How I Meal Prep Raw Food for Dogs 

SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK HERE!

I love your chart!!! What a big help! Going to use and alter as I need. Thanks so much for all the info! Im just getting started with raw for my Doberman. Thanks so much for sharing.

4 years later... how are the dogs doing health wise? As a certified k9 nutritionist who's been feeding raw for 20yrs, you're doing a wonderful job! Your explanations are great and really make things simple for new raw feeders.

So glad to see you back!! I'm getting a new puppy this weekend who we will be raising raw. It's been so much help watching your videos. thank you

Your chart looks like an offensive coordinator play card. I love it, great job!

Thanks for the informative video. We buy as much food as possible in bulk, on sale or "date-expired". We butcher the meat products into a variety of serving-sized portions then place on cookie sheets (covered with plastic wrap) to freeze. Once the meat is frozen, then we place the product into appropriate sized baggies that are dated and labelled and placed into our large chest freezer. We keep an inventory of food supplies in a spreadsheet that shows the number and weight of each bagged item. The inventory is updated as we assemble a week's worth of meals for our three dogs. We have found that taken the time to butcher and separately freeze items saves a lot of time when we assemble meals (which we do on a weekly basis, and we're usually two weeks ahead in our meal prep. It takes about 35 to 40 minutes to assemble a week's worth of meals. I like those freezer containers you use but for us, that wouldn't work as their not large enough to hold meals for our two biggest dogs. We might give it a try for our smaller 12 pounder though. Similarly, we use charts for tracking feeding amounts in detail: weekly amounts of organ, meat, liver and bone. One decision we made early on when we started 6 years ago, was to calculate all amounts in metric. It was worth the learning curve to do this as it made the amounts so much easier to calculate and quite a lot easier to set up calculations in spreadsheets. I sure wish that there were more videos like yours six years ago. It would have made our "logistics" a lot easier. I think you are doing dog-owners a great service! Thank you.

Can you please make a video about supplements! Love your videos btw. Very detailed and has definitely helped me get a good idea on how to start. Thanks!

This is a great video! I love how organized you are. You should do all my prep work now, haha! :) Very helpful, thank you for sharing.

Peoples dogs are eating better than I am.

I just want you to know, I've been researching raw for a couple of months and have racked my brain about how the heck I was going to get my girl a balanced diet. Your chart is like the answer I've been needing! Thanks so much for sharing!

Your dogs are lucky to have you.

Yes, I will like to have a video for the supplements that you give toyour dogs!!

Super thankful! Thanks!

The chart is amazinggg

Reditainer makes 64oz containers in extreme freeze! I don’t need that large but just ordered some smaller ones for the smaller dogs. ☺️

With excess meat I use them to make baked meat treats or packed dehydrated nuggets. My dog loves them.

Great video

One of the best examples of a raw diet ive seen from a youtuber in a long time. Only thing i would change is instead of chicken thigh id give leg quarters. Much more bone and excelpent calcium to meat ratio

Hi! I hope you are still taking comments and questions. I have a few questions. Your videos are very informative and have such great information. I have an 11 week old Akita puppy. I'm really eager to start him on his raw food diet. I'm a bit nervous as to how. I like the chart idea. How would I calculate what % of the weight of each item for him would I give, and how much a pound per day? And are boneless chicken breast or thighs ok for him to have every now and then?

I couldn't find the link to get started. I need to know how much of each item to feed each dog. I remember seeing a photo somewhere of each item in a bowl: meat, bone, egg, veggies, etc. Thanks!

I was wondering if you could clarify as I am new to Raw and want to start. Based on my dog he should have to eat a daily intake of 2 pounds of raw with 1.15 being muscle meat along with the other stuff. Considering I plan to feed my dog twice a day does that mean I am supposed to portion 1/2 of the 1.15 of muscle meat along with 1/2 of other items so to be able to do the twice a day feeding ? Thanks

Hi, thanks for the info! I have more fridge space than freezer space. How long do you think meat is ok in the fridge? A few days? Also, in your other video you said you give your dogs vegetables, but I don't think you show that or talk about how (sorry if I just missed it). Do you give them veg with meat or separately or not at all? Thank you!

Can you do this for my English bulldog she 6 months old, and alway ate kibble. I would love a meal prep that way I can try it. And do I need to give her supplements like I am now? Thank you in advance

WOW! You are SO organized! I love watching your videos. My dog is 10 but want to start feeding him a raw diet. My Harley is 70 pounds like your one dog. Would you be willing to share your laminated sheets that I could print out and use?

Thank you so much for these awesome videos!! Please do more ! Just a questions, do you fast your dogs? Im new to raw and i dont know wether or not too. I cant seem to get any kind of defonitive answer when researching. Thanks!!!

Appreciate your video but I have one question, my puppy arrives tomorrow and I'm curious if it's okay to do kibble for a couple of weeks and then switch to raw? He's about 8 weeks old (Maltipoo)

Since you feed your dogs twice a day, do you just put half the food in the bowl in the morning and half at night, or do they get two containers a day?

How can I do the transition to a raw feeding diet for my 6 months old pitbull??? She’s is on natural diet but instead of raw cooked

Do you get your meat from a regular grocery store? Thanks for an informative video!

coats are beautiful and glossy !!

Hey! I was wondering those meals you made are they a 1 meal you do for your dogs or do you spread meals over the day? If that makes sense... I remember you said in a previous video they have chicken for breakfast or something? Sorry, first time for me, doing my research :)

@theotherparker how much do you spend a week on average? It has been really expensive for me

Another great video, supplements as was stated would be great.....

