I read Dr Ian Billinghursts Give your dog a bone 25 years ago and have never fed my dog commercial food since. I have argued with my Vet over the decades about kibble and now also about vaccination. Thank you for affirming my choices. PS have raised beautiful healthy large breeds who have enjoyed variety in their diets.
17:40 A better diet definitely affects their behavior. Aren't you cranky when you don't feel good? Or hungry? Dehydrated? And they can't just say, "Hey Mom. My tummy hurts. I have a headache! I'm hungry...I know that I just ate and pooped, but I am hungry again already!" Im positive that it'll make a difference! I have bought my last bag of kibble. And my dogs already love Fresh Pet, so I am sure they are going to love an all raw/fresh diet. They are elderly already (almost 13 & almost 16) and they will LOVE it!!! Thanks for all the information and advice. The interviewer asked great questions, and the Dr answered everything very well. Excellent interview, very informative and helpful!
Ah! I didn't know I need to keep the kibble in its original bag! I feed 80% Raw. I just can't let the kibble go. Idk why. It's excellent quality but ... I need to get rid of it completely. After watching this I'm convinced to go 100% Raw/ homemade. Thank you for this awesome video! Most people think us raw feeders are killing our dogs. Maybe this will help more people feed their animals healthier.
Helps if you have a local group to buy bulk from a meat company. I did this for a collie and it extended his life when diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Next time I would feed more Tripe. Turkey/chicken bones are softer and a semi thawed turkey neck acts as a natural tooth cleanser. Good luck to all starting RMB.
My ES has had a great additional 5 years, after I almost lost him due to feeding just "quality" kibble. I had no idea about kibble till he started failing at 4!!! Now I know. He's so much healthier than he ever was before... zesty and full of life!
17:00 THIS is happening with my 11 month old doodle after switching from kibble to homemade food with some raw. I'm still learning how to formulate but wow is his coordination and comprehension already so much better! Never going back ❤️❤️ Thank you for empowering people with access to the healthiest info! Our furbesties deserve the best too🤗🤗
@@les3259 The first youtuber that reignighted the passion to feed raw was @Loulou & Friends. The way she feeds her dachsunds was amazing and full of love and wisdom. I'm proud of us! I LOVE @Paws of Prey too!! I'm sooo grateful to have them to learn from! I love that we can gain more quality time with our fur babies through this journey. That is priceless.
Actually one time my dog pooped out a bone chard from a duck wing 1.5 inches long. I believe the duck wing was either too dense for her or I fed too much one at once. There is only so much stomach acid available. She has no problem with chicken wings and is not a gulper and has eaten raw for many years. Lesson learned... the stomach acid may not always take care of a bone if too much bone is fed or it is too dense for the dog.
There’s a family slaughter house few miles from my place, I go there early morning, owner just tell me grab what you want in the trash. Doesn’t look like much to human, but for my dog, it’s like heaven. Lamb, cow, and chicken organs and unwanted parts. My Belgian malinois is 12 now, and she still roll like she is 5 years old. You want to take it further with longevity, fast your baby twice a week. Let her organ rest and reset, you’ll have a happy long life puppy as a companion.
@@JL-wm6jb 24 hours, Monday and Friday. That’s when I fast too. Water only. Rest of the days, it’s all organs , eggs, bone, fish, beef, chicken and lamb. Absolutely no pork.
PLEASE... Don't feed dogs sardines packed in oil! It's highly processed, cheap, high Omega-6, GMO oils, like canola, corn, soy... Go with 💧 water based sardines. They have their own perfect Omega-3 oil, without the added highly inflammatory omega 6 seed/"vegetable" oils. 🙂
Wow! I asked this question on another video. Can dry carb food make a dog present like AdHd. You answered in this video.. Thank You!! I will now be educated to go talk to my friend about his doggle. And her DRY kibble. It's getting hot out and she don't touch it till midnight. He does empty it into a plastic dog food bin without the bag .
My pour dog Miko was diagnosed yesterday with MCT cancer. I started her and her sister on the ketovore diet. I got them a really good healthy kibble. Im giving them beef stew meat, sardines in water, pink salmon cand. Skin and bone are included in the salmon. Beef liver, chicken gizzard and bone broth and a very small slice of bacon.
My dog wouldn't eat half of that. She's new to me. What do you do with picky eaters? She was fed commercial raw food. The sample they gave me stinks. I'm trying to transition her to home-cooked. I don't trust raw if it originates in a slaughter house or commercial facility. I live in the suburbs. No livestock allowed and I couldn't kill them if I had them.
@oldladyfromnm7590 try that for like 3 days, then slowly trade out the rice and chicken with something else. Dogs can get fat of too much rice, but it's good for a few days to help transition to new foods. It's also good when they are sick.
24:00 My dog was one of these dogs that didn’t want to eat raw food. My senior dog loved it but my younger one didn’t. We went through many other types of food because he was extremely picky. He never enjoyed eating at all. Recently, he just started eating raw but I took a slow process of a month and a half. But it was completely worth it. He loves eating now and he has more energy and his teeth are getting whiter. So definitely worth the change!
I guess like any intelligent being, change can be a process but well worth it. Is the dog u speak of in the pic? (great hair) Small dogs usually have terrible and crowded teeth. No doubt a natural diet greatly improves dental health too.
I am trying to move to raw and struggling to find food they want to eat. My dog will only eat raw tripe so far...... am currently at a loss right now and not happy having to bounce from raw to not right now and back again after getting over the fear of feeding raw
Thank you for this interview with Dr Judy! We adopted 2 cavapoo puppies last week. Feeding raw and gently cooked is scary because of not giving them a balanced diet. Understanding what they need and the science behind it very helpful. For instance I didn’t know that dogs need zinc. We have ordered multiple foods from sources on your website. Waiting for shipments. I’m confused about what kind of bones to feed our little dogs so that they won’t break their teeth or choke on them. A video on bones for different size dogs would be helpful. Thankfully we watched the video on spaying and neutering! We didn’t realize how harmful they can be. We have a girl and a boy dog so we have to do something. We are looking into ovary sparing spaying. Thank you again! ! !
appreciate you, and consider it done! Here's a video on raw bone types: th-cam.com/video/pA_xbZskHTg/w-d-xo.html and I already have a video scheduled dedicated to raw bones coming soon!
@@RachelFusaro thank you for such a quick reply. I’ve watched so many of your videos, I think of you as a go to expert friend. Puppies are different. Lol. In the past we adopted older dogs. Training 2 at the same time is a challenge, but not impossible as some experts say. Learning their individual needs is the key. One note on potty training these two. We temporarily fenced in a nice area of our yard off of our front porch as the designated potty area so that frequent day and night time Potty breaks would be easier and they would associate why they were there. It was hit or miss The first few days. Sometimes they would go quickly, sometimes after the third trip in an hour they would go. Sometimes they would pee or poop in the house as soon as we went in. After a few nights They started going to the porch gate every time we set them in the grass and wouldn’t even try to do their business. We were exhausted and frustrated. It dawned on me that the grass was wet at night and early morning because of dew. We have an area with palm trees and sand in our back yard. We started taking them there and we are successful almost every time. They knew what to do but hated the wet grass. They love to play and run in our yard when it’s not wet. I thought this may help other exhausted parents. You may have a video about this that I haven’t seen.
