Lmao I really laughed out loud that website saying it's just a fad! Even you forgot about the longest living dog Bluey who was fed raw, you can still look at stray or wild dogs. They will scavenge but if they can, they will hunt small prey and eat.
I wonder about this, was he food always balanced?
People tend to forget animal's weren't "meant" to rely on human's for food. And kibbles are actually a pretty new thing in reality.. Dog's are SUPPOSED to eat meats. Human's decided it's easier if we can scoop them a bowl of dry vitamin cereal once a day instead...
it's admirable that you figured out 4 species, i'm muddling may way thru just 2. and my brain feels like mush!
A great video, as always. I love these kind of videos that explain things so well. I love to show them to my family and friends that have questions about raw diets because you can explain it way better than me.
I'm so glad they're helpful! 😊
LOL for the "feeding raw will make your pet more aggressive" part. I have heard so many people asking me about that when they knew my two cats were fed raw. They even asked if my kitties would bite my ankles when they are hungry😂😂 while the truth is my cats have the sweetest personalities. Not only they never bite us, they would even stop eating when their teeth accidentally touched our fingers when we feed them treats. I really hope more ppl would come across this video and know raw feeding better. We wanted to train our kitties to serve as therapy cats for other ppl in need but most of the institutes have rules saying they don't recruit cats who are on raw diets to be on their program, which is very sad...
Yeah people are so ignorant actually cats and dogs who eat dog food are the ones who are aggressive it makes them aggressive big time.
I know I should research this before putting it out there. But… I’ve heard that you have to be careful about the bacteria in their mouths if you’re raw feeding. I don’t know if that’s true, but maybe that’s why they don’t accept raw fed pets. Do you think that’s possible? Or is that a myth?
@@CathyR-dj6tw no dogs have a enzyme in their saliva that kills salmonella
@@CathyR-dj6tw Feel free to check out Primal Pack's videos. There is one video particularly targeting the myth you talked about and she also listed research papers as well as biological facts to prove why this is wrong.
@@xiaoqi7485 Thank you! I’ll check it out right now. I love having definitive answers to questions like this, but everyone just throws information around willy-nilly. It’s exhausting trying to keep up on the research.
This is very informative and logical.
My friend cooks chicken breast for their dog
Such a lucky dog.
I said "animals in the wild don't cook their own food, they catch animals and eat them raw" .
Thank you so much for posting this video! I especially have to agree with vets arguing that raw diets can’t be balanced or is hard to balance. When my vet found out that I fed Spot raw, he didn’t think I was responsible enough to balance but when I told him everything I did to balance it, he was impressed!
Would u considered open the "super thanks" option for your video please? I just want to chip in little something to show my appreciate of behind the scene hard works you put in, like editing, filming and hours of reading up actual scientific papers for research
As somebody with a dog who used to resource guard his food, I can safely say that he did *NOT* start acting out again once we started feeding him raw food. He allows me and our other dogs to be nearby while he eats. It just takes trust, the food you give will not change how much your dog trusts you around their food.
Wonderful video! The past few months I’ve really become obsessed with raw feeding and resources like your videos haha, I watch them all day! But I have a bit of a problem. I’m trying to find a best food possible for my dog but unfortunately raw isn’t really possible for me due to the fact that I have OCD, especially surrounding contamination and raw meat. I then look for fresh cooked brands of food but they always have legumes and peas and I’m worried about DCM. Then of course there is wet food, but again it always has legumes and the idea of fresh food sounds so much better. I’d love to do a home made cooked diet but have no idea on how to start looking for balancing! I know your a raw feeding channel, but any videos relating to cooked home made would be super helpful! That or a list of links! Thank you 😊
Have you looked into freeze dried or frozen raw? Many brand use HPP on their food which destroys most bacteria humans are worried about when handling raw. It also destroys a lot of the good bacteria, but it's still a great choice if you're weary of making homemade raw
@@PawsofPrey I have actually! Freeze dried is super expensive and frozen raw is always grinds, if my dog was on raw I’d need the RMB to help her awful teeth. I don’t know, I looked into it but I’m really struggling 😕 Can I also confirm that it’s safe to re freeze frozen meat? One other reason about raw is my mother isn’t convinced you can refreeze it after prep.
