When my dog do a vet visit, I just tell them I feed Hill's/Science diet kibble food, the same brand in vet reception area. Everytime my vet is so happy and said I'm a good owner. They told me my dog's blood work is perfect and my dog's skin and hair are so fabulous beautiful shine🤣
I'm going to the vet soon and going to fib as well.
I did this for almost a year with one vet office and then afterwards, after all the praises and excited happy gawking over how healthy my cats are, I said "just kidding, they are fed a 100% raw diet, same with the past year" and the stuttering and shocked expressions were priceless lmao they tried to harass me about it a bit but I quickly brought up everything good they ever said about my cats and they shut up and looked embarrassed ASF 😂
@@Gforu81 Me, too. They never actually ask, but if they did I’d lie like a dog! 😂😂🤣
Whilst this is funny, it also gives them a false impression that their highly processed food is actually amazing.
@@Jadamson321 I’m not a social justice warrior, tho. I’m just trying to live my life how I want to in peace. I don’t want to alienate a vet over an ultimately no - win situation against big dog food companies.
Spot on! Echo had blood work done and her hematocrit values were high. I’m so lucky to have an awesome vet who is familiar with wolfdogs and raw feeding. She just told me it’s a sign of healthier than average blood production.
Oh wow that's great!
I just wanted to say that even for someone who has fed raw for years, this channel has been immensely helpful! There's always new stuff to learn and I really appreciate all the handy guides and scientific info!
Ahhh I cannot tell u how much this vid has helped! I’ve always struggled at the vet despite my perfectly healthy raw fed dogs.
So glad it's helpful!
you aren't INCREASING their bottom line so they don't wanna have others trend that way
ive been raw feeding my cats for 17yrs and i constantly hear from vets and specialists that my 10yr old cancer/ HCM cat should be on veterinary dry food! ummm... yeah... kibble is hardly appropriate for an obligate carnivore- my vets are paid to look after my cats medical needsvand nothing else- their nutition education is quite limited and taught by hills/ royal canin reps- unless they take a special interest in nutrition, they stick with what theyre taught and they are so busy theres not a lotta time for extra research- the BIG concern is that far too many think that feeding raw meat is all thats required- it is essential that it be balanced!
I wish I would have had this information when I took my gal to the vet for blood work and the vet tried to convince me to put my gal on a low-protein kibble.
I trusted my gut, did research and stayed the course of raw diet. But doing so created anxiety and self-doubt.
Your video affirms that I did the right thing by keeping her on a raw diet. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I'm so glad you stuck with your gut. But I totally understand that feeling, it's hard!
try and find a holistic vet...they are the ones SAVING pets from the indoctrinated Vets that don't have a clue.
Valuable information!!! Thank you
This is exactly my worries. I started my now 6month old poodle on farmers dog while I was still researching Raw. I added a few new vitamins that I am pretty sure were the culprit to his diet, and he had daily vomiting and diarrhea for almost 2 weeks and my vet swore it was the food and that I switched immediately. As a first time dog owner of course I panicked and switched to their hills prescribed dog food and it has been bothering me for 3weeks now. I do not care to keep him on kibble but his poop as been normal and vomiting maybe twice since then. I started introducing a little raw chicken yesterday hoping I can get him off of kibble in the next 4weeks.
Warning!!!!! I am very passionate about feeding my dogs fresh-- Raw commercial and fresh, home-cooked. However, I would sometimes use Hills Z/D canned for one of my poodles who sometimes got GI issues because of food allergies/sensitivities. Z/D is hydrolyzed which means all the proteins are broken down to the point that they will not elicit an allergic response. I would use this maybe once a year for three days when she had a GI irritation. She had perfect blood work and two months later presented with serious kidney issues. It is my sincere belief that it was caused by the Hills. They had a voluntary recall around that time. It is not the case that these companies can be trusted to recall all the lots that might be involved in any of their formulary mistakes or contamination problems.
The point is, even using one of these lousy commercial foods intermittently can have bad consequences. They are terrible for a dogs health long term as they don't supply fresh fatty acids or variety and contain unwholesome waste from the human food industry. And, the recalls are frequent enough that it is like playing Russian Roulette with your best friend.
