How To Switch Your Dog To A Raw Diet | The Ultimate Guide 

I have put more effort and research into feeding my dog properly than myself lol He’s gonna be living the high life while I have an iron deficiency and thyroid problem lol

The one dislike is from the dog food manufacturer.

I still watch these types of videos even though my dog has passed away. I always cooked his food but was trying to transition to him to raw by cooking it partially. He was a wonderful boy 🥲🐾❤️

Amazingly described ! My pitbull has been having a couple issues with his ears and paws as he does not stop scratching and biting. Ive never known about raw feedings EVER ! And the benefits theys bring. Thanks for this video . Another subscription for you 🎉👏🏼👍🏼

Raw Diet=Eating what they should be eating anyway

This is the most informative channel I’ve found on raw diets. Thank you so much!

I have been loving your channel. I am taking note of some of the improvements you have made for my own channel. keep it up :)

I love your videos they are so helpful and educational because I learn new things watching them! Sending love to you and your dog 🥰

Such a well edited, informative video. Thank you for making this!

Good quality video it explains things clearly and the visual is clear so it’s easy to understand and pay attention. You gained a new subscriber 🙌🏾

Your videos are a gold mine. Literally been everywhere online for guides

You’re videos are amazing quality, and the editing makes the video fun to watch. Thank you!

Wow, I just discovered your channel, there’s a lot of really helpful information! Thank you

Your videos are literally so informative and phenomenally put together. The quality is insane!

This video is so well made. thank you

Finally watching these, so great! Thank you :D

This video is so much help 😭 I've recently been doing a lot of research on raw diets and I've really not known how to start-

These videos are extremely informational and a great help to figure out how I will transition my puppy to a raw food diet! Although I do have a few questions. When I incorporate the 80% of muscle meats, 10% of meaty bone, 5% of liver and 5% of another secreting organ, which of those should I incorporate the egg, wheatgrass, kelp and anchovies for the supplemental vitamins? Should those be incorporated with those percentages at all? How would you go about knowing how much salmon (for DHA) or wheatgrass (for vitamin E, zinc, and manganese) for my growing puppy? Thank you so much for the information!

Glad I came across this. My GSD no longer wants kibble, so I’m wanting to transition him to raw. I just wasn’t sure where to start.

To my understanding the time it takes a dog to digest meat and kibble is different so you shouldn't mix them in the same meal. I'm currently feeding my dogs with pasteurized meat. Only need to defrost. But sometimes feed raw muscle meat. For some reason my dogs not as excited about the food and some recipes they won't even finish so i am thinking about switching to full raw. This channel is probably the best resource for this. Thank you very much for the great videos.

Finally decided to feed my puppy raw! It seems so, so much better for him! He actually gets excited for his dinner and he seems way less hyperactive! Not to mention the firmer, less toxic smelling poops. His poop on his old diet(kibble + commercial wet) smelled absolutely horrifying to the point you could barely pick it up without gagging

Your videos are amazing! I'm addicted to your vids! And i DONT EVEN HAVE A DOG. Or CAT. Or ferret. Or Hedgie! Love it! I just love seeing your dog/animals live well!

Thanks this was very helpful

Thank you so much!! Super helpful 🙏❤

I like this channel, I'm planning to get a samoyed puppy, hopefully before the end of the year, and I want to feed him raw diet.

Love ur content . Can you provide the resources you used while researching ? Genuinely want to learn. ❤

Your content is amazing! You mentioned that a puppy's raw diet is a bit different; are you able to do a video covering how it's different, show what's needed, and prep it? I'm looking to switch my pups onto raw. :)

I also got a 25lbs corgi! thx for this guide!

Thanks for the advice! We are beginning to transition to RAW this week.

Okay I have a cat not a dog, I am going to get a dog someday but I just looking of a cat one while in the middle of this video and found out you, the same channel had a video on it! I’m subscribing now!

This is so well filmed and informative. I first clicked on your videos bc of the thumbnail but stayed for the info!

Fantastic and insightful, wish I had heard of this so much sooner as my Pomeranian has a sensitive GI track and eats his mess and we can hardly get him to eat his kibbles. Can I cook chicken and salmon for my dog or is the raw version the best for it?

I REALLY wish you had put a list of the food choices you discussed in the video white meat, muscle, fiber and so on. This would've made it a lot easier to shop with. A screen shot is a great thing to have on the phone. Thanks for the video though ! There's a lot of great info here.

