Never thought about the negatives with using a bowl before! I wasn’t even aware whisker fatigue was a thing. Thanks for another super informative video! 👍
Absolutely! ^__^
I give freeze dried shrimps to my cat as treats. She really likes it!
Great video, as always. My dog eats off of a cutting board. All his ‘treats’ are part of his diet. Frozen pieces of oxtail or pork hock, a nice combo of meat and bone. No cooked meat, no processed food, nothing...
Aw thanks so much :)
In my country we don't have Starbucks' drive thru and I never understood why people give whipped cream to their dogs, it really isn't healthy for them.
I agree with all the topics on this video! Recently I've been really worried with whiskers fatigue and can't find a bowl that prevents that and it's antibacterial, I'm going to change to plates too.
I Just found your videos a few day ago and they have been so helpful. So professionally done and tons of information. I’m now way more confident about feeding my dog raw, thank you!
Yay! So so happy to help :)
Please do more videos on raw feeding hedgehogs! Nugget and I are trying to work on his diet 😭😭😭
just feed them insects and pinky mice..
Life changing, extremely insightful content! The quality of these videos is easily TV publishable and on a high budget production scale. Mariah, you kill it every time. Your attention to detail and level of research never goes unnoticed. Each of these videos pack a punch and should be played in every vet office while we wait to be called in and convinced of how wrong raw feeding is, lol! Vet schools would benefit from your channel too. Thank you for providing this for us. I always look forward to your videos. You deserve the world, seriously! 💗 much appreciated.
Not only does she have such a wonderful voice, but a beautiful name too!!
Comments like these seriously make my day and reassure me to continue on ❤️ thank you so so much!!
Great info, subscribed the first time I watched
I am so proud of myself for being spot on! Haha 😄 thanks for the video as always.
Good points!!
I noticed this as well with raw feeding my dog doesn't enjoy it in a bowl and I kept switching bowls from metal, plastic to ceramic
I really really like your videos. Your voice tone, the speed the content is just great. Congrats and thank you!
You're so kind! Thank you!
The little animated you, gets me every time. 😄
LOL....I try
OK have to pause because i can not wait to comment on the adorable FOXXY. OK, BACK TO THE VIDEO! love your content as always.
Aw! Why thank you! She was my first dog but my family kind of took her over....BY SPOILING HER WITH STUFF LIKE THIS. lol
Although i haven't completely started my cat on a raw diet 100%, i stopped the process treats from the start. He only gets raw feeze dried treats now from reputable companies. I don't give him any table craps as a snack either. I give him a little goats milk occasionally as that can be digested easily. There are food toppers that are healthy too including goats milk. I give beef tribe as a treat and freeze dried minnows and freeze dried chicken livers. He loves them and they are so healthy for him. I stopped the kibble and stopped the bad treats and now just need room in my freezer for raw wet food so he can become a completely raw food eater. I am excited to make this change but i am doing it gradually.
It was fun to go to the pet store and pick out treats for the kittens. Since I switched to raw though they get mostly just freeze dried things like minnows, freeze dried organs or meat, and raw goats milk. They still have one guilty pleasure I feed them which is Inaba Churu since they love it so much. They still do get kibble and wet food on ocassions , only the better kind with no fillers and basically just pure meat. I like to keep them used to it just in case of an emergency in which they can't get raw. Want to make sure they will keep eating.
I stoped getting my cats treats when they went fully raw ( once I realized how many unhealthy ingredients were in them). This also helped me make better and healthier options when it comes to my diet as well. When you look at a cart full of meat ( for my cats) and veggies ( for my bunny) junk food just looks odd. I think its important to remember that in order to take proper care of our animals we need to take proper care of our bodies as well. My pets help me remember that. That you for another awesome and informative video :)
Once again a lot of health issues animals experience is due to people causing the problem. Interesting that you brought up about feeding from a bowl. Recently I learned about a a product called Pet Platter that unleashes their natural instincts while eating.
your videos are well made
I've been thinking of buying a gigantic cutting board for my big dog, but sometimes I like to give him bone soup 😳
If you calculate the cost of cheap kibble and commercial treats, it could cost more than a 100% raw diet, with the "treats" built in.
True!
Another thing about feeding raw is you can keep the money you would pay at the vets office, since they're much healthier, you Dave the$$$!
The bowl shocked me
Agreed, when I had my dog on a raw meal his stomach could not handle ‘human food’ my husband just wanted to spoil him but I stayed up all night cleaning.
It was a too too fast transition. It has to be extra slow. A little raw and his regular food. Gradually taking away completely if thats what you want the highly prossed food and feeding only a prey appropate diet. A flat surface allows for a better relaxed feeding time.
Question how would feed both animal and dry protein do u just mix it with organs and meats fish with it?
Please do a video on foods to help a dog with bad breath!!
Raw and raw bones
How do you use the “flat dish” technique for a puppy that eats really fast? My puppy used to get hiccups with the deep bowl but we switched to a special dish to slow down.
