My dog spent 11 mos of his 1.5 yr life in a shelter, so he never had a bone. He just barks at them! 😂 So, instead, I got him lamb carteledge, and he LOVES it! Chewing on cartelege has already removed 90% or more of the plaque on his back molars.
That's great to hear he's loving the lamb cartilage and it's helping his teeth!
I love cooking for my dog now 😄 It also benefits me because I'm buying healthy ingredients that make it convenient to make healthy meals for myself, too. I never just had things like sweet potatoes, or ground flaxseed, or coconut oil laying around but now I do.
Cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH for this education! You have made this complicated topic for me so much more digestible and easier to understand. Thank you! God bless you!
My problem is I have two cats inside one feral that lives in my garden Fergus manages to eat a lot of cat food and trying to keep him away from cat food is very difficult he’s developed a skin disorder which I will be seeing the vet on Monday he’s lost a lot of hair on his back I have decided to start making his own food so I know what he’s getting so finding your UA-cam channel is brilliant thank you Cam
I recently watched one of your videos. My dog has been on a raw diet for quite a while but shop bought. Tonight I made a fresh meal as per your video with minced beef, egg and shell, vegetables I had some shop bought cubes and olive oil. She loved it and scoffed the lot. I will be reading your guide 😊
Hi what are store bought cubes? Thank you
Would be great to get an in-depth video on which vegetables work better cooked and which ones raw :) Love your content!
Plants are trying to kill you
Dogs definitely DO NOT need raw veg 😂
very good down to earth, no unnecessary words videos!
Good information. The heart is a muscle, not an organ. I see this in a lot of diy dog food recipe videos.
The heart is a muscular organ according to google.
All of our skeletal muscular system is an organ. However, the heart is not skeletal muscle, it's cardiac muscle , and performs its own unique functions, making it an organ. It's still an organ, it just happens to be an organ made of muscle . :)
Wow. Super, super informative 👏 Thank-you so much. Extremely interesting 👌
Excellent information thank you! 😃👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
this is so educational!!!!!
Thsnk you for this educational video 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I haven't been able to download the free guide that I can print. When I click the link it takes me to your book for sale.
Why can't I download the quantity and other guides?
Glad to hear someone who doesn't suggest that everything a dog eats must be given to them raw. I prefer the terms natural and fresh as opposed to raw. While cooking may lower the nutritional value of the food, it's still going to be way more healthy than a dry kibble alternative. Some foods actually benefit from cooking. For example, it's basically a waste of time including raw carrot in a dog's meal, because nearly all of it will simply pass through their system undigested.Even some things like eggs are more easily digested when cooked. Food that's been cooked tends not to go bad as swiftly as raw. Some foods like raw chicken and fish can go off in a few hours if left in the dog's food bowl.
Couldn't agree more!
Can you make a video talking about cooking meals guideline for senior dogs with seizures?
I wonder if a zero carb diet would help dogs as it does in humans?
Thankyou Cam love your videos it makes perfect sense to me you explain things really well
Thanks for your time and information
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My dog was diagnosed with lymphoma.
Do you have any meal recipes for dogs with cancer?
Dr Judy Morgan on you tube has recipes for dogs w cancer
I would love you to talk about green tripe more! I fed green tripe to my Cavalier but then he got persistent diarrhea and was diagnosed with coccidia. I treated him with toltrazuril successfully and stop green tripe, Any thoughts on how to avoid coccidia from cow's tripe, please?
Thank you
You're welcome
can i give oil in bottle? oil can be oxisided, so it has to be in capsules right?
also whats your opinion on whole prey diet?
I realize that dairy is certainly not a food group for wolves or dogs. However, given that it is not easy for me to construct a high variety prey model type diet. So, do add a Tbsp of organic, whole milk cottage cheese or plain yogurt or a wedge of whole milk, goat cheese. Would love to hear what Cam thinks about some dairy as another food group for our urban wolves. I also use raw egg yolks instead liver in a number of recipes I make because I don't want to overdue it on the copper that is sky high in beef liver and twice that in calf liver apparently.
