I look at it this way. Eating healthy for yourself can be really expensive, but it doesn't have to be. People get so caught up in buying the most premium or "organic" brands and making their grocery bill crazy. It's just like raw feeding for your pets, you don't have to get super crazy with it. If you boil it down to the bare essentials and treat your pet to different meats on your cheat days, it mixes things up without having to get too expensive.
I also like to remember that even the cheapest human grade meat is going to be better than anything that goes into kibble. Would I like to afford organic and pasture raised? Sure. But I can’t, and that’s okay. It’s still so much better to feed human grade raw than the fillers and failed waste products they put into pet food.
I really love all of your content. I wish more people would be aware of your work.
I’m so glad to know pork loin is nutrient dense cuz I will often get a pork loin for me and eat half myself and keep the other for my kitty’s raw food. I find that winco and grocery outlet often have deals on meat and will discount meats that are near their sell by date. And when it comes to buying chicken legs and thighs on sale I save some of the excess bone and make bone broth as a liquid supplement for my baby girls diet. She loves it. And since she doesn’t tend to drink much it’s a good excuse to add extra nutrients to her diet.
I believe bone broth is extremely beneficial for our kitties. I buy marrow bones from the butcher. I let them cook in the crockpot with water overnight or all day. When cooled I throw the bones away and put the broth in the refrigerator to solidify all the extra fat. After that you can either freeze in individual smaller container or keep it in the refrigerator for about 5-7 days. My kitties love it!
I find that since making my own cat food that it is often times comparable to the cheap big chain store brands but is on par or better than the more expensive quality brands. The only downside is the risk of it being nutritionally incomplete. However if pets on kibble (I don’t think kibble is nutritionally complete since it lacks water and many synthetic vitamins and minerals are harder to absorb in the body) can survive for years on it than perhaps it isn’t as big of an issue as many claim
It to be. A controversial belief perhaps but it does make you wonder.
Beef heart is my number one meat.

Can you please make a kidney friendly meal? Some cats and dogs will need this. Please and thank you 🙏
Good tips!
One thing that can be confusing is that bone should make up 10 percent of the diet. Some people think this means that a raw meaty bone is 10 percent of the diet. But that is not true because a raw meaty bone contains meat also, more or less depending on the raw meaty bone. Therefore, if you only feed 10 percent of raw meaty bones this is not enough bone unless it is a bare bone which should not be fed. I wonder if this needs to be clarified.
When I do a full DIY meal prep, I follow a different ratio than a lot of people. But it makes calculating so much she's here. I do 50% Raw meaty bones. 30% muscle meat without bone, 5% liver, 5%, other secreting, organ, and 10% veggie. This works pretty well if you use different kinds of raw meaty bones. And I don't lose sleep over a percentage or two off here and there. Sometimes I don't feel any veggies at all. Sometimes I add more organ meat, etc. etc. But it just makes it easier.
@nogames8982 I do similar, however I do not feed veggies at all. I also feed less liver since I mainly feed ruminant liver and it is very high in copper. I do some additional organs also. It is all quite simple actually. I think it can get confusing for new people when they see 10 percent bone because to get 10 percent bone you may need to feed up to 50 percent raw meaty bones to achieve this. It's all about the bone percentage in the raw meaty bones. For beginners, it would be great to see this clarified because I think bone feeding is the most confusing part to most newbies.
@@mamabear9389 I agree. I've been feeding Raw for a little over 20 years now. Everything from premade to full DIY. The 50% raw meaty bone idea is the easiest. I've come up with to try to explain it to people. and it makes for a quick meal prep when I have a lot of meaty bones laying around.
@nogames8982 People could always start with 50 percent raw meaty bones and if their particular dog needs less bone they can adjust accordingly. However, it is wonderful to have a simple way to start! I know that raw meaty bones are the number one fear factor for new people.
There are videos telling you how to calculate the bone to meat ratio, so the meat on the bone is calculated as muscle meat.
Thnks
Hey, thanks for all the videos, they're great. I'm a little unclear on whether or not you need to add green tripe as a standard part of the meals. Green tripe kinda puts me off making the meals myself not gonna lie. Also, i can't find kidneys anywhere in my country -are the meals not complete enough without the secondary secreting organ? I'm currently feeding Mush Vaisto premade raw, where there is no secondary secreting organ in as far as i can tell, yet it's marketed as complete, atleast by my local vendor. Could you maybe help clarify a couple of these things if you're not too busy? Cheers
Thanks for this info , I’ve got my cat pretty use to raw now , I started with chicken , this week ground turkey. But he will not eat meat bone , no chicken feet , no neck he just won’t . I know you said bone meal an option but I want his teeth to be good . He won’t touch egg yoke either . But he’s doing good he doesn’t finish bowl even though I’ve divided in threes he’s a grazer. Anyway thanks for your none going info it’s so helpful .

