Hey! Just wanted to point out that Harlow has some minor issues on kibble, but is not miserable by any means. Please do not feel pressured to pursue raw if it is not feasible for you/your family. We all must do what works best for us and our furry friends, and there is no judgement here. 😊
Harlow is so lucky to have such a loving family. It's hard for me to watch other people on TH-cam with service animals because they talk about them/treat them like tools and nothing else. It makes me happy to see Harlow's wonderful life.
I definitely want to feed my dog a raw diet once I live on my own. I don't have the room to store raw food in our freezer, sadly. I definitely know that my dog would benefit more from a raw diet, she has issues with allergies as well. But I'll just have to wait! Thank you for your info!
You can purchase a cooler box (not sure if it keeps the food as cold as a regular freezer, and I believe it needs to have ice in it) hopefully it works out for you!
kylee_97 also, if you don't want to feed your dog kibble, cooking meat is the next best. I feed my dog cooked chicken breast and cooked beef (we don't do raw diet at all, and my dog is very happy with cooked meat.) we got our dog from a shelter and she was on kibble but we did a slow transition, and she was fine
I have a cat that's allergic to fish. It's been an challenge finding food and treats that have no fish or fish oil. And slip ups aren't an option. Her eyes swell so much and get ulcers that she almost lost one just from having a treat that we didn't realise had fish oil. For now she gets a science diet with really broken down protein.
Poor kitty Try the wellness core range. Nice quality, tad annoying that the cans are larger than a single serve 156g/5.5 ounces but they have 3 varieties fish free.
Chronically Jaquie yeah fish is in nearly everything. And most cats love fish and shrimp so much too. I have to be really careful to wash my dishes right away as well because sometimes she will try to get into the sink.
Rachael H thank you! I'll look into that. I have 3 cats so larger cans wouldn't be an issue. Only one has the fish allergy. One has a skin allergy to clay litter but that's easily solved by the sawdust based litter. Thankfully the other doesn't have any allergies that I've found so far.
wow Jaquie, recently changed my puppy's diet? that's just a lot more work. never the less she loves it? noticed a difference just who she is. somehow she really likes that. just her new diet. thanks Jaquie :)
If you liked spirited away and those movies you should give the movie Your Name a try. The english dub is coming out on November 15th and it's just an amazing animated movie from Japan and my favorite movie. The animation and story is great :D
Lol it was so funny! I was bummed because I stopped filming right as it fell in, but started recording again right away. Still got a good laugh out of it :P
I am happy too see y'all getting back to a normal. Harlow the wonder dog knows that raw food is better for her and the beast inside her LOL. Take care y'all..HUGS..Prayers..love y'all💝💝🙏🙏🍁😀💪💪🐾🐾🌴🐈❄🐱🐕🙏🙏💝
You've helped me see how easy a raw diet can be! Others we know who feed food rather than kibble cook their food, so we always felt it was much more work. I watched Pet Fooled on Netflix and decided I will switch my puppy to raw in the coming months (I have to talk to the vet, research nutritional needs, find where I'll buy everything, etc). My 8 y/o pug has to stay on kibble, she refuses to eat any veggies 😅
Janiece's other dog won t eat veggies but se blends them with fruit into pops and that works lol. It can be hard to prep the raw meals but so worth it. And from the research I have done, raw is better than cooked and I find it easier too :)
OK, thanks to you and your information, I have decided to put my rescue dog, Lucky, on a raw diet. We picked him up a year ago and he was a street pup in Atlanta along with his Mom and litter of Lab/whippet crosses. What a handful he is. We will see if it helps his ear shaking and irritations. I have fibro/arthitis so will make it ahead like you do w help from hubby. Thank you, Your friend from NH ((have a dd (dear daughter) in Orlando))
The way Harlow rests on your shoulder is the most precious thing I've ever seen. She was very curious to see what Judd had to eat in the car. Get better soon!!!
I'm thinking of switching to raw for my dog, she absolutely hates kibble and would rather starve herself. I feed her canned food, but yet she gets bored of it (?) very easily and after a week or so she'll skip meals, which always worries me so much. Its not like she has sensitive teeth she literally chews hard textbook for fun. I'm going to consult my vet soon, but I'm really glad I found this diet through your channel I had never heard of it before (:
Our bulldogs are raw feeders. We use chicken necks for bones. What other bones do you use? When absolutely necessary we use Canidae Grain Free Bison dry. We never did slow transitions either. Our girls adapted immediately. Love your channel. Informative, engaging and thoughtful. Thank you for all your efforts!
Bulldog Mom we alternate between turkey bones (comes in the turkey cuts), pigs feet, chicken feet, and lamb bones. She really seems to like lamb the best (:
Mom is such a rock star! I love the taste test idea! I feed my dog raw, no disrespect to those who don't. My little guy gets crazy-itchy on kibble. And yeah, he's more lean on raw.
Tucker, eats Nutro Lamb and Rice kibble. He has never had bad ear infections, Just 5 ear inflammations in his 11 years and 8 months of life. My cocker before him, had a lot of ear infections, because we would by different kibble. Tucker, been on the same since a puppy. I also buy him all natural treats.
My 3 babies have always been on raw diet. They are so healthy and they only poo twice a day max, their teeth are great, their coats are healthy and they aren't as hyperactive as they were on kibble. My sisters dogs are on kibble and they poo soooo many times a day which surely means they aren't getting much out of their food. They've had to have teeth cleaned and removed. Our vet says they are so healthy for 11 year old jack Russells. Xx
Hugs. I am immunosuppressive due duel therapy on low dose chemo and biologic shots. If I have any sign of fever like 99.8 or higher with chills (over 100.4 or higher ER visit immediately) I am on antibiotics as soon as possible. Colds usually do not cause those, usually below normal with chills. High risk for sepsis so no messing around.
I follow lots of people with service dogs and chronic illness and i love my fellow subbers to this channel. on some channels the comment can be so vile and hateful, like people who struggle like this are some kind of drama queens. makes me so mad!