Poodles have a higher chance of pancreatitis, symptoms including diarrhea and vomiting and lethargy. Hopefully your vet tested for this but if not maybe it’s something you can bring up next time. But usually raw diets are a way to eliminate symptoms of pancreatitis not worsen them. I’m no expert though, just trying to help.
As someone else stated, poodles are prone to pancreatitis, and the trigger is often high fat (COOKED) foods. It’s often stated that high fat in general is the cause because they aren’t thinking about raw feeders, but typically only cooked fats trigger this inflammatory response in dogs that are prone to it. Vets will usually tell you to go on and extremely low fat prescription diet, but many people are able to feed their pancreatitis-prone dog raw food with higher fat levels with no issue.
@@violetblythe6912 My dog definitely can't handle high fat in any form. Her pancreatitis goes nuts. It just depends on the actual cause of it which there are many.
This was very informative!!
Love it, perfect video. Bless you 😃
This is great info! I hadn't considered the differences between raw fed stats, and processed commercial diet feed animal stats.
Thank you for this!
Great video. I liked and subscribed. In May, I caught two kittens in my yard. They are both female. When they were outside, I fed them dry food. I'm slowly transitioning them to a mix of wet food and raw meat. They love ground beef. I have to boil chicken a little, as they won't eat it raw. Thank you for the information.
Thank you so much for posting this video! This is so important and not talked about. You truly are amazing and have helped me and my boy understand and learn about the raw diet. You are so great at explaining and giving us every detail that other leave out. We love watching your videos and your soothing voice. We also love all your babies so much!! Your a wonderful pet mom ❤ sending you love from texas!!
Ps. Give Matsu a big kiss from me! He is so helpful to be our example how wonderful the raw diet is. He’s such a good boy❤
You're so sweet 😭 Thank you for that, it means so much that I've helped you understand raw feeding better. And I sure will, he will appreciate it hehe ❤
super precious video
Thank you so much. Miss your videos.
Sorry I had to take a brief break! I was working hard to launch the Paws of Prey Club :p
@@PawsofPrey Understandable. Breaks are most needed.
could you do a video or recomend what to feed dogs for breakfast. im stuck!!
The best would be to find a vet that supports raw diets. I have 2 breeding females so it was a difficult conversation for sure, but she recommended a freeze dried raw. One just had a litter of 7 healthy, fat puppies.
If a cat eats a bird or mouse, that is fine. But my feeding them, high quality, raw food, meant for humans, I'm somehow hurting them!?
Hi, I LOVE YOURE VIDS
Thank you!!
Will this also be the common case for home cooked fed dogs?
if values are slightly high or slight low how do we ask vets to tell us if they are statistically significant or not
I actually had similar blood results after eating a all meat diet for a few weeks then got my blood tested. I felt amazing btw.
Hi! I watch a lot of your videos about feeding raw and pet nutrition. I can't afford to feed my dog all raw but I also don't wanna keep feeding him kibble. A compromise I have come up with is part raw (commercially prepared) and part wet dogfood. Just wanna ask if this is better than feeding kibble and raw, Im assuming yes because of the moisture but I'm not completely sure since it's hard to find this sort of info. All the things I'm seeing online is mixing dry with raw or wet food with dry kibble 😅 would there be anything to look out for when feeding wet food and raw? (Nutrient-wise)
Wet food can be pretty high in fat and oil so just be careful to check the fat content in what you feed. You could also do a freeze or air dried raw and top with some fresh food too!
Don’t shop for raw food at H‑E‑B OR. TARGET lol… Asian stores have it all and pretty affordable too! I have six dogs and spend about $150 a week to feed them raw. Granted I just started feeding them raw however I was spending about $400 a month on kibble, toppers, treats etc. Now I just cut the treats out and give them real foood
im looking for a joint supplement, any recommendations?
green lipped mussel...helped my sheltie, and she lived to 17 yrs...