You make it sound so easy. If I could just get my psycho husky mix to even try a bite of raw food.

If you make a book on this stuff I will definitely buy it

Do you have a video what to feed them for 2 weeks and so?

I’m in the process of adopting a new pup (yay!) and want to start him on a raw diet. From what vets know he is about 8 months old and he was rescued from the streets of Kuwait. He is currently on a vet recommended food due to concerns with his gut flora, but his foster family said he should be okay to switch out of that. How do you advise I introduce him to a raw diet? Cold Turkey? Or slow integration? If so, I know to start with things like chicken (muscle meat), but can I also have chicken bones as well? I really appreciate your videos! They have been so unbelievably helpful!

I'm good on fruits and vegetables. I've always used those as treats. They've had raw bison from a bison harvest and they've had lamb. Atm I'm starting with ground turkey, and the plan is to get them on lamb and bison. My oldest is picky so that's why, he's not into fish as much. My small dog is fine with ANY. I'm scared but excited to actually and FINALLY doing this. 😅 I've always used a high quality kibble (Pure Balance) because, when I got my 3y as a puppy and he came with Pedigree...dry skin watery diaherea, and acid reflux after eating. Terrible, so I switch him to Pure Balance Venison and Bison and he was fine, shiny coat, no more puking, diaherea. Then found out about raw dieting. So, I think I can do better than kibble.

my main issue is that if i were to go to raw I'd need a replacement for eggs/egg shells my dog has terrible egg allergies, just egg though, every other meat is fine, i started giving him some raw along with his kibble at 4months old, he never even had soft stool from it(he's 2 now), kibble on the other hand causes a ton of issues when ever i've been forced to switch. Ideally, once i figure out my work situation and get my self into a better paying position, i would like to go fully raw with him, the problem is that he cant eat eggs and i prefer the totally ground complete patties (i have no problem buying meat in bulk, and prepping it myself, i already do for a smaller portion) i need a recipe without egg or egg shell that i can make easily at home that is totally balanced, i would be willing to buy bone or horn powder but i need recommendations. Roman loves veggies, fruit and herbs and eats them both raw, cooked and ground, he also loves fish more than life, to give a better idea of what format of raw i'd be doing.

Thank you soooo much.

Great video! I’m looking to start feeding my dog raw food. I think you mentioned ready mixes as an option. Would they still be as good for the dog?

My pups are 9 months old and one has developed what I believe are allergies since may , she has been very itchy with red ears and bumps under her fur that get flakey after a couple days and her eyes are really itchy with hair loss .. my other pup is now starting to itch more ive noticed but no other symptoms, I want to switch them to a raw diet but I’m scared lol it seems so overwhelming, mostly because I’m not sure what my dog is allergic to.. she has an appointment with a holistic vet the 29th so hopefully I can get some good info on what’s going on with her and then I can take the steps needed

I just switched my dogs to raw. The first week I gave them raw in the morning and kibble in the evening and then switched to raw only. They are already seeming healthier with more energy after 2 weeks!!!

i just discovered this video and you don't know how orienting it is. I've been curious about raw diet because my 1 y/o chihuahua mix is reeeaaally picky, we've switched kibble brands and first he eats everything desperately (new flavors rock, apparently), but then he just decides to skip meals or even stop eating for days, and prefers to be hunting in the backyard (I don't let him, but he slips away whenever he's got the chance). He's totally healthy (I take him to the vet very often), even with all the meal skipping, but I'm worried his stomach acid starts to become a problem or something like that. I've been doing some research for quite a while now and it's been sooo overwhelming, I didn't know where exactly to look or where to start. Thank you so so much!

Hello from Malaysia! Will you be doing video of transitioning for cats as well? Please do!

I've been intrigued by the raw food diet after stumbling across it on YT but have reservations due to owning a brachycephalic breed. Do you recommend raw food for all breeds or just those with more traditional snout lengths? Our sweet boy is an 11mo old Boston Terrier puppy who has had gut issues since we brought him home at 8wks and discovered he came with Giardia 😥 since then its just been a money pit of trying to find food that doesn't result in soft, smeary, smelly stool. He also has anxiety issues which I know at least for humans can have a significant tie to diet and gut health which makes me wonder how much his irritated gut is affecting that too. Just want him to be healthy and happy.

