If you'd like to start being mindful of your pet's gut, I also highly recommend taking a gut biome test to see what your pet's microbiome looks like. This way you know what to add in!

When I got my cat from a rescue, she was 4 yrs old. She was farting and had diarrhea that first night. She also was barfing frequently. So I immediately gave her raw food, and added probiotics and prebiotics as well as raw frozen green tripe. The gussy gut product sounds wonderful by the way. I give her goat kefir most mornings. Occasionally cows milk kefir as well. Trader Joe’s sells a pretty great goat milk kefir. I buy a quart and I drink half of it myself and freeze half of the other half and slowly give her some of the non frozen every morning with her breakfast. Then thaw and serve the remainder once that’s used up. It freezes very well. I was able to find a fermented bone broth at a local specialty pet food store that I switch out for her as well. I’ve had her two and a half years. No diarrhea, no flatulence, very seldom does she vomit. The vet has told me that she’s amazed at how well her health has improved overall. Her fur is much healthier. Her conjunctivitis is completely unnoticeable. Her muscle tone is great. She is a kitten again. I believe firmly in gut health, especially for a cat I got at a senior cat rate because her health was so bad when I got her. Thanks for posting this reminder for us all
That's amazing to hear!! What a great testimony to fresh and fermented foods, thanks for sharing :)
It's funny how our pet microbiome is so similar to our own. Thank you for the priceless information to keep our furry friends healthy! ❤
You're so welcome!
Truth.
Even though I feed my lil guy mostly cooked food, I always love watching these videos.
While dogs are descended from the wolf, I think it’s important to realize that they ARE NOT wolves.
I personally believe that the raw prey model diet isn’t necessarily optimal for all breeds. While the prey model idea makes a ton of sense, I return to the fact that dogs aren’t wolves and the fact that there are so many benefits that can be unlocked by feeding various veggies, fruits and berries, although in small amounts. This is because of the vast gut benefits and the unique nutrients that can be found. I also believe that certain herbs and spices can be hugely beneficial as well.
That said, I 100% agree that the diet should be heavily meat based, containing healthy animal fats and a variety of animal foods for an overall rich and diverse nutrient profile.
I also believe that certain breeds that are more “wolf-like” likely do better on raw diets and prey model diets than breeds that have strayed further from their wolf ancestors.
There’s this company that makes good premade raw for cats and dogs called Mush, and they got some food they call hellä that got fermented vegetables in it. And I think that’s amazing because of all of the good benefits it got for the pets gut health 😃
Thank you for including us in this fermentation video, Paws of Prey! Also, we use grass fed goat kefir in Gussys Gut! So your dog also gets a little kefir with GG as well 😊
I am gonna sub to Gussys Gut!❤❤❤
Do you have a product for cats?

My new favorite channel!
My dog loves Gussies gut!!!
yea!!! new video!!!
Fantastic video!
Four Leaf Rover sells a good soil based probiotic powder. Four Leaf Rover was created by Dana Scott, founder of Dog Naturally Magazine. Dana has been a visionary for natural dog health including balanced raw feeding for a long time-- A pioneer, one could say, for the science of natural, common sense, Dog health.
I've been loving your videos for a while now. Thanks for all the tips and tricks ❤
This was good.
I've heard of Gussy's Gut before, but I never felt obligated to take a closer look at it. Now, I see it's benefit.
Thanks for this incite! 👍🏿
I'm wondering where to let my dog eat his raw chicken leg quarters. Mainly, I'm wondering about after meal clean-up, as regards to contamination. I thought maybe the bathtub would be an easy place to clean up, but not much fun for my dog. Outside, I thought it would attract critters. Floors are carpeted, or have cracks.... Any tips for anyone else on how they handle this aspect?
I feel like I completely over look prebiotics! 😩 thanks for mentioning Gussy’s gut prebiotic powder… definitely will be getting some for my senior boy! ♥️
You're very welcome! And if the code isn't working, I'd wait a bit and order later. I think they're figuring out the issue with it now!
