People don't realize that they should wash their hands, bowls, and surfaces regularly when feeding kibble. Unfortunately, most pet owners don't clean food and water bowls after each meal, either. Then they wonder why bowls get slimy! At least raw feeders are much cleaner. Amazing video, as always (:

I was contemplating going on raw feeding for almost 3 years, before I find your channel and never had the guts to do it. I simply didn't know where to start and was thinking the preparation would be too much to handle, because me and my family have always been plant-based. I didn't know the first thing about handling meat. But your videos first gave me a sense of feasibility and then I found myself taking notes and searching thorough the links you provided. And one day I found myself asking all my local shops which kind of cuts they have and how can I find specific organs. I even purchased some necessary tools for preparation stage less than a week or two weeks period. (I lost the sense of time during these corona-days). And yesterday I made my first little batch of raw food for my cats! It was easier then I thought, but took a pretty while to prepare raw meaty bones for a first timer like me. They were at ease when I offered raw meat during the last week period, so I figured I can start a slow transitioning process. I will feed 1/3 raw, 2/3 kibble for the first 7-10 days and then up the raw ratio weekly, because my mom would get so angry if they start throwing up or having litter problems. As the bone content, I plan to ease into it slowly because they never in their life tried to eat a bone. I hope it goes smoothly. Wow I wrote quite a paragraph there, sorry! But I want to thank you making this possible for me and my cats. Your videos are the best and you deserve so much more recognition. Much love.

Something to keep in mind for the picky phase-- There's a study from the 90's that found that it can take human children about 8 to 15 times of tasting a food they don't like to adapt to the taste. I've found that to be similar for my fussy dog too!

I would’ve never gained the confidence to start my dogs on this raw food journey without your videos! Thank you so so much for giving us quality and information in your videos!

I recommend getting allergy testing done for your pet also. I found out my dog is highly allergic to eggs and several other things that are common in raw feeding

[BeingNicc]

Washing is so true! I even wipe my pups face afterwards. Somehow he gets it on his nose and elsewhere lol

The quality of your videos amaze me everytime :)

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 :(

First!!! You helped me so much with my dog and cat thank you so much

[kathavri]

Literally OBSESSED with your channel! And i DONT EVEN HAVE A DOG! I do have a hamster though, and if I get a dog or any animals you have i will take this in consideration!!

I know mushers in Alaska who feed wild caught salmon that they process and dry themselves then toss it into a cooker as needed they do feed a high quality kibble as well but their main diet is salmon and wild game. And these dog's are so full of energy and healthy that they'll run circles around most dogs down here that get primarily a kibble food diet.

Thank you so so much for another great video. I have always struggled to find good videos about raw feeding but yours are definitely the best. :)

I'm considering raw feeding both of my cats, so this information is very helpful.

8. Hearts and liver may color their stool in black (if it was bloody or washed in one water only).

I have been feeding my baby who is 6 months old vital essential raw frozen dried cat food patties. My aunt bought some chicken liver yesterday I thought I would cut up a small piece and give it to her to see If she would like it. She loved it she was crying for more lol. She's been good so far. Today I bought some chicken thighs, gizzards and chicken liver. I took a tiny piece of chicken and gizzard for her to try to see if she would like it. She ate it all and crying for more. 🤦‍♀️🤣 now I have a thing of
- chicken liver
- gizzards
- chicken thighs
Do you have any suggestions on how to start feeding her what with I have for now and what do I need to add? I still have her frozen raw dried food she has 4 bricks left and 4 cans of tiki cat after dark chicken and duck that I would like to use up. Kinda overwhelming where to start and how much to give her as she's 7.5lbs and if I need to buy nutrition supplements to add to her raw diet? I am not there yet to give her half or whole prey just yet. This is all new. If you are able to help me to start me off would be a great help. Do not want to get confused or overwhelmed to start off with.
I did check out a website perfectlyrawsome.com on steps to transit to raw but I just feel like she can dive right in as she loved it so much as she's a kitten as it says on your video if they are kitten they can transit pretty fast.
Thanks 😊 🙏

I've watched so much of your content because it's constantly recommended to me that I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed ❤ now I am ty for education

[scraw]

After being told a second time it’s likely allergies causing hair loss, constant itching and ear infections I’m convinced going raw is what’s best. I’ve avoided it because I was concerned I couldn’t balance it and would cause more harm than good. I’ve got a lot to learn. Do you use any supplements currently? Thanks!! :)

[dlg.studios]

I love your channel! How did I not find this sooner?

[spot.doodle]

Thanks for making this video, this is highly important for others to know!! 🤩🤩🤩I’m also SUPER glad that many people are becoming more knowledgeable and feeding fresh food diets like raw and home cooked to their dog! ^^

Ran across this video, and thought I would take a peek. Both our pups came from a breeder that feeds raw, so we just went with it. Luckily, we have a company in our area that provides raw diet foods, so we are able to buy meat that is packaged with 80% muscle, 10% organ and 10% bone as a base. Then you can get the meaty bones, and other additions to the diet to keep them on the right track. Our pups are doing great, no allergies or health issues like we had with our last few dogs that were on kibble. And yes, keep up on the washing, and watch the poop. It makes those potty trips so much more interesting.
