This is the freaking ultimate guide! I know you've touched on most of this within other videos but thanks for making a dedicated overview!
Of course! It's good to have a more consolidated video for things like this
I really appreciate this breakdown. This channel is so good at making these guides easy to follow, it’s been very helpful for switching my dog to raw. I started very slowly supplementing only a few months ago (after our vet approved, saying kibble has gone down in quality of the years and as long as we handle/source our ingredients safely, she thinks its a good idea). Now we’re kibble-free, and I can already tell it was completely worth the hassle of sourcing ingredients and coming up with a nutrient guide and meal prepping schedule. This is definitely an endeavor to begin with, but it gets much easier as you learn more, and this channel is one of the best tools for that!
Oh this makes me so happy to hear! Glad I could help! :)
Thank you for all of your effort and hard work! You're awesome!
Thank you for the recognition
I second that! So awesome
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge on this topic! I have learned so much from your videos and cheat sheets, and I’m slowly gaining confidence in balancing my cat’s meals without having to add the supplement powder 😊
Every raw feeder should know about your channel!
Have you considered doing Instagram graphic versions summarizing this info? Or a blog? I LOVE your videos, they’re some of my favorites on raw feeding hands down. So I would love guides from you to reference back to but I understand if you don’t have time!
This channel is amazing! Thanks for all this valuable information :)
Thank YOU!
I’d be really interested in a video about kidney disease in cats and the foods recommendations
Im so grateful for this channel. Ive been binge watching your videos at midnight lol. Thank you so much for making this channel ❤️
Aw thank you!!
I changed my kitten to a raw diet a week ago and this video came on the right time for me! I've already got the basics for making the diet and now I need to know more about these micronutrients
Perfect!
How old is your kitten
The best video ever! You are amazing.🙏
Thank you!
This is amazing! thank you so much :)
Of course
I'm transitioning my puppy from kibble to raw so I'm trying to juggle between the different ratios required for puppies as well as trying to work out what minerals are missing. I'm sure if I watch this video a few more times it will become a little clearer but if I'm feeding her mainly chicken (breast/wing and leg) pork loin with chicken heart/livers, where does an egg fit into this and what else am I missing? Like I say, a few more viewings will probably clear that up. Lots of info there so keep up the great work!
you're going to want more organs in that diet, and some meat variety. I have cats, but I've found that checking your local farmer's market, asain market, and even the meat section of the grocery store can carry what you need. I would feed gizzards if you can find them, and switching to beef liver if you can. I would recommend introducing your puppy to red meats like beef, and you can just crack an egg on top of the meal and she should lick it right up.
@@theredvelvetwitch Thanks RVW. She's now 15 months old and she's back on the raw diet after having a few months off trying to figure out an allergy (never did find out what was wrong but she's a lot better now but not 100%). I found a good online store and she has beef as her go to muscle meat with beef heart, tripe, kidney, liver as well as chicken sweetbreads, chicken wings, feet, mackerel, finely chopped seeds and kelp powder. Still haven't given her an egg, might do so today, I'm sure she'll love it, she loves everything else. 👍
very informative, thank you so much for the amazing content always
This video is really amazing! Great job!
Thanks so much :')
New sub. I found about you from Miami Raw Feeders and am loving the content.
Aw, thanks! Welcome!
You are the best in TH-cam for all current and new furry owners who decided to follow a raw food diet , thanks a lot !! any chance you will ever show some excel sheet ? Ive been working on my and they look pretty decent but would love to share with others out there :>)
Loved this video and all your other ones! Thank you so much
Can you do a video if your dog needs low phosphorus diet? Thank you lots
Gah. I love you. XD
Thanks for the tip about eggshells. I wasn't sure about it, now I know if I'm just missing calcium, that's a great addition.
I’m having trouble finding out how much kelp to add to my dogs raw diet. He’s 10 weeks old and 26 lbs. I don’t want to over supplement, do you have a recommended amount?
It's 220 mcg of iodine per 1,000 kcal fed for puppies. You will need to do the math and adjust according to how many kcal you're feeding
Hello, thanks for the video, I have a black/white Maine coon kitten, and the black hair is turning brownish, I was reading online and it says it is Tyrosine deficiency. I found some powdered supplements, but I am not sure what is the dosage, also the Vet has no clue about this issue. If you could help it will be great. Currently I am feeding him only Raw food since the beginning, Chicken thighs, chicken hearts, liver, chicken feet bones, spinach, omega oil, little bit salt, and vitamine powder mix for cats.
This video is saviour!! Thanks for the amazing videos!! i, may I know currently you feed kelp tablet to your animals? By crushing it into powder? As i could not find now kelp pure powder at my places.
Sure that's fine as long as you know how much you're feeding!
Is there like a supplement you can buy for dogs with all these vitamins in it to make it easieir to feed raw?
Hi can you make like a Raw Diet for small breed like Shih Tzu? I was like planning to switch to Raw , But i don't know what size or how much meat or how many in one meal. Thanks ..