I'm currently using Carna4 Flora4 sprouted seed probiotic, it looks really similar to the last one! I was able to special order it through a boutique pet store
Thank you for informative videos. I followed your guide to feed my puppy. He seems to be very excited about raw food. In the first time he was fed the chicken paw (5 days ago), he chewed it for long time before swallowing it. Yesterday I noticed that he chewed it couples of times and swallowed whole. I would like to ask if you have any tips or recommendation for me to keep him chew the meaty bones properly before swallowing?
My bullmastiff has problems with skin allergies and throwing up occasionally despite me feeding the best diet I can which happens to be half a very high quality kibble and half viva raw as well as various toppers. I started feeding him a natural supplement called progility and this seems to have fixed his problems by about 80 percent.
I LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad!!
@@PawsofPrey Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Only 2 doses of Apoquel disrupted my dog's GI tract so bad, her stomach is so much more sensitive. She had HGE which also triggered an overgrowth of c. perfringens enterotoxins. I regret giving it to her, but it was so frustrating watching her be so itchy and scratch her skin until it bled.
Right now, I feed a fresh diet but she still has spring/summer seasonal allergies which I just try to treat with anti-histamines, probiotics, topicals and monthly baths.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Also please do a video on aflatoxin and how its found in grain dog food. Also how the FDA is still investigating the link to non hereditary DCM and its connections between diets.
What’s about beef tripe? Would this be similar to the fermented grass?
Hi! Can u please make a video on the best lean meat for dogs with a low fat diet? Thank you :D
I need help. My cat had a really bad stomach infection and the vet had him on a long span of antibiotics. Now he's allergic to everything including things that are supposed to help. I tried colostrum and he immediately threw up. I tried probiotics and I feel like it made him itchier. I tried digestive enzymes and it made him itchier. He's allergic to fish oil, mussels, every protein but chicken. Right now he can only eat Stella and Chewy freeze dried food. I don't know if its because there is some pre and probtiotics in that food but when I tried feeding him complete raw chicken from Raw paws, that made him itchy too 😢
Do I have to add in kelp for iodine along with gussy’s gut?
How often should u feed these like once a week and switch or
Omg i love you for making this! My cat has been so itchy and we can't figure out why and she is on a raw diet. It never ends!!! I'm going to try this. THANK YOU!!!
P.s. where do you buy the soil based probiotic
You're very welcome, I hope it helps! Four Leaf Rover has a pretty good soil-based probiotic supplement
Can cats use gussy guts or four leaf rover probiotics? Thought it was just for dogs?
@@laurenfromatlanta It's marketed for dogs, but they can be used for cats as well
She may have a food allergy! Mine cat had been somewhat itchy too!
Can you post your kefir recipe please ?
Any recommendations for cats?
I have a question. How much Kefir would anyone recommend I give my 4 month old kittens?
So if I feed my dog the gussy gut am I good for gut health or do I need to mix things up?
Pet health is also important for pet owners who love the pets as family member, herbal remedies are good option to maintain the pets' health like Planet Ayurveda's Herbal Collection
I have an existential crisis. If the meat you buy came with a little piece of grass, is it still safe? It's just that, just today I bought ground beef (I'm barely getting my cats to eat their new diet) and When I was going to give it to them, I realized that had a little pice of grass and although I removed it, now I am a bunch of nerves 😫 pls Help me
My dog just got put on hill’s prescription GI biome diet 😞. Also the visbiome probiotic. Native pet’s probiotic had us at the vet this last time unfortunately. It instantly cleared up his tummy issues and I’m waiting to see if it helps his allergies and acid reflux. I’m hoping if it proves all he needs is dietary intervention I can get a vet to formulate him a raw diet to do the same thing as this prescription diet. Background: I’ve done balanced DIY raw and multiple pre made raw brands all with no avail.
I called that company because we were using their products. They couldn’t/wouldn’t tell me one single piece of information I was looking for because every question I asked about food content and the ‘extras’ like the biome food, the allergy food, etc. was PROPRIETARY! So because it’s a ‘trade secret’ the customer cannot find out any ingredients! I was gobsmacked.
The product is for cats and dogs?