I had been thinking about feeding raw for awhile. Now I'm convinced. We love our dogs and want to make sure that live long happy lives!!!! Thanks Rachel and Dr. Morgan for taking the time to perfect the diet our dogs can be healthy! 😘😘
I LOVE BOTH OF YOU FOR THIS!! THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE BEST FOR ME TO DO FOR MY BABIES. MY ❤IS FOREEEVVER GRATEFUL! It has taken me many yrs. to learn UNFORTUNATELY THE HARD WAY after losing one of my sweetest babies to colon cxr. I wasn't even able to give him a sending off meal of a fat juicy steak that he loved so much because he couldn't defecate. This broke my heart and I never want to put my dog through this ever again.❤
Damn guilt messes with us always. Be kind to yourself. We didn't know. We were told so many falsehoods... and so much has been hidden from pet owners... All we can do now is to study and learn and hope we are getting accurate info.
@@annadonahue4119thank you for your kind words! Yes, we dont know what we dont know! In this age of info.theres no reason not to be wise and do our research and trust our own intuition. All we can do is do our best ❤❤❤
Can I just say I am deeply impressed that you take your dogs health and happiness as serious as your own and that even though you choose not to eat meat, you will still source that meat for your dogs needs. I know it has to be a struggle to handle that sort of thing for you but putting your dogs needs first is so good to hear
I am in the same boat. I have been a vegan for seven years, just got a puppy, and I am looking into local meat co-ops. It is definitely "scary" as I have not even looked at a meat counter at the grocery store in years
I changed my two labs to raw ground chicken and turkey with veggies and ground turkey with veggies. They are over the moon at their meals. They were previously on 4Health kibble and did ok, but now they love mealtime! And they get a lot of variety.
I offered the pup lamb heart today. She wouldn’t even give it try. Even when I tried to hide it in ground she turned up her cute little nose. It was organic and fresh. I had to eat it myself. Tastes like lamb, a little chewy. Channeled my inner Aztec/ Viking.
Takes awhile for them to get used to the smell and the taste. Patience and persistence is required. It's worth it. There is every chance you pup will live longer on a raw meat diet. Same for cats. Not a vet - a pet mum who's cat lived to 18+ on a raw meat diet.
As a kid, my parents and siblings still at home always had lots of organ meat and odd cuts of meat, as my older sister was married to a farmer who butchered his own critters, but wouldn't eat the "odd" pieces. Those odd pieces tasted good and I'm sure we got lots of good nutrition from eating them. Sis was generous and Mom was a good cooker! Stuffed heart ❤ Tongue sandwiches 😋
@Whistlewalk do you have any recipes for cats that you can share please. We have our cat on prescription food because of past history of strubite crystals. We are look for other kinds of food but my husband is a little nerves. Don't want another episode of this, plus surgery. Thanks
Feeding raw is transformative for animal health! I follow the prey model raw with added omegas and it is so worth it! If you aren’t comfortable giving a balanced meal, start with premade raw and balanced meals! Thanks for sharing the convo!
When I was a kid back in the 70s, our dogs ate everything. Table scraps, canned food, an occasional fish, rabbit or squirrel and they were always healthy 🤷♀️ Dogs in general were healthier. Goes to show you all the shit they put in all their shots and food now is making them sick. Just like what they're doing to people.
There was no GMO's back then, and we were all healthier!!! Back then, we could feed cheap dog food, with everything you mentioned above. People need to wake and we need to pull together and demand to be rid of these GMO's in the US.
Hi Rachel, thank you for the great content! I am transitioning my dog to raw, but she prefers her food warm. Dr. Morgan mentioned that you need to feed the food warm, body temperature in fact, but she didn't say what are the different ways you can do that. I know that some of the nutrients in fresh raw food are sensitive to heat. Is it possible to warm up my dog’s raw food mixing it with hot water or bone broth? I think that it will be better than taking her food out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature slowly. I would appreciate your input on this matter.
Kymythy Schultz in her raw feeding nutrition book recommends adding some warm water to the raw food to bring up the temp. She says do not microwave. I sometimes put mine into a warm water bath while it’s still in its container to bring the temp up.
I feed my dog ready made raw from a dog food tripe factory various types of animals available but i add diced carrot and broccoli also egg (raw or boiled) and grind the shell and add also. She loves it.
For zinc, how much chopped/ground raw pumpkin seed, beyond the recommended ¼t/10 pound of bodyweight as an antiparasitic, would one need to include daily? In intervals? Does just red meat have zinc? Just learning. Thank you for the pancreatic cooked fat note.
21:00 talking about allergies- when my dog was a puppy, he was super waxy and I had to bathe him regularly The lady at the pet store suggested he might be chicken intolerant. So I switched him to either beef or lamb and the last 5 years he’s been good and not waxy My question is, if I switch him to a home made meal plan, should I still avoid chicken? I’ll give him pieces of my dinner, but not as much as he gets on steak nights for example I don’t know if it’s the chicken processing or the chicken itself he’s intolerant to
51:00 question answered! Thank you! My dog came from a farm and had giardia when he came home with me. It took a couple months to finally get rid of it. That, along with the processing of bagged food made of chicken probably attributed to his waxy coat I’ll start giving him more of my chicken more often and see how he does. Thanks ladies!
I'm glad to have come across your channel! I was looking up eco safe detergent lol! I'm sharing this. I cannot convince my friends to stop using cheap industrial off-the-shelf brands w corn syrup, grains, fillers, high heat, highly processed pet food. Dead food means disease and early deceased pets, but they criticize me for feeding my dogs once a day, home made meals.
This is so helpful! Thank you! Our Bronson is an American Bulldog who is 13 yrs and has been on prescriprion of allopurinol for the last 6 yrs as well as prescrption u/d food. I will stop prescrption food and would like to stop his allopurinol but not recommended by his vet. It is hard when vets buy into big pharma mentality. 😟
Hi, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Our online, loved vet, mentioned its best not to leave food in the original bag because the liner can leak toxins.
TY TY TY, this is the video I wanted to see. I'm going to switch my 2 GSD's over to a raw diet they are 2 years old, and I am hoping to get more than 13 years with them. It is really hard to lose a pet that is a part of your family that you really love. Dogs used to live up to 30 years old, and 20 years was the norm until dog food companies started making dog food. I want to go back to the old ways, where farmers used to feed their dogs raw meat and organs plus table scraps. I just didn't know what exactly to feed them. Raw dog food you order is soooo expensive it is ridicules, screw them I want to raise my own organics like goat’s sheep, or rabbits. I raise my own organic vegetables and fruits now, and I am getting into raising my own grass fed organic meats like beef, chicken, and pork, but my dog is allergic to beef chicken and turkey unbelievable right but still I'm not going to pay the rape prices food companies charge now. So, can I substitute lamb or goat for chicken? I am assuming that I can? I am not poor, I can live in this country just fine, but I am just not going to pay those prices. Furthermore, I have over 100 acres where I can raise my own livestock and fruits and vegetables, and grains, which I am going to do for me and my family. You can't trust the meat and vegetables that are in the grocery stores now any ways because they have the mRNA shots and are GMO.
