I wanted to emphasize that I'm a regular viewer who really enjoys your content. The advice to "Just start!!" really resonated with me. I'm a dedicated fan who always watches your videos. If you could add English subtitles to your videos, I would be incredibly grateful. I think it would help more people access your amazing content.

"Just start" So true. . .and that start has many different forms. For us, presently, its just providing something fresh when we have a little extra on hand. Yesterday for example our two kitties got an ounce or two of pork trimmings while I was prepping dinner. Right now the trimmings are about all I can do. It's not always daily, but it is frequently.

I can't wait to get the freezer space to start introducing new things to them though.

This is one of the most important videos you've ever made. Thank you for this. Many of your old videos go down endless rabbit holes. And it's not that balance, etc. is not important. But the extreme emphasis that has happened over the last few years where people are told time and time again that every single meal must be 100% balanced as per their definition of that has pushed many people away from Rawfeeding. It has scared people, they think their dog is literally going to die if it doesn't have all these things in its bowl for every meal. Those of us that have been feeding for over 20 years no differently. So thank you thank you for making this video.

Great advice. I have been raw feeding for 14 years. I only knew the basics when I started, which is probably adequate but have since improved a bit. It is really very simple. Nutritionists and diet formulators make it way too complex. What scares people is that they are going to kill their dog unless they consult a nutritionist. There are many nutritionists I disagree with, and my dogs are doing great at 15 and almost 16.

I’m so excited! After purchasing your starter kit, I ordered the things I could not source locally, and can soon start making my own DIY recipes and limit my dependence on base mixes!

I live in a rural community, and sourcing items that can’t be purchased at Walmart can be difficult, so I am also relying on Amazon and Raw Feeding Miami. I’m just waiting for the deliveries.

I love your channel. You are the reason I started feeding my 3 cats a raw diet almost 3 years ago when I got them as kittens. I wasn’t discouraged when I watched your videos about “balanced diets” and I literally mimicked how you fed Tangy for my cats including supplements like kelp powder and vitamin e oil. I also order from wild fork foods in order to get kidney and hearts. Thank you so much!

This video came so TIMELY for me! Last year I started exploring raw food for my cats for the first time. I stopped for a period due to various health problems with the cats but have just started again. And this time I'm even more nervous to start because I have two cats to feed with two different needs. Your video came in perfect timing for me encouraging to just start. Thanks!

[PhoenixFeather]

I absolutely loooove your videos. Whenever a new one is released I'll watch it no matter what I'm doing in the moment! 🤗

I have loved your channel since I found it a few months ago as a new dog mom. I started by adding a little at a time to ensure my little guy liked/tolerated it. but all of your info really made it so helpful to go all in once I felt like he was able/willing to eat this new raw diet and he LOVES it. He looks at me a little sideways now when I feed him commercial food lol. thank you for all of your encouragement!!

I am doing my pet food rn and it is usually the time I put your videos on!

Funny that I had a busy week and wasnt able to make my cats food, he had to eat wet food and kibble for some days, it is so crazy how BAD it is for him, I felt bad because he hates kibble... here is what I saw on his behavior (ps. In my country we dont have good raw commercial food, only some really expansive brands with a lot of rice and vegetables, so it is not an option for me):
1. He wasnt sleeping all night, always waking up and getting crazy really early
2. His energy levels were crazy too, he had peacks of energy in different times of the day and he usually does not have that when he is eating his food (his routine when eating raw is perfect, energy in the morning and night when we play with him)
3. His poop was sooo smelly and big, I didnt remember how bad it was because it usually doesnt smell at all
4. He seemed to be always hungry 😢

Anyway, just wanted to share my experience, for now on I will try to be better into making his food before it ends 😢

Happy Purrsday! Great video. Too many people think what to feed a pet is a competitive sport. Team Kibble vs. Team fresh food. LOL It's not. As you said, if raw feeding scares you, just add some to the commercial food. Eventually, you will learn how to provide a proper meal. Those hundreds of vets and nutritionists at Mars candy and Hill's want you to feed mostly corn and wheat to herbivores (dogs) and obligate carnivores (cats). There are brands of cat litter made of corn and wheat. Yummy!

Quick tip for those who order organs online, look for mexican grocery stores, honestly any non-american store will do. I have great luck finding kidneys, brain, liver, and even whole quail. So much cheaper to buy local, even if it takes a little gas or walking to find.

great video! The reason I like to feed my dogs and cat with a variety of meats is avoiding pickiness and finding out which meats create intolerance like turkey

[jacquelineclauson]

I thought raw pork was dangerous because of worms but I think you clarified that I should just freeze the meat for about 4 weeks.

[sasygrl]

Hi Mariah! I have a question...what's the importance of rotating proteins? If you have a recipe that meets all of the nutritional requirements for your pet, is there a reason to find different recipes with different proteins to meet the requirements? Is it just for variety for the pet? Love your videos, they're SUPER helpful!! TIA for your time 😁

Definitely discouraged me from starting to feed raw from your earlier videos a few years back that stressed how important it was to balance and the percentages of each ingredient and the different ingredients needed to balance each and every meal especially because I have a 3 month old puppy so every meal of hers needed to be balanced and I was watching your videos to learn how to feed her raw!!! I watched about 10 of your videos and went and bought a bag of kibble 😂😂. I didn’t think I could do this and didn’t want to cause harm because I wasn’t doing it right! But ultimately my dogs disappointment from the fresh food she was tasting here and there to a bowl of kibble made me continue to watch your videos and not be so scared as I do think a kibble diet is even more “no good” for dogs! I just decided to start and have become better and better at balancing as it’s been 3 weeks now. She’s so excited to eat and I’m happy that’s she’s so excited!! Thanks for all the information you’ve given!!!

Something Steve Irwin said once always strikes me to my core; “If it’s not good enough for me; it’s not good enough for my animals.”

[milleniaads]

Thank you so much for the video. As a new cat owner I've been going back and forth to start raw feeding my 2 kittens (they're 9 weeks old now), because Im worry I won't be able to give them the perfect meal plate. And yes, you're true, the important thing is just start first!

Love how you take us through your journey while allowing us to learn along. ❤

I love your videos. I have a 7 yr old pitbull rescue I’ve had 4 years now. I have switched her to raw over a month of removing kibble. She loves it but she acts like a foodie now. She wants to eat all the time. She doesn’t want to go on walks anymore. She lays in the kitchen hoping to get food all day 🤣😩
Is this normal for a dog who has been on kibble and now on fresh?