Eating raw chicken feet and duck necks (most small dogs can handle these) provide fresh cartilage which has all the supplement they need. Additionally or instead of, Vetri-Science makes a fabulous supplement called "Vetri-Disc" I love the ingredients in this capsule and so I give a couple times a week plus one duck neck (every other week I cut off the top of the neck with poultry shears to avoid giving too much thyroid tissue-- Don't know what too much is for a 14 pound dog and neither do any of the "experts") and usually a large, raw chicken foot (cut off ends of toes with poultry shears to remove nails) and/or raw chicken wing or bone in half breast.
Hi I was wondering so my dog has been stealing grain based foods from the counter tops one time she broke a glass container to get into the biscuits inside my mom said that she had a nutritional deficiency and we needed to switch to a dog food with grain in it ( we had been feeding her a dry dog food that was grain free) do you know why my dog is doing this and if I should still try to feed her raw because this seems like it is disproving a little bit about feeding raw so I’m just wondering if you have any advice for me also I ❤ your channel ❤❤❤
.....your dog wanted food. Because it's a dog. Dogs do not need grains.
@@Dero_milsurp yeah but we feed her every day morning and night I don’t thinks dogs need grain either but my mom is convinced
I'm months late, but yea... your dog just wants food. It doesn't matter if she is full and eats morning and night, most dogs will always jump at the chance to get food. Dogs cannot tell if the food has nutrients they are missing, they don't have x-ray vision into a food's ingredients.
Dogs do not need grains. Plenty of dogs live great lives on grain free as others do on grain-in. A dog also can't tell if they are missing nutrients, like how we don't know. Dogs as well as us feel a little sick, but we don't know why, it's the doctors who run tests and tell us why we feel sick.
If you are worried about your dog being hungry, maybe feed a little more, not too much, but just a tad bit. Or add some toppers like wet food mixed in, that might help make your dog feel more satisfied.
Grains can be addicting to some animals (like it can be in humans) so its not from a nutrient deficiency, your dog is just getting cravings from a food it used to eat (and plus dogs just like anything food if they're food driven).
P.S also be careful with some grain-free foods with legumes, as some of them can bind to taurine and cause a taurine deficiency in dogs. Not to make you worry but just something to keep in mind.
Did you feed a grain based food previously? Unfortunatley, where I live, people love throwing bread for the pigeons and my dog would run around scoffing every piece he could find. I found a few months after switching to raw, he stopped doing it (unless it had just rained and then he might as the bread was all soggy). However, when I go on holiday, I can't bring the raw with me so I use the best quality canned food I can find. But I have noticed that for a few days after eating the canned food, he'll start eating the bread scraps again (and any other rubbish food he can find). After a week or so on raw he stops scavenging.
I’m getting nervous my 1yr old 8/12/22 border collie mix goes to get spayed at end of month. She has always gotten “toppers ” since about 6mo. And so transitioning to raw , the last monthish she usually refuses to eat the kibble and canned dog food portion of her meal. So now she is all raw. I am loosing my nerve some days, Seems I pay more $ on dog the my food. But food in general is getting expensive.
WHY would you get getting your ONE YEAR OLD dog spayed? Your dog still has another full year of development and you want to remove vital hormone secreting tissue?
@@Dero_milsurp One year is a pretty normal time for dogs to get spayed/neutered. Most vets recommend at least 6 months, and for large breed, 12-18 months so her dog’s spayed in the normal range.
@@azureseraph1264 it’s been normalized, it is not “normal”. Vets make money off these procedures. Anything prior to 2 years is extremely risky for the dog because the dog has not matured and still is physically growing. These procedures disrupt physical growth and cause a host of physical and mental problems. It’s amazing you are more nervous about raw feeding than you are a terrible medical choice for your dog.