Should we stay on the same meal every single day or switch it up ? What do you recommend ?
A couple different meals per week would be great!
Thanks for the information! I would like to know that will different breeds have slight differences in these ratios?
Hey there! Yes, the nutritional needs of each dog breed vary depending on factors such as size, activity level, and any existing health conditions they may have.
@@thedognutritionist Great to know! Thanks for the early reply.
Well... dogs (and humans for that matter) look at their own poop afterwards anyhow...so will check out your stool study vid.
Great video! Thank you!
i'm not too sure about the bone bit. My dog chewed on one , it broke and he continued despite the sharp part cutting his gums. the bone ended up being bloody and i quickly threw it away. Another time, he bit off a larger part of the bone, swallowed it and ended up vomitting it out. I don't think i'll give him a bone again. I'll substitute calcium he needs with egg shells.
Is there any formula to calculate calories that dog needs? As this would be easier to calculate how much of protein, fat and carbs a dog would need. With % based on weight of the food, calories can greatly vary between two cuts of meat and also ratio between protein and fats.
He covers this in another video
My goodness, I've never measured or weighed and been feeding raw for a few years. My dog is healthy and there's no stress in feed.organs a couple times a week, muscle every day, bones more than 2-3 times a week. Ground veggies and some fruits. Supplements for joints and coat
Excellent advice cam thanks!
Hello I have watched a few of your videos I love your great informative videos. I liked this one and subscribed to your channel. I will go back and give you a thumbs up. You are very interesting so I keep jumping to your next video.
I just started watching your videos. My dog stopped eating her prescription diet food for kidney disease. She is a senior dog with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction. Do you have specific meals for her with her kidney disease?
Hey Karen, yes I do. I have emailed you :-)
my 12 yr old mix was put on a low protein diet. the vet found crystals in his urine, will a raw diet fix this problem?
I have a 4 mo old female Great Dane and would love to follow a plan but can’t find one, gosh I don’t know how to download. Only found the comment section looking for his comments on asparagus.
Raw Feeding 101. Keep it simple. It's not that hard to do
I simply cannot afford to buy suppliments as I live on a very limited fixed income, I already spend more on my dog than myself...so I do want to take best care of him as I can. All that to say how can I source his vitamins and minerals from his diet? is there a guide to which veggies provide what micronutrients and how much do dogs need/by breed or weight and age and activity level. I'd be willing to purchase such a guide if not more than I can manage or make payments... thanks!
Cant find the link to download the recipe guide
Me too.
Can I substitute raw meaty bone with freeze dried bones?
Can you give examples of appropriate fish sources...canned tuna? Canned sardines? Fresh fish? What kinds? What to stay away from? Thx...
I downloaded your guide and still can't get many examples of what to use in each category...thx!
Frozen sardines, squid, (for zinc) any fish. Freeze for a few weeks.
This is interesting, but going through your % there’s no way of it adding up to 100%. Taking the lowest of all your % options (eg 40% for meat rather than 60%) the lowest percentage you can get is 111% (going by your opening table) which doesn’t make any sense? Which of those should be cut out of those to get it down to 100%?
Cam states these are the minimum and maximum percentages you can use in your choice so these listed are not meant to add up to 100% as he states here. It's important to know min and maximum levels you can work with. I tend to do 60% meat 5% liver, 5% heart or kidney, 10% sweet potato or squash, 5% berries and 15% mix of veg for my 100% I adjust according to what I am adding and days I add oil or seeds. Hope this helps.
Could you do a review NATURO dog food please..
i have an American pocket bully, is it ok to give her raw chicken drumsticks 2-3 times a week?
Hello! Yes, it's generally okay, just watch for any digestive issues to ensure it suits her system.
Funny how many times you use the word consistent whilst consistently talking about the consistency of dog poo. Great info too, consistently. X
Haha, I guess consistency is key when discussing dog poo! Glad you found the info consistently helpful!
