Do These 3 Things Before You Start Raw Feeding 

Been feeding my dogs partially raw for almost a year now and they love it. I say partially raw as it's part raw and part kibble. That way there's still some meal prep but I don't have to go overboard and they still get super excited every time for dinner. I tried going all raw for a while but they actually would stop eating it and fully expected kibble. So that's just how it works for me.

I found a raw food co-op near me that has a ton of options for raw feeding. Googling "raw food co-op near me" takes you to a couple of helpful lists with info for different states/areas. Hope this helps someone! 🙂

I love this video it keeps it real. personally, I can't make the commitment and going for commercial raw but I Admire these amazing people that can do this ❤

I'm so pleased and relieved to have found your channel - thank you for the level of detail you put into your videos. A 5 year old dog I recently adopted went into heat within one week and "unfortunately" became impregnated by one of my other two male dogs (also both adopted strays) as I didn't get them separated soon enough. Eight puppies were born last night and all seem to be doing just fine, though I haven't intruded into their quiet spot too much yet other than to supply mom with plenty of food and water, clean up duties, etc. It's quite a nerve-wracking experience for me, it being my first experience of a litter. I am very motivated to give them all the best start in life that I can but I know that I physically and financially won't be able to keep all 8 of them. Two maybe and that would take my total up to five dogs and I already have 8 cats. Sorry to ramble but I just wanted to say about my concern with them most probably not being continued on an all meat diet if and when they are re-homed and the kind of stress that they will most likely go on to experience suddenly transitioning from an all-meat diet to one of more convenience - kibble/canned food/etc. Has anyone had experience of such transitions and their effects or am I worrying over nothing? I live in Italy now but am from the UK and, whilst I don't want to anger any Italians out there, the way that dogs in the countryside are looked upon and looked after out here falls a bit short of what I my experience of dog-owners' attitudes were in the UK. Therefore, I think that me finding "suitable" new owners will be difficult and this may mean that I'll have them for longer than the 2 months I had planned, meaning that they will be very accustomed to their raw meat!

Such a fan! Thank you so much for this work over the years!

Hello just found your channel and love the videos. If possible can you show me (Us) on how to make a balance meal for cats using Raw Miami. I would like to know how to balance 80/10/10 for my Sphynx just with using them and whatever supplements are needed. Thank you

Great video! And so true about the propensity to have some false starts! I’ve found that over time the recipe formulation, shopping and prep process gets so much easier. It’s not like scooping kibble out of a bag but it starts to feel natural and get done quickly!

Is there any guide you have for all the raw food you can feed your cat and what category they fall under? I’m trying to be safe when buying all my raw food, and I wish there was just some guide that showed all the meats you can buy and what category they fall under (muscle meat, secreting organ, etc)

What do you think of BIXBI’s freeze dried dog food and also Rawbistro’s dehydrated dog food?

I started watching your videos a long time ago in preparation for getting myself a puppy. My now 6 month old bullmastiff puppy loves his raw food and does very well on it. You have been my primary source of information for raw feeding and My puppy and I would like to thank you.

Would a live poultry market be a good idea for getting whole prey? There is a market close by and from what I can see, they have rabbits, ducks, and chickens

Guys , when you going to raw feeding, buy a natural probiotic and give them…. It was hard but we did it…. We was using metod with boiling, boiled to half boiled and when stomach was okey i was boiling less and less, and then to totally raw..

It`s better to doi it straight away, as quicker you do it better for your pet, been feeding all my 6(frenchie,cane corso and labrador) dogs raw for the past 4 years, everytime i have a litter from them i start my puppies on raw.

I just ordered BJ’s Raw Pet Food. It’s pretty affordable and they’ve taken all the guess work out of it. I’m new to Raw and they seemed like the best fit for me. Wish me luck with the transition phase as one of my pugs has a very very sensitive stomach

Unfortunately I don't have the time or commitment to food prep thoroughly and also the fact that in the local supermarket i can't find all the parts needed instead I included from time to time some beef, chicken or fish along with the normal dried food... will that be harmful?

Hi I just had a question. I've been feeding my kitten pmr since I got her at 8 weeks and she's been doing great. I used to feed her 5 times a day since she would eat very little at one time so I had to give more smaller meals. She just turned 4 months old and I've made it 4 times a day about every 5 hours (7.30am-10.30pm). I feed her 8% of her body weight but today she was meowing for food even though there were two hours till her next mealtime. I gave in and fed her and she finished almost all of it meaning she was actually hungry. Now I'm not sure what to do if this happens again. I've heard kittens should be allowed to eat whenever they want since they're growing so should I keep her mealtimes or feed her if shes hungry earlier?

thank you so much i will try my best to help my cat 😊👍🏻

Hi! What is your insight on re-freezing? When i prep my dog’s raw meals, i cut organs into 1 inch strips or cubes and freeze them. I thaw it partially once a week, just enough so i can break off that week’s portion and refreese right away.

