Could you actually do a video specifically explaining what are the various protocol tests done by vets when a dog or cat is brought in for being ill? Stomach issues, poop issues, other types of infections, etc… It does eventually happen that they get sick enough for a vet visit. That way when the time comes for answering the all important ‘What’s their diet?’ question, we can be armed with ‘Raw food, now start with ___ test please.’

New vet

Excellent work! Thank you 🐶🙏🏼🕊️👑✨🤍👑♾️ I’ve been watching this channel long time and my vet trusts and respects my raw choices 🎉🙏🏼✨

In my country, raw feeding became popular 20 years ago, when we got our first local raw food brand. In the beginning, a lot of vets were skeptical, but things have changed. Today it's extremely common, and everyone just sees it as normal. Keep fighting!

Here in Canada it's impossible to find a practicing vet who supports raw diets. They don't actually get any real nutrition training, but rather a sales seminar put on by the big pet food companies to push their food. In fact, if they do mention raw, they can be threatened they will lose their job or get their license removed. The industry totally appalling. We know that feeding a proper raw diet is never the problem. In fact, since feeding raw my cats never have urinary issues, kidney problems or diabetes... all problems very much caused by dry food with it's extreme lack of moisture and high carb content. Best to just not mention at all that you feed raw. You're never going to change their very set minds, and honeslty why do I have to provide a vet 1001 reasons to try to convince them. No thanks.

It's funny that the first fact about kibble "with everything a pet needs" is that it's so high in carbs. We should assess food not only in what it should have but in what it should not have.

Fat is quite low in this recipe.

This is going to be controversial on this video and this channel but you should absolutely, under no circumstances, ever give your pet raw food that you would not eat raw yourself. I am a technical consultant to manufacturers and have consulted companies that make food processing equipment. I have worked with companies that process and distribute food. I make my dog’s food and there is no way I would ever give them beef, chicken, or anything from a grocery store without it being properly prepared or cooked. Almost all our food comes from commercial industrial farms. It’s processed in factories and distributed across the country. These companies do the best they can but there are still a huge number of cases of foodborne illness and multiple recalls each year. About 1 in 7 people will get a foodborne this year. 125,000 will end up in the hospital. 3000 will die. It is reckless and irresponsible to put your pets at risk like this! True cats and dogs are prey animals and have eaten raw meat until modern times. The food you get now is not the same as what they preyed upon in the past. If you are going to produce and harvest raw food for your pet, more power to you. Be if you’re going to the store, you are putting your pets at risk.

Thank you!!!! I had a vet try to tell me dogs could not digest raw bones! I knew she was wrong but had to wait for the radiologist’s findings which proved she WAS wrong! That was a very expensive bill! Dogs can definitely eat raw bones with NO problem!

I wish I cld feed my puppy raw, but it’s simply too expensive and time consuming. He eats kibble w as much fresh toppers I can get (mostly raw eggs) but one day I hope I can feed him raw completely. Your channel is informative and helpful!

I unfortunately have to lie to my vet and just say that my pup eats a gently cooked diet to avoid any controversy over feeding raw. Needless to say they always compliment on his shiny coat and white teeth. He hasn't had any health issues eating raw. I highly recommend to any one that is hesitant on switching from kibble to do their research and give it a try, you will see a difference right away!

Dogs lived with us before history itself without Formulated Balanced Diets. They'll be ok.

Oh no, I couldn't possibly give up chicken feet to my pets... the soup they make is too delicious.

I’ve tried to incorporate mussels to my boys diet and they will not touch them. Can they have it in powder form ?

Can kelp capsules work instead of the triple blend ? Also can it be any vitamin e capsule ?

I have my dog on a raw diet and he has very bad gas. What could be the problem?

I changed my vet!

Is salmon oil not needed in a raw diet ? Also what about canned puree pumpkin ?

I feed my dog a diet of semi raw, in the summer his favorit snack to beat the heat, is a frozen raw deboned herring. And for special occasions (such as his birthday, New Years Eve, Christmas etc) he gets goodies from the butcher, like chicken liver and marrow bones and sirloin steak, and he LOVES it (he is also a big fan of bell peppers, carrots and green beans, he is a very healthy senior dog, he is so full of life, I can hardly understand that he will be 9 years old next year. His behavior hasn't changed much since he was 2 years old he is my darling goofball ^^

I feed some kibble. Today I was near the bottom of the bag (high quality food) and it was mouldy. Disgusting. And I was feeling guilty about home made following forever dog Life recipes. Wrong.

Vets spend so little time learning about nutrition during their studies….Dog owners often know a lot more about correctly feeding a dog, than their vet does!