Hi Rachel, I’ve got a 6 month old golden. He eats about half raw and half grain free kibble for puppies. Is there any reason he can’t start eating just raw food exclusively? (And a bit of gently cooked food and produce?)
I appreciate this content so much as I attempt to navigate raw feeding for my two small dogs; one 16 week old puppy and one 10 year old. I would love to know how you feel about Primal Nuggets and if that is a good choice of store-bought raw food? Is it balanced enough to not to add other vitamins or supplements? I would like to get started following Dr. Morgan's homemade raw diet soon but need to source all the proper ingredients before I can get started. Thanks so much for all this good information in the meantime!! 😄
Thank you for all of your information and guidance! I have a question about nutritional imbalances. If my dog is eating meals that are complete and balanced, but they are having sweet potato each day as a treat, is that going to cause a vitamin a imbalance? Or does this only apply if you are DIYing and leaving things out?
Turmeric is high in oxylates! If the turmeric was removed with curcumin remaining that would be fine. Sally K Norton Cornell educated nutritionist book Toxic Superfoods is highly informative.
Yes, that is my question, as well. Thank you for asking, also. It is so hard with a precious dog with diabetes. There has to be a way to get them healthier and extend lifetime. ❤.
Thank you for the interview with Dr. Judy! Can I ask a question about homemade food? For some reason, I‘m unable to feed 100% raw food, maybe 20% specific types of meat. As an alternative, I use Sous-Vide and try to make a mild-cooked food. I mix meats together and vacuum the bag and cook it every day. What is the perfect temperature for it? (I set 60c now) is it okay for the muscle and liver/other organs mix?
Human children eat cooked canned sardine bones without a problem so I don't think they would be a problem for your dog. They are much much softer than chicken bones.
Hello, if I may ask a question, my dog is was on a canned prescription diet for about 4 years, after we had her eating Kangaroo wet canned food for about 5 years before that( one day she just wouldn't eat it anymore) Prior to the prescription ZD diet Meadow had years of itching and scratching and red inflamed skin, lick granulomas- you name it. She was allergic to every protein we had her on. The kangaroo did well until it didnt, she just stopped eating it. The prescription canned dog food hit the same wall about a year ago. It has a gross texture like Flan, and gel- like so I added fresh soft cooked vegggies, that a slightly better. Than that slowed down, so I had to add little bits of chicken (cooked) or beef but she is starting to itch again. I started Halo canned Vegan food. That texture is slightly better and if I add my own cooked veggies she will was eating it. Now we are at square one again. She does not like her food. She has allergies and needs noval protein, but I have no idea where to start. She has had Beef, venison, bison, duck, rabbit, turkey chicken, fish(hated) and I need help!!! Please help me or lead me to something I can feed this poor dog, She is 14 years old, has a high blood pressure but on meds. Ohterwise she is healthy
Hi Rachel, I recently adopted a petite goldendoodle from a reputable breeder in NC. The breeder requested we remain with the feeding plan ( food) until they turn 1 year ( PawTree). My sweet pup ( Phoenix) just turned 5 months old and is 11lbs . She is not a fan of Pawtree, so per the breeders suggestions, I’ve tried adding toppers, etc. She’s still not having it! So, I recently tried adding a READY MIX bran I bought from Petsmart (chicken Recipe) and she loves it!! Could you tell me your thoughts on Fresh Pet VITAL Grain Free ( Small Breed) food? I’m trying to find a healthy raw or wet food for her. Thank you!
L♥️VE both of you! For DIY Raw is Room Temperature best, or slightly warmed and how would I warm it up? In oven at what temp for how long? Is yogurt in DIY Raw ok to slightly warm up when it’s in the DIY Raw mixture?
I’ve called all around in a city 110 miles from me. No one I talked with is practicing integrative much less holistic veterinarian medicine. I had one vet office tell me if I were feeding a “raw” diet they would not see my dog!! Beyond my understanding! It’s just not rocket science but also “my” preference and choice. The vet we see is young and new practicing on her families ranch. She claims kibble is perfect because she toured the factories during vet school and was sooo impressed by their research and produce!! Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you so much for this information.. I'm so grateful to have found you ladies!! What good probiotic can you recommend? I have large dogs (2 rescues) and an elderly shitzhu? Ive been feeding them all a mix of kibble mixed w cooked meat.. i haven't really given much veggies.. they do eat them raw (not alot) but i was always trained never raw and raw bones a no no because of choking..i ordered your book and will look up for some holistic vets here in NJ.. ❤
Does this include feeding dogs meats from grocery stores or does it need to be from a specialized store or a butcher? Thank you for all the fantastic information!
We are due to bring our whippet pup Skipper home on 13th May. He's still only on mum's milk at the moment. Do you think we could ask the breeder to start with raw feeding when he is weaning? Maybe if we offer to pay to provide it if they weren't planning to do that? We'd like to start him on raw and keep him on it :)
For anyone looking for raw meaty bones for puppies: I recommend chicken heads. My Italian greyhound puppy likes to gulp. At first, I was holding onto chicken wings as he chewed, but I had to hold them so tightly I thought I was going to get carpal tunnel 😮💨 Solution: Chicken heads. After defrosting, I remove the beak and chop the head in half. Heads are great for DIY raw diets because they also contain 2 secreting organs: brain (contains Omega-3s) and eyeballs (contains iron). If you can get ones with a few feathers attached, I guess that's really good for them too. My puppy loves it. First, he licks out the brain 🥴 Then he takes about 10 minutes to chew it up and eat it. For some reason, he always leaves behind the little bone behind the eye.
I checked a few grocery stores and no one has cheap scraps/ organ meats. Only chicken... livers or gizzard with hearts. And it's commercial grade which haunts me...
38:19 I’m confused at the statement that we have to cook our human grade foods to such high temperatures because they’ve been contaminated, and yet this is the meat I’d be feeding raw to my dog? I understand salmonella is not as much of a concern but what about the other contaminates? Can someone explain?
Thank you for this video. I had one question you feed raw chicken, Just wondering about what we used to hear don’t feed chicken because the bone splinter.
@@les3259 thank you for your reply. I am a little confused. Are you saying that if the bones have not been cooked they’re OK to feed because they’re not as likely cause problems in the digestive track?
@@carolkinat3081 Yes bones that are not cooked are safe to feed. Cooked bones can cause splinter into shards that can cause choking and serious damage to the dog's mouth, throat, or intestines. Also when you cook the bones all the nutrients are destroyed so their not really good for anything. And yes dogs can digest raw dog bones! Raw bones are soft even fish bones are extremely soft in their raw state. My dogs have been eating DIY raw for 3 years now and are completely healthy.
My dogs are eating AllProvide. What can I feed them when we go on vacation or even long day trips twice a week and I can't bring frozen dog food? I see some freeze-dried, dehydrated & baked foods on your list. Will changing their food even for a day hurt their digestive tracks. One has liver disease and the other one has kidney.