There's this brand (British brand?) they sell in my country, The Kefir Company. I can make kefir out of this. I haven't found anyone else who's used this but I'm assuming it's safe? 🤔
Gussy's Gut appears to be specifically for dogs. Can it also be used for cats? At the same dosage of 1 tsp per 10-20 lb?
Yes it can, it's just marketed for dogs. I would feed a little less to a cat than what's recommended for a dog, though!
why not mention colostrum as a prebiotic? also thanks for sharing that gut health is important
Ahh I should have mentioned it! It would have been a great addition.
Feeding my 6 doggos some Greek yogurt- or fermented okra on different days. Do you have any suggestions on finding a good soil based probiotic to switch things up with.
Honestly, feeding outside on the ground is the best you can get! Of course, you want to make sure the area wasn't sprayed with pesticides and that wildlife don't frequently defecate there as well (while some poo is fine, some may carry parasites) but if you aren't comfortable with this, I believe Four Leaf Rover has a soil-based probiotic. I also like Adored Beast.
The discount code does not seems valid when I type it in 😢
PAWSOFPREY. No spaces :)
@@GussysGut tried..code not valid
@@GussysGut didn't work for me either 😔
@@janeandmocha the code didn't work? Let me check on this and I'll get back with you!
Yep didn't work for me either
Gussy gut for cats?
If vets "Were only trying to help' then they would research carnivore nutrition. Surprising how unwilling most US trained vets are willing to think.
Cant blame them they are just using what they’ve been taught in school. Sucks that the school dont teach them better.
I'm going to be blunt. This video was nothing more than an advertisement. And Gussy's Gut is too expensive. I'm spending almost $600 a month for my three small dogs. My previous dog cost me just $20 a month. I can't afford for me to eat healthy because of how expensive my current dogs have become. And they're not even old dogs. They're all around the age of three years old. Raw food, preventative supplements, dog enrichment, everyone makes everything sound like it's absolutely essential for dogs and their well-being. My grandmother didn't feed any of this stuff or do any of this stuff and her BIG dogs lived into their 20's, something unheard of today. $30+ for a supplement is too expensive. (That's what Gussy Gut's SAMPLE cost.) $90 for one supplement is out of the question. If Pet companies can't find a way to make things less expensive for pet owners, eventually people are going to stop owning pets because it's getting just too darn expensive. And that's going to mean a lot of homeless dogs and dogs that lose their lives because they've just become too unaffordable and time consuming for people. I make homemade food for my dogs. But that gets crazy complicated. When pets become so time consuming and complicated to care for, fewer and fewer people are going to be able to own pets. I don't need more suggestions of supplements. I need to simplify things, make things less expensive, make it so that instead of me becoming my pet's slave, I return to having a beneficial symbiotic relationship with them. And I can't do that if I'm overwhelmed with the cost and effort of owning a pet. Kefir, I can afford. Gussy's Gut I can't. And I'm not poor. But I have a mortgage, utilities, insurance, taxes, and all sorts of expenses. I'm middle class. I'm not poor. But this has just gotten too damn expensive!
Hi Linda - we understand your concern. You don't need Gussy's Gut. Just ferment for your dogs. I think Mariah was trying to offer Gussy's as a convenient option. We interviewed her a while back for our podcast and have been friends for a while now. We're thankful for her friendship and endorsement. And finally, yes, the highest-quality food and nutrients do cost more. There are always ways to source and DIY much cheaper though. That's the good news! We wish you and your three all the best!💚
I totally understand, supplements can add up! Luckily you have other options. For healthy dogs that eat a species appropriate diet and spend some quality time in nature will naturally have a pretty diverse gut biome. Reducing the amount of vaccines given and medications can also help keep the gut in tip-top shape.
I absolutely understand what you were saying. But remember, you don't half to get any of these products. Just feeding a good raw diet is going to solve a whole Lotta problems very quickly. Raw, feeding has become a money industry. And people are spending ridiculous amounts of money but they don't have to. Go back to the basics.
@@nogames8982 thank you for this! You’re so right. We always say, ferment yourself! Just get fermented superfoods into your dog’s diet! And they’re are always clever ways to make a high quality diet happen for your dog(s)! Always!