I must have gotten lucky with my Doberman puppy, the second we brought him home. I offered him a raw chicken wing just as a treat, and he almost took my hand off 😂. He started eating it immediately out of my hand and left quite a few cuts. Ha! Really didn’t expect that.

A local meat vendor at our farmer’s market sells something called a “pet grind” that’s a combination of muscle meat, organs, and finely ground bone. Would that be safe to serve cooked?

I have a 9 week old puppy that I started giving cooked chicken and ground turkey as a snack ( no additives just the meat itself) I can tell he loves it.. is there much difference on giving him a cooked meat diet vs raw? Id loke to switch him over to raw

I’ve been wanting to feed my Goldendoodle raw for some time now but always been intimidated. These videos help so much but I really am not sure if I should dive her all the way in or slowly . As it doesn’t seem she likes her kibble food anymore, or is bored of it

Does the second method apply to commercial brand cooked food?

Do they eat the same thing for breakfast and dinner or the 2 different kind of meals

Great video!how about cat transition from kibbles to raw?

My Aussie shepherd is 9 months - do you think she’s too accustomed to kibble to transition cold turkey?

This video is goooddddd 👍

Would you recommend The Farmers Dog

Is this information able to be used for cats too? I really want to switch my cats from wet and dry food to raw food and I haven't found much information for switching cats from processed food to raw food.

Can I just switch my dog to the healthy variety mixes on topqualitydogfood to keep it convenient? What do you recommend? I have a 1 1/2 year old Boston Terrier who is on kibble/wet food.

Hi! I just had a quick question. My pup is already eating pre-made raw food, so I was wondering if it would be okay to do the cold turkey method or should I slowly introduce him to the new cuts of meat?

I have three dogs. They all enjoy raw food. I do buy it from a pet store . It's called K9 choice beef Plus. The plus means fruit and veggies. And they always have a bowl of kibble grain free for just free range nibbles. I do prefer them eating their raw food. They as well get duck necks turkey necks chicken feet and a couple times a week Buffalo neck bones. I always hope I make the right choice for my fur babies.

So when you put your dogs ratio the 7.3 MM .9 RMB 0.5 liver and 0.5 OSO is that ratio per meal or per day? This video is great!!!!

I want to transffer my 7 month old pup to raw, but Im scared if I mess it up since she is stil lgrowing and her immuen system is not too strong yet as she was sick just a week ago. She is healing, but I want to do more research and i think I´ll transfer when she is 1 years old. Which is thsi AUGUST!!!

I did raw as treats liver, hearts, chicken feet and muscle meat at first mostly as I wasn’t prepared (my meat grinder and extra freezer hadn’t arrived in time due to the annoying times) so did kibble and treats for 2 weeks then they arrived and we went cold turkey (well not Turkey we dont really get them in Thailand)

Hi! I’m thinking on changing my two dogs to raw food but one of them is very allergic to chicken and Turkey, in this case what can I use to replace it? Thanks! Love your vids

So many websites and forum asked me not to mix kibbles and raw . So I can do that ? Can I mix kibbles and raw ( ground premade) long term ? Just feeding raw is so expensive as I have a giant dog

Our 3 gsds wont eat veggies is it necessary to feed them veggies?

Just sub. You make such High qualify content. I would like to do half and half with my cane corso pup. You make such informational videos. If you don’t mind me asking. Where do you buy the things like kelp and the other things to balance their diet?

My dog just swallows the food and bone with a little chewing, is it ok for his tummy to digest?

I love this channel. I have a 12-13 year old underweight redbone coonhound. He’s very skinny, but he eats a lot. We took him to the vet and they figured out he had worms! We gave him medicine and then he was healthy. He now has diarrhea in the house accidentally and I want to help him with his dental health and digestive health. Any tips? They would be appreciated. :)

I've read raw pork is bad. Can you give me your opinion on this? I have a 15 month old Staffordshire Terrier and want to move him towards a raw food diet. TIA.

Can you do a combination or Raw and kibble? Such as feeding kibble in the morning and raw at night?

My dog is really picky to new food and has a sensitive digestive system. It's stressful she's 3 years old and a chihuahua

I am here out of desperation. I have a dog with suspected IBD. If we keep him on a set prtoein for too long it causes him pain and he constantly has loose stools. I cant get through a working day without getting home to poo in the house even coming back at dinnertime. I have been told that raw food is great for dogs with IBD but I am so scared of trying it. Does anybody have any hints, tips, reassurance other than the helpfulness of this video?