Wildflower Rocket Sadly I have found that some people in the service dog community and chronic illness community tend to be quite critical. I would rather we lift each other up and not put each other down. But I agree with you, most people I've met here in the comments section are very kind!
I love how the hair on Harlow's ears looks crimped. It is so cute. When we get a dog I think I will try a raw diet for him/her. I do see many benefits that make all the extra prep work worth it.
I have learned so much from your channel! My son has CP and a brain injury and I have some psych and health issues due to what happend from his birth which caused these issues anyways with that said we have been waiting for our service dog since dec 2016 and she is coming home in oct! finally! Upon preparing for her i re watched all your videos pretty much and went to my vet and mud bay store to ask about food since my old dog had chicken allergies and they mentioned u can do some raw some kibble or kibble and raw meaty bones if you cant do completely raw diet? What do you think about that? I have always been sportive of a raw diet for dogs and cats but i worry now with a child about contamination. But then it cant be any dif than preparing dinner for the family if you are clean right?
Annie s So I am very immuno deficient but the only risk with the raw diet to me is the prep. I'm obviously very careful and clean with the proper, so that is not a problem. Harlow will not eat food and then contaminate me because dogs have enzymes in their mouth that instantly clean them. I do not recommend mixing raw and kibble because they digest at different rates and in extreme cases can cause blockages. Some people do raw in the morning and kibble at night or vice versa, I guess that would be OK but you would have to do your own research to make your own choice . A good resource is my friends channel that I mentioned, there is a link in the description
Chronically Jaquie thank you. Yeah I am sure if I do the prep at night when the little one goes to bed and do the raw feeding at night and kibble in the morning but I always thought u had to do one or the other or else it would cause digestive issues but that was just my assumption. I totally follow your friend and also saved that conversion raw food thingy just in case. Thank you again so much for taking the time to make your videos and put your life out there helping others and reminding us all to keep moving forward!!!!
What does your vet say about raw diet? I brought it up with mine and he said it "wasn't supported by research" I haven't dug far enough into raw diet, but I don't really see the problem if a quality multivitamin was added for extra insurance along with some omega oils and of course bones.
My vet supports it! As long as it is done correctly. I am not 100% sure if raw is taught in vet school or not. But my vet says it is great, especially for working dogs. But, it has to be done right. The correct ratios, additives. He also supports BARF model with fruits and veggies to get extra nutrients.
Watch Pet Fooled on Netlfix (and use other sources as documentaries are very biased). Raw diets are not usually taught in vet school and kibble brands warn against them. To them Raw = bacteria, inadequate nutrition, illness, etc. That's totally wrong! I'm going to go raw even my vet disagrees. You don't need any supplements unless your dog requires them anyway (ex. My senior dog should take joint supplements) or if you cook the food as cooking decreases some of the nutrients.
Twichl Raw diet "isn't supported by research" because NOBODY is going to pay to research raw diet because there is "nothing to sell". Kibble is "supported by research" - meaning - 1) they raised puppies on it and fed it to adult dogs for X number of days or years. 2) and MOST IMPORTANT - take a look around you. The "RESEARCH" is in - once dogs started eating PEOPLE FOOD IN BAGS (aka "dog chow"") they ALSO have diabetes, joint problems, cancer, etc. Dogs are carnivore-omnivores - meaning they eat meat, bones, stomach contents (grasses) and FRUITS - like apples, pears, (drop fruits), as well as bark/sticks, etc. I have NEVER seen wild dog relatives eat a diet that is CORN or GRAIN / RICE based and dried. ALSO - I have NEVER seen a dog eat corn or rice that didn't come out COMPLETELY UNDIGESTED IN ITS POOP. (I have been a farmer for 50 years - ) CORN is not a "native food" to ANY carnivore or even humans. It is a MODERN, Genetically developed and now GMO "food?". Research how extruder pressed QUALITY FOODS (protein, people cereals, etc) become TOXIC due to the HIGH HEAT and processing. So that even "HIGH QUALITY" pet foods are TOXIC because they are extruder pressed. Live is best. Don't sweat the "lack of research" - look around you. "RESEARCH" supports LIVE DIETS everywhere on the planet. "RESEARCH" PROVES bagged food is NOT HEALTHY for our pets - even though it can "grow" them and "keep them 'alive'". People and pets with Diabetes are "alive" - but not HEALTHY. Pet "food" is designed to MAKE MONEY - GET YOU TO BUY IT - NOT make your dog as healthy as she can be. MY OPINION ..... Best wishes to all.