Not the pup cup😆
ahahhaha
I always find it so weird when I see multiple vets on insta promoting dental treats. And absolutely bashing raw bone.
Very backwards
Funny how dogs get whisker fatigue but they like to sniff around in places where their face is in something (bushes, snuffle mats, etc). Maybe it depends on breeds and preferences of the dog but I don't know if this is an issue for most dogs.
👏⭐👏
Hey, I need your opinion on this- since it's getting cold I've started to heat up the raw thawed food for my dog. Is that something you'd recommend? He has been having a leaky nose on some days and an occasional sneeze on and then.
The only safe way to heat up raw food is with a bit of warm water or bone broth, which I do from time to time.
@@PawsofPrey thank you.
It would be best to make your own bone broth since commercial bone broth has onions in it
Can you share the plates you use for feeding? They look like the perfect size and shape
They're just from Target honestly!
@@PawsofPrey Thank you!
I give my dog rice because it helps him with his stomach problem. Why is rice bad?
Recently there was a veterinary research paper that came out that did not find any conclusive, statistically significant evidence that whisker fatigue in cats affected their eating habits. Article is by Jennifer Slovak and Taylor Foster. However, might your cats prefer eating from a certain bowl or plate shape (and change their preference at some point for no real reason)? Yes, mine definitely prefer small plates over bowls, basically one step up from the floor. Is this true for a statistically significant number of cats that you need to be worried about it? No, not according to this literature. Plenty of cats and dogs are fine sticking their heads into narrow spaces or bowls and happily eat that way. Every animal has individual quirks, so pay attention to that. Just, buyer beware and don't fall for gimicky "whisker-friendly" products when you could just get a feeding mat or a regular plate.
I’m curious since you said you work at a animal hospital, what do you coworkers think of you feeding raw. I remember some of mine making fun of raw feeders
Many were/are skeptical, but many are also very supportive! The hospitals I worked at previously were bigger and more pushy for veterinary foods so a lot of the techs there were judgy
It's almost like people try to tell you how to raise your kids! I will NOT tolerate any vet telling me to eat any food that's not good, unless it's raw
Correction, my dog needs and eats only raw. If my vet doesn't agree, then see ya later!
Can I feed pmr sometimes and sometimes barf ?
as long as its balanced and species appropiate.
@@greciachong7787 thanks
My dog is hardly interested in treats. If she is actually hungry she will ask for a freeze dried bunny ear, but her MEALS are a treat for her. Loads of fresh organic meat - no better treat that that !
Agreed!
So I take malic acid for fatigue reasons, would I be able to use this on my cats teeth? They are old and haven't had dental work so their teeth are bad. Its a tablet would i be able to crush it and add it to their food? They can't chew bones. And brushing their teeth is an awful experience for both of us.
Malic acid has also been linked to enamel erosion in large amounts so I'd be weary of that
Some toothpaste brands don't require brushing, there's tropiclean fresh breath, virbac CET, petrodex. And plaqueoff is a powder made of kelp (isn't safe for some diseases as it has iodine) you just put it on the food.
@@Marinlss I've been asking around about the lague off to see if i need to use that as te iodine soure or how it affects the diet but i'm a little confused about the answers. some say that the type of kelp doesn't contain iodine. i would like to try it but not sure if i should.
@@elida2433 plaque off's made of kelp Ascophyllum Nodosum, definitely has iodine. If you pet has thyroid issues it shouldn't be used.
I have a client that works in a vet's office and she said people that come in that feed raw have a lot of issues with parasites and giardia. How can you prevent this when feeding raw?
This isn't actually very common unless the owner is feeding wild animal meat without taking the proper precautions in eliminating potential parasites. Meat sold for human consumption do not contain parasites. When it comes to giardia, this is most commonly caught by drinking water or ingesting grass/dirt that contains the parasite. Eating wild animal feces can also cause this. Raw fed pets don't need any special deworming or treatment if they're being fed properly prepared raw meats, eggs, and seafood items (store bought, properly frozen, etc)
Freezing for about three weeks can kill alot of nasties!
I found some information on the internet that feeding raw chicken necks can cause paralysis in dogs.......is this true?
I get a dog in 2 weeks he is 14 weeks old
And I am so scared to make something wrong
Or that his diet isn’t good
How can you be certain
Either do your research (which takes a lot of time, it's a lot!) or get a meal plan created by a certified nutritionist. I ways recommend either a board certified veterinary nutritionist, or a certified nutritionist that specializes in raw and cooked diets. rawpetsrule.com and perfectlyrawsome.com are who I always recommend. I will also be doing a consultation and meal formulation service soon.
Wow, I didn't know people fed their dogs whipped cream. I'm not big on social media.. I don't watch TV either, ive never heard of this..why whipped cream? Bizarre..
