And they’ll make themselves feel better by getting different ‘flavors’ of kibble

Thank you for pointing out that companies that sell that dog food are funding vet schools (smuckers and mars to name the biggest)... I thought feeding raw was going to be such a challenge as compared to kibble but I have found inexpensive and convenient ways to go about it like buying ground meat and feeding bones like chicken wings whole as opposed to sectioning them (it happens to work out with her bone needs). Eggs are easy, goatmilk is easy, and if I prep the other foods ahead of time for a few days, it's not a challenge at all and she loves it and is so happy! I'm glad I found your channel so I could prepare- she has been eating raw from day one off mom's milk and I feel fortunate to have known about this before even getting a puppy. : )

Raw is the best. I never knew about it, even scared of it until I found your vids. 4 months after my dog was diagnosed with diabetes I had to send him to heaven. I believe switching him to raw gave me those last 4 months with him. Thank you for all your work in getting these vids out. I am forever grateful to you for it & will never feed my future dogs kibble again.

Thank you so much for the kind words, this is very touching. I'm so sorry you had to watch your baby go though that, but it makes me happy knowing his life was extended with some good food

This is literally what I preach to dog owners asking me why their dog’s food matters and what the differences are. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your videos are so helpful and informative, thank you for explaining in detail and debunking misinformation without being condescending! I was curious if you knew anything about the raw food brand Maev or the kibble brand Jinx? I couldn’t find any information online about them since they are newer brands… I was also wondering what your view on adding bone broth to dog food was? I love your videos, thanks for creating!!

Somehow, a chain supermarket in the UK( Asda ) actually stocks Lillys Kitchen for cats and dogs! For those who don’t know, Lilly’s wet food is almost the equivalent of Tiki Cat in other parts of the world

i’ve been feeding my dog a different bag of dog food about every 2 months since he was about 4 months old. i mostly feed him animal body part treats, like pig ears, bully sticks, elk antlers, beef tranchea, chicken meat treats or fruits and vegetables. i feed him homemade food randomly to just switch it up! i also give him salmon oil, canned meat, and the honest kitchen pour-overs. (the ones without potatoes and peas) as well as broth in every meal. i avoid grain free foods (unless your dog is allergic there’s no reason your dog should be on this food because it’s linked to dcm in dogs) , peas, legumes, potatoes, corn, by product meals, and most of all “natural” flavors that aren’t regulated. here and there i’ll get an ingredient or two i don’t prefer lower on the ingredient list, but i don’t mind because too much of anything is bad, so i don’t mind the occasional potato/ pea fiber. kinks dry food isn’t the best, but i’m doing more than 70% of dog owners to help my dog out. i’ve been thinking about slowly introducing cooked meals like the ready frozen ones you can get. just don’t be fooled tho, just because it’s supposed to be better, doesn’t mean it is. you need to know what is in your dogs food at the very least. the first 2- ingredients should be meat! not a buy product or essence or whatever the fuck they try to sell u. also know that when you look at the label, any ingredient below salt is in less than 3% of the meal. don’t be fooled people. the more you look for what i’m saying the faster you’ll realize these companies don’t give a fuck about dogs. they practically can sell plastic in the bag and it’s still legal. and for the love of god if the first three ingredients or legumes, peas, potato or corn GET YOUR DOG A DIFFERENT FOOD. DOGS NEED MEAT.

I feed Fromm kibble and I add a small amount of raw chunks of meat to it and then either bone broth or kefir to hydrate it! It seems to be working well for my dog. 😊

I love Matsu... he's SOOOO cute!!

Love these videos!!!

I’ve been feeding my husky raw since we got her at 5 weeks, (we transitioned her to raw), but over time she’s refusing to eat raw, she’ll eat cooked meats but just outright refuses raw. At one point she was refusing anything raw, I was desperate so I gave her some cooked ground beef, she loved that. Once in a while she’ll come over if I’ve got raw grass-fed ground beef and eat a few bites but then refuses anymore. Not sure what else to do, I’ve tried dressing it up a bit with tiny pieces of Feta cheese or add nutritional yeast, still not eating her raw stuff. So now I’m giving her cooked muscle meats, raw egg, some carrots, blueberries, peanut butter, banana. Ugh. I just cannot bring myself to give her commercial dry dog foods, and this video is further proof why I shouldn’t. Thank you!!!

I know how you feel! My German Shepherd doesn’t eat his raw food at times and it gets on my nerves! Wanna know what works for me? Put her bowl out for 15 mins during breakfast and dinner. If she doesn’t touch it, back in the fridge it goes. Repeat the next day. Dogs aren’t suicidal, she’ll get the memo soon and start devouring it the next day or two. It hurts seeing them hungry but it’s a reminder to not play games with your food! My dog Sheru does it on occasion and needs those reminders every once in a while. So don’t feel bad! Good luck hun!

Beef bones are too dense to be consumed, however they are great for making bone broth. Is this all to give as treats along with commercial food or are you using this as the sole diet? If so, a dressed chicken and a veggie smoothie wont provide enough nutrients. Here's a video where I explain how to balance a homemade raw diet: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6mslLOpmdm4iaQ.html

It breaks my heart to rewatch this video. The ingredient panel is the last thing to look at to evaluate a diet! It’s not a tool to evaluate the quality of a diet but a tool for pet food marketers to manipulate us. The ingredient panel goes by weight, not volume. So the first j Greg isn’t is just the heaviest! So they play with ingredients to fool you! And no where in this video dies the author mention nutrients! That’s what affects your dogs health! And she shows a Science Duet and a Prescription Diet that are so-totally different! I’m sorry but her 4 years in a vet clinic didn’t teach her much. I live her passion but she needs to learn a lot more. It’s too important!