Cayla C FEAR, FEAR, FEAR !!!!! THAT is how they keep you as customers. "If you feed raw, your dog and your family will be POISONED" ...... That is RUBBISH. Dogs have been eating raw food UNTIL only a few years ago. Look up when dog chows were invented, became popular and then mainstream. WHAT did dogs eat before that? I have been a farmer for over 50 years and we NEVER had to feed our dogs or cats "chow". They only ate RAW food - butcher scraps, raw milk and cheeses, left over table scraps - fruits, potatoes, lettuce, apples, etc. Hate to say - GROSS - but they would catch things like woodchucks, bury them for days and eat ROTTEN meat, organs and gut contents. A well as the hides with hair. THAT is how they stayed healthy. They NEVER went to the vet. They lived a long life, healthy, and got "sick" usually the day they died - something like a stroke or such - and they were "put down". They WORKED HARD - ALL DAY - EVERY DAY - their WHOLE LIVES. Happy and intelligent. You want healthy animals - feed them REAL, RAW, GOOD, FOOD - that they would eat because they don't SHOP and can't read LABELS! Dogs were designed by and have lived with people since there have been dogs. THEY EAT WHAT PEOPLE EAT. (People ate differently til about 100 years ago) - MEAT, MILK, EGGS, ROOT CROPS (beets, potatoes, carrots, and squashes too), FRUITS, NUTS, and ALL "waste" - whey, butcher scraps, etc. Check out what foods your BREED was developed eating - sheep and lambs, waterfowl, travelling goat herds, salmon, rats and mice, royal pastries ...... ? RAW also means GOOD bacteria and ENZYMES. Dogs have a HUGE amount of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs to digest food and kill "bad bugs". And we NEVER worried about "switching" their diet from day to day. They got what there was to eat. If it didn't settle well - they puked it up. And then they ate it again! (FARM DOGS BREEDS) This isn't nice for family pets - but they won't be exposed to rotten foods they've buried or found. Or hides with hair and maggots on them. Yep - that's YUMMY to dogs ..... so are "cow patties" - pre-digested grasses. OOPS - they are "full of E-coli" - so your dog will die if she eats them too ............. NOT!!!! (AND GET WORMS - RIGHT? NOT!) Studies have shown in fact that the SOLVENTS on the MACHINES used to make the DOG CHOWS (and other animal and people "chows") are present in the "food" and dissolve the egg cases of INTERNAL PARASITES - so that while they SHOULD have passed THRU the body, they HATCH IN IT INSTEAD - infesting your pet thru it's FOOD (solvents). Causing infestations of parasites - which then "need" - TA DAH - PRESCRIPTIONS !!!!! YAY!!!! FEED RAW. Our dogs ate "disgusting", worm and flea infested VERMIN whenever they could and NEVER had worms and all these "health problems" that are a "mystery" to "modern medicine". Best wishes to you in your journey. :-)
Twichl When we first got our pup she had a lot of allergy problems, but the first vet we took her to didn't support raw. He wanted us to put her on a special "hydrolyzed protein" kibble. Eventually we changed vets to a holistic one that would test her for food sensitivities, and strongly encourages raw. Turns out she's allergic to chicken, beef, turkey, and pork, as well as all grains and legumes - no kibble for her! So now we feed her raw lamb, elk, goat and llama from a raw dog food company, and she is SO HEALTHY! Lean, shiny coat, no more ear infections or diarrhea or hives... it's been a godsend. So I don't think all vets are really informed about raw feeding.
I wish it was easy to find dog food and treats for my dog 😅 He has many different food allergies and they’re all protein related. He’s allergic to beef, chicken, pork, rabbit, fish, milk, and lamb! Out of all the proteins the vet tested him for, he was only not allergic to eggs and turkey. Finding food that doesnt include any of those 7 things has been tough, but we finally found some foods that have worked. His main allergy enemy is now grass. Yes, my dog is allergic to grass, pretty much all types too. He takes supplements that help reduce his itching and irritated skin, but I wish I could help so much more.
Spirited awayyyyyy my favourite movie of alll timeee🖤🖤🖤Kiki's delivery service is good too but yeah Spirited away is better in my opinion. I'm actually going to be Kiki for halloween!
Hi Jacquie!! I want to mention that I was told that once you { defrost } frozen meat , , , that it is unsafe and unhealthy to { refreeze } the meat. .... Maybe Harlow being a doggie wouldn't show any effects of bacteria change in his yummies ???? I don't know. I just wanted to let you know 👍 Thanks for being there for others💗
Hi Jackie. I love watching your videos! I wanted to share a company called 'Big Country Raw' with you. They do pre-made raw food for dogs and cats and deliver all over the US and Canada. I just wanted to mention it because I see how much work it is preparing raw food it :) You guys are awesome!
Hey Jacquie I hope I spelled your name correctly. I've got a diabetic dog. Do you think a raw diet would be good for him? I don't know about the raw chicken. God bless you. Harlow is so sweet. Keep moving forward.
I think a raw diet can be very beneficial, but you should do your research to see if it is right for your family. Go to my friend's channel "The Raw Life" and start learning :)
What happens if you put kibble in her normal food bowl though? And the raw in the other bowl. Would she still go for the raw or is it that she loves her food bowl. Im just curious.
Hi Jaquie! I wonder if you can ask you a question please... what is the reason you are worried about how fast Harlow eats? I've wondered about getting one of those bowls for our dog, but other people tell me he eats at a 'normal pace' for a dog, lol. I had a dog a long time ago, but mustn't have paid much attention to how fast he ate, because I remember nothing. It seems fast to me! I guess what I'm asking is what is 'too fast'? (Madison, I hope you don't mind me jumping into your post, it just really 'fit' here because of the topic 😋.)
Hi Heather, I have a golden retriever too and I use a bowl like this to slow him down. When they eat too fast, there's a risk of bloat, which happens when they swallow air and can't get it out. As the gas builds up it can make the dog very uncomfortable, and in rare cases, it could even cause the stomach to twist, which can be fatal, and it's hard to spot if you're not trained for it. Not all dogs are at risk though. Goldens and labs are especially known for eating fast. I'm not sure on the exact speed that's recommended these days, but if the meal is lasting a good couple of minutes then it's probably nothing to worry about.
i love spirited away, and kiki's delivery service! i probably haven't watched either for a few years though :) i should put it on the to-do list for a rest day! the pink keep moving forward top looks so good with the matching pink leggings! now i want to buy pink leggings to so i can recreate your outfit haha
hope you are feeling better. when my daughter was little she would go from sniffles to pneumonia in just hours. it can be scary getting sick with other illnesses. from my eds I passed on an electrical issue in the heart called wpw.
Hi, I love your videos and I'm going to miss watching them when I go into the hospital for 30 days coming up. I'm going to go so I can get on meds to stabilize my mental illnesses and get help getting on my feet. I'm really going to be wondering what your adventures are while I'm in the hospital and will try to catch up when I get home from the hospital.
