If you learn to buy the meat, organs and bone and prep it yourself, all you have to do is set aside 30 minutes once or twice a month and just prep a batch then freeze it in ziplocs; you just wash the meat in vinegar water to kill any extra bacteria and cut it in portions. It's really just a matter of making an effort and it ends up being cheaper than buying all of this. You can buy supplements like cranberry powder, dried kelp, fish oil to squeeze in there. Always good to have apple cider vinegar too. You can start with a simple basic recipe of chicken meat, a third teaspoon of liver, and a heart. You can build off and try other recipes from there.

Your voice is very soothing

Can we do a part 2 of this. So many brands I would love to hear your opinion on

Thanks for the review! I'll give Viva Raw a try once I can get my kitten to get raw food :D

If you're in the U.K. Bella and Duke is awesome, I've put my 3 Tortie cats on it and the results are outstanding and they have such soft fur and loads of energy

The reason Ziwi peak has such a high fat and calorie content is because here in NZ we have ALOT of working dogs that are expected to run, bark, herd and chase all day. We had our dogs working from 5am until 10pm some days on the farm so they need the extra intake to keep up with their super busy life style. Definitely would not suggest it to a dog or household who does not participate in a lot of activity.

I'm here to spread the word. My dog was vomiting, diarrhea, rough hair and shedding bad. Brought my dog to 3 vets spent $3000 to have him prescribed special "pre-digest food". When that didn't work I spend $2000 more bringing him to the university of Minnesota where they prescribed him another food saying he had a "soft stomach". When that failed I went to youtube and researched raw diet and was lucky to have a neighbor that sells it! It changed his life within days his hair got soft stopped shedding as much was energetic and had great stools! Now he only pukes if he eats too much uncooked bone that I give him to clean his teeth. He has been on raw now for 4 years without any problems. My neighbor is putting his dog down tomorrow and won't even give him a chance on raw which is why I'm writing this. I REALLY want people to be aware about how dried dog food absorbs all the water from animal's organs and ruins them. You will notice they stop drinking about 80% of their daily water because they don't get dehydrated on raw. Walmart sells food in tubes and so does Coborns if you have them. I use this in combination of Titan red or blue. Please do your dog a favor and make the switch. Don't let money thieving vets rob you blind and prescribe your dog garbage so they can earn monthly fees for the prescription. The bacteria BS is complete rubbish. Dogs are natural raw meat hunters scavenging anything they can find in the wild and I put raw steaks for myself on my counter and break eggs daily and have never been sick. I personally enjoy sushi and even was on a sashimi diet for a while. It's just a scare tactic. Just switch slowly so your dog can adjust from bad to good food. Thank you if you make the switch I appreciate you caring for your animal, unlike my neighbor :(

It should be important to note that just because a nutrient is added and listed separately does not automatically make it "synthetic". Many of these can be naturally sourced as well. For example, Vitamin E can comes in 2 varieties, naturally derived or synthetic. When listed as an ingredient "Vitamin E", it doesn't specify enough to know which they used. Naturally derived begins with D- while synthetic begins with DL- when it's written out specifically.

I'm getting a puppy in 7 weeks and I want him to have the healthiest options but I also feel I should be a scientist or biologist to learn all the facts about feeding raw.

The meal says well balanced but well balanced for all stages of life can't be possible when a growing puppy needs a totally different set of nutrients than an adult dog. I'm so fearful of harming my puppy's health by trying to help him! Any recommendations on how to get more clarity is greatly appreciated!

I actually found a raw diet kibble! The brand name is nature’s variety instinct the raw brand and it’s a pure raw diet kibble with no extra ingredients! And they have it for dogs and cats! (Beef version) The ingredients for dogs are: beef, beef liver, pumpkin seeds, beef spleen, carrots, apples, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, dried kelp, broccoli, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, rosemary extract, blueberries, and dried chicory root. The use monomorillonite clay for shape, mixed tocopherols as a preservative, and freeze dry it. (Rabbit version)For cats the ingredients are: rabbit (including ground rabbit bone), pork, pork liver, pumpkin seeds, carrots, apples, butternut squash, rabbit liver, rabbit kidney, rabbit lung, dried kelp, broccoli, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, rosemary extract, blueberries, and dried chicory root. The use monomorillonite clay for shape, mixed tocopherols as a preservative, and freeze dry it. And they have plenty of flavors too like beef, rabbit, pork, fish, etc… The point is I think you should definitely try this new stuff because it is amazing! The price for a small bag is about 15 dollars and the price for a large bag is about 30 dollars. .
