detox bad stuff, and gives a feeling of well-being. I’ve had good results from feeding wheatgrass juice powder (not the whole grass) and Spirulina to cats when they were sick. And Chlorella for anaemia (the iron is more easily absorbed than from other sources for some reason. I myself had anaemia for years, supplements didn’t work - tablets, liquid iron, molasses. Nothing helped. Chlorella works so well I have to limit it or I get symptoms of iron overload ).
I've been doing this for over 20 years. I've seen a lot of fats. Come and go. And that includes ingredients. One ingredient will get hot and everybody insists that it needs to be in every bowl. And a year or two later it's completely out of favor. That's why I'm never quick to adopt the newest suggestions and the newest trends in ingredients to add to the meals. The same reason I don't add supplements every day. I do have supplements that I can give, but not daily. I still stick to variety and balancing overtime.
I think some people are starting to really over complicate feeding. Dogs have been living on human scraps for 20 to 30 thousand years.. feed red meat, make sure they have lots of organs, make sure they have plenty of bone. It doesn't have to be rocket science. I mean oysters? Really?!
@@anonperson3972 there's no doubt in my mind that people are over complicating it. partly because it is now commercialized. There is money to be made in those supplements, recipes, etc. it was a lot easier when I started out, there weren't 5000 UA-cam and Facebook channels trying to tell you what to do. And not the virtue signaling that goes on now. they are making it so complicated that they are scaring people away from raw feeding and that is a very bad thing.
@@nogames8982-I’d like to make the switch from kibble. And I like your thought process. SIMPLIFY. Do you have a UA-cam channel I can look up or recommendations?
I dsagree on lots of organs. My dog will get diarrhea very quickly if im not mindful on portions and how often. Or he just wont eat it. I noticed every other month he will eat it.@anonperson3972
Hi, totally agree with sticking to varieties and balancing over time. If you do not mind me asking, what are the supplements you use and how often do you give them? Thank you☺️
Great video as always!
Oh thanks for the tip! I will decrease the volume from now on
such great information. thank you.
thank you for your succinct and thoughtful content! bioavailability and mineral precipitation have been something i have been really concerned with in the past years, for both mine and my pets diets. i appreciate how you explain things plainly. so happy i found your channel 💯
Thanks for the update! just bought your membership and Formulator!
I hope it's helpful to you!!
Where do I find this?
Green tripe is available from online sources and i found a supply locally
(Silent subcriber) Thank you! This is soo helpful - all of your work/passion is truly enchanting with the rest of us who are always wanting the best care for our animals. This is definitely your calling ✨
I really appreciate that, thank you so much it means the world
In 1 month we’re going to switch our cats to a raw diet! But for now to boost there digestive system we’re feeding them around 10 percent salmon and 10 percent Turkey 🦃 🐈
My cat absolutely loves quail. He will hunger strike if we. Couldn't get it when we shopped for his food.
Do you have any links to the courses that you've taken? I would appreciate that information. Thank you.
Wow I had no idea that copper was unavailable in pork liver! I was considering switching to it
You can always find pur green tripe at any pet food shop or your local butcher beef liver is a great source of iron...what orgens fo you feed now.😊
THANKS SO MUCH👍
I am getting my service dog puppy next week (8,5 week old goldador, 80% golden retriever, 20% labrador) and I want to feed him a raw diet. However, as he will be my service dog, I will need to train him intensely for the first two years, and I cannot take raw food with me outside and into storesw to train of course. I have read that freeze dried raw food can be a great alternative fot those training meals, however, I do not know with what brand or place to go, adn I don’t know where to get them, which ones are best, etc etc. How do you feel about combining raw food with the freeze dried raw, and do you have any recommendations as to where to get the best quality food? Thank you :)
Yeah we been feeding blue or black mussels for manganese. ☺️
I greet you for correcting the information few people can do it
I always watch your videos even tho I can not convince my parents to switch our dog to a raw diet, I am starting to give up after 5 years, and when I get my own dog i am probably going to be feeding a pre made raw/commercial raw food because I would way too stressed about making my dogs meals 😅
Awh, well I appreciate you watching. I hope I can make the concept of DIY easier for you as the years progress, but if not, pre-made is so much better than dry or canned!
@@PawsofPrey I just started feeding albrights :) it seems to do well and she loves it
Are tehre other benefits to Pork liver? Living in China it is one of the easiest and most affordable organ to get and I add it all the time. Do I need to find a new source of Zinc or should I switch out the liver all together.