Hello just wondering where you get the dog leash that goes around your waist... I'm a wheelchair user with a dog and currently have to sit on his leash but I feel that the waist leash would be safer and slightly easier and more comfortable for me xx
you should watch a silent voice (or the shape of voice) I highly recommend it. it talks about a girl that is deaf and was bullied by a boy. Later on, the boy realizes his mistake and tries to do everything he can to pay her back. 😊
Sorry to hear you have both had this nasty bug, but I'm glad that Judd is on the mend and hopefully you have staved off anything more severe and your IVIG can go on as planned. I had to laugh at about the 6:20 mark as you were driving in the car. Judd totally has the "law enforcement glance" down pat to the car driving beside you! Hehe. I hope this is a great week for all who read this! xo Heather🇨🇦
I used to have a cat that we fed raw diet to. It was what he was used to so we continued it. Our other cats weren't really into it, so it was easy enough for the one cat.
Hey, Jaq. I'm not sure if you will know the answer to this or not, but I have severe depression and I was wondering if a service dog is an option. I have had this condition since I was 12, I tried medication and therapy, it has done nothing but make it worse. I have been off meds and not been to a therapist in three years. My depression is physically debilitating, I neglect self care way too often. I forget to drink water or eat for days, I can't get out of bed, I sleep too much, and I can never give anything my full attention anymore so I neglect my school work to the point that I'm close to failing. I've seen service dogs do things like retrieve bottles of water, wake up their handlers, comfort them when they're upset, prevent distractions, etc. Do service dogs only apply to people with a physical illness?
"Double rainbow! What does it mean?" Well, a "double rainbow" is a phenomenon of optics that displays a spectrum of light due to the sun shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. Does that explain it? Also studio glibly is awesome!
I have a few tricks that I do because I have an immune deficiency and I gargle with Listerine and do a NeilMed Sinus Rinse. I works best for me twice a day as soon as someone in my house gets sick.
I know a woman who has four Dobermans; she makes their meals by hand, and what she does is mix up kibble into their meals. That way, if the dogs have to stay with someone, they can eat regular dog food without getting sick.
How did you ween Harlow off the kibble and onto the raw diet? Cause some of he allergy symptoms you described sound like some of my dogs issue and the only problem is he has a hard time changing food.
my cat is a kitten and when we fed him adult cat food because we bought it by mistake so later that day it didn't stay down. We decided to stick to kitten food untill he grows up.
My friend tried various raw diets (pre-made, homemade, various ingredients, etc) and her dog simply refused to eat it. Mind you, she is a rescue that is 4 and was still on puppy chow when she adopted her earlier this year! She tried about 6 different kibble brands before finding one Lulu would finish each meal. Some dogs just don't like it I guess *shrug*
I love Spirited Away! Howl's Moving Castle is a close second. You should check out A Silent Voice. It's only subbed right now and I don't know when it will be dubbed. But I love that movie too.
Harlow is adorable! And I’m also going for my first blood test soon because my doctor thinks I have juvenile arthritis! So hopefully I’ll be getting a diagnosis!
Dear Alexander Hansen I have arthritis, I'm young enough for juvenile arthritis however mines not juvenile. It's not that bad as long as you do what the doctor says. I've taken a while to find a good medication and dosage and I'm still looking. I've found the cycling and swimming as really helped
My favorite Miyazaki films are Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke. My daughter loves kiki, ponyo and spirited away. My son is more totoro or porco rosso.
honey & soy It was a very long process and we are still working on it but I just had to find what made her excited. there is probably a good tutorial on TH-cam, check out the channel called training positive
when I'm older and have pets of my own I want to feed them raw diets. I plan on getting dogs, cats and ferrets. (I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs and cats, and my parents are getting us 2 ferrets soon so by the time im living on my own i will know what to do)
Hey! Just wanted to point out that Harlow has some minor issues on kibble, but is not miserable by any means. Please do not feel pressured to pursue raw if it is not feasible for you/your family. We all must do what works best for us and our furry friends, and there is no judgement here. 😊
Chronically Jaquie hi 😀
Love you!!! I really want to meet you someday! I am training my dog to become an alert dog! Btw Judd is really nice!
Chronically Jaquie hi
Harlow is so lucky to have such a loving family. It's hard for me to watch other people on TH-cam with service animals because they talk about them/treat them like tools and nothing else. It makes me happy to see Harlow's wonderful life.
Chronically Jaquie hi
I definitely want to feed my dog a raw diet once I live on my own. I don't have the room to store raw food in our freezer, sadly. I definitely know that my dog would benefit more from a raw diet, she has issues with allergies as well. But I'll just have to wait! Thank you for your info!
We barely have enough room so I understand the space issue!
You can purchase a cooler box (not sure if it keeps the food as cold as a regular freezer, and I believe it needs to have ice in it) hopefully it works out for you!

Oh my goodness, what a severe allergy! Har is not like that, but I am so sorry about your cat. And I imagine fish is in a lot of cat related products.
Poor kitty
Try the wellness core range. Nice quality, tad annoying that the cans are larger than a single serve 156g/5.5 ounces but they have 3 varieties fish free.
Chronically Jaquie yeah fish is in nearly everything. And most cats love fish and shrimp so much too. I have to be really careful to wash my dishes right away as well because sometimes she will try to get into the sink.

Also check out Hounds and Gatos, Weruva (their classic line), Ziwi Peak.
wow Jaquie, recently changed my puppy's diet? that's just a lot more work. never the less she loves it? noticed a difference just who she is. somehow she really likes that. just her new diet. thanks Jaquie :)
If you liked spirited away and those movies you should give the movie Your Name a try. The english dub is coming out on November 15th and it's just an amazing animated movie from Japan and my favorite movie. The animation and story is great :D
Thanks I will check it out! I am always in the mood for a good movie :)
I'm guessing you've also seen _My Neighbor Totoro_ , too, right? That's a great film.
I've been wanting to see that one so bad, I can't wait
Your name is good!
I loved Judds face after he dropped his first bite of chicken into his soup!
Lol it was so funny! I was bummed because I stopped filming right as it fell in, but started recording again right away. Still got a good laugh out of it :P
Chronically Jaquie We saw enough to see the whole story, did not even see the interruption in filming. 😂 His face told the whole story.
