DIY Raw Dog Food | 2022 Update

This is how I feed my dog a raw food diet in 2022. Inflation has made it a bit more expensive but it's still cheaper than kibble and WAY cheaper than made for you raw food out there on the market right now. In this video I show you where I get my dogs food, how I prepare it, store it, and feed it to him.

I have also included links to all of the tools and supplies that I use below:

My approach might not be perfect but it is simple, cheap, stress free, enjoyed by my dog, and healthier than kibble!

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!! :)

Its good to see content for dogs that are at least 100 lbs. I have 2 and both are 100lbs. Hard to get a feel for feeding big dogs raw when the creator is feeding a 10 lb poodle. 😅 no hate on the smaller dogs, just good to see.

Your Shepherd waits patiently and knows you are making it for him. It is so sweet how he sits there calmly!

Have adopted your feeding method for my five year old Lab. Ended his diarrhea! So glad to not be in the "what dog food is best" endless circle. One thing I do different is for treats I give him raw sweet potato. Usually peel and cut up four or five medium to large size, then freeze them in glass containers. Also add soft boiled eggs to his meal several times a week. He has never been healthier or happier. On behalf of Deca (Deeka) and myself thanks.

Hi there! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this video! I am getting a dog in a few days and I have been thinking for a very long time about making sure I can give him the best diet, aka raw, however I always got discouraged after watching video after video of these crazy meals and the thought of how expensive they would be. This video gives me the hope and assurance that it can be affordable and my boy Winston will be a happy healthy pup without breaking Mama's bank 😂 p.s. you have a GORGEOUS German Shepard!

Thx for the update! I've been adding more and more raw to my dog's diet for the last year. Even at 5 years old we see a noticeable difference in his energy level and overall health. Your first video(s) on the subject helped me by making it easier and less stressful to start adding raw and perfecting his meals over time as I learn. I may not have gotten everything 100% right from day one, but it is clear that he has been better off the whole time as opposed to just doing kibble and processed canned food. He just had a great checkup, perfect health and the vet says to keep doing whatever i am doing. I know you said you got some comments saying the "recipe" used is not exactly what some others would do. These recommendations change over time and we all get better as we educate ourselves (as you recommended) to do the best we can. My loved pet is healthier and happier because I came across your content last year. That is just a solid fact that is not debatable. 🙂 So, thank you for sharing what you do, it has helped!

I've experimented with all kinds of raw feeding and its a pain to get it nutritionally balanced every meal...

Your simple approach is appealing to many people starting.

I would encourage you to evaluate the idea of adding 1 egg 4x/week, 1 whole frozen sardine 2-3x week, broccoli sprouts if easy to find, and a dr mercola meal mix packet 1x daily to get the micronutrients your big pup may be missing.

It was formulated by a holistic vet and the creator of the world's first raw food diet.

The freeze dried organs are so much easier than raw organs every meal

Thank you for this video. Ten years ago, we started feeding our dogs homemade dog food. Unfortunately, the 1st gen recipes relied heavily on carbs. (I'm still convinced even with the higher carbs it was healthier than dry commercial kibble.) They lived well past the estimated age range for the breed. Nonetheless, we're still learning and we're using this recipe with hard boiled eggs we put through the grinder as well (we have an abundance) to feed our new pup. We used your link for the grinder as our 20+ yr old grinder started wearing out, putting bone through it. Blessings to you guys and may Sprocket have a long healthy life. ❤🤍

Thank you soooo much! This is simple, compared to some videos that make it seem impossible to feed raw food properly.

[moonmaddi]

Thank you so much! I’ve seen many different vids on feeding but your two are by far the most realistic and makes me so excited to start the process!

[jenniferstewart]

Thank you so much for your first video that you did with your German Shepherd. I have a 18 month old Cane Corso, who I have tried 20 different foods with him finally decided to do the raw and he loves it. I appreciate your videos and all the information that you put out there. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for continuing to post and update despite negativity! This has been inspirational and I will try it!❤

[Mal_Outdoors]

Loving your videos. I'm in the UK and been feeding my two rescue dogs high quality commercial raw for 6 years but I'm retired and need to get the costs down. I've been nervous of doing it myself but you've given me the confidence to get started.Thank you. 😀

[xKevmachinex]

That is one lucky dog. hope he is still with you.

[williamdavis]

Fantastic video.

I also love side seat drivers in the comments section commenting with things like "oh your dog also needs this, oh how can you not give that."

The reality is how you're feeding your dog is still 100x better than any of those random dog food kibble most people are using.

omg thanks for the info. I got into this from randomly watching Amazon Prime documentary about dog food industry and it was disgusting. I felt so bad for my dog. I wasn't sure where to buy the meat and how to feed them. Your meat grinder method, buying bulk from GFS, and break down of cost is all I needed to start. I'm wanting to do this but I was so lost.

Thank you.

I have 3 dogs and keep going back and forth between raw and kibble due to the fact of how confusing and expensive raw is. Thank you for making it feel like this commitment to feeding raw won’t be as hard as I make it

[sophie.v.]

You take such good care of him! Such wonderful dog parents! 🥰♥️ this video is so helpful!

[tnhsportsnetwork]

I love how you have him wait a moment before eating, when people come over to visit they are always surprised that my boy will wait for as long as I ask him too. It helps to reinforce that hierarchy.

Hey there, I really appreciate this video!! I have a German shepherd as well and I want to change to raw diet and this honestly blew my mind, never thought of grinding it myself!! I looked on line and found a grinder for $30 like yours and I’m going to do this! Amazing and happy I found this video on my feed!
Thank you 😊

1:30 We use home depot 5 gallon buckets with liners to drop the grind in. stays cleaner and easier to handle. We grind about 170+ pounds of hind quarters alone. 250+ lbs when we package up. Good for about 2 months on food feeding our dogs 2.3% of their weight