I have a Yorkie-poo . She is 3lbs 9ounces.I want to start a raw diet for her. How much of the recipe should I feed her. Can you give me some recipes also.
Hi Ladies I use Sojos veggie and add the protein Meat plus 1/2 cup of their dry into bowl. My girls are Both service for my multiple disabilities my 3yr old won't eat squash or kale without at least steamed.
How about raw vs gently cooked ? What are the differences pros and cons of each ? Honestly with the overflow of information I’m mostly just comfortable feeding gently cooked food to be safe
We just took in a stray puppy, that my daughter found while hiking. The vet said he is probably 8 weeks old and a collie and retriever mix. We bought him a bag of Blue Buffalo puppy dry food. After watching this video, we want to move to a raw food diet. My question is, can we start by adding raw ground beef to him with his dry food? And if so, how much of each do you recommend? thanks.
You should defrost in fridge. If needed sooner, defrost in cold water but continue to check temp until the meat can be cut with a knife. It doesn’t have to be completely defrosted.
I recently started feeding my puppy Oma’s Pride raw dog food. They are located in Avon CT and ship it frozen to your home. I am very satisfied with the price and quality.
Love your content! I have wondered something for a long time. Why are so many carnivore's thriving and reversing their chronic illnesses on a very limited diet of only animal foods? Kelly Hogan eats almost nothing but ruminant meats/animal foods and her labs say she is very healthy. Why can't dogs and cats be healthy on a diet of mostly meat as they would have in the wild? Mary Ruddick a premier nutritionist who studies indigenous cultures around the world says we need very little diversity in our diet to be healthy. I'm so curious about this and would love to see it addressed by the amazing vets and other practitioners you feature on your channel. Thanks Rachel!
Humans and dogs were scavengers so can be fine on just meat. Cats were fresh kill hunters only not scavengers and so need variety to mimic that hunting.
This is the 3rd time watching this video. There is so much info I feel lk I take a little in each time. I'm still overwhelmed and having a hard time. Seems so much harder than it should be, but I'd really like to figure it out! I'm trying
My dog just diagnosed with diabetes. I am disabled, she us ❤ ❤❤😢. Any diet outside of thecanned stuff from liver of pork and corn? Anything i can do to get her back to health. Kidney prescription dogfood caused the pancreatitis that eventually led to diabetes......
You two have been WONDERFUL 🔥I saw different video,and followed same instructions from them, Use very good blender with raw Meat whether beef chicken lamb or fish,Add good portion of broccoli head,carrots,Left out pumpkin,But I will do yogurt,Chopped up all pretty fine,Mixed in large bowl and used small scoop portions,Placed in zip lock bags,Freezed, I know plastic is not good,He used several other ingredients,etc.for more vitamins and minerals, I had enough left to try on my Datsun,Pan fried in small amount of coconut oil, Let it cool ,Fed it to her ,By hand ,She would have probably choked in down,Small Portions by hand, I’ve never seen a happy or more comforted pet in my life ,It’s trouble,Have to wash everything very carefully afterwards,But for that response,I’ll do it again,Expensive Dry Food almost had us at the Vet✅I pray this works🥹 THANK YOU SO MUCH 🌹
New subscriber! 👋 I tried with our 3 month rottie a company called We Feed Raw, after transitioning, he vomited the food twice now refuses to eat it. They did say it's ok to be partially frozen which I didn't like but either way he won't eat it, and it was lamb. Should I try again with a different meat? Or a different company? I hate feeding him BB kibble and cans 😣 Thank you so much for these videos!
Did you transition him slowly? If he was eating kibble before it can be a shock to his system to suddenly have to process raw meat and vegetables. A good segue would be to try giving him a little bit of the raw food with his kibble, slowly working him up to eating just the raw. You can even lightly boil the food and serve it warm (not hot) to help with digestion and to help his body get used to whole foods. You'd then transition him from boiled to raw. As far as the company, check online for reviews. If you see other pet parents complaining of quality issues and their animals having trouble with it, change brands or just buy the ingredients and make it yourself. But either way, the ticket is to transition SLOWLY. That would be like giving someone who has only ever eaten cereal a big fat juicy steak. Body goes "OVERLOAD!" and gets rid of it.
Lamb is a "hot" protein with many dogs not able to tolerate it. The vomiting, refusal to eat would tell me my dog is telling me in their way to communicate I cannot tolerate the meat you provided. For my labaraner I occasionally give her lamb so she can chew on the lamb shank but it's a rare occasion. I quit buying processed raw foods and make my own including a holistic vet supplement, low oxylate veggies, pasture raised eggs free of corn and soy. My dog does well with beef, bison from local ranches in the northwest.

I read Dr Ian Billinghursts Give your dog a bone 25 years ago and have never fed my dog commercial food since. I have argued with my Vet over the decades about kibble and now also about vaccination. Thank you for affirming my choices. PS have raised beautiful healthy large breeds who have enjoyed variety in their diets.
17:40 A better diet definitely affects their behavior. Aren't you cranky when you don't feel good? Or hungry? Dehydrated?
And they can't just say, "Hey Mom. My tummy hurts. I have a headache! I'm hungry...I know that I just ate and pooped, but I am hungry again already!"
Im positive that it'll make a difference! I have bought my last bag of kibble. And my dogs already love Fresh Pet, so I am sure they are going to love an all raw/fresh diet. They are elderly already (almost 13 & almost 16) and they will LOVE it!!!
Thanks for all the information and advice. The interviewer asked great questions, and the Dr answered everything very well. Excellent interview, very informative and helpful!
Very thankful for more and more vets who are well researched and not indoctrinated! Thank you for this! ❤
4:15: And even humans haven't evolved to eat processed food. It's as bad for us as it is for our fur babies.
I agree and look at all the recalls on human foods and drink

I did this for a collie and it extended his life when diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
Next time I would feed more Tripe.
Turkey/chicken bones are softer and a semi thawed turkey neck acts as a natural tooth cleanser.
Good luck to all starting RMB.

Yeah same I’ve been looking at paw of prey channel and it really inspired me to homemake food.
@@les3259 The first youtuber that reignighted the passion to feed raw was @Loulou & Friends. The way she feeds her dachsunds was amazing and full of love and wisdom. I'm proud of us! I LOVE @Paws of Prey too!! I'm sooo grateful to have them to learn from! I love that we can gain more quality time with our fur babies through this journey. That is priceless.
Thank You to you, Rachel and Dr. Judy!!! This video is extremely needed, thanks to your generous sharing, globally!!
Rachel you move a lot does your chair swivel? I get motion sickness watching you. I Love your channel thanks for the information.
Oh do shut up ...what a stupid statement
Actually one time my dog pooped out a bone chard from a duck wing 1.5 inches long. I believe the duck wing was either too dense for her or I fed too much one at once. There is only so much stomach acid available. She has no problem with chicken wings and is not a gulper and has eaten raw for many years. Lesson learned... the stomach acid may not always take care of a bone if too much bone is fed or it is too dense for the dog.