Is there anyway you can do a video or just some tips on what is or how to find good wet food . I currently don’t have the ability to feed raw, but I can do wet food. It’s really hard to trust a lot of sources because I’m worried they’re just trying to sell their product but you show the science and everything behind it, and that helps so much ❤
Good question. I’d like to know too. Hope the channel gets back.
This channel rarely replies to the comments, but she is a pet nutritionist and a raw feeder. Highly unlikely she will make a video about which wet foods to feed. You may need to seek advice from others. She did a video about the cost, though, and raw came out cheaper than a wet food diet.
Do you have any substitutes for eggs? My dog is allergic to eggs and beef, so I have to find alternatives, I’m looking into a mineral mix to add to raw meat, but if its cheaper to find it in foods then I’m open to that to. Thanks for all your informative videos. ❤
Yolllllllk, what about using sallllllmon?
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos! I have a question...why is it important to rotate recipes? If you have a recipe that meets all of the nutritional requirements, why change it? Thanks!
Every protein source has vitamins/minerals that may not be present in other proteins. It’s a good way to balance the diet over time. But, beef and pork are highly nutritious, and be fed these proteins a lot.
Supercoat ad just before this. Made by Big Food Nestlé. Just bought dry food from a Melbourne based company: 78% salmon, 22% superfoods and wholesome ingredients and 0 grains. Too vague? Would like to support local business but my Golden puppy’s health is more important? What do people think?
my cat has recently been to the vet due to her not eating or drinking (loss of weight too) but has been making an easy recovery so far. I have a dog on a raw diet and wanted to start with my cat. But since she now has liver issues and low potassium, im not sure where to start? And what foods honestly even help w her bad liver and low potassium levels? Or what natural supplements i can use in a raw diet
Liver is good for the liver. There may be other people who can give you more suggestions. Don’t go over the recommended amounts of it, though. It’s a nutrient dense meat.
I see both pork and beef neck bones which are quite meaty. Are they an option. Also at the same market they have turkey necks which seem quite large but no chicken necks.
Yes.
I keep hearing that pork is hard for dogs to digest. Can you share your thoughts on this?
The content creator is a certified pet nutritionist, and she loves feeding pork loin.
Is there an alternative for pork loin? Because where I’m from prok is haram and are sold absolutely no where EVER
I fed my Pomeranian chicken wings and she popped out the bones in sharp toothpick size is this normal, it really scared me !! Please advise
Can I feed them a mixture of (wet food and raw food) or (wet food, dry food and raw food)? Because I can’t go 100% raw food, it’s way too difficult for me. Please answer 😢
Yes
Please be aware of Meat Glue in some cuts of meat.
What is meat glue?!
Glue for meat.
I tried putting my dog on a raw diet and he was not having it didn’t even touch it so I cook his food now and he loves it, is it safe to give him cooked meat with bones?
I have read that cooked bones are dangerous
The bones have to be raw. but if you want to remove the meat from the bones and cook the meat seperately. You can give them cooked meat and a raw bone.
But do not give them cooked bones. This makes the bones very brittle and can cause internal bleeding of the bowls.
Absolutely no cooked bones. The only cooked bones a dog should have is may be the ones that are in a canned sardines or canned mackerel. If you cut the meat off the bone, then use the bones for bone broth. Do not give a naked :-) bone to your dog. They need the meat around the bone to help cushion their teeth and gums.
Buy frozen. It’s cheaper. Just make sure it’s not pumped with salted water and sugar.
• How do you know how much to feed your dog?
• Can you gently cook it?
Giving raw like this to my small Maltese freaks me out. It will make them a mess as well. Especially raw egg.
Im feeding raw but its Small Batch
The raw diet is 80% raw meat, not 50%-75%. And, you're not suppose to use conventional meat but, grass fed, grass finished & or organic.
That depends on who you listen to for feeding advice. The creator of this UA-cam channel is a certified pet nutritionist, and she feeds her pets this way. Compared to what you’ll find in kibble, conventional human grade meats is a huge step in the right direction.