When you cook chicken just give them a little. My cat use to love chop meat and raw salmon. Carots too. Let them decide what they like.

Thanks for the video! My dog got diarhea even when I gave- just the one end part of the chicken wing- added to her current regualr diet. My vet tested the poo and said she had a high bacteria count in the stool, for which she gave anti biotics (I did not give them to her. So, I have started mixing cooked meats to the kibble, or egg. The kibble is so expensive I am almost sure home made would be cheaper- and of course more nutritious. My dog weighs under 20 pounds, but I am concerned about pancreatitis as my dog breed is suseptible.

My 6 month old XL bully has been on cooked food but now I’m switching to raw, she’s has really bad stomachs but I know it takes time. I’m just introducing it bit by bit

Sadly I don’t find fresh raw food even for human in my area, Do you think it’s okay if i did the recipe but with cooking? (Mostly steaming) I’ll never include bones so no worries! I decided to add bone meal instead

The GI upset is just the gut changing the microbiome from a grain and byproduct meal to one that is more supportive of a carnivore diet. After a short while it becomes stable and the upset stops.

I feel like I won't be committed to a raw diet feeding BUT I will be committed to a whole prey feeding since it's easier to do than raw feeding

I prefer boild it still good

Hi please can you help. Based on 80/10/10 i have 3kg of meat should I be adding be 300 grams of bone meal & 300 grams organs for 3000 kg meat? Sorry I'm only asking as I think I screwed up my recipe

Homemade raw diet become a little ridiculous where I live in because we have food shortages right now. Even to get eggs and raw chicken just too hard to find or even a little too expensive and need to get them more state next door. A lot of raw diet feeders in my country already slowly stop giving raw food and starting to get much more reliable like kibbles or can food. So if you still can get good supply then good for you.

why do you use prey over barf?

Go to your local emart or international mart. They have everything lol

The first step in building a raw diet is to get a CBC done on your animal and ALWAYS add fruits, Veggies, and starches

Any food change causes upset stomach to dogs.... even different kibble

Hi I have an important question, I think your videos have been great and really hope you see this. So far with all I've seen you post, this diet would almost be considered a Keto diet except it has low fat content and high protein. Are dogs in ketosis on the diet you've recommended, should there be more healthy fats introduced? Since the body gains its energy from carbs or ketosis how are the dogs getting evergy without fat or carbs? Thanks in advance!

Currently i still live with my parents and my parents don't want to raw feed our dog even tough i tried everything to change their minds. But i want to raw feed my future dog and i also want to get a license to be a hunter, so i plan on feeding whole pray to my future puppy from my own hunted meat. Is there something to keep in mind when feeding whole pray or can you just feed them any dead animal?

HELP for my 3 year old raw fed smooth-coat border collie. Raw fed 2 plus years, always brush him, deficient? Ideas appreciated. ❤

I love watching your videos. I would like to start feeding my dog ​​raw food, but I have a big problem, he refuses to eat raw meat. I'm disappointed and I know it's all because of the kibbles. Veterinarians convinced us that kibbles are the best food, but I know they are not. I'm very disappointed, but at least he eats it when it's cooked.😥Do somebody knows how to solve this problem? 😭😩

I’m really new to raw feeding. Wouldn’t giving your pet raw meat from hunted game give them worms?

one of the things you should do before raw feeding is cook the meat🤣 you get about 120% more from cooked meat, the only reason human advanced so fast from the cavemen stages because we started cooking, gave our brains the nutrition to grow😎

I can’t get over my apprehension to give my dog raw chicken legs…..seems like so much could go wrong from pieces of bone lacerating his his intestines to salmonella…..

i hate killing animals- so how do we make meals for our dogs with just enought meat and the rest plants???

About how many animals would have to be treated like a commodity, killed and slaughtered to feed one 50 lb dog raw for 15 years? Is there a way to feed whole foods that causes less collateral damage? I don't doubt feeding raw is healthier than dry kibble. But dry kibble uses a lot of waste from human food processing and vegetable matter. Is there a way to feed fresh that just uses animal waste products and plants?