You're so inspiring and informative . I'm going to be a nurse and I hope I can help people who are chronically ill like you and others too. 😁
I think you will make a great nurse!
I am happy too see y'all getting back to a normal. Harlow the wonder dog knows that raw food is better for her and the beast inside her LOL. Take care y'all..HUGS..Prayers..love y'all💝💝🙏🙏🍁😀💪💪🐾🐾🌴🐈❄🐱🐕🙏🙏💝

Janiece's other dog won
t eat veggies but se blends them with fruit into pops and that works lol. It can be hard to prep the raw meals but so worth it. And from the research I have done, raw is better than cooked and I find it easier too :)
@ 6:45 OMG! Awesome!!! I've got to show my wife, she LOVES rainbows!!!
We had a double rainbow on our wedding day.
Spirited Away is one of my favorites as well!
Loved seeing her basically dive into the bowl once Judd said Harlow ok she is such a great pup
OK, thanks to you and your information, I have decided to put my rescue dog, Lucky, on a raw diet. We picked him up a year ago and he was a street pup in Atlanta along with his Mom and litter of Lab/whippet crosses. What a handful he is. We will see if it helps his ear shaking and irritations. I have fibro/arthitis so will make it ahead like you do w help from hubby. Thank you, Your friend from NH ((have a dd (dear daughter) in Orlando))
Best of luck! Janiece's channel is a great resource for getting started :)
The way Harlow rests on your shoulder is the most precious thing I've ever seen. She was very curious to see what Judd had to eat in the car. Get better soon!!!
Spirited Away is like one of my many favorite animes! 😁
thank you for showing harlow's meal prep
Hi Jaquie i recently read an article on feeding dogs raw honey, slowly introducing it to her plate, which helps with environmental allergies.
I'm thinking of switching to raw for my dog, she absolutely hates kibble and would rather starve herself. I feed her canned food, but yet she gets bored of it (?) very easily and after a week or so she'll skip meals, which always worries me so much. Its not like she has sensitive teeth she literally chews hard textbook for fun. I'm going to consult my vet soon, but I'm really glad I found this diet through your channel I had never heard of it before (:
Our bulldogs are raw feeders. We use chicken necks for bones. What other bones do you use? When absolutely necessary we use Canidae Grain Free Bison dry.
We never did slow transitions either. Our girls adapted immediately.
Love your channel. Informative, engaging and thoughtful.
Thank you for all your efforts!
Bulldog Mom we alternate between turkey bones (comes in the turkey cuts), pigs feet, chicken feet, and lamb bones. She really seems to like lamb the best (:
Mom is such a rock star! I love the taste test idea! I feed my dog raw, no disrespect to those who don't. My little guy gets crazy-itchy on kibble. And yeah, he's more lean on raw.
Julie's taking care of yogurt and fruit popsicles. thanks again.
Tucker, eats Nutro Lamb and Rice kibble. He has never had bad ear infections, Just 5 ear inflammations in his 11 years and 8 months of life. My cocker before him, had a lot of ear infections, because we would by different kibble. Tucker, been on the same since a puppy. I also buy him all natural treats.
Kimberlee_Tucker that's great that y'all found something that works for you!
He knows when it is time to eat. Does Harlow, know when it is time, before you feed her?
I support whatever is best for her and her health fully♡♡♡
have a good day Jaquie Judd and Hippo/Harlow!! xoxo
Tucker says hi to Harlow. Says she is cute. He used to have a Golden Retriever girlfriend, Lily. She crossed Rainbow Bridge last year
My 3 babies have always been on raw diet. They are so healthy and they only poo twice a day max, their teeth are great, their coats are healthy and they aren't as hyperactive as they were on kibble. My sisters dogs are on kibble and they poo soooo many times a day which surely means they aren't getting much out of their food. They've had to have teeth cleaned and removed. Our vet says they are so healthy for 11 year old jack Russells. Xx
"...and they turn into pigs?"
Me: I thought Judd was already a pig technically (since he makes so many jokes about cops being pigs)
Oliver Likes Cats 😅😅
I was hoping for you guys to mention Howl's Moving Castle! That's definitely my favorite, especially the soundtrack is so beautiful
I watched Spirited Away months ago!
Hugs. I am immunosuppressive due duel therapy on low dose chemo and biologic shots. If I have any sign of fever like 99.8 or higher with chills (over 100.4 or higher ER visit immediately) I am on antibiotics as soon as possible. Colds usually do not cause those, usually below normal with chills. High risk for sepsis so no messing around.
I follow lots of people with service dogs and chronic illness and i love my fellow subbers to this channel. on some channels the comment can be so vile and hateful, like people who struggle like this are some kind of drama queens. makes me so mad!
Wildflower Rocket Sadly I have found that some people in the service dog community and chronic illness community tend to be quite critical. I would rather we lift each other up and not put each other down. But I agree with you, most people I've met here in the comments section are very kind!
Spirited Away is the best! SO many memories.
Wow I'm real impressed with Judd's chop stick talents lol
I love how the hair on Harlow's ears looks crimped. It is so cute. When we get a dog I think I will try a raw diet for him/her. I do see many benefits that make all the extra prep work worth it.
I have learned so much from your channel! My son has CP and a brain injury and I have some psych and health issues due to what happend from his birth which caused these issues anyways with that said we have been waiting for our service dog since dec 2016
and she is coming home in oct! finally! Upon preparing for her i re watched all your videos pretty much and went to my vet and mud bay store to ask about food since my old dog had chicken allergies and they mentioned u can do some raw some kibble or kibble and raw meaty bones if you cant do completely raw diet? What do you think about that? I have always been sportive of a raw diet for dogs and cats but i worry now with a child about contamination. But then it cant be any dif than preparing dinner for the family if you are clean right?