Can i feed my maltipoo raw beef? Do i need to cook?

wait how did you get Matsu's ratios??? Bc I'm trying to figure out the ratios for my doggos (I have six dogs broooooooooooo)

Hey, is there something wrong with my dog if he doesn’t eat his kibble as soon as he gets it? He often eats his food a few hours later than when we give it. I just want to know because all of the pets I’ve seen, they always eat their food right away

My dog refuses to eat eggs. I've tried raw, poached and boiled. She just doesn't like egg. Is there any alternatives? Could I use egg powder and mix it to the meat? Would that have the same benefits?

The leafy greens you recommend like spinach etc. are very high in oxalates, is this not a problem for dogs?

I have 2 Mini Aussie's the young one was raised with partial raw meat. my older dog not. I give them every week once or twice something raw . but want to change them 100% raw. Living in Italy it is very expensive to get BARF or even buying fresh meat. But the little one really wants raw. Any ideas? And they are both approx. 22-24 pounds so how much would I feed each meal (2x's day)

So if I get a puppies of 8 weeks I can switch them to raw right away?

Is this winter from work?

hey love your videos could you tell me how much i should feed my 125 10.5 month old great dane? and what would be best for him??

Great videos! I have a question about transitioning. We feed our Corgi, Artoo a grain-free kibble. 1 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup at night. We want to switch him to Primal raw due to the convenience and I know that we want to do this gradually however I am just not sure about the calories. If we give him a 1/4 cup of raw and 3/4 cup of kibble how do we know the raw is the same calorie content? Artoo is 3yrs old and 42lbs. He is half cardigan half pembroke. I would like to get him to 38 to 40lbs. I just don't want to be overfeeding or underfeeding him during the transition.

Is switching an older dog to raw food bad?

My dog is 7 years old is it safe to switch him to raw also where can I find quality raw meat

Great info other than the plants. Not trying to poison my pup

What is the best way to meal prep for a puppy? I was struggling with figuring this out because puppies grow so much and their needs will change in a short time. How did you do this?

Have a 10 year old German shepherd and day 2 of raw diet is giving her bad diahhrea. How bad can the diahhrea get to be considered normal transitioning period? Its so painful to see her straining to poop

my concern is that my husky will eat the bone whole without chewing because he is greedy...any advice?

How often do you feed your dog ? (How many calories) ?

How many times a day does Matsu eat? Is that 9.2 oz each meal? Or do you divide the 9.2 into each meal for the day?

Hi! I have been absolutely hooked on your channel since getting my puppy and I was convinced to switch him over to a raw diet. I started off with premade bones & co and there was basically no transition period he gobbled it right up. Then I started making my own and I think I went wrong because a week later he had an upset stomach so we took him to the vet. The vet said after an xray that he had what looked like small bones still in his gi tract (I think or his intestines I can't remember exactly where) and that she thinks he's eating too many bones so she wants me to take him off the raw diet. While i'm fine with feeding him kibble for now, I'm wondering where I went wrong. I added around 15% ground eggshell instead of bone and maybe 1-2% pine nuts. I soaked the pine nuts for about an hour but I'm thinking maybe that wasn't long enough and while I ground them in a food processor it wasn't super fine. He's also been eating a decent amount of duck foot & pig snout chews. I don't expect you to diagnose my pup but have you had experiences like this with yours.

Ok so is your dog Yorkie, Australia Shepherd & Blue Heeler?

Rewatched one of your videos and noticed you add a powder for flea/tick prevention. What product do you use? Thanks!

you said you feed your dog 9.2 oz daily.. is this separated through meals (am, pm?) or is this 9.2 oz am, 9.2 oz pm?

okay but where do you source your dogs raw dog food?

My dog became very sick yesterday from raw meat that i mixed with his kibble. He was shaking in pain and had no appetite. Luckily I didn’t have to go to the vet because he was fine the next day after some fasting and then small portions of rice, kibble and kefir. I know it’s not a protein reaction so I wonder why he got sick. I thought maybe a dangerous bacteria? Has someone else had this experience?

Can I feed my dog wild game raw diet

i have a maltese dog and she’s almost 7 years old and she suffers alot from food allergies but i don’t know how to start off