I'm so confused with everything! Your videos are helpful! I'm reading some books & researching. I'm just don't understand how much bone to give my puppy. She's 36lbs I feed her 2 times a day. If you could help I appreciate it. I looked at the site with the one calculator you had on your one video. I just don't understand the percent!

How do i figure out how much and what my dog needs? She a smaller mix dog and gets very sick from fatty meats. So i find myself going back to kettle, but that gives her skinissues. I'm so lost D: Just want her go have a diet that works for her.

Are they ok eating the food cold from the refrigerator?

How many meals a day do they get? I'm wanting to feed my dogs raw meat but I want to do it right. Also what about Vegetables or anything else? Like do you give them vitamins or anything?

Is it ok to stick to one type of bone meat. Like just stick with chicken bones, but add beef or pork to their diet. I'm just nervous of letting my dog have cow bones or pork bones. Also can dogs have chicken legs for bones?

Where do youu shop for hearts, kidneys, and liver? Cant seem to find a store near me that sells that stuff

I'm just starting and I really need good tips I have a 6 year old jackiechan German shepherd Doberman lab mix and 2 year old Jasper lab retriever husky German shepherd mix and 11 month old jazzy kuvasz and maremma mix and 4 month old java Akita German shepherd chow chow mix and I would like to prepare them ahead of time and feed them the right amount please help me out with information

Would you suggest grinding the meat and bones up for a puppy?

thanks for the vids

Do you feed them any dog food at all?

I believe in one of your videos, you said that your dogs go back packing with you? We do overnight backpacking trips with our dog, and I was wondering if you had any tips on how we can pack meals for a raw fed pup. I have found freeze dried food, and that is my plan at the moment, but if you have any ideas or tips, they would be much appreciated! Thank you so much :)

Hi - in your videos you defrost the meat and then refreeze - I always thought this was a big no-no or does that rule just apply to humans? Fantastic videos btw thanks for taking the time to do this.

If someone were to ween puppies to raw food what would the best meat to give to the puppies?

How many times a day do you feed your dogs and how many pounds per day? I just got a Doberman puppy and want to raise him on a raw diet.

where you get your shirt from

Hi Parker, I have a 4 month old puppy at 26 lbs. I am just starting to feed him raw. How did you figure out the ratio 80/10/10? per meal. Thank you

My dog is a thick boned 20lb Westie Chihuahua mix. Is there a way you can create me a cool chart similar to yours ? She’s not a very active dog though.

Where do I get one of those charts?

How did you figure out all the amounts for your dogs? I have a 25lb dog and an 80lb dog (he probably could lose 5-10 lbs he's a lab Rhodesian pit mix). I'm unsure on how to figure out the right amounts.

could you a video on how to feed pups a raw food diet? or does it not differ that much in nutrition

Are they ok eating the food cold from the refrigerator

Hey, please respond. I just bought raw meat for my pup. what do i do next? Do I go ahead and take the meat out of its packages, put it in a container, and place it in the REFRIGERATOR (not freezer) for three days, then give it to my dog?

You said your containers are to small but you didn't fill them

Would you be able to send me an email of that chart that’s awesome! And would be great to have aa a reference! As I just started feeding raw

SARF Diet :) SARF - species appropriate raw food - absolute best thing!!

Hi, I couldn't find u out in instagram

Anyone feed whole day old Chicks? I have snakes too that eat them. I feed them Frozen solid, so my dog has to work harder. He's eaten them frozen for years, no problems. Why do you thaw everytime?

Also if you give your dogs raw eggs, how many a day should they get?

I'm lost .... LOL. Wow

You’re brave doing this in a carpeted room.

WAY WAY TOO MUCH WORK! I literally do not have time for all this. Is there are dog food that is already prepare with all of this in it? I have a small 7 lb white toy poodle.

Thanks for the videos! We don't have a dog yet, but we're looking for one so I'm researching raw now. I'm curious to know how much you spend on these 20 meals for both dogs? We're looking at getting a Grate Dane and from what I've found he/she will need about 2.5 pounds of food per day. I've found some raw food co-ops in my area and am finding their pre-made food is about $3.50/lb. What about Tripe, do you feed tripe? I hear it's a great thing.

lol can I have a printout so I can edit it to my dog needs

This looks like a lot of work

Learning all of this and wanting to feed my dogs (two boxers and boy and a girl) they are active and relitivly normal sized but my girl just had puppies for the third time and shes having a really hard time gaining weight back and I have a cheap cheap cheeeeaaap mother and I am below the age of getting a job in my town and my dogs seem just with their age I want then to have more energy and a better diet besides damn kibble its horrible

I never knew it was safe to feed raw pork ,I thought dogs would get worms from pork

Seeing you cut the meat on a plate scares me

Pas de viande cru et pas d'os.

No good to feed them fish oil

With dogs you don’t have to be that specific. I have been feeding my 4 dogs with raw food and l don’t spend a quarter of her time doing it. I just put a little bit of everything (raw food) and mix it with kibble and all my dogs (great dane, saint Bernard, Komondor and a Yorkshire) look beautiful in every aspect. When you become too specific with them, their system becomes specific as well. At the end, they are animals and they have been living for thousands and thousands of years without any specifications.

I am sorry but this video is too long for no reason.

When my dog eats organ meat she gets lose stool.

She talks so much man.

I like the video but if you guys listen to how much she says umm.. xd

Too long. Did not learn from this video

Great video