Annie s So I am very immuno deficient but the only risk with the raw diet to me is the prep. I'm obviously very careful and clean with the proper, so that is not a problem. Harlow will not eat food and then contaminate me because dogs have enzymes in their mouth that instantly clean them. I do not recommend mixing raw and kibble because they digest at different rates and in extreme cases can cause blockages. Some people do raw in the morning and kibble at night or vice versa, I guess that would be OK but you would have to do your own research to make your own choice . A good resource is my friends channel that I mentioned, there is a link in the description
Chronically Jaquie thank you. Yeah I am sure if I do the prep at night when the little one goes to bed and do the raw feeding at night and kibble in the morning but I always thought u had to do one or the other or else it would cause digestive issues but that was just my assumption. I totally follow your friend and also saved that conversion raw food thingy just in case. Thank you again so much for taking the time to make your videos and put your life out there helping others and reminding us all to keep moving forward!!!!
Healing prayers to you and Judd!🌴🙏❤🐶 I love Harlow🤗
Happy Sunday everybody!
i have that same blanket that Judd is using at the end of the video, except mine is lavender color. and i'm using it right now!
What does your vet say about raw diet? I brought it up with mine and he said it "wasn't supported by research" I haven't dug far enough into raw diet, but I don't really see the problem if a quality multivitamin was added for extra insurance along with some omega oils and of course bones.
My vet supports it! As long as it is done correctly. I am not 100% sure if raw is taught in vet school or not. But my vet says it is great, especially for working dogs. But, it has to be done right. The correct ratios, additives. He also supports BARF model with fruits and veggies to get extra nutrients.
Watch Pet Fooled on Netlfix (and use other sources as documentaries are very biased). Raw diets are not usually taught in vet school and kibble brands warn against them. To them Raw = bacteria, inadequate nutrition, illness, etc. That's totally wrong! I'm going to go raw even my vet disagrees. You don't need any supplements unless your dog requires them anyway (ex. My senior dog should take joint supplements) or if you cook the food as cooking decreases some of the nutrients.

Raw diet "isn't supported by research" because NOBODY is going to pay to research raw diet because there is "nothing to sell". Kibble is "supported by research" - meaning - 1) they raised puppies on it and fed it to adult dogs for X number of days or years. 2) and MOST IMPORTANT - take a look around you. The "RESEARCH" is in - once dogs started eating PEOPLE FOOD IN BAGS (aka "dog chow"") they ALSO have diabetes, joint problems, cancer, etc.
Dogs are carnivore-omnivores - meaning they eat meat, bones, stomach contents (grasses) and FRUITS - like apples, pears, (drop fruits), as well as bark/sticks, etc. I have NEVER seen wild dog relatives eat a diet that is CORN or GRAIN / RICE based and dried. ALSO - I have NEVER seen a dog eat corn or rice that didn't come out COMPLETELY UNDIGESTED IN ITS POOP. (I have been a farmer for 50 years - ) CORN is not a "native food" to ANY carnivore or even humans. It is a MODERN, Genetically developed and now GMO "food?".
Research how extruder pressed QUALITY FOODS (protein, people cereals, etc) become TOXIC due to the HIGH HEAT and processing. So that even "HIGH QUALITY" pet foods are TOXIC because they are extruder pressed.
Live is best.
Don't sweat the "lack of research" - look around you. "RESEARCH" supports LIVE DIETS everywhere on the planet. "RESEARCH" PROVES bagged food is NOT HEALTHY for our pets - even though it can "grow" them and "keep them 'alive'". People and pets with Diabetes are "alive" - but not HEALTHY.
Pet "food" is designed to MAKE MONEY - GET YOU TO BUY IT - NOT make your dog as healthy as she can be.
MY OPINION .....
Best wishes to all.
Cayla C
FEAR, FEAR, FEAR !!!!!
THAT is how they keep you as customers.
"If you feed raw, your dog and your family will be POISONED" ......
That is RUBBISH.
Dogs have been eating raw food UNTIL only a few years ago. Look up when dog chows were invented, became popular and then mainstream. WHAT did dogs eat before that?
I have been a farmer for over 50 years and we NEVER had to feed our dogs or cats "chow".
They only ate RAW food - butcher scraps, raw milk and cheeses, left over table scraps - fruits, potatoes, lettuce, apples, etc.
Hate to say - GROSS - but they would catch things like woodchucks, bury them for days and eat ROTTEN meat, organs and gut contents. A well as the hides with hair. THAT is how they stayed healthy. They NEVER went to the vet. They lived a long life, healthy, and got "sick" usually the day they died - something like a stroke or such - and they were "put down". They WORKED HARD - ALL DAY - EVERY DAY - their WHOLE LIVES. Happy and intelligent.
You want healthy animals - feed them REAL, RAW, GOOD, FOOD - that they would eat because they don't SHOP and can't read LABELS!
Dogs were designed by and have lived with people since there have been dogs. THEY EAT WHAT PEOPLE EAT. (People ate differently til about 100 years ago) - MEAT, MILK, EGGS, ROOT CROPS (beets, potatoes, carrots, and squashes too), FRUITS, NUTS, and ALL "waste" - whey, butcher scraps, etc. Check out what foods your BREED was developed eating - sheep and lambs, waterfowl, travelling goat herds, salmon, rats and mice, royal pastries ...... ?
RAW also means GOOD bacteria and ENZYMES.
Dogs have a HUGE amount of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs to digest food and kill "bad bugs".
And we NEVER worried about "switching" their diet from day to day. They got what there was to eat.
If it didn't settle well - they puked it up. And then they ate it again! (FARM DOGS BREEDS)
This isn't nice for family pets - but they won't be exposed to rotten foods they've buried or found. Or hides with hair and maggots on them. Yep - that's YUMMY to dogs ..... so are "cow patties" - pre-digested grasses. OOPS - they are "full of E-coli" - so your dog will die if she eats them too ............. NOT!!!!
(AND GET WORMS - RIGHT? NOT!)