Do u eat meat yourself? most people eat meat and before you cook the meat you are handling raw meat so it's the same thing... Really not that Serious just wash your hands
Almost every time I post some of my dog's meals on FB, someone starts talking about how can I feed something like THAT to a small dog? It's disgusting and I'm trying to hurt him. They might even add that only big dogs can eat bones :D But when asked what's the difference between big and small dogs, they just keep quiet. I have a papillon cross who is about 3,5 to 4 kg and he has been raw fed for some time now. He can deal with turkey necks, duck and rabbit heads, whole quails etc. I don't know what makes people think that small dogs are not really dogs and need a special approach and it's not exclusive to raw feeding. I get called abuser for almost everything - muzzle, crate, raw feeding, training, doing sports etc.
And another huge lie is that chicken bones (even raw) are dangerous.
oh you do? I´m surprised, the public here in CZ seems actually pretty pro-raw (except for the vets of course...). But yeah its everywhere and for everything these days - I get labelled as an animal abuser for buying a purebred cavalier (even though she is from a good breeder who health tests her dogs...) People seriously should chill out a bit.
@@rawexplorer8373 it's mostly in international groups. But even in the czech ones some people are anti-raw. Sometimes it's just one or two, others it's almost half of the comments. And if it's posted in a group focused on small breeds, it can be really bad sometimes. People still don't take small dogs as dogs. But it's always hilarious when they claim they feed their babies so much better - cooked diets (even bones), PURINA, RC etc. 😂 As for being called an abuser - I once got called that for posting a picture from a train where he was obviously wearing a muzzle. After I explained the rules we have on a public transport and some places (even providing pictures), I was told I was lying because she had a friend that was born here and wasn't aware of such rules 🤷♀️
@@rawexplorer8373 yeah, I don't understand why so many people in CR hate purebred dogs and their breeders so much.
I do give my dogs Raw. But sometimes I give them medium-rare. They as well get some kind of raw meaty bone too. Like turkey neck duck neck chicken feet Buffalo neck bones or beef neck bones. And I always leave out kibble. I do my best to give my fur babies the best nutrition possible
I don’t think many people wanna feed raw just because its a trend..like..it’s so much work to feed raw and sometimes more expensive and the whole process just more work than feeding kibbles haha. People who opt to feed raw must really wanna learn and do better for their dogs 😄
Here’s how I look at it, given that there are some amazing premade raw options.
You can either feed your dog kibble and save a bit of money up front, have a much less healthy dog who will have a shorter lifespan, massive giant stinky kibble poops, and other potential issues, and end up spending that saved money down the line on expensive vet work, OR
You can feed a premade raw option that cost a bit more up front, but will make your pet healthier, live longer, have way more manageable and less smelly poops, and likely avoid the expensive surgeries and treatments that putting your dog on kibble will inevitably cause down the line.
It’s a small time and monetary investment that you’ll more than recoup as your dog ages. If your dog has a surgery that costs thousands, even just one, that’s probably the difference between raw and kibble for its entire lifespan.
The same way doctors want to Medicate you because they’re paid by pharmaceutical companies to do so, Vets want your dog on kibble because the manufacturers pay them bonuses AND it also contributes to you having to visit them more. Vets learn virtually nothing about pet nutrition in school and they’re not going to overstep the companies putting money directly in their pocket.
I have a doubt. I have a multi vitamin mix of dehydrated vegetables, fruit and chicken liver available. To make it easier can I just give my dog some meat mince and add the dehydrated multi vitamin which is a blend of vegetables, fruit and chicken liver. I can't now feed a premade raw because when I interviewed them they said that raw food should be stored at -18 degrees Fahrenheit and my freezer does not go below -1degrees celcius
Awesome. Great video! Thanks a lot
Feeding dogs is my passion,I search and search and then keep searching.
can't believe you didn't touch on THIS ONE RAW FEEDING FACT THAT AKC BREEDERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW which is that it makes your dog grow his balls back if he's on a limited registration and also defeats that limited registration like phoenix wright in a court of law and makes him both breeding-worthy and the most cool ass dog on the block.
that's where the saying comes from: want to backyard breed? get them on some raw feed!