Their paychecks rely on misinformation and ignorance. If you take a healthy animal to the vet, they WILL find something wrong with them and sell you something. Always.

Just do not discuss diet with your vet. There’s not a vet in my town that is pro raw feeding. But there is a bunch of us that are doing it and none of us get any hassles from the vet. Probably because our animals are healthy. So just don’t discuss diet with your vet. Summer open to it, or not. The problem comes when you come across a vet or a clinic who refused to see Raffet animals. To me that’s criminal. But if they’re the only vet clinic in town and they have that policy, then your choices are either find a vet out of town or lie through your teeth. It’s sad that it’s come down to this nowadays, but that’s what some people have to deal with. I know somebody who’s vet does not accept Raffet animals and she just flat lives their teeth to the vet. And she always will. Because she’s not feeding kibble.

That's why it's best to not go to normal vets. I think it's called holistic veterinarian. Also, my brother is like this too he isn't a vet but works for a pet food company & I tried telling him all of this. He is still ignorant of it.

never visit that vet again. simple.

I don't understand the way vets think, do they believe that kibble existed before dogs? Or how do they think they were fed before its invention?

1, It is none of the Vets business what you feed. 2. When you feed Barf you will not need a vet.

My golden was having gi issues with only kibble. Once I started using the cooked foods from vital brands and supplementing freeze dried organs till I then switched to actual raw and since then every visit they say he’s gotten better and looks way healthier too. Mentioned he gets raw and at times some kibble since I’m not 100% on raw just yet (busy schedule and need to organize a box freezer) but my vets seem to be ok with it.

My vet was saying the high triglycerides level of my cat’s blood test is because his raw diet. However I never feed my cats with fatty meats and always balance it with you spreadsheet. My vet even provide studies showing raw diet can lead to nutrient deficiency…while my cat is healthy except the blood triglycerides level.

I started with a lightly cooked meal and just started to transition to a raw diet. The first thing I have noticed is she only eats once a day. I think it's because she eats all of the food, unlike the kibble that she nibbled on at different times of the day and evening.

Asked my vet if I should make home made dog food. Mentioned my dog get chicken hearts, AND chicken feet. And he said making the food could be helpful in my case and they didn't even question the chicken feet part

I have a few arguments about raw feeding with my ex vets. So I switched to a holistic vet who guided me to put together a well balanced raw diet for my dogs and cat. If you can find a zoo vet, it'll be even better

Incredible that business for them is more important that health !

I experienced the "vet" anger when I informed him I was feeding semi-raw to my Rottie..

after transitioning to raw, my dog 100% cleans up her bowl. When fed kibble, it would take hours before she finishes it.

I have three cats, one had really bad dander and skin issues. One had poops that smelled so bad you had to leave the room after he went. I switched them to a raw food diet and omg the difference is amazing. I don't have to smell cat poo anymore and my other cat has a nice coat now.

My vet hasn't said anything against my dog's raw diet and actually have complimented on her physique. I've had people compliment on her teeth and coat, saying it was softer than the average Australian Shepherd.

I got all the same responses from my vet. After he had just finished telling me about letting his dogs free roam in a backyard where wild animals frequent, he told me I should not feed raw because of bacteria. I was so confused by the apparent double standard I didn’t say anything lol! Stay strong everyone…don’t buy into the pressure or the food at the front desk.

My vet told me my cat has highier numbers of uric acid which affects kidney function, she told me it is because of highier protein from raw diet...🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️...i'm not sure if i can trust this coz my cat has no issues with peeing

Vets only get paid when your animal is sick. That says plenty!

My dog wasn't eating and they blamed it on her being on a raw food. She actually had an ear infection and wasn't happy as she was in pain so she wasn't eating - they tried to get me to switch as they thought it was unbalanced and lacking nutrients

I will never understand why food dye needs to be in pet food

Trans fats are no longer allowed in food in the US. the rest of the problem sugar and the rest.

Dogs be eating better than me and my family

If I feed a 5kg cat vitamin E separately, how many mg/day do I need to give the cat?

How much fiber do you recommend for an older pitbull?60 lbs?

My cat loves Smithfield bacon

I will love this video but for kittens.... Is possible? Is not so easy to finf into for kittens... Thanks!

2 questions 1. What happens if my cat does not finish her plate of raw food, should I immediately put it back into the fridge? 2. Im currently living in Spain and I would like to get some organ meat from the local butcher shops, is it common practice for the butchers to also freeze the meat before giving it to us? Or should I also freeze that meat in the freezer for 3 weeks? thanks!!!

I accidentally bought 6 months instead of 1 months worth of ingredients and cuz I was used to buying commercial food I thought it was a little expensive but legit said "well this is reasonable enough"
