I've mixed raw food with my dog's kibble several times before, never had a problem!

[welleslysmith]

The debate was started by both Raw and Kibble food industry. Both began to create doubts for each other’s products. The fact is dogs need raw food but the transition should be gradually done, that’s my experience. Both food can be given as per the videos on different times.

Your videos are just good Just full of tasty facts and science my brain love love eating all these nutritious video lmao. Keep up the great work!!

[dooksouls]

This is a fantastic video! I wish I was half as smart as you are. I love that you mention ferrets - ferrets are very easy to overlook when it comes to raw feeding discussions

[MichellePieon]

Always well researched and easy to understand videos. I’ve sent the link to your raw feeding guide to a few friends that have expressed interest in switching.

I have a ten week old great Pyrenees, two toddlers and work 40 hours a week. I feed him raw but I’m not always home to give it to him, so he also gets kibble. Glad to see it’s not hurting him.

Thank you, this helps alot!
I am not quite ready and reasearched to go full raw, but it seemed to me that if I mainly feed high quality kibble ands some extra raw, it would be beneficial, since I would not have to worry about nutrient gaps but also provide natural food for my cats. It's very good to have some scientific backup say that it is not at least bad!

I've been recently putting some high quality kitten kibble in a spice grinder and sprinkling into his raw diet. He has been turning his nose up to his raw diet and by sprinkling kibble powder in he's eating it more vigorously now! I have a picky eater, that loves kibble.

I feed half kibble in the morning and raw in the afternoon

My 3 month old Labrador recently started to eat raw chicken. I mix his kibble and raw food together for bfast, lunch, and dinner and it worked out great! I found out that keeding raw and kibble made his stool smaller and he feels gull for a long time. Your videos are so helpful and amazing!! (i never have to worry about feeding my dog while watching)

Thanks for the video and info. I’ve been feeding my GSD kibble in the AM and a healthy mix of raw in the evening for several years now I travel with my dog and can’t bring along the raw, so resort to 2 kibble meals at this time and she has no problem with this transition.

I’ve been researching and saw not to feed kibble and raw together. I thought “that’s nonsense.” Glad to confirm it is indeed nonsense.

[arabellaxxrichardson]

Thank you so much this video was really help full was wanting to add some raw food to my dogs diet but can't afford to yo full raw diet and didn't know if you could feed raw and kibble in the same meal as a lot of places say its dangerous glad to know its nonsense and I can give my dog both.

Feed 2 cups of Victor and 2 lbs of raw food to my dogo argentino and he’s big and handsome!

Keep in mind that cats and ferrets may not be the same as dogs. There was also a study done in 2015 on the digestibility of kibble and raw meat for cats, and it showed some very different results. There was a significantly higher rate of digestion in the two raw diets (including pre-made grinds) than the kibble. I think it would be a good idea to mention this in the description!

Had been waiting for this a long time! Thank you for posting :D

[GenietheGoldendoodle]

This is so helpful! Thank you! I feed my dog freeze dried + kibble, she’s been doing fine but I am always wondering if it is good for her in the long term. This helps a lot!

[harmac]

you can help with the digestion of raw meat by tenderizing the meat with the enzyme. pet manufacturer call them hydrolyzed protein you often see them on pet food packaging. use meat tenderizer(enzyme) prep the meat for 30minutes to an hour but no longer than that otherwise meat will become tasteless. if youre unable to get meat tenderizer(enzyme) you can buy papain tablet from local pharmacy it has similar effect.

Thank you for this video!! I think it’s great! What is your background in and is there a place where I can find the research sources that you use? I get this question a lot on my channel. Thanks!