(I chuckled throughout the video, good work)
Hahaha AKC had some funny articles 😬
@@PawsofPrey speaking as an akc breeder, akc is a horrorscape
I recently started my fur baby on raw because she has pemphigus and has been on steroids for months. Now she's more energetic and talkative (husky) where she never was in the year I've had her. I didn't even think she could bark until the last week. She is less thirsty and her aggressiveness with our cat has declined a lot (steroid side effect).
I started out with "We Feed Raw" while educating myself on her dietary needs (bachelors in nutrition).
I have been thinking about switching my dog to raw foods. right now he has alot of allergies
Please make one for cats 😻
Helping the algorithm!!! Dont mind me
You're so kind 🥺
I have a question, is it good to feed bone to dogs? I asked my vet and they said that it is dangerous bc bone can perforate the stomach and intestine
Cooked bones can indeed do what your vet told you, but raw meaty bones don’t break apart the same way when your dog eats them.
Cooked bones are super brittle and break into tiny shards when the dog chews them, that’s why they can hurt your dog.
@@SpiralstaticXX oh ok thank you!
in a dog that was fed kibble their whole life or if its a cooked bone then yes there is a risk. You see dogs as evolutionary carnivores naturally have a so called "needle reflex" in their gut which means that if a sharp bone fragment pricks on their intestinal wall, the gut turns it around to prevent harm. Of course kibble fed dogs lose that reflex so if you transition to raw you need begin with small blunt raw meaty bones like chicken necks or turkey necks. The danger of cooked bones has already been explained by Auxiliary Band. Also giving the bones covered in flesh and tendon covers the sharp edges and protects the GI tract - which is a way how predators naturally ingest bone.
@@rawexplorer8373 thx!
Commercial food is not even close to being balanced, because synthetic vitamins can’t be correctly digested and neither can minerals sourced from rocks 😮
Dear Alpha Dog of The Primal Pack,
I have been following you for a while now, and I’ve seen you grow to become a leader in the charge for raw food.
You’ve been pulling punches with the the establishment, and it’s nice to see you finally take ‘em on AND call them for what the are- L- - - S!
If you are interested in learning more about the commercial per food industry and their powerful lobby and influence in the veterinary community:

Lol my Alya is an agressive cuddler😂 and yeah I get that a Lot - people saying that cavaliers are too inbred to be able to process raw. Well, shes been on a raw diet since 3 months old, shes now 13 months old and is healthy, happy, never had any issues. And yeah, Its a total fad - seriously, how can feeding a biologically appropriate diet be a fad? Thats like wanting to see a study that proves tigers should be fed meat and not cabbage🙄
My dog is 50 lb border collie mix. How many raw eggs can I give him per day. Also, is it ok to give acv? I put a splash each day in his raw bowl to keep away ticks and fleas. Anyone else do this?
Apple Cider vinegar is really good for them
since eggs are really concentrated in nutrients I heard its good not to exceed 3 times a week
💚💚
I find it funny that horses have lived with humans longer than dogs and yet with horses everyone is like "they need 90% of thier diet to be hay and grass" mean while we keep giving our dogs processed food🧐🧐
thats not true - dogs are actually the oldest domesticates starting in the ice age. Other animals such as cats, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and horses came in the holocene with the farmers.
@@rawexplorer8373 ah okay, I have heard that horses have been living with us longer than dogs. But I'm not that interested in history😅
I got some raw pet-grade meat from the butcher. Pretty sure it was just bowel contents. My dogs peed on it! What does that tell u?
That would tell me the dog has some issues and also needs to be house trained.
I hate how TH-cam keeps making your captions Vietnamese 😭
They do? I'm sorry!