I am feeling very out of touch right now. I have been going to Starbucks with my dogs for years. Not one single time have I heard of a papa Chino or have they offered it. Oh well, ignorance is bliss.
I give others the treat to give Ranger, and just say allergies. No one wants to hurt him, so it helps limits judgement. We actually do raw partly bc of how bad his allergies are.
I respect your opinion and what you’re doing for your pets.
I understand wanting to prevent GI issues. But it kind of feels like you’re setting a pup up for failure if you never let them eat outside of the strict menu you’ve stuck them to.
I used to have my pup on a strict BARF diet. Table scraps were a no-no, only dehydrated meat treats, nothing processed.
What this ended up causing was that she got real bad diarrhea whenever she snagged something off the street, got into a trashcan, found something in the park, or was fed a treat by the vet or another dog owner.
Once i let her indulge in a table scrap or a generic treat every once in a while she’s never had such a reaction to food slip ups ever again, because her digestive system was prepared.
I completely understand wanting whats best for your pet though. But isnt this a bit over-bearing? It’s giving me “parent who wont let their kid have sugar” vibes :/
I still love your videos none the less!
I want to feed my puppy raw meat diet, but I didn't realize how it makes them sensitive to other food?!
No I totally understand. I can tell you that I have still indulged in the table scraps part once in a while, but only if it's meat or veggies, and only a very small amount. Other than that though, it's just literally not necessary lol.
Hey primal pack! I noticed in your video you used store bought toothpaste instead of homemade, why is that?
Trust me, I've made plenty of homemade toothpaste lol! But unfortunately they lack the enzymatic effects. I made a whole story post on my instagram explaining, as well as going over the ingredients in CET if you're interested. On my highlights
@@PawsofPrey thanks so much for telling me! I always go with the products u use (after doing a little research) and found out those items are the best! When I’m in the veterinarian field, I will make sure my clients know your UA-cam channel! You will instantly get 1000 subs lol 😂 😄😄
@@moosetracks511 Aw thats so kind of you! Yes Always great to do your own research as well, regardless of what I say :)
I think while it's true the dog doesn't need treats or puppichinos etc I think it really depends on your dog. My dog since being switched to raw can eat ANYTHING. And he doesn't get diahreaa or any upset. The argument is they don't need it. Well most things we eat we don't need. I don't think a small bite here and there of a treat that's not that great but the dog absolutely goes bonkers over is fine. I do agree with you on the bowls (my dog just takes the raw stuff out of the bowl to eat on the floor. I mop after), and the dental sticks have alot of indigestible ingredients and for very large dogs like mine are a choking hazard. (He almost choked on one and I never gave them again). I give all my dogs and cats a bite of food from me. No fat, nothing I would not eat myself. Piece of lean chicken( very small piece. Think quarter sized for my 95lb dog or nickel sized for my cats) they love it and I use it to reinforce their training not to beg. If the sleep on their beds quietly they get a tiny piece when I'm done. If they beggwd they don't get anything. My dog never begs ever. Even tho he's gotten the last bite of food most often for the last 3 years. Again for my dog it works. He's large, and he doesn't get an upset stomach. He was left with my brother and I told him not to leave any food out. He left his daughters SEALED boxes of girl guide cookies on the bench by the door. To go to the grocery store. Kid you not he ate 2.5 boxes if cookies with parts of packages. No diahreaa. No vommiting. No change in behavior at all. Literally toughest stomach out there.
Is Foxy still alive?
She unfortunately passed away earlier this year from cancer. She was 14
Doesn't that toothpaste that you use have thing in it that could give your dog cancer... At least one of their toothpastes have those kind a ingrediences in them...
I made a whole story post on my instagram explaining why I use an enzymatic toothpaste, as well as going over the ingredients if you're interested. On my story highlights
Hmm pupachinos, puparoni etc are all garbage for your dog..
This is all just people wanting to treat their dogs as if they were human. Dogs are our pets but still they are animals ! Very different from us.
exactly the same things i stopped doing with Zoey after switching to raw! but i also have no idea what to do when well-intending friends and family buy her pet store "treats"🥲 i 100% don't want it in her body but also don't want to hurt other people's feelings😭
You can always donate to a shelter and tell friends and family that the ur pet has a sensitive tummy when it cones to some ingredients. Good thing is that animals that were fed raw won't see those treats as food lol. I took in a stay pregnant mama cat and decided to keep her and all 4 of her kittens. The mama will eat treats if offered but the babies don't see it as food at all. They sniff it and walk away even if they're super hungry
@@k.a.t.t1262 it's hard when they want to give it right away... and Zoey was transitioned as an older cat so she definitely still loves unhealthy treats🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Well, how about just saying in passing what you gave your baby like ---did I mention how Zoey loves goats milk-‐- plus its really good for her digestion maybe mention some other things that you gave her--freeze dried minnows --dried liver 1 ingredent ones no fillers etc. Just a few suggestions could help them.