Feed beef liver once in a while. Rotate through as many different kinds of livers as you can get your hands on.
What about other nutrients in pork liver? Are those also not bioavailable for dogs or is just copper?
So far I've only seen that it's copper that can't be absorbed. Pork liver is a decent source of zinc which is great. Many thought that because it contains a good amount of zinc, this could be why copper wasn't being absorbed (copper and zinc compete when it comes to absorption) but it's not crazy high in zinc or anything, so that is less likely the cause
the mussels are cooked and frozen where i buy from Asian supermarkets, they dont come with the shell, it says Chilean mussels on the pack, are these likely black mussels?
Yes! Blue, black, Chilean, or just "mussels" are usually all about the same
Hello!
Thank you for this video and for all your video!
It’s very difficult to find informations about all these kinds of mussels.
What i can find in my grocerie is bags of frosen mussels (mytilus chilensis) from Chili,
but it’s not sure it’s full of manganese than the one you talk, mytilus edulis from Canada...
nothing about the manganese for this mussel on internet.
I think i will put that in the garbage...
Blue, black, and Chilean mussels are all about the same, so don't trash them!
Thank you! You are really a nice and devoted person!
What pet food courses did you take? I’ve been curious about becoming a pet nutritionist.
"Most of my knowledge is from experience, personal research, veterinary textbooks, canine and feline nutrition books, but I have taken the nutrition course by the Companion Animal and Science Institute as well"-PawsofPrey
What animal nutrition courses have you taken ? Are they online or in-person ? I would like to take some to further my knowledge in the domain :)
Most of my knowledge is from experience, personal research, veterinary textbooks, canine and feline nutrition books, but I have taken the nutrition course by the Companion Animal and Science Institute as well.
Where do u get blue lipped mussels? We have mussels in our pond actually...
Asian markets, seafood markets, even Walmart sells them in the frozen seafood section!
Do you feed Gussy’s Gut to Matsu? If so, can we please get an update on how that’s going: if it helps or not? Please and thank you 🙏
I just started feeding gussys gut! I dont think a lot of people know about it but so far, my dogs LOVE it! Im hoping its not a gimmick and it good for them😊
I do every so often! I rotate my fermented products for him.
@@PawsofPreywhat other fermented products do you use?
i want to know if i can do 80% chicken as meat
I’ve been trying to feed my 4 cats raw. I couldn’t find any hearts. I was worried about them not getting the taurine they need so I was still giving them their toxic canned crack with the raw. I’d split 1 can between the 4 of them. Our grocer was bought out and new owners brought in beef kidney and hearts. Cats eat kidneys but won’t touch the hearts. None of them ! Any suggestions?
Have you tried searing little pieces in a bit of tallow? My cat is the same with raw liver (haven't tried heart yet, it's still early days). He'll eat it that way. He loves tallow (not too much obviously).
Hearts. Try quail. They will have the heart inside still. They only take out the Guts. Mexican markets and Asian markets carry them. And chicken hearts are sold as well. With gizzards
What do you do if you have a readily available food, but can't find the nutritional information for it? For me it is rabbit kidneys. Do I just not not feed it?
I've fed rabbit kidney often! What I do is look at the nutritional data of animal kidney that I can find, then get the average of that. For the most part, kidney are great sources of B vitamins and selenium!
@@PawsofPrey Thank you x
I thought you were about to say you stopped feeding mussels all together, i was like bruhhh i just bought them in BULK 🤣
omg lol
Just curious what about turkey liver?
Turkey liver is fine to feed, but not very high in copper. Of course, it does provide more than pork liver when it comes to absorption!
@@PawsofPrey ok. Thank you
@@PawsofPreyso which liver would you recommend the most ? Duck?
Can pets that raw feed play with children after a meal? Pets lick their fur and playfully bite and I wonder if that can spread something. Especially if they go to their toys or gives kisses. Should I be brushing their teeth? 😅😅😅
Brushing their teeth would definitely help because honestly i don’t see how you could avoid the cross contamination from their mouth without.
@@WolfPackPlanet Thanks for the answer. I've been genuinely wanting a reply from some raw feeders. I was wondering if there were other things people did beside basic grooming needs and in depth cleaning to prevent cross contamination. It appears though, that IS the solution. Lol.