Studies have shown in fact that the SOLVENTS on the MACHINES used to make the DOG CHOWS (and other animal and people "chows") are present in the "food" and dissolve the egg cases of INTERNAL PARASITES - so that while they SHOULD have passed THRU the body, they HATCH IN IT INSTEAD - infesting your pet thru it's FOOD (solvents). Causing infestations of parasites - which then "need" - TA DAH - PRESCRIPTIONS !!!!! YAY!!!!
FEED RAW. Our dogs ate "disgusting", worm and flea infested VERMIN whenever they could and NEVER had worms and all these "health problems" that are a "mystery" to "modern medicine".
Best wishes to you in your journey.
:-)
Twichl When we first got our pup she had a lot of allergy problems, but the first vet we took her to didn't support raw. He wanted us to put her on a special "hydrolyzed protein" kibble. Eventually we changed vets to a holistic one that would test her for food sensitivities, and strongly encourages raw. Turns out she's allergic to chicken, beef, turkey, and pork, as well as all grains and legumes - no kibble for her! So now we feed her raw lamb, elk, goat and llama from a raw dog food company, and she is SO HEALTHY! Lean, shiny coat, no more ear infections or diarrhea or hives... it's been a godsend.
So I don't think all vets are really informed about raw feeding.
If you love spirited away you gotta check out Your Name and A Silent Voice, both are stellar movies.
I wish it was easy to find dog food and treats for my dog 😅 He has many different food allergies and they’re all protein related. He’s allergic to beef, chicken, pork, rabbit, fish, milk, and lamb! Out of all the proteins the vet tested him for, he was only not allergic to eggs and turkey. Finding food that doesnt include any of those 7 things has been tough, but we finally found some foods that have worked. His main allergy enemy is now grass. Yes, my dog is allergic to grass, pretty much all types too. He takes supplements that help reduce his itching and irritated skin, but I wish I could help so much more.
Judd seems to be on a different schedule since the hurricane.
Emma Lis Yes, he has an earlier shift by it will be changing again soon
I love spirited away, such a good movie.
Spirited awayyyyyy my favourite movie of alll timeee🖤🖤🖤Kiki's delivery service is good too but yeah Spirited away is better in my opinion. I'm actually going to be Kiki for halloween!
That is cute!
Hi Jacquie!!
I want to mention that I was told that once you { defrost } frozen meat , , , that it is unsafe and unhealthy to { refreeze } the meat.
.... Maybe Harlow being a doggie wouldn't show any effects of bacteria change in his yummies ???? I don't know. I just wanted to let you know 👍
Thanks for being there for others💗
Looks like your mom is busy lately. We haven't seen your mom on the vlog lately. Miss her!!
Wakako Tsujita she is super busy, but loves her new job
Jaquie just a question do you make money off the monetization on your video?
P.s. hope you feel better!
Hi Jackie. I love watching your videos! I wanted to share a company called 'Big Country Raw' with you. They do pre-made raw food for dogs and cats and deliver all over the US and Canada. I just wanted to mention it because I see how much work it is preparing raw food it :)
You guys are awesome!
Lol awesome vlog today.. I knew she would love the raw.. Xoxo
Love Spirited Away!!!
Hey Jacquie I hope I spelled your name correctly. I've got a diabetic dog. Do you think a raw diet would be good for him? I don't know about the raw chicken. God bless you. Harlow is so sweet. Keep moving forward.
I think a raw diet can be very beneficial, but you should do your research to see if it is right for your family. Go to my friend's channel "The Raw Life" and start learning :)
Wow that is a rare sight! A double RAINBOW 🌈
I love spirited away! It's a amazing movie!
What happens if you put kibble in her normal food bowl though? And the raw in the other bowl. Would she still go for the raw or is it that she loves her food bowl. Im just curious.
Madison Sharp she would go for raw, she actually doesn't like this bowl because the point of it is to slow down her eating
Hi Jaquie! I wonder if you can ask you a question please... what is the reason you are worried about how fast Harlow eats? I've wondered about getting one of those bowls for our dog, but other people tell me he eats at a 'normal pace' for a dog, lol. I had a dog a long time ago, but mustn't have paid much attention to how fast he ate, because I remember nothing. It seems fast to me! I guess what I'm asking is what is 'too fast'?
(Madison, I hope you don't mind me jumping into your post, it just really 'fit' here because of the topic 😋.)
Hi Heather, I have a golden retriever too and I use a bowl like this to slow him down. When they eat too fast, there's a risk of bloat, which happens when they swallow air and can't get it out. As the gas builds up it can make the dog very uncomfortable, and in rare cases, it could even cause the stomach to twist, which can be fatal, and it's hard to spot if you're not trained for it. Not all dogs are at risk though. Goldens and labs are especially known for eating fast. I'm not sure on the exact speed that's recommended these days, but if the meal is lasting a good couple of minutes then it's probably nothing to worry about.
Heather D. Yeah as the other person said bloat can injure and kill dogs and is caused primarily by eating too fast
Oh Oh, Don't let PETA know you are performing animal testing! LOL I am sure that is the type of testing most dogs would love.
Lol I laughed at this
Spirited Away is my absolute favorite movie too!!!!!!!!
i love spirited away, and kiki's delivery service! i probably haven't watched either for a few years though :) i should put it on the to-do list for a rest day!
the pink keep moving forward top looks so good with the matching pink leggings! now i want to buy pink leggings to so i can recreate your outfit haha
Howl's Moving Castle is an amazing movie!!!!
when I was into dog shows we used stewed tomatoes to shine up the coat.
Patti schwanke I was always told that tomatoes are bad for dogs.
hope you are feeling better. when my daughter was little she would go from sniffles to pneumonia in just hours. it can be scary getting sick with other illnesses. from my eds I passed on an electrical issue in the heart called wpw.