Lol
Not disagreeing, but, How wd we even know that dog chow is 'nutritionally balanced'? How skewed is the info provided to us (the consumers) by the industry? Look at human 'meal replacement' drinks...surely that's not an optimal diet...just a few cheap supplements tossed tgthr by the industry and the RDA exec's. We don't even know much about how humans should eat! Few years back, Keto was the thing, now those same ppl who promoted it are saying to cycle in and out of it. Compare dif' experts, and they'll have various recommendations. I try to feed myself and my dogs the best I can (99%). Grass fed burger is a LOT$! Organic free range chicken's largely unavailable. Our eggs aren't always the best. I DO know, as far as humans go...our meals don't have to be 'balanced'...it's wide variety over time that provides us with a better share of the nutrients we need.
I had my dog on raw for 6 months… he was doing great on it. But then one day (Sunday) he got sick and actually lost mobility in his hind legs. He had to stay with vet overnight costing me $2500. He’s recovering now on bland diet and I have $200 of raw meet in the freezer. I’m scared to put him back on. I also was heavily scolded by the vet for feeding him raw.
How do you know he got sick from eating raw... And screw the vets OK why would you believe a vet why would you believe someone who tells you a processed kibble that looks like cereal is better than a piece of chicken... That's like you going to your doctor and them telling you that McDonald's burgers or cereal is better than a kale salad
I think that its all in your head because we have been conditioned to believe that raw is bad for dogs you had him on raw for 6 months and hes doing good and then he got sick that doesn't mean it was from the raw OK I seriously doubt you would be saying that if you had him on kibble for 6 months and he got sick most people wouldn't relate it to the kibble it's all in your head
Thats strange - are you sure its from the food? Sometimes it can technically happen that a dog who is somehow imunocompromised (for example disrupted microflora and you have no idea) can get salmonella or something from a low quality raw diet (though they can get an infection from kibble too) but losing mobility is more of a neurological issue. This almost sounds like he ingested something toxic, like a rat bait (actually kibble is more likely to contain something harmful than raw). And yeah vets like to link every single issue to a raw diet :( Even if its actually not connected at all. I would really think your dog could have eaten a poison - those usually manifest through sudden distress like vomiting, diarrhea, fever, high blood pressure and neurological issues like tremors, seizures and loss of mobility. Make sure your dog´s kidney and liver values are ok. But im telling you - this doesnt sound like an issue from a raw diet. And I am objective - I would say it if I thought so.
@@rawexplorer8373 exactly what I said. There are no health issues from a animal eating a biologically species appropriate diet. Vets love to blame any issue on raw diet no matter what. They never ever blame health issues on Kibble though. I would stay away from vets. You really don't need vets if you feed proper nutrition unless of course your dog gets a broken leg or something like injury.
@@rawexplorer8373 she needs to understand vets hate when you feed raw. They don't want people to know about feeding your pets real food because they would go out of business quick. Vets only care about 1 thing and it isn't your pet.
My vet told me that a raw diet can expose my dog to salmonella and other various bad things.
And the vet completely overlooks the fact that salmonella is also found in kibble and dog treats. Salmonella is scarcely a risk to any dog as they are naturally equipped to handle such bacteria and it's already in most dogs gut without showing any symptoms. However, there are many strains of salmonella and not all are harmful to dogs.
What’s insane is that humans are only focused on giving raw to their dogs and not eating raw themselves. There is a reason why early wolves & cats were drawn and then domesticated by humans. We shared raw food.
And genetically, humans are more wild/natural than dogs. I mean I was eating a chicken breast and yellow jackets (a flying insect) even joined me to expertly cut round little balls of raw flesh to take home. It was adorable and education.
But our pets loove raw meat, I find it disgusting to even make it for them, can't imagine eating a raw chicken breast
Cuz humans dont find raw meat taste palatable..but most dogs like the taste of fresh raw > kibbles
@@leanntan3229 if your experience is coupled with modern food consumption, I wouldn’t expect raw meat to be palatable to most. From experience, modern foods avoided will make raw appreciated on a deeper level. Carbohydrates make cooked meat with a lot of seasoning The preferred choice. ^ Carbs diet and raw meat don’t make sense.
@@bdmenne ? Where did you get that? The first evidence of humans consuming processed food is at least several hundred thousand years old, if not millions. Dogs have been domesticated less than 20 000 years. And up until the last 100 years they basically ate raw. We, on the other hand, cooked the whole time. And our body is not even adapted to process raw meat any longer.