There’s a family slaughter house few miles from my place, I go there early morning, owner just tell me grab what you want in the trash. Doesn’t look like much to human, but for my dog, it’s like heaven. Lamb, cow, and chicken organs and unwanted parts. My Belgian malinois is 12 now, and she still roll like she is 5 years old. You want to take it further with longevity, fast your baby twice a week. Let her organ rest and reset, you’ll have a happy long life puppy as a companion.
How long would you let your dogs fast for?
Your dog is lucky to have you as an owner.
@@JL-wm6jb 24 hours, Monday and Friday. That’s when I fast too. Water only. Rest of the days, it’s all organs , eggs, bone, fish, beef, chicken and lamb. Absolutely no pork.
@@theseekerndestroyerI’m shocked by how many people advocate pork…thank you for saying this
PLEASE... Don't feed dogs sardines packed in oil! It's highly processed, cheap, high Omega-6, GMO oils, like canola, corn, soy... Go with 💧 water based sardines. They have their own perfect Omega-3 oil, without the added highly inflammatory omega 6 seed/"vegetable" oils. 🙂
Yes, very true I get mine in water with no salt!
Thanks for this info. I thought the oil was good for them!
Yep or dry fish can even rehydrate them in bone broth :)
@@anesidorapandora9646thanks, hadn't thought of that.
Wow! I asked this question on another video.
Can dry carb food make a dog present like AdHd.
You answered in this video..
Thank You!! I will now be educated to go talk to my friend about his doggle. And her DRY kibble. It's getting hot out and she don't touch it till midnight.
He does empty it into a plastic dog food bin without the bag .
My pour dog Miko was diagnosed yesterday with MCT cancer. I started her and her sister on the ketovore diet. I got them a really good healthy kibble. Im giving them beef stew meat, sardines in water, pink salmon cand. Skin and bone are included in the salmon. Beef liver, chicken gizzard and bone broth and a very small slice of bacon.
My dog wouldn't eat half of that. She's new to me. What do you do with picky eaters? She was fed commercial raw food. The sample they gave me stinks. I'm trying to transition her to home-cooked. I don't trust raw if it originates in a slaughter house or commercial facility. I live in the suburbs. No livestock allowed and I couldn't kill them if I had them.
@@oldladyfromnm7590 try boiled chicken with a small amount of rice.
@oldladyfromnm7590 try that for like 3 days, then slowly trade out the rice and chicken with something else. Dogs can get fat of too much rice, but it's good for a few days to help transition to new foods. It's also good when they are sick.
24:00 My dog was one of these dogs that didn’t want to eat raw food. My senior dog loved it but my younger one didn’t. We went through many other types of food because he was extremely picky. He never enjoyed eating at all. Recently, he just started eating raw but I took a slow process of a month and a half. But it was completely worth it. He loves eating now and he has more energy and his teeth are getting whiter. So definitely worth the change!
That's wonderful 👏
I guess like any intelligent being, change can be a process but well worth it. Is the dog u speak of in the pic? (great hair) Small dogs usually have terrible and crowded teeth. No doubt a natural diet greatly improves dental health too.
@@shorelined1 my dog is a medium size dog.
@@shorelined1 laughing at this comment rn no no my pfp is not my dog it’s a meme LALAOAO!
I am trying to move to raw and struggling to find food they want to eat. My dog will only eat raw tripe so far...... am currently at a loss right now and not happy having to bounce from raw to not right now and back again after getting over the fear of feeding raw
Thank you for this interview with Dr Judy! We adopted 2 cavapoo puppies last week. Feeding raw and gently cooked is scary because of not giving them a balanced diet. Understanding what they need and the science behind it very helpful. For instance I didn’t know that dogs need zinc. We have ordered multiple foods from sources on your website. Waiting for shipments. I’m confused about what kind of bones to feed our little dogs so that they won’t break their teeth or choke on them. A video on bones for different size dogs would be helpful. Thankfully we watched the video on spaying and neutering! We didn’t realize how harmful they can be. We have a girl and a boy dog so we have to do something. We are looking into ovary sparing spaying. Thank you again! ! !
appreciate you, and consider it done! Here's a video on raw bone types: th-cam.com/video/pA_xbZskHTg/w-d-xo.html and I already have a video scheduled dedicated to raw bones coming soon!
@@RachelFusaro thank you for such a quick reply. I’ve watched so many of your videos, I think of you as a go to expert friend. Puppies are different. Lol. In the past we adopted older dogs. Training 2 at the same time is a challenge, but not impossible as some experts say. Learning their individual needs is the key. One note on potty training these two. We temporarily fenced in a nice area of our yard off of our front porch as the designated potty area so that frequent day and night time Potty breaks would be easier and they would associate why they were there. It was hit or miss The first few days. Sometimes they would go quickly, sometimes after the third trip in an hour they would go. Sometimes they would pee or poop in the house as soon as we went in. After a few nights They started going to the porch gate every time we set them in the grass and wouldn’t even try to do their business. We were exhausted and frustrated. It dawned on me that the grass was wet at night and early morning because of dew. We have an area with palm trees and sand in our back yard. We started taking them there and we are successful almost every time. They knew what to do but hated the wet grass. They love to play and run in our yard when it’s not wet. I thought this may help other exhausted parents. You may have a video about this that I haven’t seen.
@@RachelFusarowhat about drying egg shells and grinding them down to powder to mix in their food
That's what I do. I use my fresh duck eggs! @@theonewhomjesusloves7360
I had been thinking about feeding raw for awhile. Now I'm convinced. We love our dogs and want to make sure that live long happy lives!!!! Thanks Rachel and Dr. Morgan for taking the time to perfect the diet our dogs can be healthy! 😘😘
I LOVE BOTH OF YOU FOR THIS!! THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE BEST FOR ME TO DO FOR MY BABIES. MY ❤IS FOREEEVVER GRATEFUL! It has taken me many yrs. to learn UNFORTUNATELY THE HARD WAY after losing one of my sweetest babies to colon cxr. I wasn't even able to give him a sending off meal of a fat juicy steak that he loved so much because he couldn't defecate. This broke my heart and I never want to put my dog through this ever again.❤
Damn guilt messes with us always. Be kind to yourself. We didn't know. We were told so many falsehoods... and so much has been hidden from pet owners...
All we can do now is to study and learn and hope we are getting accurate info.
@@annadonahue4119thank you for your kind words! Yes, we dont know what we dont know! In this age of info.theres no reason not to be wise and do our research and trust our own intuition. All we can do is do our best ❤❤❤
It took me a while to try raw…being a non meat eater 😂. But my little dog loves it and raw bones too. She’s very happy and I am too
Can I just say I am deeply impressed that you take your dogs health and happiness as serious as your own and that even though you choose not to eat meat, you will still source that meat for your dogs needs. I know it has to be a struggle to handle that sort of thing for you but putting your dogs needs first is so good to hear
I am in the same boat. I have been a vegan for seven years, just got a puppy, and I am looking into local meat co-ops. It is definitely "scary" as I have not even looked at a meat counter at the grocery store in years
I changed my two labs to raw ground chicken and turkey with veggies and ground turkey with veggies. They are over the moon at their meals. They were previously on 4Health kibble and did ok, but now they love mealtime! And they get a lot of variety.
