This girl and her advice are super dope!❤️

Thanks so much for this video! We started our older dog (also Finn :)) on to a raw diet because he has so many GI issues from when he was a small puppy and nothing seemed to help. We transitioned him to raw when he was about 2 and haven't looked back. He loves it, and I am so happy to say he has been so healthy since we switched! We now have a puppy and I am a bit nervous transitioning her because she is young, but she seems to be have no stomach issues. So I am going to do the cold turkey method. I will have some fresh pumpkin on hand just in case - but I can't wait to switch her over now. She is super interested in Finn's food so I don't think there will be a problem :) Thanks!!

We recently switched our 11.5 year old onto a raw diet. We just gave her the food. Didn't do it gradually. Never had any issues. Never have her the runs like alot of people say it will

Thank you I’m seriously considering it my dog is 10 months I home cook and she already been to the vet twice for stomach issues

I’m thinking of going “cold turkey” because my puppy won’t eat her kibble. She doesn’t like it. The only way I can get her to eat her food now is to add toppers and now I’m trying whole meal wet food. So I think I’m going to Raw on Monday.

Duuuude lmao I waited 5 minutes for her to tell me
Do it however I want I feel like I just got rick rolled

I have an 9 week old German Shepard puppy. I did do a gradual approach (mixing kibble with raw) He was fine the first day but on the end of the second day he had full on diarrhoea. Now I don't know what to do. I Was told buy the independent shop who make and sell their raw food here in the UK, which is very popular and had great reviews to go cold turkey due to kibble interfering with the digestion of the raw. However I was told by the Breeder not to go cold turkey. So confused right now. Love your videos by the way and have really helped while getting ready for my puppy to arrive.

I have some questions about raw feeding. Do you have to prepare the raw food in a special way or do you just give your dogs the food? Another question is do you just buy regular raw food from the grocery store or do you jave to get a certain type of meat/food?






I CANNOT stop watching your videos, you're AMAZING!!!

Hi! Thank you for your videos, I'm learning so much!

[priayief]

You're right! There's no "right" way to transition your dog from kibble to raw. I've been feeding raw (Prey Model Raw) to four dogs for almost 10 years. In the beginning I knew nothing about raw feeding and much less about "transitioning". The most credible advice I could find suggested that I should start with chicken and then slowly introduce other meats and organs for a period of about 4 to 6 weeks. That's what I did.


Yes, there was some loose stool but eventually my dogs adjusted. I've since learned that loose stool (a major indication of dog health) can be controlled by judicious introductions of bone. Constipation can be controlled by both reduction of bone or increase of things like heart of liver - at least in my experience.


Love your videos. Thank you.

I heard kibble digest slower than raw food so if you mix both it causes stomach problems since they are digesting at different speeds? So cutting out the kibble completely and start feeding them wet canned food and then gradually adding raw to the canned food is the best transition? but then again you are correct. Do what you feel is best for your dog cause you know your dog better than a random person on the internet.

Hi . My 9yr old pit who we love like a child was at the vet yesterday and he was diagnosed with a huge tumor. I been researching natural medicine and diet. Bc the only option they gave us was putting him down 😔 he isn't as lively as b4 but doesn't act like he's in pain so I decided to try natural remedies and we are on day 2 of thst and trying to transition him to raw . Ty so much for ur video on this! Do u have any suggestions of a kibble that I can use to help transition him as he isn't like the cold turkey method? And the food he was on was probably one of the worst that is sold. And I dumped it

Where do you order your raw food? Is there a major cost difference between kibble and raw food? Do you go to a local store or do you get it delivered from online? Btw love your channel and all the work you do to promote fostering and not to shop for dogs, but to adopt. I would greatly appreciate a response because I am thinking about adopting a dog.

Great video (as always!) In an earlier video, you mentioned being open to making a video about the pre-made raw food you purchase and defrost for your dogs vs the DIY raw food version. Would LOVE a bette4 understanding of the options for feeding a dog (and/or a brand new puppy for a first time dog owner!) a raw food diet please ☺️ Keep up the great informative work you do in fostering and educating 👌👍🏽

[FishingMadDad]

Great advice I'm just about to start my dog on raw food after watching several videos I've come to the conclusion that the benifits of this diet far out way the negatives. He's only 13 months old and been on kibble the whole time he's never really liked it, so I'm hoping the raw food will help him eat better and have more energy.

Thank you for posting I have a rescue dog for a month and now I’m going to change his diet to raw over a few weeks

[j.zhanng]

We have a 9 months old that is switching over to raw today! We’re doing cold turkey!! How many months was your puppy when you switched? We have a mini doodle :)

Thank you for spending time making videos we appreciated sooo much!

4:37 it was so random when the music came on 😂😂😂

Cold Turkey gave my dog the shits. Backtracked to lightly cooked meat and rice to settle things down. Will start to cook meat less gradually.