@@Dero_milsurp First of all, I’m not even nervous with raw feeding and I enjoy watching these vids for the fun of it. Second, why do you insist that vets do such things just to “make money”, most vets don’t become vets for money since they don’t nearly make as much as you think they do. I bet you 99% of vets become vets because they truly care(plus whether they neuter early or a year later, they’ll still get that money anyway). And if you wait 2-3 years just to neuter or spay, your asking for a lot of hormone based behavioral issues later on that will become a habit, plus the potential pain of heat for female dogs. Also, it’s only risky if it’s a “large breed or giant”, a border collie isn’t a large breed since like other smaller breeds, they develop and grow up faster. Everyone has a different feel for “safety” for their dogs, and for me it’s between 1-2 years for neutering. I agree that neutering too early can cause issues, however in between 1-2 years is a safe time to neuter. Don’t pull your bs on others just because what you researched are for large breeds, and not medium and small breeds, plus I have yet to see any source out of 10+ that state dogs have to be neutered at 2+ age other than the few random(non vets) saying that.wellesleyvet.com/pet-health-resources/pet-health-articles/articles/potential-health-implications-of-early-neutering-in-large-breed-dogs/. Also in terms of information (specifically spaying and neutering)like this, I’d rather trust a certified vet than some random stranger on the internet…
@@azureseraph1264 you are absolutely full of shit and have no idea what you are talking about. Vets aren’t correct and good for being vets. They still advocate dry kibble and spay/neutering before 12 months. Entirely negligent. And saying not spaying/neutering will cause behavioral issues is absolutely a lie and no, border collies don’t sexually mature or develop faster. You are the most uneducated, uninformed, pretentious and idiotic person I’ve ever witnessed try and argue for early spay/neuter. If dogs weren’t meant to have their sexual organs, they wouldn’t exist. People like you are why dogs suffer and prematurely pass away to chronic disease.
I'm sure vets hate you heheh go on good girl because you are enlightening the world.
I certainly don't want them to hate me! I'd love it if we could all just work together and be on the same level lol
@@PawsofPrey I can't thank you enough because you are changing the minds.
The veterinarian schools and animal health organizations are paid BIG money by the processed food industry, same with humans. Follow the money
Video idea raw feeding for pregnant and lactating dogs and cats 🐶 🐱
I don’t think I’d tell my vet. They have NEVER ASKED me what I feed our dogs!
Come to think of it, our primary care provider has never asked either.
It seems like it should be the first thing you’d ask any patient about…..human or pet!!😬
Vets come at me angry before we even speak, and go on tirades about bacteria on their fur. Cats and dogs’ stomachs are meant to destroy bad bacteria and control microbial population when healthy. And we live in a world full of bacteria and germs that are vital to life. I’ve become numb to their anger at me as a pet parent, because I see the difference raw feeding has made for my pets.
I eat mostly raw (carnivory), so my cat can surely do it too. My own blood tests would result in the doctor raising their eye brows.
You eat raw meat?
@@strawberryorange3755 yeah, very rare steaks and raw organs. My cheeses are made of raw milk and uncooked type. My yolks are consumed raw so are my fish. Sometimes I eat medium pork when it's been frozen long enough to kill parasites. Many think it's gross, but the diet saves me.
@@Morosiss yeah, I thought these carnivore people were out of their mind. But as I started digging into it out of curiosity during my course of the ketogenic diet, which still relied heavily on plant food particularly vegetables, carnivory made some interesting points. So I decided to give it a try after 6 months on keto, and have been on it for one and a half year. Going raw was a step-up but it wasn't difficult as the texture wasn't completely foreign, except the organs for beginners. Everyone has had some experience with undone steaks, sushi, or poached eggs... What's funny is I was a semi-vegetarian before keto, meaning I ate very little meat, on and off, relying on mostly plant nutrition. I can tell you now that I'm at my best of health, ever.
I've gotten to the point that when we see a different vet in the practice who is not aware of how I feed, I just shrug and don't go into detail about the fact that I feed fresh and don't use spot ons and that I titer vs. over-vaccinate/booster. I'm tired of always being put in a position of defending my intelligence and care of my vibrantly healthy, shiny dog. I actually told the tech last time we were there and she was taking my dog in the back for his exam "Don't vaccinate or neuter him when he is back there as I don't authorize it" . She laughed but got the meaning of my "joke".
Normal results are far from optimal, and for humans it usually means fat, sick, and nearly unalive
Mariah 👍, allopathic vets 👎.