This was great. Thank you. I've been feeding my cats raw and have been doing research on switching my dog to a raw diet.
I offered the pup lamb heart today. She wouldn’t even give it try. Even when I tried to hide it in ground she turned up her cute little nose. It was organic and fresh. I had to eat it myself. Tastes like lamb, a little chewy. Channeled my inner Aztec/ Viking.
Takes awhile for them to get used to the smell and the taste. Patience and persistence is required. It's worth it. There is every chance you pup will live longer on a raw meat diet. Same for cats. Not a vet - a pet mum who's cat lived to 18+ on a raw meat diet.
😂
As a kid, my parents and siblings still at home always had lots of organ meat and odd cuts of meat, as my older sister was married to a farmer who butchered his own critters, but wouldn't eat the "odd" pieces.
Those odd pieces tasted good and I'm sure we got lots of good nutrition from eating them. Sis was generous and Mom was a good cooker!
Stuffed heart ❤
Tongue sandwiches 😋
@Whistlewalk do you have any recipes for cats that you can share please. We have our cat on prescription food because of past history of strubite crystals. We are look for other kinds of food but my husband is a little nerves. Don't want another episode of this, plus surgery. Thanks
We just made our first batch of homemade dog food and we are so excited to keep going! Our dogs are already doing so much better
Are you willing to share your recipe?
Feeding raw is transformative for animal health! I follow the prey model raw with added omegas and it is so worth it! If you aren’t comfortable giving a balanced meal, start with premade raw and balanced meals! Thanks for sharing the convo!
When I was a kid back in the 70s, our dogs ate everything. Table scraps, canned food, an occasional fish, rabbit or squirrel and they were always healthy 🤷♀️
Dogs in general were healthier. Goes to show you all the shit they put in all their shots and food now is making them sick. Just like what they're doing to people.
Yep
Yep, there is a lot money to be made. We have been grabbed by the doggies.
There was no GMO's back then, and we were all healthier!!! Back then, we could feed cheap dog food, with everything you mentioned above. People need to wake and we need to pull together and demand to be rid of these GMO's in the US.
👍🏻
This site is an answer to prayers. Thank you for doing this!!! 😊❤❤😊
Hi Rachel, thank you for the great content!
I am transitioning my dog to raw, but she prefers her food warm. Dr. Morgan mentioned that you need to feed the food warm, body temperature in fact, but she didn't say what are the different ways you can do that. I know that some of the nutrients in fresh raw food are sensitive to heat. Is it possible to warm up my dog’s raw food mixing it with hot water or bone broth? I think that it will be better than taking her food out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature slowly. I would appreciate your input on this matter.
Try freeze dried raw dog food. All the nutrients and stored/fed at room temp.
Kymythy Schultz in her raw feeding nutrition book recommends adding some warm water to the raw food to bring up the temp. She says do not microwave. I sometimes put mine into a warm water bath while it’s still in its container to bring the temp up.
@@annebaugh2835me too
I add a bit of hot water to warm up my dog and cats food and it just takes the chill off!
Been using micro and will stop. Thank you so much!
I feed my dog ready made raw from a dog food tripe factory various types of animals available but i add diced carrot and broccoli also egg (raw or boiled) and grind the shell and add also. She loves it.
For zinc, how much chopped/ground raw pumpkin seed, beyond the recommended ¼t/10 pound of bodyweight as an antiparasitic, would one need to include daily? In intervals? Does just red meat have zinc? Just learning. Thank you for the pancreatic cooked fat note.
I love all of your videos but a quick question, how do dogs in the wild get Zinc?
Beef has zinc. Probably other red meats as well.
21:00 talking about allergies- when my dog was a puppy, he was super waxy and I had to bathe him regularly
The lady at the pet store suggested he might be chicken intolerant. So I switched him to either beef or lamb and the last 5 years he’s been good and not waxy
My question is, if I switch him to a home made meal plan, should I still avoid chicken? I’ll give him pieces of my dinner, but not as much as he gets on steak nights for example
I don’t know if it’s the chicken processing or the chicken itself he’s intolerant to
51:00 question answered! Thank you!
My dog came from a farm and had giardia when he came home with me. It took a couple months to finally get rid of it. That, along with the processing of bagged food made of chicken probably attributed to his waxy coat
I’ll start giving him more of my chicken more often and see how he does. Thanks ladies!
I'm glad to have come across your channel! I was looking up eco safe detergent lol! I'm sharing this. I cannot convince my friends to stop using cheap industrial off-the-shelf brands w corn syrup, grains, fillers, high heat, highly processed pet food. Dead food means disease and early deceased pets, but they criticize me for feeding my dogs once a day, home made meals.
People will do that when they don't know, don't believe. Unfortunately some folks still have to learn thru their own mistakes. 🤷🏼♀️
This is so helpful! Thank you! Our Bronson is an American Bulldog who is 13 yrs and has been on prescriprion of allopurinol for the last 6 yrs as well as prescrption u/d food. I will stop prescrption food and would like to stop his allopurinol but not recommended by his vet. It is hard when vets buy into big pharma mentality. 😟
What do you feel is the best raw food for a 8 week old puppy. How do you know How much to feed them?
Thank you sooooo much for your videos. You may or not know how much of a difference you are making ❤️❤️❤️
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Our online, loved vet, mentioned its best not to leave food in the original bag because the liner can leak toxins.
During this video I got an ad for hills kibble- the irony is amazing 😂
TY TY TY, this is the video I wanted to see. I'm going to switch my 2 GSD's over to a raw diet they are 2 years old, and I am hoping to get more than 13 years with them. It is really hard to lose a pet that is a part of your family that you really love. Dogs used to live up to 30 years old, and 20 years was the norm until dog food companies started making dog food. I want to go back to the old ways, where farmers used to feed their dogs raw meat and organs plus table scraps. I just didn't know what exactly to feed them. Raw dog food you order is soooo expensive it is ridicules, screw them I want to raise my own organics like goat’s sheep, or rabbits. I raise my own organic vegetables and fruits now, and I am getting into raising my own grass fed organic meats like beef, chicken, and pork, but my dog is allergic to beef chicken and turkey unbelievable right but still I'm not going to pay the rape prices food companies charge now. So, can I substitute lamb or goat for chicken? I am assuming that I can? I am not poor, I can live in this country just fine, but I am just not going to pay those prices. Furthermore, I have over 100 acres where I can raise my own livestock and fruits and vegetables, and grains, which I am going to do for me and my family. You can't trust the meat and vegetables that are in the grocery stores now any ways because they have the mRNA shots and are GMO.
Hi Rachel, I’ve got a 6 month old golden. He eats about half raw and half grain free kibble for puppies. Is there any reason he can’t start eating just raw food exclusively? (And a bit of gently cooked food and produce?)
I have the same question.