Do I have to worry about doing cold pressure processing in order to get the bacteria off
What? There's bacteria everywhere. Dogs can handle that as well as salmonella. Just my two cents. My dogs been on raw since he was 7 weeks. I've never worried about those things. He's 11 months and 150lbs. now. Vet says he's too healthy for a titer test
I read that raw chicken skins are not recommended for dogs. Is that true?
I am getting frustrated with all these opposing views😞 I have heard that raw meaty bones can carry salmonella and dogs can choke on them or get a blockage. But then there is all those pros. Honestly don’t know what to do.
More people get food poisoning from salads carrying e.coli. No animal can cook, feed a natural diet and use appropriately sized raw meaty bones.
I tried raw once. Did not go well a decade ago.
But I am considering giving her 🐶 a raw chicken bone. She is 12lbs will she get sick? 🤞🏽
Hello! Introducing them slowly is key. Start with small, raw bones and supervise her while she eats. Monitor her for any signs of digestive upset or discomfort. If she handles it well, you can gradually incorporate more. Good luck!
I recommend frozen chicken feet. We give our lab and Dalmatian one a day.
Where is the free nutritious guide? i have. 8 pd dog and I am trying homemade food. And she is so picky. She try’s to pick out the meat only. And not eat the vegetables.
Hey there! Please email me at help@thedognutritionist.com to assist you further.
My dog barfs literally with barf diet, supplements are expensive.
😊
🙏🙏🙏
Remember heart is considered muscle meat
You could change this to a video for humans and it would be just as true all round 😂 The Carbs and Sugar epidemic is real!
How about comparing organic beef with regular beef. The same cut with about the same amount of visible fat. Hot dogs and beef any beef I think is not comparable. Better comparison no!!!
Wouldn't organic be preferable?
Can I feed my dog raw salmon?
No salmon must be cooked because of parasites
My dog won't eat raw bones
Going to have to stop with this video. So many dogs have allergies to meats. My dog is one of them. Please update youe information to reflect this.
I don’t know of a dog that can’t eat meat.
There is no role for carbohydrates in a dogs diet, sorry I disagree.
Fair enough.
Thats sound like a bodybuilding video. So all this in one meal right?!?! Or how does that should be feed u have me confused. I dont eat food like that myself... have amstaf bitch 3 year old so once a day and how much?!?! This sound very expensive as well my dog wont eat no any vegetables. Thats like people diet with the asparagus and appleas, carot and beries.... nah pal that dosent make no sence...
I have lots of questions!
What do you mean that carbs make the diet more sustainable?
Fruits and veggies are also carbohydrates making your recommendation 40% of their diet. Seems like a lot. The metabolic machinery processes all dietary glucose from starches one way and fructose another way. The GI tract doesn't differentiate between 'good carbs' and 'bad carbs'.
Carbs cause metabolic diseases and is a mitochondrial poison for humans. Wouldn't it be the same for dogs?
Beetroot is very high in oxalates! Sweet potatoes are also high. Do the oxalate crystals damage their kidneys and soft tissues as they do humans? Few human doctors and nutritionists know about the anti nutrients and plant toxins in plants that prevent them from absorbing vitamins and minerals as well as being toxic. Do dogs have better enzyme system for handling oxalates, phytates, tannins, salicylates, lectins, phytic acid, and sulforaphane? Here is a good resource on the topic: www.doctorkiltz.com/plant-toxins/
Is there a reason why egg yolks aren't a better source of than carrots for beta carotene / vitamin A for the eyes? If most humans can't convert much or any beta carotene into vitamin A, what percentage of dogs can? Also, eggs yolks have vitamin E . Seeds have high level of plant defense chemicals. Why mix the bad with the good if you can avoid it?
In humans, if carbohydrates are low, ketones (short chain fatty acids or butyrate) are produced which directly feed the gut microbiome from the bloodstream, making fiber unnecessary. Would this apply to dogs as well? My dogs no longer have any gut or stool issues since I cut the carbs out of their diet. They also have much more energy and have lost weight.
He also doesn't take into account that proteins are available in fruits and vegetables.
Dogs don't need carbs. I believe he said that in one of his videos