@@the_unsexy_greenMnM I don’t have kids of my own or kids around my dogs so I haven’t had to think about that reality yet but that’s a good question and something to consider!
You definitely answered your own questions though haha. You could train the dogs not to lick anything which would be impractical.
The only way to avoid this outside of brushing their teeth or training would be to cook the raw meats to kill any harmful bacteria.
@@WolfPackPlanet Yes, I see now haha. Thanks for weighing in anyway.
I've tried to many times to feed my almost 2 raw, but he won't eat it. Just runs around with like a toy
I just picked up a fresh pack of greenlipped mussels yesterday...
You can still eat them yourself if you like seafood 😂
You can still feed them lol! They're great for join health
@@PawsofPrey I was wondering why the Dog Formulator has me feeding her 2oz of them, it's like 8 mussels 😭
@@spnczy1570 it depends on your dog's size and activity level
@@iridiumSerpent yeah, luckily she has all of this information calculated on her Formulator. It's a very helpful tool
But liver has a good amount of vitamin A which is good for cats and especially for senior cats.
Green tripe is very easy to get in the Middle East but I hate it's smell.
What about the mercury cntent in BLM and oysters? I've heard of food poisoning often from sea food.
Thats interesting. My dog doesnt like pork organs only beef but loves this med size prok bones i can only find at vietnamese market but highly prefres red meat. I def learned to listent and watch. My orange cat will go on a hunger strike if he doesmt get quail. Loves the little organs in them and loves chicken organs. But wont eat if he gets more then 1oz of red meat.
oh no 😣 I just bought wheatgrass powder thinking it'd be good for my dogs 😔😔😢
What can I raw feed to my older girl who now has no teeth from getting hit by a car. I just rescued her!
I would feed her raw pre-made grinds!
What are the furry things I have seen in a few of your videos? One was black, one was white. Thanks
Those were rabbit ears with fur on. The fur is supposedly a good source of fibre for dogs.
My dog, won't eat plant foods , or peanut butter. What is green tripe. And I can get chicken hearts fresh. Frozen not locally at all!
it's stomach from beef. but not the cleaned one you find in the store. usually you find it in pet stores that provide frozen food
Depending on where you live, some grocery stores will have chicken hearts and livers, or you can order online
Depends on the grocery store.
My local grocery stores stock chicken hearts/gizzards from time to time fresh.
a different grocery store I used to shop at only had them frozen.
and asian grocery stores you can always find them.
Also, some pet stores are now stocking canned green beef tripe toppers. So check the canned area too in pet stores if they don't have it in the raw fridge.
Feed as many types of organs as possible, prioritise red meat, give some vegetables occasionally. It doesn't need to be rocket science. Dogs have been living on human scraps for 20-40 thousand years after all..
I personally stopped trying to supplement and use food. I also rotate organ meats from different animals. I gave up the fish thing as my dogs hate fish I occasionally add some premade raw just for variety and “vege matter” because they would starve before eating it 😂
I genuinely believe if you're feeding a variety of body parts from a variety of well-raised animals, balance can be achieved over time for sure.
When a lion pulls a deer down and starts eating it it's really thinking "Gee I wish I could have some commercial pet food fibre and plants with this meal".
Also, the lion thinks "I need some seed oils in my diet".
Are we really going to pretend wild dogs take trips to the ocean and pull up muscles for manganese. We think we know so much but i think we know very little.
Realistically they’d most likely get that through whatever it is that they ate. Whatever it was that the prey ate before becoming someone’s meal, though they probably never touched muscles like you said. Unless near costal land
Raw feeders are trying to provide the best meals they can for their animals, and sometimes have to improvise with ingredients to meet a certain nutrient requirement because the food that usually provides that nutrient is unavailable for some reason or another
Of course they wouldn't lol, but manganese isn't concentrated in any particular body part that we know of other than tripe. Manganese has been deemed an essential nutrient to dogs and cats bodies, so the next best place to get it if we can't feed tripe/whole prey animals is another animal-based food such as mussels.
I prefer myself to feed green tripe or fur, it’s a natural source of manganese.
Fun fact: "Sea wolves" are a type of wolf in the Pacific Northwest and a huge part of their diet is seafood that they catch themselves.
Edit: Excerpt from Wikipedia under "Vancouver Coastal Sea Wolves"
"Along the coast, they will forage for barnacles, clams, mussels, and crabs, digging into the sand with their paws and using powerful jaw muscles to break open shells."
Earth is fun.