I appreciate this content so much as I attempt to navigate raw feeding for my two small dogs; one 16 week old puppy and one 10 year old. I would love to know how you feel about Primal Nuggets and if that is a good choice of store-bought raw food? Is it balanced enough to not to add other vitamins or supplements? I would like to get started following Dr. Morgan's homemade raw diet soon but need to source all the proper ingredients before I can get started. Thanks so much for all this good information in the meantime!! 😄
Thank you for all of your information and guidance! I have a question about nutritional imbalances. If my dog is eating meals that are complete and balanced, but they are having sweet potato each day as a treat, is that going to cause a vitamin a imbalance? Or does this only apply if you are DIYing and leaving things out?
Thank you 🙏 much love and more thanks!
another excellent interview Rachel... thank you soool much. learning so much. xox
You are so welcome!🥹❤️
Turmeric is high in oxylates! If the turmeric was removed with curcumin remaining that would be fine. Sally K Norton Cornell educated nutritionist book Toxic Superfoods is highly informative.
please give us a recipe for a raw diet
Love your videos, so informational. I wish I would of found you sooner. Would a raw diet be better for my diabetic dog?
Yes, that is my question, as well. Thank you for asking, also. It is so hard with a precious dog with diabetes. There has to be a way to get them healthier and extend lifetime. ❤.
The downloadable guide is very well done. Thank you! 🇨🇦
Thank you for the interview with Dr. Judy! Can I ask a question about homemade food? For some reason, I‘m unable to feed 100% raw food, maybe 20% specific types of meat. As an alternative, I use Sous-Vide and try to make a mild-cooked food. I mix meats together and vacuum the bag and cook it every day. What is the perfect temperature for it? (I set 60c now) is it okay for the muscle and liver/other organs mix?
what about puréed raw smelt or sardines added to raw or gently cooked ( always wondered if the bones are ok cooked
Human children eat cooked canned sardine bones without a problem so I don't think they would be a problem for your dog. They are much much softer than chicken bones.
Hello, if I may ask a question, my dog is was on a canned prescription diet for about 4 years, after we had her eating Kangaroo wet canned food for about 5 years before that( one day she just wouldn't eat it anymore) Prior to the prescription ZD diet Meadow had years of itching and scratching and red inflamed skin, lick granulomas- you name it. She was allergic to every protein we had her on. The kangaroo did well until it didnt, she just stopped eating it. The prescription canned dog food hit the same wall about a year ago. It has a gross texture like Flan, and gel- like so I added fresh soft cooked vegggies, that a slightly better. Than that slowed down, so I had to add little bits of chicken (cooked) or beef but she is starting to itch again. I started Halo canned Vegan food. That texture is slightly better and if I add my own cooked veggies she will was eating it. Now we are at square one again. She does not like her food. She has allergies and needs noval protein, but I have no idea where to start. She has had Beef, venison, bison, duck, rabbit, turkey chicken, fish(hated) and I need help!!! Please help me or lead me to something I can feed this poor dog, She is 14 years old, has a high blood pressure but on meds. Ohterwise she is healthy
Hi Rachel, I recently adopted a petite goldendoodle from a reputable breeder in NC. The breeder requested we remain with the feeding plan ( food) until they turn 1 year ( PawTree). My sweet pup ( Phoenix) just turned 5 months old and is 11lbs . She is not a fan of Pawtree, so per the breeders suggestions, I’ve tried adding toppers, etc. She’s still not having it! So, I recently tried adding a READY MIX bran I bought from Petsmart (chicken Recipe) and she loves it!! Could you tell me your thoughts on Fresh Pet VITAL Grain Free ( Small Breed) food? I’m trying to find a healthy raw or wet food for her. Thank you!
What do you think freeze dried food vs raw food diets?
Where do you find fresh turmeric and other vitamin ns
What's the best diet for cats with bad arthritis?
Can you mix home cooked with raw? For example one day home cooked food and the next day raw? Or will that upset the stomach please?
Yes I do it all the time
L♥️VE both of you! For DIY Raw is Room Temperature best, or slightly warmed and how would I warm it up? In oven at what temp for how long? Is yogurt in DIY Raw ok to slightly warm up when it’s in the DIY Raw mixture?
After food's been made,how to know much to feed each feeding? Is there a chart to go by for our dog's size?
What supplements are good to add to my puppy's bowl who is slowly transitioning to raw from kibble?
Yes I wish I had this
I’ve called all around in a city 110 miles from me. No one I talked with is practicing integrative much less holistic veterinarian medicine. I had one vet office tell me if I were feeding a “raw” diet they would not see my dog!! Beyond my understanding! It’s just not rocket science but also “my” preference and choice. The vet we see is young and new practicing on her families ranch. She claims kibble is perfect because she toured the factories during vet school and was sooo impressed by their research and produce!! Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you so much for this information.. I'm so grateful to have found you ladies!! What good probiotic can you recommend? I have large dogs (2 rescues) and an elderly shitzhu? Ive been feeding them all a mix of kibble mixed w cooked meat.. i haven't really given much veggies.. they do eat them raw (not alot) but i was always trained never raw and raw bones a no no because of choking..i ordered your book and will look up for some holistic vets here in NJ.. ❤
How much garlic is ok when making a weekly combined food batch to be divided?
Does this include feeding dogs meats from grocery stores or does it need to be from a specialized store or a butcher? Thank you for all the fantastic information!
We are due to bring our whippet pup Skipper home on 13th May. He's still only on mum's milk at the moment. Do you think we could ask the breeder to start with raw feeding when he is weaning? Maybe if we offer to pay to provide it if they weren't planning to do that? We'd like to start him on raw and keep him on it :)
Very much doubt they could take the time to separate out one pup every feeding.
For anyone looking for raw meaty bones for puppies: I recommend chicken heads.
My Italian greyhound puppy likes to gulp. At first, I was holding onto chicken wings as he chewed, but I had to hold them so tightly I thought I was going to get carpal tunnel 😮💨
Solution: Chicken heads. After defrosting, I remove the beak and chop the head in half. Heads are great for DIY raw diets because they also contain 2 secreting organs: brain (contains Omega-3s) and eyeballs (contains iron). If you can get ones with a few feathers attached, I guess that's really good for them too.
My puppy loves it. First, he licks out the brain 🥴 Then he takes about 10 minutes to chew it up and eat it. For some reason, he always leaves behind the little bone behind the eye.
I checked a few grocery stores and no one has cheap scraps/ organ meats. Only chicken... livers or gizzard with hearts. And it's commercial grade which haunts me...
I’m wondering if your dog is large or small. A mini-doxi is much different from a German shepherd
OMG 😳! I hope you're not allowed to have a gun 😂! Just kidding, that's pretty savage though
I thought chicken bones break easily, which is a big choking hazard
38:19 I’m confused at the statement that we have to cook our human grade foods to such high temperatures because they’ve been contaminated, and yet this is the meat I’d be feeding raw to my dog? I understand salmonella is not as much of a concern but what about the other contaminates? Can someone explain?
I appreciate the recipe and it is a free download, I have one dog out of three allergic to chicken, is there an alternative recipe?
Thank you for this video.