Hi, I love your videos and I'm going to miss watching them when I go into the hospital for 30 days coming up. I'm going to go so I can get on meds to stabilize my mental illnesses and get help getting on my feet. I'm really going to be wondering what your adventures are while I'm in the hospital and will try to catch up when I get home from the hospital.
Feel better you two. Good choice Harlow
Hello just wondering where you get the dog leash that goes around your waist... I'm a wheelchair user with a dog and currently have to sit on his leash but I feel that the waist leash would be safer and slightly easier and more comfortable for me xx
Yes! Spirited Away is the best movie ever!
Totally agree, doubtful, yet very supportive. 😂
you should watch a silent voice (or the shape of voice) I highly recommend it. it talks about a girl that is deaf and was bullied by a boy. Later on, the boy realizes his mistake and tries to do everything he can to pay her back. 😊
Hippo is DARLING! 💗
Sorry to hear you have both had this nasty bug, but I'm glad that Judd is on the mend and hopefully you have staved off anything more severe and your IVIG can go on as planned. I had to laugh at about the 6:20 mark as you were driving in the car. Judd totally has the "law enforcement glance" down pat to the car driving beside you! Hehe. I hope this is a great week for all who read this! xo Heather🇨🇦
I used to have a cat that we fed raw diet to. It was what he was used to so we continued it. Our other cats weren't really into it, so it was easy enough for the one cat.
Hey, Jaq. I'm not sure if you will know the answer to this or not, but I have severe depression and I was wondering if a service dog is an option. I have had this condition since I was 12, I tried medication and therapy, it has done nothing but make it worse. I have been off meds and not been to a therapist in three years. My depression is physically debilitating, I neglect self care way too often. I forget to drink water or eat for days, I can't get out of bed, I sleep too much, and I can never give anything my full attention anymore so I neglect my school work to the point that I'm close to failing. I've seen service dogs do things like retrieve bottles of water, wake up their handlers, comfort them when they're upset, prevent distractions, etc. Do service dogs only apply to people with a physical illness?
i love spirited away
"Double rainbow! What does it mean?"
Well, a "double rainbow" is a phenomenon of optics that displays a spectrum of light due to the sun shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. Does that explain it?
Also studio glibly is awesome!
I have a few tricks that I do because I have an immune deficiency and I gargle with Listerine and do a NeilMed Sinus Rinse. I works best for me twice a day as soon as someone in my house gets sick.
I know a woman who has four Dobermans; she makes their meals by hand, and what she does is mix up kibble into their meals. That way, if the dogs have to stay with someone, they can eat regular dog food without getting sick.
Hahaha Judd is funny!!!😂😂😂
I knew Harlow would go to the raw food too!! 😂
Before even getting into this vlog I'm predicting RAW! LOL!
Feel better soon guys.
say a prayer for me i have to get a hip replacement soon and i'm scared because of my cystic fibrosis
Praying! You are strong, you got this. I am also sure you have a good medical team backing you up. But of course, it is totally okay to be scared.
My favourite japanese movie is Howls moving castle 😍 it's the best!
How did you ween Harlow off the kibble and onto the raw diet? Cause some of he allergy symptoms you described sound like some of my dogs issue and the only problem is he has a hard time changing food.
my cat is a kitten and when we fed him adult cat food because we bought it by mistake so later that day it didn't stay down. We decided to stick to kitten food untill he grows up.
My puppy has a half raw half kibble diet and we use taste of the wild salmon flavor puppy formula.
My friend tried various raw diets (pre-made, homemade, various ingredients, etc) and her dog simply refused to eat it. Mind you, she is a rescue that is 4 and was still on puppy chow when she adopted her earlier this year! She tried about 6 different kibble brands before finding one Lulu would finish each meal. Some dogs just don't like it I guess *shrug*
Favorite movie? Ya sure?
But what about all those amazing disney movies?! 😂
love ya Jaquie
I love Spirited Away! Howl's Moving Castle is a close second. You should check out A Silent Voice. It's only subbed right now and I don't know when it will be dubbed. But I love that movie too.
I will have to check it out!
Just a heads up. It is about disabilities, bullying, and depression. It gets you right in the feels.
Judds food looks really good.
@ 7:56 Your husband is hilarious!!!
I'm going to have to try this... 🤓
Spirited away is my bffs favorite movie to! And I like it a lot to!
Harlow is adorable! And I’m also going for my first blood test soon because my doctor thinks I have juvenile arthritis! So hopefully I’ll be getting a diagnosis!
Dear Alexander Hansen I have arthritis, I'm young enough for juvenile arthritis however mines not juvenile. It's not that bad as long as you do what the doctor says. I've taken a while to find a good medication and dosage and I'm still looking. I've found the cycling and swimming as really helped
Prayers for answers so you can being treatment!
Chronically Jaquie thank you, it’s deeply appreciated!
Harlow is such adorable girl we had Chinese food for dinner I'm happy your feeling better and judd 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Did you do anything for Hispanic Heritage Month?
My favorite Miyazaki films are Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke. My daughter loves kiki, ponyo and spirited away. My son is more totoro or porco rosso.
I wish i could feed my dog a Raw diet.
My little old man has bladder stones & has to be fed a prescription kibble to stop them from getting worse.
How did you train Harlow to speak? Our dog is quiet as well, and she won't bark no matter what we've tried 😥
honey & soy It was a very long process and we are still working on it but I just had to find what made her excited. there is probably a good tutorial on TH-cam, check out the channel called training positive
Also when I get sick with a fever (have a port) I need antibiotics, its definately a inconvenience
What's the point of the design in the bowl?
when I'm older and have pets of my own I want to feed them raw diets. I plan on getting dogs, cats and ferrets. (I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs and cats, and my parents are getting us 2 ferrets soon so by the time im living on my own i will know what to do)
first i think i love u so much and yay for the new formula!! ❤️😍😘 please respond
Wonton soup is the required sick food in my house. I know I'm commenting on older videos. I'm on a CJ binge.
I came from a Facebook video , and so far I love your vlogs
