awesome video! We all have been brainwashed by the pet industry and vets when it comes to feed our pets, and no wonder we all have concerns when it comes to raw feeding!!. The other issue is the media always exaggerates when someone gets sick by handling raw meat at home. It has been numerous times when people and pets get sick by kibble that often gets spoiled.

What I Also recommend is to take a wet cloth and wipe the dogs mouth and any areas that it used while eating raw meat to prevent bacteria sitting there and multiplying. This is the most important for dogs with long ears, long fur around their mouth or skin folds.

i just want to say that I LOVE your vibe, and I could watch your videos for hours. You sound very professional and calm, Keep it up!

It's not scary feeding your dog raw meat. Losing your last beloved kibble fed dog to cancer is scary. I've been feeding my current dog raw meat for nearly 13 years. I've never had a healthier happy dog. She's never had food poisoning and has cost me next to nothing in pet bills. Raw food all the way for me!

A great video! I’m about to embark on raw so I’ll be binge watching your previous ones next👍

[Icenflamesrush]

Could you make a video on how to introduce raw meaty bones to your dog and how to handle a situation where they don’t seem interested in the bone or are unsure of what to do?

Recently switched from cooked to raw, and this is what remains in his diet for it to be complete. He’s got healthy teeth and no issues with chewing things like sticks. I’ve been thinking of introducing it separately from meals, as a treat or fun activity, until he gets used to it.

I love your content! You’ve helped me with my raw feeding for my dog, I’m trying to encourage my mom to feed her dogs raw too and vids like this really help to answer their concerns (about raw pork, bacteria, etc). Have you ever fed the freeze dried Vital Essentials? I use some freeze dried for breakfast since my dog seems to like a drier texture in the morning (fresh raw at night), either Vital Essentials, Bones & Co or Green Juju. Would love your thoughts on any of these! Thank you for all the work you put into these!

I'm enjoying your videos and would love to see a review on Maev's raw food line. I'm leaning towards it as it's AAFCO balanced unlike so many others. Thank you for the information you provide.

Nice, I really enjoyed this video. There's so much misinformation out there, its hard to know what to trust sometimes. I've been wanting to start giving my dog raw meat on occasion. Right now, the majority of what I feed my dog I make for him in a crock pot. 2lbs of meat (i rotate between/combine: elk, venison, bison, beef, animal organs, fowl/poultry), 1lb of brown rice, and I pick 2/3 veggies/fruit that I rotate between: carrots, peas, broccoli, apples, sweet potato, butternut squash. Plus, I give him sea kelp in his breakfast because his skin gets super dry, I give him bone marrow bones once a month, a little bit of plain greek yogurt once a week, and an egg twice a week. I also buy a bag of dog food from the fridge at Pet Station just in case I miss some nutrients that he needs. He store bought 2-3 days a week. He eats the crock pot food 4-5 days a week. Am I giving him too much variety, or is that okay? Are there things I should add?

Happy Purrsday! I always enjoy your videos, Mariah. You and Jess Caticles are a welcome refuge from the corporate pet food world. On Valentine's day, no less, I encountered several kibble pushers who insist people who feed raw/ homemade are closed minded and don't know what we are doing. Ouch! They have been feeding their 40 year old dogs nothing but kibble for the last 50 years! Keep up the good work.

[GraeMatterz]

@PawsofPrey Very informative video, Mariah. I'm just in the planning phase to switch to raw and your channel has been the most comprehensive I've found. I've already weaned my 5 cats off of kibble (one junior, 3 seniors and a geriatric 20 year old lady who is now in diabetic remission). It took over a year to get them all transitioned from dry to wet as I have one who is a kibble junkie and would pick it out of the canned food if I mixed it in. They've been exclusively eating canned for about 6mos.) I already purchased your Cat Meal Formulator and have been noodling about with it. One question I have that is on topic for this video: How long is safe to leave the food out after feeding if they don't eat it all at once? Thanks for all you do.

How long does chicken/beef and pork need to be frozen if not a pre frozen

[EarnRyanNoel]

Hi. This video is very helpful. Kudos! 😊

I would like to ask if it is okay to use a blender and mix the meat like pork and chicken together with liver and other secreting organs? So I can give it to my dogs directly? I will just add the bones separately.

Thanks and hoping that my comment will be noticed. 😂

[SuAN-talk]

Can i portion and prepared the raw food diet first, then stored for 4 weeks in frozer before feeding to my cats. Will this procedures kill the parasites and bacteria

[lindalockhart]

I buy sides of organic beef and pig. How can I be sure these don’t have parasites?

[miamor]

What if the meat is contaminated with salmonella or other bacterias I've heard some brands use cold deep pressure or pasteurize or just steam the upper part of the meat to kill most bacteria can you please make a video on that I've always wondered how to kill bacteria as there is a possibility of some meats containing to much bacteria?

[michaelrouillard]

I will be getting a puppy in May. I will be feeding raw for the first time. Is there any recommendations for training treats?

[lmacnotw]

What about using raw food for pets like viva raw? Concern of use right after purchase?

[Neon_The_GOAT]

Hello, so I made a list of everything I feed my 75-pound Malinois please tell me is this is a good combo.

Breakfast-1/5 of a stemmed carrot for eye support so he doesn't get cloudy eyes, pinch of blueberries, strawberries and black berries for fiber antioxidants and to try to prevent cancers, flaxseeds for omega 3, 1 raw egg with mem brain, 1 chicken leg for zinc and protein, 1 chicken foot for clean teeth and dental care, 1 whole fresh sardine for omega 3 and 5, 4 chicken hearts for heart health, 2oz of pork liver, and as muscle meat he has 1lb of duck-duck liver-duck hearts-duck wings I grinded up. I did a little more muscle meat or many proteins because he is very active.

Dinner-5 stemmed broccolis for vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, spoon of cooked spinach for omega 3s, Keifer with chia seeds, 1 egg with mem brain, 1 chicken leg for zinc and protein, 1 chicken foot for dental care, 1 whole fresh sardine for omega 3 and 5, 2oz of pork liver, 4 chicken hearts, 1lb of beef blend I made ground beef-beef rib-beef liver-beef spleen-beef kidney and beef tripe. I did a little more muscle meat or many proteins because he is very active.

I swear people's common sense goes out the window sometimes.
The outcry that its impossible to safely prepare raw meat is just. . .baffling to me. Does not one cut meat in their own home for their own meals? Do you not use a cutting board and wipe down your counters regularly? Have you never had sushi before? A rare steak? A Tartar?
I just, don't get it. More and more people seem to be squeamish around just the concept of raw meat. I remember being confused as to why a coworker who was tasked with browning the ground beef for tacos once was acting so squeamish about it. . .is it because I was roped into helping my mother prepare BARF for her dogs by the time I was eight?