I had one question you feed raw chicken, Just wondering about what we used
to hear don’t feed
chicken because the bone splinter.
Bone only dose that when it’s cooked. Raw bones are much softer.
@@les3259 thank you for your reply. I am a little confused. Are you saying that if the bones have not been cooked they’re OK to feed because they’re not as likely cause problems in the digestive track?
@@carolkinat3081 Yes bones that are not cooked are safe to feed. Cooked bones can cause splinter into shards that can cause choking and serious damage to the dog's mouth, throat, or intestines. Also when you cook the bones all the nutrients are destroyed so their not really good for anything. And yes dogs can digest raw dog bones! Raw bones are soft even fish bones are extremely soft in their raw state. My dogs have been eating DIY raw for 3 years now and are completely healthy.
I tend to avoid chicken for my crew due to all the hormones in them but if one can get clean chicken that'd be fine.
My dogs are eating AllProvide. What can I feed them when we go on vacation or even long day trips twice a week and I can't bring frozen dog food? I see some freeze-dried, dehydrated & baked foods on your list. Will changing their food even for a day hurt their digestive tracks. One has liver disease and the other one has kidney.
How do you and Dr. Morgan feel about Catherine Heigl's dogfood, Badlands Ranch Superfood Complete?

How about raw vs gently cooked ? What are the differences pros and cons of each ? Honestly with the overflow of information I’m mostly just comfortable feeding gently cooked food to be safe
Which is nutritionally balance for puppies 4 month and up
We just took in a stray puppy, that my daughter found while hiking. The vet said he is probably 8 weeks old and a collie and retriever mix. We bought him a bag of Blue Buffalo puppy dry food. After watching this video, we want to move to a raw food diet. My question is, can we start by adding raw ground beef to him with his dry food? And if so, how much of each do you recommend? thanks.
The CDC also made ridiculous claims regarding covid!
I WOULD like to read studies about pet foods. Where can we find these studies?
How long can you leave raw food out to warm up without bacteria growing ?
You should defrost in fridge. If needed sooner, defrost in cold water but continue to check temp until the meat can be cut with a knife. It doesn’t have to be completely defrosted.
What is a good supplement to add to my dog food?
Dr. Mercola glandulars. Holistic Bin canine super greens, sunflower oil. Canned sardines and oysters in water.
Dr. Peter Dobias Green Min. I do not eat seed oils and I don't give toxic seed oils to my BFF.
I recently started feeding my puppy Oma’s Pride raw dog food. They are located in Avon CT and ship it frozen to your home. I am very satisfied with the price and quality.
Love your content! I have wondered something for a long time. Why are so many carnivore's thriving and reversing their chronic illnesses on a very limited diet of only animal foods? Kelly Hogan eats almost nothing but ruminant meats/animal foods and her labs say she is very healthy. Why can't dogs and cats be healthy on a diet of mostly meat as they would have in the wild? Mary Ruddick a premier nutritionist who studies indigenous cultures around the world says we need very little diversity in our diet to be healthy. I'm so curious about this and would love to see it addressed by the amazing vets and other practitioners you feature on your channel. Thanks Rachel!
Humans and dogs were scavengers so can be fine on just meat. Cats were fresh kill hunters only not scavengers and so need variety to mimic that hunting.
This is the 3rd time watching this video. There is so much info I feel lk I take a little in each time. I'm still overwhelmed and having a hard time. Seems so much harder than it should be, but I'd really like to figure it out! I'm trying
How to balance kibble with raw?
How do we combine the ingredients in the provided recipe? Great video i learned a lot. Thank you
I really close to my dog. I was raw when one was crazy lol for feeding raw. She can tell me when I myself may be eating 🍽️ bad food ✨❤️✨.
Look at how fast we have tried too change our own eating habits? Thanks 🎉✨❤️✨.
When you use the phrase gently cook what does that mean exactly how long are you cooking the items for
This has been wonderful to learn from. My pack says Thank You 😊
So feeding the camp sardines that have added salt is OK. I still have yet to find a can of sardines that do not have salt added to them..
i'm confused about the cooked fats bit - if you cook some beef or pork does the fat need to be cut off if its still fresh?
This was great and so helpful! Thank you!
Is ground pork is good for 8 trs old mini pincher? Everyday
My dog just diagnosed with diabetes. I am disabled, she us ❤ ❤❤😢. Any diet outside of thecanned stuff from liver of pork and corn? Anything i can do to get her back to health. Kidney prescription dogfood caused the pancreatitis that eventually led to diabetes......
I wish I had an hour to listen to these videos!
You two have been WONDERFUL 🔥I saw different video,and followed same instructions from them, Use very good blender with raw Meat whether beef chicken lamb or fish,Add good portion of broccoli head,carrots,Left out pumpkin,But I will do yogurt,Chopped up all pretty fine,Mixed in large bowl and used small scoop portions,Placed in zip lock bags,Freezed, I know plastic is not good,He used several other ingredients,etc.for more vitamins and minerals, I had enough left to try on my Datsun,Pan fried in small amount of coconut oil, Let it cool ,Fed it to her ,By hand ,She would have probably choked in down,Small Portions by hand, I’ve never seen a happy or more comforted pet in my life ,It’s trouble,Have to wash everything very carefully afterwards,But for that response,I’ll do it again,Expensive Dry Food almost had us at the Vet✅I pray this works🥹
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🌹
My number one rule of thumb of life is: if any of the 3 letter agencies say not to do something, I do the exact opposite. Works like a charm. 🙏

I tried with our 3 month rottie a company called We Feed Raw, after transitioning, he vomited the food twice now refuses to eat it. They did say it's ok to be partially frozen which I didn't like but either way he won't eat it, and it was lamb. Should I try again with a different meat? Or a different company? I hate feeding him BB kibble and cans 😣
Thank you so much for these videos!
Did you transition him slowly? If he was eating kibble before it can be a shock to his system to suddenly have to process raw meat and vegetables. A good segue would be to try giving him a little bit of the raw food with his kibble, slowly working him up to eating just the raw. You can even lightly boil the food and serve it warm (not hot) to help with digestion and to help his body get used to whole foods. You'd then transition him from boiled to raw.
As far as the company, check online for reviews. If you see other pet parents complaining of quality issues and their animals having trouble with it, change brands or just buy the ingredients and make it yourself. But either way, the ticket is to transition SLOWLY. That would be like giving someone who has only ever eaten cereal a big fat juicy steak. Body goes "OVERLOAD!" and gets rid of it.
We feed raw is a good company!
Lamb is a "hot" protein with many dogs not able to tolerate it. The vomiting, refusal to eat would tell me my dog is telling me in their way to communicate I cannot tolerate the meat you provided. For my labaraner I occasionally give her lamb so she can chew on the lamb shank but it's a rare occasion.
I quit buying processed raw foods and make my own including a holistic vet supplement, low oxylate veggies, pasture raised eggs free of corn and soy. My dog does well with beef, bison from local ranches in the northwest.
You're right about lamb being a hot protein. When I eat lamb in the winter I feel like the temperature has risen 10 degrees!