Another great video! But this did give me a small headache. Mainly because it was to much in such little time.
But that's not your fault! I have a learning disability and autism and trying to keep up with so much information, is hard.
Yes I understand, it's a lot at once! But more of a reference guide if you're wondering about something being low in your meals, you can skip to the nutrient
@@PawsofPrey thank you !
Write a book, i'll buy it! Rather read this info from you, you make it so simple!
Aw, well thanks!
Have you thought about creating an app that we could input our breed, age and weight that will populate portioned recipes?
I do have the Formulator, which shows you your pet's caloric and nutrient needs, but you need to input the ingredients that you're feeding, and it will show you how it's meeting those needs. However, I am working on something similar to what you suggested now...stay tuned~
Hey primal pack! I was wondering if I still had to only prep out only a week worth of raw meals for my puppy if she was weaned onto a raw diet? Great video as always!
Lol you can prep as much as you want! I wean all my pups straight to RAW diets.. I unthaw the meats overnight & then prep the pups daily meals all at once in the morning.
I liked to do a week at a time when Matsu was 2-5 months because he was growing rapidly and his needs/weight/etc were changing weekly, but by 5-6 months I started prepping out multiple weeks.
@@PawsofPrey Oh my gosh tysm! I forgot about that!
I love your channel. Please!!!! Make a video on how to calculate the nutrients like iodine with kelp etc! That’s what’s been keeping me from feeding raw. I try to calculate with weight but the RA of iodine( per example) is based on amount of calories and I’m sooo confused
I did :) th-cam.com/video/H5Ry5s-X7Zw/w-d-xo.html
Hi :) its great, I just have some problems counting the nutrients in meal. I use rabbit intestines - mix of raw hearts, lungs and breathing tube. Also rabbit kidneys, I come from Czechia, where you can buy this for your pet, I just cant find the nutrients in rabbit intestines and they arent in paws of prey calculator :( do you have some advise?
Hello! I absolutely love your chanel and I want to put my dogs on a raw diet. Can you make a video telling us about good and bad meats? Even if there are bad meats. And if not, the best meats I could add? And what do you use for your veggie puree? Thank you!
I have :)
meats you shouldn't feed: th-cam.com/video/J8rq8MGI2VM/w-d-xo.html

I’m just curious what about squirrel? I can’t tell you how many mine have brought home 🤯well my cats but not one I’ve seen at least I don’t think I have but yeah ?
I'm searching all over, but I am apparently bad at using search engines. Does anyone have a link for the formulas and/or the values shown in this video?
We really want to try and balance our future dog diet and give them the best life they can have.
i- thank you so much for this!! At first I thought this video was about extra nutrients because of my dumb self LOL
Can you make some more ferret based videos? I’m looking into getting one when I move out.
How can i figure out the right balance for my Rhodesian ridgeback? Im trying hard to find information and im finally asking someone. I dont want to fail her anymore
I'm pretty sure you meant that Omega 3 fats can be found in "pastured" not "pasteurized" animal tissue :)
lol oh dear did I really say pasteurized
Thanks for info great could you please turn off the background music very distracting
Hi!! If I cant find cqnned sardines with only water, ca I rinse the liquid of the fish with tap water?
It's not ideal really even if you rinse them because they've basically marinated in it >__
Anyone use solid gold sea meal? Looking to add iodine to my dogs meals. thanks for any feedback!
Very discouraged from raw feeding because of how technical it is. So overwhelming and I don't want to harm my dog by not doing it properly
Do you have any tips on how to make feeding a extra large dog cheap?
Have you watched this video? th-cam.com/video/11AbDHz7pnk/w-d-xo.html
It does get a bit more expensive when feeding larger dogs unfortunately, but there are ways to make it a bit cheaper!
What about brain for omegas
Brain does provide it! Just in smaller amounts. I should have mentioned it!
What can I give my dog if he doesn’t eat raw eggs? Or much raw fish
I wish you publish written articles too not videos only.
We are making our website now and plan to soon after releasing it!
@@PawsofPrey best luck,we will be waiting for you.
Is there no requirement for vitamin C?
Vitamin C is non-essential, but it's still beneficial in the diet though whole food sources (for dogs, since it mainly comes from plant-based foods)!
Egg shell does not contain phosphorus and magnesium? Actually it does. :) per 100 grams. 99.3 mg of phosphorus, and 375.0 mg of magnesium. Correct?
Could you show me the source of this data? It does contain trace amounts of other minerals, but nowhere near what is in bone!
Can I feed my cat proventriculus of chicken?
Can cats meet all of their nutritional needs, through animal products?
They can depending on the variety you're feeding, but some things may still be low and need supplementation - for instance vitamin E oil.
I found whole prey at my local store they head Guinea pigs and hamsters so I will 100% do that as a whole meal
can you give a quail chick whole to your cat? or do you have to cut it up first?
You can feed them whole, but if it's their first time eating whole prey they may not understand what to do with it unless it's cut up. Certainly try though
